GOOD EFFECTS OF TROUBLE
Much of the Advancement of the
World May Be Traced to Those
Pugnaciously Inclined.

Most of us love trOuble-that Is,
remain contentedly out of trouble for
any length of time, it seems. And if
you doubt the statement, all you have
to do is to remember the numerous in
stances when you were getting along
all right, and then deliberately ''butted
into" something that was not your af-
fair.
Take the matter of politics, If you
please. Half of the political troubles
we read about are unnecessary. That
is to say, lot of the people mixed up
in politics are so mixed for no pur-
pose in this world save that they may
make trouble for themselves or some
body else. For it really makes little
difference to the average man who is
elected indeed the average man takes
an interest In politics not because he
thinks by doing so he can best serve
the public, but because he wants a
fight.
OF course all of us like to flatter our
selves that we are doing something for
the nation or the country or group
Of people. But the truth is most Of
us are doing nothing of the kind.
But, did you know that most of the
good that has so far resulted to the
world has come from the troublemak-
ers, and not from the peacemakers?-

MORE Merry THAN THE MALE
Writer in Toledo Blade Comes Boldly
Forward With a Tribute to the
Fair Sex.

Tell man that tight belts cause
at once, remarks the Toledo Blade.
Warn him that stiff hats make the hair
fall out and he carries his hat in his
hand until he can find soft one to
put on. This is one of the striking
differences between men and women.
You cannot scare woman with any
such threat. 1t must be centuries since
women were told that stays would be
everlasting ruin to them. But is there
any decrease in the use Of these ar
ticles? None that is indicated by the
windows Of the dry goods stores.
Tight skirts were bound to shorten
their steps permanently. V-necks
would invite ills with the most terrify-
ing names. Fur collars would weak

germs. But what did the women think
of these cautionings? About as much
as you would think Of the hum
ming Of a gnat. They wore the
tight skirts until they were blessed
well ready to abandon them. They
barred their necks to the wintry breezes
as If there were no such thing. You
may be sure that the fur collars will
not come off until they become unfash-
ionable. You may be equally sure
that women will be callous to the ad-
vice of the Cleveland doctor now urg-
ing the discarding of high heels be-
cause they make bow legs.

The Vital Point,

A beautiful young lady interviewed
a fortune teller on the usual subjects.
~"Lady," said the clairvoyant. ''you
will visit foreign lands and the courts
Of kings and queens. You will conquer
all rivals and marry the man of your
choice. He will be tall and dark and

"And young" interrupted the lady.

The beautiful lady grasped the for

me one thing more. How shall l get

Adele la Chesnayne, a belle of New
France. is forced into marriage with
Commissaire Cassion, henchman of
Governor La Barre, who is plotting to
GUST La Sale and his garrison from the
frontier Fort St. Louis. on the Illinois
river. Adele had overheard the plotters
cay she had inherited a great fortune
from her father and they had kept 1t
from her. La Barre and Cassion learned
of the girls knowledge-thus the mar
rtege and the hurried departure of Cas-
sion and company for Fort st. Louis.
The bride refuses to share sleeping
quarters with her husband. She has
but one friend, young Rene d'Artigny,
q guide. He is chary of helping her.
Chevet. the girls uncle. one of the par
IS, is found murdered. A fierce storm
scatters and wrecks the boats. Adele Is
rescued by D'Artigny. They learn they
had thought one another guilty Of
Chevet's murder. Adele loves her res
cuer. They hide from a search party and

'You make it trial, test?"
"Yes-it is a test. But, monsieur,
there is more involved here than mere

the charge of crime, and I must learn
the truth of what caused my mar
riage. Without these facts the future
can hold out no hope for either of US.
And there is only one way in which
this end can be accomplished-a con-
fession by Cassion. He alone knows

there is but one way In which he can

B|G STRIKE ON BOOB GREEK IN
 TOLSTO| CAMP
ENORMOUSLY RICH GROUND RE PORTED IN PRIVATE WIRE
 RECEIVED HERE

That ground of enormous richness has just been struck on Boob creek, in the new Tolstoi camp, is the re port received here in private wire yesterday from Iditarod The wire states nothing more than that the strike has been made, as no details are given. The recipient of the wire said yesterday that he would rather that his name would not be publish ed in connection with the receiving of the good news, but it can herein be positively stated that the infor- nation is entirely authoritative.
 Together with Mastodon creek, Boob creek is one of the streams in the Tolstoi on which pay prospects were reported to have been found last spring. The report caused con siderable of a stampede from Ruby and Iditarod, as well as other places on the lower river, and number of stampeders likewise went from here.
 The first prospectors who went to the new strike reached the Tolstoi camp over the last of the winter snow Thereafter the camp was hard to reach, on account of it's distance from navigation of any kind. And reports sent out from the camp as late as the middle of August were to the effect that all of the prospectors were leaving the place, as there was nothing there.
 The report now received, however. shows that those who stuck with the camp are in the money. And in the report of new pay the history of near ly every mining camp in the north has been repeated For it will be well remembered by all oldtimers now in the Fairbanks district that the first stampeders who came here in the winter of 1902-03 from Dawson re- turned to the Yukon camp with the report that nothing was to be found here. But those who stayed through the next summer uncovered the first of many paystreaks on Cleary creek. thereby making Fairbanks the fair city she is today.

ELWOOD, Nebr., Oct 15.-Ten farmers were instantly killed and eleven badly injured near here today when stock train of the Chicago. Burlington & St. Paul railroad was wrecked. The wreck was caused by the derailing of some of the cars of the train. which was running at high speed.
 The catastrophe was one of the most fearful that the Burlington has ever known. The cars were piled up in heaps. some of them being telescoped. Each was filled to it's capacity with cattle. and several hundred beeves were killed The wreck caught fire. further adding to its terrors.
 The men who were killed were in the caboose of the train. which telescoped and afterward burned. Most of those who were injured sustained their hurts in trying to liberate the men who were in the caboose. Some of them were also injured In attempting to liberate the frightened cattle.

LABOR STRIKES
 IN CANAL ZONE
Associated Press.)

PANAMA. Oct. l5.-A general strike of all labor in the Canal Zone is promised for the near future unless something is done to arbitrate the trouble that is brewing. At least. there is considerable unrest among the working population of the zone Fights have been numerous. but so far there have been no fatalities.
 The strike was started by negro canal workers, who walked out sev- cral days ago. Since that time the spirit of unrest has spread to such an extent that general strike is feared. Five hundred men have al ready struck. and the bakers union is also threatening to strike.
