"All this talk about the value Of

of being tipped off to what's coming
and I've never known from actual
experience any player who wasn't
afraid he would get crossed.
"I'l never forget the day the
Cubs stole Vic Willis signals and
then got only two hits off him. l
also remember another time when
they were blanked, although they

and try to outguess the pitcher in
stead Of going up thinking they
have an ace in the hole. y

Runaway On Depot Road

A runaway, which threatened
serious consequences, occurred on
Sunday about seven-thirty when a
horse driven by Floyd West be-
came frightened at an automobile
on Main street. The horse made a
short turn at South College avenue
and ran toward the Pennsylvania
station. w. w. Henry. who ac-
companied West, was thrown from
the wagon in front of the residence
Of Walter G.. Curtis. Mr. West re-
manned in the vehicle until it was
upset near New Amstel avenue.
Although both men were badly
bruised it is not thought their in
juries are serious. The carriage
was broken to pieces.

Extension Lecture On
Napoleon Bonaparte

On Thursday, May %, Profess
sOr f. L. Smith of the department
of modern languages of Delaware
College, addressed the students of
the DUPONT High School, Whining
ton, on "Napoleon Bonaparte. -
Professor Smith said in part:
Napoleon was born on the is
land of Corsica on August Is, 1869.
From his mather Letizia Ramoline,
he inherited that force of will and
power of quick decision that made
him such a masterful man in both
war and diplomacy. He was edu-
Gated in the military schools at
Brienne and Paris. AS a student
he showed an aptitude for the
study of mathematics and a fond
ness for history. At school he was
gloomy and morose. When he had
finished his military education the
stirring times consequent upon the
French Revolution furnished him
with opportunities to make rapid
strides III his chosen profession.
His ability to conceal his inten-
tons and to concentrate his attack
upon the enemy's weak spot, to-
gether with a dogged determination
to carry the day, led him through
many brilliant campaigns against
almost every nation Of Europe, I'M
til they begged for peace.
AS Emperor of the French with
Josephine as Empress, Napoleon
for time ruled firmly and well
over contented people; but con-
spirators and enemies succeeded in
arousing the jealousy and hatred
of first one nation and then another
until he was driven from Russia in
1912, after a disastrous campaign.
He then called upon exhausted
France to raise a new army to COM
bat the combined forces of Austria,
Russia, Prussia and Sweden, while
England was driving the French
forces out of Spain. This cam
paign finally resulted in defeat il
the great "B&ttle of the Nations
at Leipzig in 1913. He now tried
in van to defend France against
the allies. His military maneouv
res of defence were brilliant, but
unsuccessful against superior mum

Signal stealing is taboo with

ers. Paris finally fell into the

bers. Paris finally fell into the
hands of the emmy.
Napoleon was forced to abdicate
on April 4, 1914, and was at last
driven from France to the island
of Elba. In the following Febru-
airy he returned to France, raised
new army in few weeks, and at
tempted his favorite operation OF
striking the allies at the point of
junction of the two armies; but
his plans went wrong and he met
crushing and final defeat at
Waterloo on June IS, 1915. He was
then banished to the island of st.
Helena, where the hero Of Rivoli,
the Pyramids, Marengo, Austerlitz,
Jena, Friedland, Wagram, and
oscoW, died Of cancer on May D,
1921. He was buried as de Mus
set says, in a little valley on de-
serted island, under weeping
willow"
Napoleon s body was brought
back to Paris by Louis Philippe in
1910 and was placed in the lnvali-
DIES, according to his last wish, 'on
the banks of the Seine among the
French people whom [ loved so
well. ~
On Thursday, May q, Professor
c.. A. Short Of Delaware College,
lectured before the dupont High
School Of Wilmington, on "Gold
Mining in California. - The speak
er first described such primitive
methods of mining as the cradle
and sluice methods. which were en-
ployed with small profit by the
Chinese. He then took up and ex-
planned the process known as
"quartz mining" which is now
used in California. In this process
he said, the gold-bearing rock is
taken from the mine and crushed
in stamping mills; the free gold is
collected on amalgam plates, and
the pyrites, ETC., reduced by roast
ing and by the "cyanide process. :"
At the "clean-up," the gold is
moulded into bricks, and shipped to
the mint. In order that gold
mine may be. successfully worked
at a profit, it must be near a supply
of water and timber. Water is
necessary for power and for reduc-
ing the ores; and timber is neces-
sary for constructing shafts, drifts,
and tunnels. The most spectacular
form of mining-hydraulic mining
the speaker said, has done so
much damage by filling valleys
with clay and silt that it has been
prohibited by state legislatures !;
and placer mining is practiced now
only by schoolchildren.
This lecture is one Of those offer
ed by the Delaware College Exten-
sion Committee.

Y. NJ. b. A. CHRISTMAS
This Live Organization Brings Cheer
to Many Families

The committee on charities for the
Yambas had big job on Christmas
eve and day, and they received lots
of help from members and others in
terested in the work. Altogether they
had several hundred dollars to work
with, and were enabled to assist many
worthy people to enjoy the day when
otherwise they might not have done
SO.
They distributed boxes containing
the necessaries for a good Christmas
dinners and several more dinners, and
candy and mittens for the children
to twenty-nine families. Besides this
they did large amount of other work
in distributing clothes and fuel and
other necessaries donated by different
citizens for the work.
They have shown the real Christmas
spirit in helping those who are needy,
and there has never been such a thor
ough and energetic campaign carried
on here to make Christmas a real day
of good will and cheer.

The Fellow Who Thinks He Is Al
ways Right

Some men there are who think that
they alone are right.
They seem to think that Providence
has provided them with some special
faculty for seeing the right side of
all questions.
If you do not agree with them you
are either fool or a knave-in their
estimation.
Tolerance is word not to be found
in the lexicon of these men.
They think you should agree with
them because you should be CONVEX
sat with their superior ability to pass
righteous judgment on all matters.
Everyone knows few of these
self-appointed Solomons.
They are the most disagreeable
mortals one ever has occasion to deal
with.
As a rule, they are ignorant, bias
ed, narrow souls on whom it is not
worth while to spend either time nor
energy.
Every person has among his ac-
quaintances a sufficient number of
broadminded, tolerant, well informed
men and women, with whom he can
spend his spare time and to whom he
can go for inspiration and fellowship,
to let the ow-self-centered fellow
go his way.
There is no use trying to convince
The Lamar register., 1914-12-30

people who have sealed their convic-
tions and steeled their wills against
reason.
The only thing to do with such peo-
pie is to let them have and let them
go their own way.
Tolerance is a virtue not sufficient
ly priced.
The only grounds upon which you
can claim consideration for your own
opinions is that you accord others the
same right in the matter of holding
opinions that you claim for yourself.
A man may be tolerant and yet be
firm. He may hold to his own ideas,
and defend them, and yet be willing
to listen to what the other man has to
say, and at least give him credit for
sincerity.
1t is not only discouraging but it
is disgusting to find them who are
continually impeaching the motives of
those who do not agree with them.
They seem to think that they have a
mortgage on all sincerity and that all
civic righteousness is native of their
mentality.
A new year is dawning. Let us
hope that it will see the beginning of
a broader, better, more tolerant view
of life and men and matters. Let us
all understand that it is good and
pleasant for brethren to dwell to-
gether in unity"

Francis J. M'Carty

Died-At the home of DIR. and Mrs.
Gray in Pueblo at 900 A. NJ. Christ
mas day after an illness Of several
months, Francis J. M'Carty, one of
Lamar's leading attorneys. He was
AZ years old on November 30, 1914.
He was born at Conception, Missouri,
and began the practice of law at Stan
berry, in that state. He removed to
Colorado in the early 90s and located
at Pueblo, but soon after returned to
Stanberry. He was noted democrat
ic orator in his section of Missouri,
and exposure in the campaign of 1896
is said to have started the decline in
health which caused him to retire
from the practice of law. He came to
Colorado and engaged for several
years in the real estate business in
Prowers county. He located many
substantial and prosperous farmers
in our county, some Of whom are now
prominent and influential citizens.
Some time in 1908 Mr.. M'Carty
again began the practice Of law, and
became a member of the firm Of Mer-
rill & M'Carty. They built up a good
practice and have been very success
full in the higher courts. For the past
two years his health has failed rapid
ly Some weeks preceding his death he
went to Excelsior Springs, Missouri,
but soon returned, his health failing
rapidly. He was taken to st. Joseph's
hospital in Denver, but when it was
found that relief could not be had he
was taken to the home of his sister
in Pueblo where he finally passed
away.
Deceased was a man of great en-
ergy, both physical and mental. In
spite of failing health he became con
nected with the defense of the strik-
ing miners accused of murder in
Huerfano county and performed great
labor in gathering evidence to pre-
vent these cases from being tried in
Prowers county, and it was mostly
through his labors that said cases
went to Pueblo county instead of
Prowers.
He was an orator of considerable
ability, big hearted and generous
man, and made many warm friends
in Prowers couney. He was bachelor
and was very popular among young
people and children.
He had many friends in Prowers
county who will mourn his loss, and
who will not soon forget him
Mr.. John M'Carty, a lawyer Of
Stanberry, Missouri, and Mrs. DR..
Gray of Pueblo are his only surviving
brother and sister.

ECONOMISTS FOR The PEOPLE

We believe that store which
recognizes moral business code is
a factor in the up-building of the
business life of the city in which it
is located and that instead of Great
ing a destructive m p e i { n
against other stores in the town, it
is helpful to them through the con-
fidence that has been added in the
minds of the people who trade in
that city. A few of the rules incor-
porated in our business policy and
strictly adhered to are: Strictly
one price"-you buy at our store at
the same price as your neighbor;
money refunded cheerfully;" Civ
ing the best possible merchandise
at the least possible price right at
the beginning of the season and not
loading our goods with exorbitant
prices early il the season and de-
pending on fictitious sales to dupe
the people with later on" "a guaran-
tee in our store is an obligation"
IF we buy for less we will sell to
you for less;" mo misrepresenta-
ton of values;" courteous, square,
broad minded treatment Of our Gus
toners" To live up to these rules,
marx true to the linein every detail.
Also we call our store The store
with a conscience. We live up to
that, too. We also believe Chick
ems come home 10 roost."

There's a Difference

in the way different merchants
buy their goods. A great many
people believe that because a mer
chant is in small town, he must
necessarily do business in a small
town way. You go into the aver
age country store and the articles
you see do not appeal to you as
they do in the big city stores. This
is partially due to the big mer-
chants better means of display, but
in many instances it is due 10 the
different class of merchandise he
carries, his buyers are wide awake
and critical. 1t has always been
our policy to keep out of the rut of
the country store keeper.
We have made a study of the
merchandise game and get our
goods through the same channels
as the big city buyers. Our con-
nection with the Retailers Com
mercial Union solves the question
of buying in quantity.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK

has during he years of its life here
tried in various ways to do two
things:
First, to Impress upon people, es-
pecially the young men, the neces-
sity, in ORDER to be successful, of
spending les than they earn. If a
man earns a salary of 100000
yearly and pends it all he is a fail
ure. He is spendthrift now and
will become a pauper late in life
when his earning powers are i'm
paired. Such a habit is aea inst an
applicant for any position of respon-
sibility.
Secondly, that a successful man
carries bank account. In these
days a man who has no bank con-
nection is 4 poor man. Howevar
worthy it i. hard for such a man to
get credit Independent of any
selfish pur rose we rejoice in the
success of my young man who has
the evidence of his prosperity. if
it is true, as Booker T. Washington
says to the colored man, that
negro who 5 property owner is
seldom see in the courts, that it is
the improv dent classes that COM
NIT the cri les and fill the jails of
the countr is it not also true that
the white eople follow along the
| same lines
AS a r tional banker | plead
guilty to alliance with the men
who succeed. The man who sue
ceeds is first of all the man of char
acter. That is necessary and i'm.
portant asset in obtaining a credit
standing al bank. If you do not
show disposition to make good
the promises made to bank do not
complain If you cannot borrow
money there. A standing with the
banks of this country helps a man
to success and every young man
ought to know it.

er Falls. We do not believe that
there is another college town in
the country where SO much per-
sonal interest is taken in the young
people who come to attend school.
1t is fact that has oft been agree
ably commented upon by visiting
educators, the local teachers and
by the students themselves. Riv-
er Falls now, and always has, to
the best of our recollection, occu-
pied place very high in the es-
timation of the travelling public.
We believe that our city stands as
high in the minds of people who
know it, in every respect, as to
morals, as to citizenship, as to mu-
nicipal Improvements, as to tn e
character and financial standing
of it's business men, and as to its
city government, as any city in
the Northwest, and We would think
that in case of near-slander, such
as the innuendOes carried in the
article referred to, a retraction,
or at any rate a disavowal of any
intention to convey the impression
that River Falls is immoral, should
be forthcoming. In conclusion, we
sincerely hope that, whether the
city is voted license or no license,
the parents Of students will con-
tinue their confidence in the good
people of River Falls, and will not
be influenced to a disa greea bic
through staten e n t S
made in the article referred to.
