To Know How To Be Ready

To know how to be ready is a great
thing. 1t is a precious faculty that
implies forethought, grasp, and deci-
sion. To attain 1t, one must know
how to sever, for one cannot untangle
everything; one must know how to
divide the essential from the mifiutiae
that envelop it; in one word, one
must know how to simplify ones du-
ties, ones business, ones life

Sufferers throughout the world are
gaining relief from therapeutic expe-
riences by the doctors in the hospitals
of the war zone who are continually
devising new mean to reduce the
pain of the wounded soldiers. At a
large hospital it was found that the
quantity of opiate given some of the
men who were suffering from severe
wounds, seriously retarded their re-
covery. As an experiment, several
were suspended in tubs through which
water at a temperature of 100 degrees
Fahrenheit was kept running. One
man who had been in such pain from
a lacerated thigh that it was feared he
would go insane, was laid upon a rub
Der mattress in a bath. His pain en-
tirely subsidized and more rapid prog
ress in healing, was made than in any
similar wound upon record.

Depredations of predatory animals
accompanied by outbreaks of rabies
among them in parts of Oregon, Cali
fornia, Nevada, Idaho and Utah result
ed in the shooting, trapping and pois-
oning of over 11,000 coyotes during
the last fiscal year by hunters in the
employ of the biological survey of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Altogether over $4,000 noxious
animals, including wolves, coyotes,
mountain lions and bobcats, were de-
stroyed, says New York Telegram.
The seriousness of the outbreaks of
rabies will be realized when it is stated
that more than sixty persons were
treated by state authorities of Nevada
during the year on account of having
been bitten by either wild or domestic
animals. The loss of live stock has
been very heavy. At Winnemucca,
Nevada, a single rabid coyote caused
the loss Of 81 steers.

MAKING A

There is no ease for the successful
business man. You may think the
boss has it soft because he takes
down large profits. Look closer and
you will see that he is the hardest
worked man in the place. He deserves
the big reward. At least he works for
it. He is the handspring of the organ
ization. The manager and the super
intendent are important cogs in the
machine, 1t is true, but they are only
cogs after all. The decision and the
responsibility rest with the master,
says Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. If one
of the hands f1unks he can be replaced.
If the master neglects the business he
loses it. The most faithful and eff
cient employee cannot conduct anoth-
er's business like the owner can.
Whether it be a barber shop or a man.
ufactory, it needs attention by the pro-
prietor. If he seeks repose instead of
work he is lost, so far as mastership is
concerned. You can't make progress
without effort, and, having got in the
front rank, you cannot stay there I'M
less you make greater effort. The
..'softer" your position is, the harder
will be your fall if you don't attend to
the duties. Better be a good journey
man all your life than one who has
tasted the sweets of advanced station
faithful enough to yourself to remain
ahead.

Larue County, Kentucky, is the

corning the new National Army. Its
quota was 1872, and the first 1872 drawn,
commencing with No. 458 have been
