TWO MORALS TO THIS STORY
Different From the Ordinary Fable, II
Is Worth Giving Some Little
Consideration.

There was once a man who thought
that the business in which he was en-
ployed could get along without him.
He would sometimes say:
eyes, work hard and probably con.
tribute something to the profits; still
/ guess if you had to you could do
without me, all right"
And again:
"a good many men think they are
indispensable. They get the idea that
the wheels would stop if they weren't
around. That's a wrong idea | know
great deal better than that"
One day the head of the firm sent
for this young man and said:
"You have given me an idea. l
have heard you say so often that the
business could get along without you,
and it has had such a psychological
effect upon me that I am willing to
take you at your word and save your
wages. Here is your envelope. Good.
BY"
Morals-Of which there are two,
and you may take your choice.
The first one is: Modesty Is pretty
likely to be it's own reward.
The second: 1t doesn't always pay
to advertise.-Life.

DO YOU UPSET YOUR WATCH7
II You Are Nervous, You Are Apt to
get Its Goat" Though No.
body Knows Why.

One of the troubles of watchmak-
ers is the man who gets on his watchs
nerves. There are lots Of customers
on whom a good watch is wasted A
good secondhand watch that has kept
perfect time for other people will, with
certain other people, go irregularly
when it is not standing still. 1t is
common knowledge in the trade that
watches are greatly influenced by
their owners.
Nobody knows the reason. but two
explanations have been offered One
Is that watches are sensitive to per-
sOnal magnetism, the natural electric
ity that human beings contain in vary
ing quantities.
The other Is that a watch may be
disturbed by the vibrations set up BY
footstep which is heavier than the
ordinary. The man who puts his heels
down heavily usually needs to set the
regulator toward slow to keep 1t from
gaining.
One Of the mysterious sides Of the
subject is that watches seldom keep
good time on people Of nervous, ex-
citable temperaments. - Pearson's
Weekly.

makes break I'll shoot him full OF
holes!"
He sat like statue on his shining
horse, his six-shooter balanced to shoot,
and something In his very presence

thrust Of his head, and the burning
hate Of his eyes-Quelled the spirits
OF the rebels. They were rag-tag
army, mounted on horses and donkeys
and mules and with arms of every
known make.
1t was just such an army as was
overrunning all northern Mexico, such
an army as had been leyying tribute
on the land for century. They spread
terror throughout all that great coun-
try south Of the American border.
The fiery glances Of the American
made them cringe as they had always
cr1nged before their masters, and his
curses turned their blood to water. He
lowered above them like giant, pour
ing forta a torrent Of oaths and beck
on1ng them on their way, and the lead
er was the first to yield.
With hand half-raised and jaw on
his breast he struck spurs to his fright
ened mule and went dashing over the
ridge.
The others followed by twos and
threes, some shrinking, some protest
Ing, some gazing forth villainously
from beneath their broad hats. As they
looked back he whirled upon them and
swore he would kill the first man that
dared to turn his head
After all, they were a generation Of
slaves. those low-browed, unthinking
poems. and war had not made them
brave. They passed on, the whole
line Of bewildered soldiery, looking in
vain for the men that were behind the
American, staring blankly at the beau
tiful woman who sat so courageously
by his side.
When the last had gone by Bud
picked up his rifle and watched him
around the point. Then he smiled
grimly at Gracia, whose eyes were still
round with wonder, and led the way
down the trail.

Microbes Gather Moisture.

According to the researches OF
Messrs. Trillat and Fouassier pub
lished by the Academic des Sciences,
microbes suspended in the air act as
centers of condensation when the air
is humid. The authors give evidence
of the existence of microbian drops in
the atmosphere and have studied their
properties. One very interesting re-
suit Is that the sudden cooling of the
atmosphere has the effect of transport.

in determinate regions. The cool
surfaces attract them from a distance

ing transported farther. These new
ideas throw light on the genesis Of Ger
tain epidemics, and may be useful In
planning the sanitation Of inhabited
places.

As Phil ran forward to greet them

WORLDS WONDER IN OREGON
Hottest Springs on Earth Said to Have
Been Located Seventy Miles
From Portland.

Springs hot enough to cook beans
and boil eggs in three minutes have
been found within short distance OF
Portland, Ore. They are on the Clack-
amas river, 80 miles south OF Esta-
cada and 70 miles from Portland.
These springs are so in number.
and one throws out stream seven
inches in diameter. The springs have
been known to the Indians for many
years. A French halfbreed named
Michel Arquetto, a trapper. hearing an
old Indian of the Molalla tribe speak
of hot springs this side of the range,
made an investigation and found
them.
The springs are supposed to be the
hottest In the world-22O degrees.
Beans have been cooked in the larg.
er spring with the same dispatch az
on a stove. Eggs, enceased in a mesh
Of any kind, have been cooked IN three
minutes. Even fish have been caught
in the CIackamas river and without
being taken off the line have been
dropped into the spring and In very
brief time cooked to a turn.
The waters come from solid rock
and are strongly impregnated with
salts. but not Of sufficient strength

Many stories are told by the Indians
with regard to the wonderful proper
ties of these springs and they have
been known to cross the mountains

to battle in the waters OF the Big
Hole" as they call It.
