Mules and War.

Along all the frontiers Of the world
wherever there is war there is de-
mand for the mule. Compared with
him the much vaunted war horse is a
vanishing Pigment Of the past His
strength, his sureness of foot, his wari-
ness of eye. his ability to endure hard
ship and hard work on little food and
with little care, have made him invalu-
able as a campaigner, whether in des-
erts or mountains. The mule has seen
the camel and the elephant disappear
from armies He may see the horse
vanish. He has seen the motorcycle
and the motorcar come in. He may
see the aeroplanes numbered by thou
sands. But it is not likely he will ever
see himself superseded in his own line
of work There may be mules without
war, but probably never war without
mules.-New York World.

WISCONSIN NEWS
Events of Interest From Many
Parts Of the State.
Philip CHOSEN GOVERNOR
McGovern and Husting Both Claim to
Have Secured United States
Senatorship.

Pluralities ranging from 1,500 to
1000 for Paul o. Husting, Democratic
candidate for United States senator,
over Governor 3. E. McGovern, Rep,
are shown in four different sets of
returns from the election in Wiscon-
sin. Both candidates claim the cleo
ton. An official count probably will
be necessary.
Comparison is being made of the re-
turns being received both by news
papers and individuals and further
confirmation is being sought of re-
turns considered doubtful.
One newspaper claims to have prac-
tically complete returns which show
Husting elected by 1,555; another
gives Hastings plurality at 1,607, with
1913 precincts still to be heard from,
and a third Milwaukee paper credits
Husting with a lead of ~2,105, with
returns from three counties still miss
ing.
The vote for governor. with 33S pre-
cincts silent, stands: Karel, DEM,
108,284; Philip, Rep, 1862;
Blaine, Ind, 1889, showing Philips
plurality so far as 26,408.

Paris In 1775.

Crime was so rife in the good city
of Paris in the year 1775 that half a
dozen cOrpses were shown most morn
ings 10 the morgue. and nets were low
cred each night from the Pont Neuf
to catch the persons thrown over by
the cutthroats. Yet the punishments
were by no means lenient, and Jekyll
gives a horrible description of how he
had seen a criminal broken on the
wheel without stirring from the bal
cony of his own apartment. when
Monsieur de Paris discharged the
duty of his Office in bag. wig and ruff
fies and bien poudre.

SOUND BUSINESS MAxlMs.

Use Your Ability and AXE No Stock
In the Law of Chance.
Most men who have amounted to
anything started with nothing but
ability and determination. a combina-
ton which recognizes no man made
limitations.
ANY kind of work is better than idle
pess. which is directly responsible for
most Of the unhappiness in this world
Idleness is a dangerous thing. 1t
May grow into habit that might stick
to you after you get back in harness.
and the man who loafs on his job is
only fooling himself
Eternal, intelligent effort is the price
Of commercial growth. and where there
is no progression there is bound to be
retrogression Business is something
like aeroplaning-to stop is to drop.
and to drop is generally to bust.
If had an enemy and wanted to get
even with him | could wish him moth
ing worse than to land in soft job
and get the loaing habit. 1t would
only be question of time before he or
the job petered out, and the longer he
held on the worst off he'd be in the
end. for there is a law of compensa-
ton which somehow or other makes us
work in old age for the time we waste
in youth or suffer If we can't make
good.
Pin your faith to this law of COM
pensation. but don't take any stock in
the law of chance; there's no such
thing. Waiting for something to turn
up in the belief that things are bound
to come your way eventually is throw
ing dice with fate. Many good dog

a Wordless Comedy In Which She Who
Tapped Last Tapped Best.
She was pretty, and as she leaned
against the counter in the marriage
license bureau she carelessly stretched
a forearm on the broad surface while
she tapped the wood with her fingers.
A one carat diamond flashed in a man
her to attract attention, which appar-
emily was the purpose sought by the
attractive wearer.
Enter a second young woman with
her escort
She was not so pretty nor so richly
attired She also leaned against the
counter, while her fance, a large man
and apparently entirely capable, filed
out an application blank.
The second woman caught the sound
of the tapping and turned to see the
fash of the gem.
The first young woman glanced at
the face of the last arrival. took a
f1eeting appraisement of garments and
style and continued to tap. The second
young woman indolently raised her
arm. placed it on the counter and be-
gan tapping with her fingers. The first
young woman turned in surprise. Then
she dropped her arm, her lips became
a straight line, and she walked to the
desk where her prospective husband
was writing.
The second young woman smiled and
also let her arm fall to her side. The

INGENIOUS BOOKKEEPING.
How Doctors May Have Banks Keep
Track of Their Business.


Track of Their Business.
The Medical Record quotes from a
writer in the British Medical Journal
who suggests that physicians should
make banks serve as their bookkeepers.
Sir John Collie is the author Of this
system His plan is to keep two bank
ing accounts at the same bank
1.-The first. No. J." says the writer, is
his ordinary current account. into
which be should pay all the money he
receives. whether he has been paid in
cash or checks. 1t Is an excellent rule
never to spend penny which has not
come to one through his banking ac-
count. The physician should never get
checks which have been paid to him
cashed by the local tradesman. He
should never pay his chauffeur with
his fees Every single item received
from the physicians practice from one
years end to another should go
through his banking account No. /. Ii
the physician has been tempted TO use
a FIVE dollar bill which some one has
paid him unexpectedly on round or
if he has bought stamps with the mon
ey which some patient left at the Office,
then he should draw a check for the
amount, cash it and pay the money
into his bank Thus, and thus only, can
ne make his banker his bookkeeper.
IF the physician should die suddenly
or wish to sell his practice, then. and
then only. whether his other business
books are kept well or not, the lawyer
or the medical agency or the purchaser
who wades through his effects will re-
jOice to find one method Of knowing
gross receipts and getting some idea of
the real intrinsic value of the business
and will from the physicians bank
book alone tell the total cash receipts
from the practice upon which to found
the purchase price.
AT the end of every year the books
should be balanced. and if the doctor
cannot balance them himself or has
not the time the comparatively small
sum which a professional accountant
will charge, say So or $40. will be well
repaid"

BIG UNDERTAKING
Sister City Proposes To Show An
derson That Successful Fair
Can Be Held In County

Time and time again n county fair
has been proposed for Anderson
county and each time the business
men would say that they favored the
plan and for day or two it would
seem thnt the hopo was about to be
realized, only for the promoters to
finally givo up the plan and another
year would pass by without anything
being done. The attempts to hold
fairs were failure because OF moor
management.
People living in Bolton do not seem
to believe In failure Of this kind. and
when they decide they want thing
they go after II. A number OF Bdltoa
people were in Anderson yesteFla;'
and they told about the organization
of their fair association and OF tho
plans which they hope to carry out.
They say that the SUCCESS of tho ven
ture, Is already assured.
The members Of the Bolton fair as
sociadon. met last Wednesday, morninb
and elected officers. appointed Com
mittees and fixed the date for the next
annual fair. The following officers
were elected: y. A Ger, president;
Dr. E e. Frlerson. vice president; T.,
". Campbell, treasuser, and Claude
a. Crates. secretary. Tho fair, as us
ual, Will be for one day only. and
Wednesday, October 81. was named.
This fair promises to be tho host
ever pulled of in Bolton. though tho
former were away the best in tho
state. Thousands attend the annual
fair In Belton. The rule Is little
different from most fairs. No admIs-
sion fee is charged. The exhibits Will
te large-the premiums will be num-
erous and the contest will be very ex-
citing. /,
In the near future the premium list
