Astounding Memories.

Horace Vernet is the best example
of visual memory. He could paint a
striking portrait of "A a life size,
after having once looked at his model.
Mozart had a great musical memory.
Having heard twice the "Miserere" in
the Sistine chapel, he wrote down he
full score of it. There are soloists
who during twenty-four hours can play
the composition of other masters with

HIS FRIEND THE RAT.
The Mine Disaster Story That Went
With a Stuffed Rodent.

80 AHAtAAS
With a Stuffed Rodent.
Any man who will keep a stuffed rat
in his room wherever be goes must
have a story to tell about the rat. This
man has.
This story he said, concerns an
experience that made my hair curl. 1
am an engineer. I was once retained
TO report upon the working of a mine
in southern Arizona. The mine was
called the Barbara. On an adjoining
claim was another mine called the Hy-
perion. A dispute arose. The Hype-
rion people claimed that the lower lev
els of the Barbara had been bored into
their ground and half a dozen fortunes
Ia ore taken out of their mine.
1.-THE first thing to do was to make a
survey of the Barbara. The Barbara
people, Of course, objected. Finally,
an order for the survey was secured
from the court, and l was sent, with
a man named Jim Banks, to make the
survey.
'"There are tricks in all trades, and
the Barbara representative knew a few
In his. When we reached the mine he
said that the tunnel we wished to ex-
plore was in a dangerous condition.
There had been u caye-in. the timbers
were rotted, and SO on.
I'VE classed him as a liar, though
he turned out to be right. We worked
our way into the tunnel until we ran
against a jam of fallen timbers. The
timbers, however, were sound and had
plainly been arranged to stop our prog
ress. Banks went back for an ak,
while 1 worked at the roof with a pick
to dlslodge the center pieces.
81 succeeded and had climbed half
way over into the other side Of the
tunnel when there came a terrific
crash of loose ore ..,:om the roof. 1t
fell on both sides of the timbers, PIN
ming me in a hole which would have
been a grave but for a few sticks which
held the mass of ore above.
1.-The place was barely large enough
to move in, and I knew it was certain
death in a few hours unless Banks
could dig me out.
THE foul air was getting into my
brain, and l think / was actually in
sane with the fearful dread of being
buried alive.
81 had given up all hope and was al
most swooning when 1 heard a strange,
scraping sound above me. | yelled,
but received no answer. With new en-
ergy I threw my body against the
walls and tried to pick out the ore
from between the lodged timbers. Still
came the queer scraping noise. which
seemed to come nearer and sounded
not unlike the steady grinding OF a
saw. 1t seemed to last for hours,
though it could hardly have been a
minute after when a bit of earth drop
ped to my feet from the upper end Of
the wall, and along with it came 2 big
gray mine rat.
THAT rat saved my life, for he left
a clear hole for his trail. and through
it came a breath of fresh air that gave
life to me. The fellow had bored his
way through from the shaft side OF
the cave. l stayed there two hours
after that, until Banks found the cave,
got help and dug me out without
breaking the airhole.
II caught the gray rat too. l kept
him fed up Ike a king until be died,
and l wouldn't take a lot Of money for
his skin now."-New York Times.

terest He believes that every little thing he
does to help make life easier for his nelghbor is
an eXemplification of patriotism. He believes
that the time he gives to the interests of the
whole city, for the benefit of the whole county,
given to the nation to patriotic service, to the
advancement of the whole country.
The real patriot is the man who has the con-
vction that selfish interest that does not include
the whole community is treason, and that pa
triotism must be broad enough to offer encour-
agement to all citizens in promoting matters of
general interest.
The Forthcoming Fourth of July celebration
in which the whole country is planning to COM
memorate the constructionof Old Trails and the
National Highway gives every patriotic citizen
an opportunity to show his love for the country.
No selfish motive ought hamper the work of
creating sentiment that will ask the government
to perpetuate the Old National road as highway
worthy of the part it played in the development
of the West and of the nation
Patriotism cings to this old road. Over it
came that large army of pioneers that endured
hardship and risked danger to make possible the
flourishing rural sections and prosperous cities
that are found along it's course. A real patriot
will gladly give his time and efforts for ceebra-
ton that will recall the sentiments clinging to
this highway Wayne county's patriots cannot
disregard the call of patriotism that has been
sounded in this connection. Let the sons of the
pioneers remember the patriotism of their faith
ers and demonstrate it in worthy Fourth of
July celebration.
