Set a Mark in Life.

Work for something not for moth
ing. It is not wise to live Just for the
leeting moment or just for today.
Without some aim, ones time and
work go for naught. The years 90 by
and he has nothing to show for them.
If not advancing; we are falling
back. If not keeping alive, growing
to something better and higher, we
are becoming weaker and OF less
worth. Even though we never reach
the goal, we have made some advance
In striving for it. A good aim, real
purpose in life, makes worth OF char
acter. All have not the same tastes.
There is a wide field from which to
choose what one will work for. And
this is well. The one universal aim Is
the same, to live truer, better lives
from day to day. A life without a
purpose is like a ship without a rud-
der. Want Of motive makes life
.dreary and monotonous. Nothing sat
isles. Better little talent and much
purpose than much talent and little
purpose" Aim for something worth
while and keep your mark steadily in
view. Life will mean much more to
you. You will be more useful to the
world, you will find more satisfaction
in living. Milwaukee Journal.

| ing profusely buta physician was OBJ
taiued and stanched the flow OF blood.
They were both put under bonds OF S1o

ence to some incident on the train the
other day going to Sumter, that Mr..
DesChamps replied with show OF heat
and with some more conversation eusu-
ing Mr.. DesChamps told him (Dr. Ad
ans that he was tired OF his "follow-
ing him up" DR.. Adams gave the lie
| 10 this charge whereupou. he said, Mr.
DesChampS reached 10 his pocket, he
supposed for his knife, and he then hit
him. knocking him down. He struck
with his left hand.

stumbled and fell over some chairs and
before he could rise and get back at
him he was caught and held. He said
DR. Adams had been following him
up for several days and he had tried
in every way TO avoid him.

had drawn his knife out when he was
caught by Mr. Cooper and another
man, and that Mr.. Werner had already

The Ticks Tax.

The cattle tick has been in the South
ever since there were cattle for 1t to
feed upon. Il has fattened on the blood
of Southern that shonld have gone to
the making of beef aud milk and IL re-
turn it has killed with splenet!c or tick
fever the animals that fed il. IL has
made our cattle into scrubs and pre-
vented the introduction OF pure-bred
dairy and beef animals, for in a ticky
country no man is willing 10 risk his
money in high-priced stock.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture has estimated the annual
loss 10 the country from the cattle tick
at from s40.000,000 10 Sl,00,0O0,O 600
These figures, however, mean very lit
tie for no mar can calculate the benefit
that will come to the South with the
extinction OF this pest. The essentia!
point is that in tick-infested county
every cattle owner is taxed by the tick
in proportion TO the size OF his herd.
Every animal is levied on, there are no
exceptions. 1t is mistake 10 Imagine
that cattle becomes immune TO the tick.
Every year hundreds of thousands OF
'SOppOSSOIN S%SetS NtS NANH~>
sp!enetic fever for which the tick alone
is responsible: And each of those that
survives suffer in other ways. The tick
feeds on all cattle alihe, immune and
non-immuue. It cuts down the weight
and lowers the quality Of beef animals
and reduces the milk flow OF dairy herds
This tick tax has been collected so
long that the people have grown ac-
cussomed to it. That is q poor reason
for continuing to pay it, however Out
of 72S,543 square miles that were tick
infested in 1906 and placed under fed
eral quarantine on that account, 81,
521, considerably more than one-thlrd,
have since been freed from the pest
and released from quarantine. What
has been done in these areas can be
done wherever and whenever the peo-
pie want it done. There is no more rea,
son why a county should suffer from
the tick than from smallpox. \ little
trouble, a slight investment, will dis
pose of both.

Had Had Enough Of Beans.

Bill Pinkerton of the Chicago detec-
tive force was accosted on State street
by an ex from Joliet, to whom he had
shown some favors in former years.
The ex, being temporarily flush with
money. invited Bill to have lunch with
him at one of the fashionable restau-
rants. -.
The exaoffered the bill Of fare to
Bill, and the waiter, having taken his
order, handed the French menu card
to the ex. He looked at it moment,
puzzled at the strange hieroglyphics,
and then turned to the waiter:
Where are the pork and beans on
this card?"
The waiter indicated the item.
"Well, bring me everything above
and below that Joliet Prison

play to their tiny gallery, setting be-
fore them the image of things as they
are. oh, but We ought always to be

we ought not. Perfect naturalEess IS
