Study The Evidence.


"rhe American people must &C
quire the habit OF looking into the
evidence" said President Arthur L.
HadleY OF Yale In his natriculatiou
sermon at Woolsey hall.
1--WE must stop buying the news
paper that tells what we wish was
true and buy the one that tells what
really is. We must refuse to repeat
improved gossip or scandal because
we like ii. This will soon grow into
the habit Of not liking IL. We shall
learn to hate'the unconscious lie az
; we'll as The Intentional one. There
may sometimes be question wheth, r
we should tell the truth To others
who cannot see 1t or understand III;
there should be no question at all
that we should tell IL To ourselves.
And when a man has learned To tell
the truth To himself the problem Of
telling IL TO others becomes com
paratively easy. The whole fabric of
AmerlcanNs society rests on the assump'
tion that we are going to be honest
in our dealings"

THE TAX BUDGET.
fRltzyille Journal-Tlmes }

For the past month and half the

tn, districts have been wrestling with

osorts are now seen in the budgets
which have been finally determined

that Is observed 10 this connection is
that as the system of governmental

much better understanding of Whele

THE MAN IN THE BOX.
He Startled but Did Not Unnerve the
Express Car Messenger.

He Startled but Did Not Unnerve the
Express Car Messenger.
The messenger was alone in the ex.
press car, and the train was making
fast time about 200 miles outside of
San Francisco. At the last stop the
messenger had been very sorry to
see an ordinary rough box loaded from
the truck. The experience was COM
mon enough, but it always depressed
him little.
Having set things to rights, he sat
down near his little writing desk and
dropped into doze. A sudden lurch
or the train reused him, and, as he
stretched himself awake, what was his
CONSERVATION at seeing that the lid of
the rough box was lifted about three
inches!
Express messengers live in daily ex-
pectation Of train robbers, and the
thought flashed through his mind in
the twinkling of an eye that one of
those gentry was in the box.
AS he got up from his chair he was
relieved to see the lid quietly drop into
its place. However, he knew that the
bandit was no doubt watching his
every movement from a hole bored in
the side of the box and that what he
did he must do cautiously.
Moving out of the hidden mans range
of vision, he got his hands on a few
nails and a hammer. Then he slowly
worked his way through the lofty pile
Of packages, which he pretended to be
rearranging, suddenly threw heavy
trunk on the lid of the rough box
jumped astride 1t and nailed down the
lid securely. The imprisoned robbel
roared and struggled, but to no avail.
The messenger rushed to the rear ol
his car and looked back through tht
coaches. He could see the mans con
federates "going through the pas
| sengers, who held their hands alof
while member of the gang covered
them. The express car carried a valu
able shipment and the messenger de
termined to save it.
Grasping the lever that operated tn
automatic coupler, he put every ounc
of strength he possessed into one tel
rife jerk. The drawheads parted, an
a gap almost instantly opened betwee
the express car and the coaches. Rur
ming back through his car, barring th
door as he went. the messenger react
ed the front door and shouted to th
engineer to open his throttle. The ell
gine and the express car leaped TO
ward, but not minute too soon.
The bandits. emerging from til
coaches, were insane with rage whe
they saw themselves foiled and pou

Deafness is the result. and unless the in
