Way to Overcome Fatigue.

A novel method of relieving fatigue
is being employed by soldiers in the
French army. The men take off their
shoes, i.e On the ground or any fiat
surface anG raise their legs at right
angles to the body against a wall or
other upright support. The toes,
ankles and knees are worked Rest in
this position and the flood of blood
get up is very reviving. The head
should be raised as on a pillow.

T ENROL never missed a murder,
~ a hanging or an electrocution
in the newspapers. He knew
almost as much about Rena
Magsworth as her jurymen did, though
they sat in a courtroom 200 miles
away, and he had it in mind frank
he waste ask Roderick MagswOrth
Bits, Jr, if the murderess happened
to be a relative.
The present encounter, being merely
one Of apathetic greeting, did not af-
ford the opportunity. PenrOd took off
his cap, and Roderick, seated between
his mother and one of his grownup
sisters, nodded sluggishly, but neither
Mrs. Magsworth Bits nor her daugh-
ter acknowledged the salutation of the
boy in the yard. They disapproved of
him as a person Of little consequence,
and that little bad. Snubbed, Penrod
thoughtfully restored his cap to his
head. A boy can be cut as effectually
as a man, and this one was chilled to
a low temperature. He wondered if
they despised him because they had
seen a last fragment of doughnut in
his hand; then he thought that per-
haps it was Duke who had disgraced
him. Duke was certainly no fashion
able looking dog.
The resilient spirits of youth, how
ever, presently revived, and, discover
ing a spider upon one knee and a bee
10 Gil q
rod forgot Mrs. Roderick Magsworth
Bits in the course of some expert
ments infringing upon the domain of
DR.. Carrel Periods efforts, with the
aid of a pin, to effect transference of
living organism were unsuccessful, but
he convinced himself forever that
spider cannot walk with a beetles
legs. Della then enhanced geological
interest by depositing upon the back
porch large rat trap from the cellar,
the prison Of four live rats awaiting
execution.
Penrod at once took possession, retir
ing to the empty stable, where he in
stalled the rats in a small wooden box
with a sheet Of broken window glass,
held down by brickbat, over the top.
Thus the symptoms of their agitation
when the box was shaken or hammer
ed upon could be studied at leisure.
Altogether this Saturday was starting
splendidly.
After a time the students attention
was withdrawn from his specimens by
peculiar smell, which, being follow
ed up by system of selective shifting,
proved to be an emnatiOn leaking into
the stable from the alley. He opened
the back door.
Across the alley was a cottage which
a thrifty neighbor had built on the
rear line Of his lot and rented to ne
groes. and the fact that a negro family
was now in process of moving in
was manifested by the presence of a
thin mule and a ramshackle wagon,
the latter laden with che semblance of
stove and a few other unpretentious
household articles.
A very small darky boy stood near
the mule. In his hand was a rusty
chain, and at the end Of the chain the
delighted Penrod perceived the source
Of the special smell he was tracing-a
large raccoon. Duke, who had shown
not the slightest interest in the rats,
set up a frantic barking and simulated
ravening assault upon the strange
animal. It was only bit of acting,
however, for Duke was an old dog,
had suffered much and desired no un-
necessary sorrow, wherefore he con-
fined his demonstrations to alarums
and excursions an1 presently sat down

LIVES SAVED BY TELEPHONE.
One Man Drank Poison, and Another
Severed Four Arteries.

Within the last several days two lives
have been saved over the telephone.
Rev. !. w. LentZ, OF Orders, Breth-
rem minister, took poison by mistake tor
his medicine. No physician being here,
his family got instruction from distant
physician. AntidoteS were administered
and his life was saved.
William Mlonlch, in Pendleton county
tried TO cut bullet from the breach OF a
gun. The knife slipped and severed four
arteries in his wrist. He was in danger
OF bleeding to death. DR.. Meyers, al
Oak Flat, six miles away, gave inStruc-
tons over the phone. Another life was
saved. Mr.. Mionich is 70 years old.
So daily are valuable lives preserved
and saved by the use OF the Jefferson
County Telephone.

Our Expensive Dogs.

One economic loss usually begets an
other. Narrow, rutty roads make narrow
nItty minds, which perpetuate the mar
row. nutty roads. Poor livestock makes
discouraged farmers. and discouraged iar-
mers do not encourage crops to grow or
communities 10 improve.
There is an old saying that the status
OF farmer may be judged by the number
of dogs he keeps. He may keep one dog
and remain good husbandman. 1t he
has two his standing drops about fltty per
cent. II three ours come TO meet you
when you pass The farmyard gate you are
likely to find the gate of its hinges.
When the canine population OF the farm
exceeds three it is not probable that you
will find the owner at home unless Inc
weather is bad. He will be fishing or
hunting 'coons. This test is not always
reliable, but the percentage ofa'cufacy IS
high.
Alta rough guess seventy-five per cent
OF the dogs of the country are worth no
more than hides would bring on the mar
ket A few we'll bred and well-trained
dogs are useful in handling stock, some
are worth keeping as companions. But
any uncontrolled dog is menace to the
community. He is spreader OF danger
Gus diseases-witness the guarantees
against dogs during the outbreak OF foot
and-mouth disease. The spread OF hog
cholera is frequently attributed 10 some
restless canine. But the most conspicuous
damage done by the SuperfluouS animals
is suffered by the sheepmen. Sections
that were once big mutton and wool pro-
ducers have practically gone out OF the
business-from this one cause alone.

the Middle West are 10 enjoy the maxi

There are enough laws now on the

Not Extraordinary.

The following story is attributed by
Tit Bits to a famous Scots colonel:
A young subaltern OF his own nation
ality was one day on guard with another
officer at Gibraltar, when the latter fell
over the rock and was killed. The sub
altern, however, made no mention OF the
accident in his guard report, but lett the
addendum, nothing extraordinary since
guard mounting" standing without quail
iflcation. Some hours aiterward the
general came to demand explanations.
"You say, sir. in your report, Nothing
extraordinary since guard mounting,
when your fellow officer has fallen down
rocky precipice four hundred feet deep
and has been killed p
"Well, general" replied Lieutenant
Sandy, slowly, 81 dinna think there's any
thing extraordinary in that. If he had
faun doom precipice four hundred feet
deep and not been killed, | should ha
thocht it extraordinary, and put ii doom in
ma reepoon."

Golden Threads,

We were reading not long since OF
person who wondered whether life had
more OF Joy or sorrow, more OF care and
trouble, than OF happiness. So she re-
solved to line the good days with gold
and the bad days with black and at the
end OF the year look them over and see
which had been her lot, more of Joy or
more OF sorrow. She found the good
had far outweighed the evil. We think
all OF us would find the same thing true
of Our own lives. AS rule, we look on
the dark side OF our own life and on the
bright side of other peoples. We envy
the rich their ease, the educated their OPP
portunity, the musician his popularity.
We think the well-dresSed, the well-fed
people must be happy, especially il they
have fine homes we'll furnished. We
forget that there may be skeletons in their
closets which we would dread TO see in
ours. II we could adopt the prayer of
Argus as cur own, "Give US neither pow
erty or riches" perhaps if we were just
in that situation in life, it would satisfy
some ofus, but not all. We are not look
ing for the golden threads running through
our lives. Sickness comes; we see no
golden threads. Death claims our loved
one, still all is dark to US. Adversely
lays its hand upon us and the gold is still
hidden. But there is silver lining to
every cloud, and when once we note the
silver lining the golden thread is again
running familiarly through our life. We
may not see in this world why our lives
have been so full of sorrow; why we
have lost our loved ones or why we have
not prospered, but if we reach the shin
ing shore we shall see as we do not now,
and We shall know why God dealt thus
with us.
