Jump From Moving Locomotive ~
Something That Frank Powell 10
by Mo Means Anxious
to Do Again.

Frank Powell, Pathe director, IS tell
ing of some exciting times that he mas
been having In connection with ms pic-
ture, 'The Taint, which has Just
been finished. He bought a modern
locomotive for the sole purpose OF
turning it into scrap iron before Ms
cameras. Edward Jose, his leadlhs
man, was to make his escape from pur-
suers by confiscating the engine, start
ing it and letting it run wild. Mr.. jose
showed his nerve by asserting to TINS
decidedly ticklish venture, and Mi.
Powell and his camera man shoWeu
theirs by standing on small PLATFORM
only very few feet away from where
the locomotive was to be ditched.
Everything went off smoothly at
| the start Mr. Jose got the engine
| started On its wild career and just De-
| fore it left the rails of the siding
| where the accident was to take place
made the thrilling leap for life. The
number of somersaults he took on the
steep bank would have been marVei
to a circus acrobat When he picked
up his aching body he found that ne
had left a good part of the skin OF MS
| face upon the embankment. In the
meantime MIR. Powell and the camera
man found their platform had been
placed dangerously near the deraiiing
point The engine charged down up
on them like mad bull and landed
beside them in a roar Of escaping
steam and a shower of earth ant
stones. To the 1000 spectators i
looked as though the two men coulf
not escape, so when they emerged
from tho cloud of steam cheer o.
relief went up and everyone pressed
forward to extend their congratula
tions.
| Besides Mr.. Jose the cast includes
the well-known Ruby Hoffman
Creighton Hale and Ben Hendricks

The crowded water front of the old
Canton OF a century ago, with it's
thronging sampans alive from stem
to stern with swarming children, Is
vividly pictured In the Memoirs of
William Hickey" In his account of
the innumerable boats that covered
the river for mile after mile, Mr..
Hickey describes a novel method of
protecting the children Of the floating
city from the dangers Of the water.
Each child wore large vegetable
something like a gourd or pumpkin
fastened to its back The vegetable
was buoyant, Of course, and, II the
infant fell overheard, foated it until
the child was picked up by its par
ents or the occupants Of any other
sampan that happened to be near. This
vegetable life-preserver had the name
and station Of the sampan to which it
belonged cut in Chinese characters
upon 1t, and by that means the rescu-
ers could at once identify the child;
otherwise, in such multitude Of boats
great confusion would have arisen. It
scarcely ever happened that anyone
was drowned.

The CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience Of Motherhood is t:-.J-
ing one to most women and marks o-s
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not oll1
woman in hundred il prepared or M
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at sucn
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled Tor the
trial Of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
Of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results
There is nothing more charming than
q happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
Die time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia e. Pinkhan's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator Of the female organism.

SHRINRRS TO GATHER

Shrlners of Knoxville and upper

ll8th, to attend the annual meeting of
Alhambra Tempt to .he held in the

m. A special train has been chartered
outright for the occasion, no ticket
collector will be allowed on board and
the conductor will have a snap, for the
train VIII Stop anywhere there is a
red fez hung out in the cool December
breeze. 1t now looks as though evtry
new member and every old red top in
| this neck of the woods are going, and
as about one hundred and seventy-five
new members have been gathered in
since last May, it is almost safe to
say there will be from 300 to 500
Mobiles on board. The nlustrious Po-
tentate has announced that there will
be ceremonial session following the
OuoihOoo hSClAh6, 81 everybody might
as well take his red fez to be in har-
mOny with the spirit of the occasion.
Mobiles from up the road should come
down on No. l, for at this time of
the year No. Al is very likely to be
late, and if more than fifteen minutes
late, connection for the special train
would not be made. Other Mobiles
should come in on the early morning
trains. The special will positively
start at 2 p. M. sharn
The running crew on the CINCINNATI
Southern have been given orders to
stop at Hartman Junction if tagged
down with red fez, and the fast

stop to take on the Mobiles from Har-

| cultivating right l do not mean simply
scratching the ground about two inch
es deep and planting the crops year
after year in the same way, but mean
that you should pillow deep, subsoil, get
more humua into the soil, and rotate
your crops. OF course when this is
done as many acres cannot be culti-
waited as when the surface of the
ground is only scratched over. Vol
umes have been written on soil build
ing and soil conservation, and volumes
are yet to be written, but in my opin-
ion the simple secret to this end is
deep blowing, subsoiling, turning un-
der green crops to increase the supply
of humus in the soil and crop rOta-
ton. Live stock farming is another
of the means to this end.
How many farmers can tell now
where the losses and profits occurred
in the past years work? OF the few
that can I will venture to say that 80
per cent of them kept some form of
record of their work. A simple set of
books may be kept. Keep a record of
same and the cost of planting it. Then
keep record of when it was harvest
ed, the cost of harvesting and the val
ue of the crop when sold. The same
record should be kept of each animal
on the farm. 1t would be profitable to
keep record of the amount of milk
and butter from each COW, the cost of
feeding this COW, etc.
If the farmer will keep records as
the business men in other lines do, he
will be able to answer this question at
the end of the year without guessing:
has been my profit and my
loss in the past years work?

STATEMENT BY COUNSEL

brought to recover an alleged shortage
OF more than 1000 from State Senator
J. Parks Worley, which amount the
senator is said to have failed to &C
count for while he was state revenue
agent in East Tennessee, states that
Mr.. Worley's interview relative to the
continuance of the cause, was mislead-
ing. AS matter of fact" said Mr..
Burrow. this suit could not have
come to trial at this time, and no affi-
davit was made on the part of the
counsel to secure continuance. I'm
doubtedly the state will be ready to
have the case heard earlier than next
May, and see no reason why it should
not be heard at special term of the
chancerv court within the next sixty
days. We are as anxious to dispose
of this litigation as is Mr.. Worley, and
so far as | am concerned, can see no
motive for delay beyond what is alb
