No community can hope for prog

of its opportunities, in which there is
not developed an aggressive influence
that not alone impresses itself upon
the investigator, but goes out Of its
way to attract new population, invest
ment and interests that tend to devel-
opment. There are two obstacles that
interpose an effective bar to consist
ent growth in population and wealth,
no matter how great may be the nat
ural advantages for their promotion.
One is the placing Of self-interest
above home loyalty on the part Of
majority of citizens, and the other is

isfied with existing conditions that
they take no interest in furthering i'm
provement. The former is the more
deadly for it Is poison that will kill,

1t is not difficult to distinguish the
type that makes up the active deter

individual who leads the van in oppo-

provements. Sometimes he is a citi-
zen of influence and substance, with
an enviable bank roll that has been

but none to spend in municipal ex-

the disgruntled individual who takes
pleasure in exploiting the fact that
everything is going to demnition bow

making strangers the victims of his

1t is the far larger class, however
of purely passive people who are the
most difficult to galvanize into an
active influence for the general vel

they take no interest one way or the
other, in community progress, but
they can generally be arrayed as

GEN. MARlON'S LEAP FOR LIFE
Tradition Declares That the Famous
"SWamp Rats" Horse Cleared
Fence Eight Feet High.

General Marion was native Oh
South Carolina, and the theater
of his military exploits was the coast
region Of that state. The strength of
his constitution and his long familiar
ity with the trying climate Of that
low lying country enabled him to
endure hardships that few men could
have resisted.
General Marion was slender and not
very tall, and he rode when in serv-
ice an extremely swift-footed and pow
erful horse. When in fair pursuit,
nothing could escape, and when in
fight, nothing could overtake him.
Once he was almost surrounded by a
party Of Dragons, and had to take
refuge in cornfield The field, which
lay several feet lower than the ad-
joining land. had formerly been part
Of the marsh. General Marion en-
tered it at the upper side; the dra'
goons who were in chase of him
leaped the fence also and were only
short distance behind him. His
only possible way of escape was te
leap the fence at the lower side.
To drain the field OF it's supertluous
water, q trench had been cut around
that part Of the field four feet wide
and four feet deep. The mud ant
clay removed in cutting the ditct
made a bank on it's inner side, an(
on the top Of the bank was fence
In all, the top of the fence was near
ly eight feet above the level Of thu
field, and the ditch four feet wide
ran parallel with it on the farther
side. The dragons knew the nature
of the obstacle, and believed that !
was impossible for their enemy tt
pass it. Accordingly, they pushed for
ward with loud shouts Of exultation
calling out to him to surrender o
| perish by the sword
Marion, however, spurred his hors
to the charge. The noble animal, a
| IL conscious that his masters life wa
in danger, approached the barrier il

recovered himself without loss of tim

Leprosy In North America.

In adopting a resolution favoring q
bill before congress for the establish.
ment of national leper colony in the
United States, the rather startling
statement was made that the number
of lepers in this country was es.
timated at between 300 and 500.
There must have been great in.
crease of these cases within the last
quarter of a century IL these figures
are correct, and it Is high time that
some provision for segregating the
lepers in place where they can re-
ceiye humane treatment was made.
The lepers in the colony at Malo.
kai, Hawaii, are comparatively happy
in spite Of their affection. They have
companionship, sanitary quarters, the
most scientific treatment, and every.
thing possible is done to make their
lot endurable. It Is almost impossible
to imagine what leper in this coun.
try, confined alone in shack and
treated much as the lepers were in
Biblical times, must suffer. It would
be more humane to put him out Of his
misery at once.
There are only about 20 lepers In
England, and yet leper colony Is to
be established there In deserted part
of the county of Essex. The late Lord
Strathcona left a bequest Of $4,000
for this purpose. Surely II there is
need of a leper colony In England
where there are only 20 cases, there
Is much more need for one In the
United States, where there are be
tween 800 and 500 cases, isolated but
widely scattered.-Argus.
