Took Him Literally.

A clergyman In remote part OF
the Scottish Highlands was speaking
at length to his congregation of the
many things round us that are shroud-
ed in mystery and of which we know
little. AS he warmed to his theme, he
became eloquent, and frequently re-
peated the oft-quoted saying of
Goethe: more light! oh. for light :"

the Scottish American, when. after one
OF those utterances, the old beadle,

A Vermont Genius.

New England, if we may accept the
testimony of the Harwick (YermonD
Gazette, will not let itself be outdone
by ancient Greece. Zeuxis, who paint
ed grapes so naturally that the birds
came to peck at them, has his worthy
rival in Timothy Tripe, Bellows Falls
sign painter.
Tripe completed a mail-order course
In sign painting a few days ago. and to
show his skill, and incidentally to get
a little free advertising, he painted a
board fence on the side of barn that
faced on the main street. 1t was a
success artistically, but it got Tripe in
to trouble.
1t looked so natural that several
farmers skinned their knuckles trying
to hitch their teams to it, and num-
berless English sparrows wore them
selves out trying to alight on it. They
would slip down the side of the barn,
hit the ground, assume a worried ex-
preston, and fly away.
The climax came recently. Tripe
has a vicious bulldog, named Francis
Y. Bushman. The dog chased book
agent down the street. The stranger,
in trying to get away, attempted to
jump the fence, and drove his head in
to the barn. He recovered sufficiently
to consult a lawyer and lawsuit may
result.-Youth's Companion.

Plumbers.

Whenever you invite the plumbers
In to spend the week and fix the ldtch-
en- faucet you should plan ahead. Have
everything in readiness.
Plumbers are often a little hurt to
see that there have been no prepare
lions. Plumbers take these things very
keenly.
If pipe Is leaking and you are 60
ing to have the plumbers come, move
everything out Of the kitchen so fey
will have room fer their tools. With
good weather and no mlshaes they
may get all of their tools around the
first day.
Getting all the tools around is a
good days work for two plumbers and
a boy On the second day they exam
Inc the leak and make notes then get
busy planning the weeks work on It.
If the leak is a plain hole then the
thing IS simple and they finish 1t up
In smart shape within the week.
II is best TO send the children TO the
country when the plumbers come. Put
a lid over the goldfish bowl. If you
haven't spare room or a stable you
might arrange to have them board

NOT ALL HEROES AT FRONT
Manus ,Dugqan, Twenty-Year-Old
Irish Lad, Saves 25 Miners, but
Loses His Own Life.

Not all the deeds of bravery are in
the war zone. When fire in the
Spectator mine, near Butte, Mont, en-
tombed several hundred men and
brought death to 145 Others twenty
year-old Irish lad named Manus Dug
gan, known as "nipper boy" or tool
boy, saved % miners by his GOODNESS
and self-sacrifce. But he paid for de-
votion to duty with his life. His body
was taken from the mine five days
later.
When the first flash of flames smoke
and deadly gas cut off all retreat from
the mine, Duggan was caught with a
number of companions in a distant tun-
mel. Reared In the mines at Butte,
he knew every nook and turn in the
underground workings. He guided a
party of miners through the tunnels to
spot comparatively free from gas
and fire. There he constructed tenn
porary bulwark. He had few timbers
at hand, and principally put off the
fires approach by building a wall of
dirt, rocks ana clothing taken from ms
companions and the bodies of those
who already had fallen victims to the
fire. AS fast as one temporary wall
was thus constructed, he fell back with
his charges and built another. He
finally directed the party to point
where their rescue was effected by
miners from above. Whether the boy
turned back to seek others or was
overcome while building his last de-
Tense against the rapidly approaching
flames and gas, no one seems TO know.
But he died at his post and his body
was buried among the victims of the
grim tragedy.
But what he did will never perish
from the memory of % men who owe
their lives to the 'nipper boy" Manus
Duggan.

Governor Cox of Ohio Explains Why

James NJ. Cox, governor of Ohio, told
this story when he visited Fort Ben

News:
II was over at the fort this after
noon, and out at the rifle range Major
barrow asked me If / wouldn't like to
try shooting. The men then were shoot
ing from the 600-yard range. | said
yes, so Major Darrow borrowed a
rifle for me from one of the men and
another for himself, and we lay down
across the sand bags and began pep

AFTER each shot that either of us
made the man down in the pit waved
the red flag that meant we had missed
The target altogether.
FINALLY, after about a half dozen
shots apiece, the major said Young
man, telephone down to that man in
the pit that Major barrow is shooting,
and so the young man did, and then
the major shot again, and the pit man
waved the emblem that signified the
major had hit the bull's-eye.
''Then | said to myself, um hum

How Trenches Are DUG.

Each man in an officers training
camp is given an intrenching shovel,
about the size of big tablespoon, and
a small pick. He is expected TO dig his
trench with those small tools. Each
man must start lying fiat on his
stomach and dig himself into the
ground. In about two hours an entire
system of trenches, beginning with the
skirmishers trench, and ending with
the reserve trench, Is finished, together
with the parapets in front to protect
the men from the front to protect the
men from the enemy's fire, and the
paradoes behind to keep out pieces of
bursting shell. After the men have
dug their trenches down so they are
out of range they sometimes get a
shovel n little larger than their in
trenching tool. That helps consider
ably, for the intrenching tool takes out
about quart of earth with each move
ment. Each man carries his intrench.
ing tools on his back.
