TIE gentlemen who lifted about 90 of his

eration IN leaving him three ROSTERS for

A petition with 40 names OF people OF
Pressure Isle was recently sent TO Sheriff
Elmer G. Bryson for the removal of
Deputy Sheriff o. A. Jacobs of Presque
Isle, but the people afterwards called a
mass meeting. some OF those who had
signed the petition were sorry for it, and
all hands sent in very much larger Pc
tition 10 Sheriff Bryson for the retatr:-
ing OF Mr.. Jacobs in office. We don,
know much about the matter says the
Fort Fairfield Review, but it looks to US
from the road as if all the trouble with
Mr.. Jacobs was that he has been a little
too faithful and efficient an officer to suit
some people.

Short.Siahted Bourbons.

One hundred years ago France was
undergoing many changes, following
the overthrow Of Napoleon and the res
toration of the Bourbons. Many of these
changes were not to the liking of the
people, and the signs of popular dis
content were increasing daily. Partic-
ular offense was given by the rerudia-
tion of Napoleon's famous concordat
with the church, also by the efforts
Of the government to prohibit all buy
ing and selling on religious holidays
and Sundays. Everywhere in France
there were premonitions of that situa-
tion which Napoleon foresaw when he
said: The Bourbons may put France
at peace with Europe, but how will
they put her q. pea ce with them
selves?"

ROB POSTOFFICE AT
HONEA PATH
Professional Cracksmen Visit Up
Country Town

SouNtTy IO"H
Honea Path, April 6.-The post
office was visited here last night by
professional cracksmen and the safe
robbed of about $4,000, of which $75
was in cash and the remainder in
stamps. The fact that the office had
just received new supply of stamps
is the explanation for the loot being
so large.
According to the best calculation
that can be made the robbery occur
red about l 80 o'clock this morning
and there were three in the party, if
not more, and they were travelling by
automobile. The town has had night
watchman on duty for some time, but
last night he was sick and went home
about l o'clock. Previous to his go
ing in he saw an automobile pass
slowly through. the main street, car
rying three men who seemed to be
looking carefully on both sides of the
street. The car entered from the di-
rcction of Donalds and passed up
street in the direction of Bolton. This
was undoubtedly tour of inspection
There were several who heard the
explosion and the automobile as it
passed out of town between l and 2
o'clock. An automobile carrying
three men was also seen to pass
through Belton about 2 o'clock.
The robbers entered the Office by
the front window and knocked the
combination off the safe and with a
monkey wrench which had been pro-
cured from a blacksmith shop here
and which was left in the office. The
safe was covered with an old carpet
which had been taken from the yard
of Pete Smith, where the wrench
was procured. The two laprobcs
were also used which were wet before
the charge was set off. The glass of
the windows and Office fixtures shows
no sign of crack from the impact
of the explosion. A large hole was
blown through the door of the safe
and the cash register was priced
open. 1t was evidently the work OF
professionals and they did an exceed
ingly smooth job.

WON RICHES FROM THE LAND
Story of an Immigrant Family That
Went Farming Forty-slx
Years Ago.

John Austin and his wife. Emma.
46 years ago came to this country
from England with their four sons and
settled on 160-acre farm in the
Rocky mountains. Austin had been q
mill worker and he and his wife
scarcely had money enough to come
to this country and take up the 16O
acres which the government at that
time was willing to give any settler.
OF the subsequent success Of this fam
lily Doctor Winship writes in Farm and
Fireside as follows:
Once established and the market
gardening scheme on It's feet, John d.
vided the 160 acres in halves, kept
80 acres and gave each Of the boys
20 acres. They all worked the whole
of it. but kept the expenses and in
come from each lot distinct.
II know Mark Austin we'll; he is
one of the eminently prosperous men
in Idaho. He furnishes sugar beets
for eight of the large factories along
a line OF 400 miles Of railway, raising
many of the beets and contracting for
the rest. He is a prince among the
business men of Idaho.
"The other three boys, Thomas, VIII
liam and John, are cattle kings in
Colorado. Wyoming and Utah; each is
at the head of live stock company,
two in the sheep business-one had
$4,000 head when l saw him in 1913.
One is president Of the Wool Growers
association OF the intermountain re-
gion.
THE business interests Of those
four mighty men are interlinked,
though financially distinct. They run
their vast business schemes as they
did their 20 acres EACH when they
ran the so acres as though it were
one market garden, but they knew the
profit of each 20 acres, and divided it,
They still keep those eighty acres to-
| gether and apart. Each of those four
men has a family, and each has done
by his sons what the father did for
| him"
