STOPPED CHARGING TIGER
Remarkable Presence of Mind That
Saved Japanese Soldier In
Dire Peril.

In the mountainous province OF
Kirin, formerly one Of the three
provinces of Manchuria, dispatches
are conveyed by soldiers, who ride
from one district to another. One
day last year soldier was on his
way back to Kirin city, the capital
Of the province, when he espied a
large tiger coming toward him. Dis
mounting, he aimed as best he could
with rifle not of the most modern
pattern, and fired. The animal,
though wounded, was not disabled,
and sprang in fury toward the
Joldier. Fortunately for the man,
be kept his head, and with the rifle
lightly clasped and supported against
his chest, awaited the oncoming of
the animal. Just as the tiger was
ready for the final spring, with his
jaws vide open, the soldier jammed
the point OF the rifle with all his
might through the mouth, against
the base of the skull. The force
of the animals spring as he rushed
forward no doubt helped to end the
struggle, for in a few minutes the
tiger was lying on its side and
breathing its last. The plucky SOL
aier rode to the capital, 80 miles
away, and reported the incident to
bis commander. Half dozen other
soldiers then accompanied him to
the spot, and between them the ami

Good Advertising Car

On New Years night a car filled
with Minnesota's choicest farm
products and various samples of
manufactured goods, pulled out of
the St. Paul Union Depot to begin
a two thousand mile journey thru
the states of Nebraska, Missouri,
Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin.
This car is furnished and trans
ported free by the Great Northern
Railway Company and has been
mantled by the Minnesota State
Board of Immigration. 1t is the
purpose of this car to exploit Min
nesota's resources to the people in
the states named above. The car
will stop one day and sometimes
two in about IS towns where the
public will be admitted to view the
products and the men in charge
will be there to explain about
Minnesota and provide the visitors
with literature, maps. etc. In the
evening in the towns where the car
stops, free moving picture show
will be given. These pictures con-
sist of Minnesota's agricultural
scenes, land clearing, sowing and
cutting grain, dairying. mining,
milling, in fact practically every
branch of Minnesota's industry will
be shown in these pictures. Ex-
Congressman Frank M. Eddy, of
Sauk Centre, Mimi, will lecture to
these pictures. Mr.. Eddy is in
charge of the car and will be as
sisted by Harold knutson OF St.
Cloud and G. S, Benson, of St.
Paul Minn.
The first exhibit was held at
IO'Neill, Nebraska beginning
January 3rd and the last exhibit
will be at Genoa, Wisconsin, on
April 3rd, Display ads are carried
in all the local papers where the
car goes and an advance agent
furnished by the Great Northern
Railway will travel a week ahead
of the car drumming up interest
and distributing thousands of hand
bills and window cards, giving
notice of the dates of the arrival oi
the car.

FLY TRAPS IN CITY STREETS

at the first street corner was no
ticed curious object, which proved,
on close inspection, to be a screened
frame twelve inches square and over
two feet high, about the size of
big, square waste basket. 1t was a
fly cage. The bottom sat about two
inches from the ground. In this
bottom was a cone-shaped screen
with the large opening down. Un-
der this was placed banana peel or
other fly delicacy. Investigation
demonstrated that the pests 60 un-

thence through the small hole into
the cage. Naturally it would take a
rather smart fly to find that little
hole again and get out. Flies in

light, SO that cage, with no effort
whatever, catches flies by the thou

THE BOY FROM FOURTEEN
TO TWENTY

THE BOY FROM tOOKlEEN
TO TWENTY
If the boys could be kept in the
straight and narrow path from
fourteen to twenty we would need
but one penitentiary where we now
need two, and that one would be
only half filled. We do not mean
to say that half or more of the in
mates of our jails and penitentiar-
les are boys of this age; but that
the first steps in crime, and habits
that leads to steps in crime, are
then taken.
The boy is not always to blame.
He is passing through the most
dangerous and critical period of his
entire life, and too often without
guidance or direction, hence with
out chart or compass. Passions
awaken within him, which he has
not learned to control. He has
emotions, hopes, aspirations,
dreams, of which he will say moth
ing. He is an enigma to the
family, and none the less an enigma
to himself. He has the appetite OF
a sawmill, the growth of bad
weed, and no morning is long
enough for his slumbers. He
would rather play or sleep than
work. He is awkward and often
rude without intentions; clumsy
and bashful with girls; boastful
with boys. He is religious inside
and often irreligious outside. He
has ideals of goodness; and dreams
of self-sacrifce which he will not
utter lest he should be considered a
dreamer and laughed at. He is
revengeful if wronged; yet resolved
that if his most bitter enemy is in
trouble, he will by forgiving to him,
heap Goals of fire on his head.
He will con6de in his mother
possibly his sister, and when about
twenty in his sweetheart, generally
several years older than himself
but he will seldom open his heart
to his father, whom he fears more
than he loves. He is too big either
to pet or to punish, and is regard.
ed as too young to be amendable te
reason. He can be persuaded blu,
cannot be driven. If he has suf
fered injustice. however uninten
tional, it rankles within him. HI
broods over it and magnifes it; per
haps cries over it; but is magnani
mously resolved to grant forgive
ness after the supposed wrong do
ers has been forced to ask it. HI
will grant his mothers requests
but he will not take orders from
anything that wears petticoats, whe

him and the whole family to laugh
at him when he first tries to shave
or begins to show an interest in
neckties; because, deep down in hi:
heart, the boy really loves his home
and all that is therein.
How shall we deal with this boy!

Andrew Grey
BY HARRY BERLIN.

The large steamer Celic had an
chored at New York. when a boy
about sixteen years of age, with q
light complexion, blonde hair and
blue eyes. came down the plank OF
the steamer. This boys name was
Andrew Grey. His mother had died
when he was about nine years of age.
His father was poor artist, and on
this voyage across the ocean he had
died of tuberculosis.
AS soon as he landed, he decided to
wax down the street. He had not
gone far when he saw a sign Fur
nished Rooms 20 Let Andrew rang
the bell and a woman about forty
five years of age came to the door
and asked what he wanted.
He told the landlady that he
wanted a room, so she asked him up
and she showed him an unclean room
about six by ten feet. 1t was large
enough for a cot and a chair. She
asked S125 for the room.
Andrew paid in advance and left
his Valise in his room and walked out
into the street. He bought a paper
and looked in the Help Wanted.
He saw near the bottom of the page
artists wanted to enter a picture con-
test. Andrew. who was quite an
artist, thought he would try his luck
He walked along and soon came to
an artists house. He rang the bell
and a negro butler answered. The
butler asked for his card, but instead
he laid the advertisement on the
tray Andrew was asked up and the

WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER s5. 1914.


Good and evil balance in the scales
today. according to the reading OF
the stars. While Mercury is in a place
strongly beneflc in its influence, Mars
rules stubbornly for evil. Neptune is
slightly adverse and Jupiter rather
favorable.
Editors, publishers and advertisers
should benefit while the contiguration
lasts. The signs indicate a revival of
interest in books and a change IN
methods of obtaining publicity
Writers should derive aid While this
sway continues. Again the rise of a
new poet is prognosticated, and the
beginning of q great epoch in Ameri-
can letters.
Young persons are believed to be
especially fortunate when Mercury
rules. Astrologers declare that the
future will give them greater op-
portunities than have been enjoyed
by any generation. The year in the
colleges will be most extraordinary
in good influences, it is prognosti-
Gated.
This should be a fortunate day for
the presentation of any musical or
artistic entertainment. The planetary
