PEN MIGHTlER THAN TONGUE
Neat Excuse of Brilliant Writer for His Inability to Deliver Ex.
 pected Speech.

Not long ago flourishing indus trial town decided to honor a dis tinguished writer who in his plays and novels has given us so many vivid pictures of his life and characteris- tics. Like many clever writers and takers, he is no orator. and when he consented to be the chief guest at a banquet-people wondered how he would get through the after-dinner speech. The toast of the evening, proposed in facile and fiorid phrase. was enthusiastically honored, and as the great man reluctantly rose to re- ply some of the guests doubtless re- called the flashing epigrams in his plays. He paused moment, and then, glancing round the crowded room. pulled a fountain pen out of one of his pockets. "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen" he said as he non chalantly fingered the pen, this is my only means of expression. I thank you"

LARGE REWARD FOR HONESTY
to Young Girl Who WIthstood Temptation.

A wealthy man died in Brussels, leaving nearly the whole of his fortune to young woman who was entirely unacquainted with him.
 He was a very eccentric man, and set out, like Diogenes, in search of an honest man. His tub was an om- nibus, and his lantern small coin. In the omnibus he took his seat near the conductor, and always showed himself very obliging, passing up the money of passengers and returning the change, but to the latter he al ways managed to add franc, or a halffranc. Then he would watch those to whom it came. They would count 1t carefully: notice the extra coin, and invariably slip it into their pockets. No one thought of the poor conductor, whose meager salary of three francs a day could ill spare such a loss.
 But at last a young woman passed hers back with: Conductor, you have given me half franc too much"
 "Diogenes," delighted, followed her home, made inquiries, and as the an swers were satisfactory, made his will in her favor, though he never gave her warning that her half-franc was going to bring her million.

MIDDLE OF. THE ROAD BEST
Pretty Good Path to Travel If One Is Sure He Has Selected the
 Right Highway.

Tn spite of all the talk, most of us would still rather travel on rail- road than in an aeroplane or sub- marine boat. You don't have to get clear off of the road to keep out of rut You have known those who would give up position and make an entire change in business for "a lot more money" They would come around at noon, all rigged out like the flags of all nations, and tell you about the snap" Then they would disap- pear, and the next you would hear of them they would be needing plugs for the holes in their shoes or wearing straw hat in October
 It is pretty safe guess that 1t will pay you to go to the end of the road that you are on if you keep in the cen ter of 1t. If 1t is straight enough and wide enough for you to see those who have reached the end of 1t; if you care to go the way the best of them went, for the best they got for the go- ing, keep going.-Exchange

AcetyIene and Gasoline.

The flame of acetylene gas is in tensely white, and when examined by the spectroscope is found to resemble sunlight more nearly than any other artificial illuminant. It's extreme whiteness makes the naked light somewhat trying to the eyes, but when the light is softened by suitable globe this objection is largely over come. Whether this light or that pro duced by a gasoline yapor lamp is the easier on the eyes we are not prepar- ed to say, nor can we offer an opinion as to the comparative cost of the two systems of lighting. An acetylene gas plant is by no means difficult to oper- ate, and when ordinary precautions are taken there is absolutely no dan ger.

In looking through postal guide recently we discovered the fact that Union county is one of ten counties out of the seventy-five in the state that has no rural postal routes and we hope the advent of automobiles which are becoming common in the county will be the means of bringing about better roads and good roads will mean rural free delivery of mail Routes have been suggested at different places in the county several times but the postal authorities have re- fused to establish them on account of bad roads.

lockjaw Superstition Exploded.

There is peculiar, but at the same time widespread, superstition about lockjaw that should one be cut be- tween the first finger and the thumb However, an eminent British scien- tist, who is an authority on tetanus, to give the disease it's scientific name, has just given vigorous contradiction to this superstition. A cut between the thumb and finger is no more like any of the other fingers, he says. It Is not the position of the cut that brings on the disease, but the germs that get into the wound.

At first they marked it with headboard, but the New Century Club of Camden erected 9 stone slab over the grave.

COULDN'T ENTHUSE OVER IT
;ee;ored Man Had Distinct Idea About What Happened to Person In the
 Electric Chair.

Two negroes who were arrested when caught in the act of murdering another, were lodged in the same cell in jail They had discussed the possi- bilities of their case when they would be brought to trial on the murder charge, and each was convinced that nothing but verdict of guilty could be returned. as they had been caught with the goods on them
 They discussed also the possible penalties they would be called on by the state to pay for their crime.
 Prison terms from one year to life sentences were thought of, when one of the two happened to think that both might be condemned to die.

Why is it that the dead beat is so

Why is it that the dead beat is so highly esteemed in some communi- ties, even though he doesn't pay a cent of the fare as he goes through life9 One of the greatest mysteries to us is how some folks get along with fellow men. They never pay a debt. yet they seem flush and prosperous, picking the fairest flowers as they pass along the highway of life and, in many in stances, looked up to and admired by sycophantic public. Some times it appear, our old adages about honesty get awful jolts in the neck.

Thirteen Campaigns Have Been Car ried on in Michigan, Ohio and IlIi- nois-Holden's Plan Meets Warm
 Reception With the Farmers.

Prof. P. c. Holden, director of the Agricultural Extension Department of the International Harvester Company of New Jersey, has planned and put into operation a new method of ex- tending agricultural knowledge.
 Holden was the originator of agri- cultural demonstration trains; of az ricultural short courses, and many other effective plans, through the agency of which millions of dollars have been added to the agricultural wealth of this country.
 The latest plan of Holden is to place alfalfa upon every farm. There are three prominent features in his plan:
 CD The introduction of compara-
 lively new crop into the Corn
 Belt, Southern and Eastern
 states.
 (2) Going direct to the homes of the
 farmers, where meetings are
 held in the fields, and success
 and failure discussed according
 to local conditions. (3) The use of that most modern ve-
 hicle-the automobile.
