PUT FAITH IN STALE BEER
Old Soldier Had His Own Ideas About
Best Way to Keep In Good
Physical Condition.

Sir Robert BadenPowell's book,
Indian Memories" teens with good
stories of his early soldering days in
India. Some of the best stories he
tells, however, are those concerning
Sir Baker Russell, who was a major
in the Thirteenth Hussars soon after
the hero of Mafeking Joined, and later
became colonel.
Sir Baker, who made q great name
for himself as a soldier, was "the
beau ideal of fighting leader" He
was beloved Of the men, who nick
named him Bakers Dozen,' mainly
on account of his unorthodox methods.
"On one OCCASION" says Sir Robert,
"the colonel had to lecture one of his
men for some minor misbehavior. The
man was splendid type of old SOL
dicr, wonderful boxer, swordsman,
rider, and marksman, but he was very
fond of his mug of ale. When he
was brought up for having had a drop
too much the colonel remarked to
him:
"'My good man, only wish l could
drink as much as you do and keep as
good nerve. Tell me how you man.

was to fill hand basin with beer

THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1910.

All of us, down in our hearts, have
an enduring admiration for the man
Of few words. In some ways, perhaps
justly, perhaps unjustly, we have
come to associate taciturnity with
strength of character. The still
mouth and true hand' which, the old
German saw has it, "go through the
whole land" have been linked in
many song and many story, in
many an episode of life. Brief and
pithy sayings almost always bear
great weight and, conversely, action
without much speech takes on for us
an added value. The man whom one
thinks Of as man of action is seldom
considered in connection with facili-
ty Of speech. How much of this
theory is true and how much is mere
moonshine is too elusive subject
to be tackled seriously. Possibly the
reason that the human mind conjoins
paucity of speech with an abundance
of action lies in the very overwhelm-
ing reality of action, as opposed to
mere words. Words generally can
have no bearing, save as they are
translated, directly or indirectly, into
action. Hence, when the deed is done,
the saying passes from the memory of
witnesses; the contrast of bulking act
and nebulous speech is too plain to
permit of much attention for the lat
ter.

Air Gains the Wave.

Compressed air is said to be more
effective in subduing rough waters
than oil, which has been used for that
purpose for centuries. 1t has been
found that compressed air conveyed
from tanks to the bottom of the ocean
at a pier is a tremendous advantage
in the landing of a vessel in stormy
weather. 1t is predicted that the com
pressed air apparatus will be installed
at all well-equipped docks in a short
time, and that the air will be used
along sections of the coast which are
subject to serious damage by storms.
Several large vessels have been
equipped with compassionate appa-
ratus.

A DOGS LIFE.

My dog lies by the open fire,
He is kindly soul;
He never seems to worry none
About who buys the coal.
He runs around the fields all day,
For he has great endurance;
His mind is never tired out
With taxes and insurance.
And as he wanders to and fro,
Upon some pleasure bent,
He never wonders, never thinks
On who will pay the rent.
He goes to sleep whene'er he wants
And lies where'er he wills,
And never scratches up cent
For meat or DOCTORS bills.
And now and then he kills skunk,
A mouse, or else rat,
Nor wonders where the money is
To buy his wife hat.
When to the future land / go
Il speak with breath abated),
I'm going to ask to be dog
If I'm re-incarnated.

City Boys Versus Country Lads.

Speaking of the curious fact that
city boys seem to have greater physi-
cal stamina than country boys, there is
also the Civil war tradition that it was
the city boys who stood the privations,
long marches and other physical
strains better than the country boys.
What makes the country boy outstrip
his city competitor must be his ambi-
tion to win the prizes of city life which
dangle 80 alluringly before his eyes,
whereas to the familiar vision of the
city boy they appear as mere matters
of course, hardly worth having and
certainly not worth exceeding strife
and self flce.-Indianapolis Star,

Get into the Boosting Business.

Do you know there's lots of people
Sitting round most every town,
Growing like broody chicken,
Knocking everv good thing down.
Don't be that kind of cattle,
Cause they amt no use on earth,
But just be Booster rooster,
Crow and boost for all you're worth.
If your town needs boostin' boost her
Don't look back and wait to see
If some other fellows willin'
Sail right in, this country's free.
No ones got a mortgage on it,
It's just yours as much as his;
If your town is shy of boosters,
You get in the boostin' biz.
If things don't seem to suit you
An the world seems kinder wrong
What's the matter with boostin'
Just to help the thing along?
Cause if things should stop again,
We'd be IN sorry plight,
You just keep the horn a-blowing!
Boost her up with all your might
If you see some fellow tryin'
For to make some project 90,
An you can boost it up tritie,
That's your cue to let him know
That you're not going to kuock it,
Just because it amt your shout
But that you're going to boost little
Cause he got the best thing out.

SOME OBSERVATIONS
Concerning Nothing Very Serious
But Worthy of Thought.

Those lamp posts in the Hood
Park don't seem to shed very much
light on the Park since the new
| Fand larger lamps were put in and
the fuze put out. Those new 300
candle power lamps look very good
stored away in the Council room.
Why not pull up the posts and sell
the whole lot for junk?
How long will the village con-
tinue to rent the Way property for
the paltry sum of 500 per year.
How many property owners in this
town will lease property of equal
value for similar sum? What is
the use of keeping such property
if it is neither useful, ornamental
nor profitable?
