SWAT THE FANATICS.

When a man in training goes
stale. the understanding is tina, his
spirit has gone wrong; he has become
irritable; his poise has been lost; he
is unreasonable; his ner7es no longer
co. ordinate with his muscles and he
becomes ineffective because his con-
fidencc has been weakened.
All this happens when his physical
strength may have been developed to
it's utmost powers. The purpose OF
the trainer Is to send his man to the
contest mentally. as we'll as ply sically
fit and that is why everything Is done
to keep his temperament right.
Our soldiers who have gone TO figh'
for our liberties must not go stale
and for that reason We again register
our strong disapproval of the campaign
of the fanatics who are trying to stol
the gifts Of tobacco and cigarettes T.
our soldiers. We have little patienc,
with these people. The man who stay
at home and would deprive a soldiers II
| the trenches. of the sol;.cc of Il cigar
cite is, to our mind, 4 pretty small
| shrimp. One does not have to read
| just ones conscience to disapprove q
cigarettes for boys. The time ma
come when the use Of tobacco wi
disappear as the custom Of hcaS
drinking has disappeared. This, how
ever, Is no time for so-called re
formers to devote their energies to
movement that will result in ser
ously retarding the efficiency Of OF

Is the way Kerensky sums up his own

January preceding his death in April:
Il am dying. my friend, dying as by
slow fire. When ! am gone they win
know what the value of me was. The
mseries ! have held back will burst
from all Sires on France" How true
his prediction was is best indicated
by the rapid succession of events that
led Louis and Marie to their own end
and started France on twenty years OF
war.
The three or four months before
NirabeauS death were the busiest OF
his struggling career. He presided in
the national assembly when on the
point of fainting and in one day made
five addresses. AftcrWard he had to

Several times recently We have had
dispatches from Petrograd telling OF
the exhaustion that besets kerensky

Yet ne has kept bravely on, organized
an offensive. put down a half dozen
/ incipient revolts, kept the soldiers and
! workmen's delegates in leash and
! steadily rocked the cradle of Russian
liberty. How long can he last? That
! is the question kerensky is trying tc
! decide for himself.
When Mirabeau came down with hi:
final illness, which endured but a few
days, the whole of Paris laid aside II:
many occupations to watch the strug'
gle between its great man and death
The king sent to inquire every few
hours how he Jared, crowds filled thu
streets about his home and waited TO-

at five o'clock in the morning. Mr.
Austin lost his arm when q lad OF
sixteen while at work in a sash and
blind factory in Augusta. AS he was
attached the water wheel his foot
slipped and as he put out his hand TO
save himself the whirling shaft caught
the sleeve of his frock and In an In
slant had wound the arm to the
shaft and the lad was whirled round
and round until the arm was literally
thrown thirty feet onto a pile OF rocks
where he had three ribs fractured and
sustained many minor injuries In
whirling around the shaft his feet
struck brace, tearing both boots
from his feet and fracturing an ankle.
But Notwithstanding all these injuries
young Austin came along all right and
has proved out a tough and rugged
man.
Only a short time after this accident
to Austin girl who had gone to the
mill to carry to her father his dinner
came in contact with pulley on this
same shaft and the belt catching her
dress dragged her thru an aperture In
a board partition only large enough
for an eight inch helt to run instantly
killing and beating her to a pulp.

A Veteran Stage Driver

years, with but few off of service as
stage driver on star route. Mr..
Austin is now nearly seventy years
old and still we'll and rugged
lie has been somewhat handicapped
thru life in that he has but one arm
and when we take into consideration
the work required of a mail carrier
in handling the team and delivering
the mail into boxes along the route
we will understand that Mr.. Austin
must have been man of ability and
tough old New England stock to with
stand the rough work on the line in
the storms and the mud and in all
kinds of weather and much of it at
night lie must needs be an early
riser as the mail starts from Larone
