WHO BIDEs HIS TIME.

BY JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY.
copyright 1857, 1898, by James Whitcomt
Rieyl
WHO bides his time and day by day
w Faces defeat full patiently,
And lifts mirthful roundelay,
However poor his fortunes be,
He will not fail in any qualm
OF poverty-the paltry dime
il will grow golden in his palm,
Who bides his time.
WHO bides his time-he tastes the sweet
w OF honey in the safest tear;
And though he fares with slowest feet
Joy runs TO meet him, drawing near.
The birds are heralds Of his cause,
And, like a never ending rime,
The roadsides bloom In his applause,
Who bides his time.
WHO bides his time and fevers not
w In the hot race that none achieves
Shall wear cool wreathen laurel wrought
with crimson berries in the leaves;
And he shall reign goodly king
And sway his hand DER every cline
With peace writ on his signet ring,
Who bides his time.

Eleetrieity and Coal Waste.

From coal we chiefly draw the suns
stored energy. which is required to
meet our Industrial and commercial
needs. According to statistical records.
the output in the United States during
an average year is 4S0,0O0,000 tons. In
perfect engines this fuel would be suf.
ficient to develop JOO,OO0.O 900 horsepow
er steadily for one year, but the squan-
dering is so reckless that we do not get
more than per cent of its heating
value on the average. A comprehen.
sive electrical plan for mining, trans
porting and using coal could much re-
duce this appalling waste. What is
more, inferior grades, billions of tons
of which are being thrown away, might
be turned to profitable use.-Nikola
Tesla in Golfers Weekly.

SAVED BY A CAMERA MAN.
How He Won Lease of Life For Some
of Villas Victims.

VI FHia NIStiHbS'
During one of his earlier campaigns
/ Francisco Villa had an American
movie photographer Burrud by name,
attached to his staff, who spent a
good deal of his time taking pictures
Of the excessively vain general him
self. Sometimes, however, Burrud was
called upon to undertake more siren
uous operations. The following story,
for instance, is told in Francis A. Col
Inns The Camera Man"
"Burrud was called outdoors unex-
pectedly at sunrise one morning and
directed to report, with his camera, at
once to headquarters. When he arriv-
ed, coatless and breakfastless, before
Villas tent he was told that the gen
eral had decided to have some twenty
prisoners shot and wanted a moving
picture taken of the execution. The
prisoners, most Of them political mere
ly, were to be butchered to make a
moving picture scene.
"Burrud feigned to examine his cam
era closely and then explained to the
general that his films were bad and
that it would be impossible to take the
picture until new supply had arrived.
Villa was disguised to miss the enter
tainment, but the camera man insisted
that there was no use in making the
exposure, and the picture and the ex-
ecution were put off several days.
by the time the next supply of films
arrived the general hid fortunately
changed his mind and the men were
saved"

Youth and Old Aoe

L have a theory that old age is in
better touch with youth than middle
age. The grandsires and grandams
of all time are evidence. Through
beautiful foresight of nature the old
folk are living their young days over
again In memory, and yet have lived
long enough to see that If youth is full
of joyance and age of care, the care
is matter of no great account, while
the joyance was the rich reward of
life.-Robert NJ. Gay, in the Atlantic.

AS had been expected the game with
Burlington High school Friday night
was one OF the fastest and most hotly
contested of the season, although p. A.
succeeded in putting it over the fast
quintet of the Queen City for the second
time this year. The score at the end OF
the first half was 25 to IL in favor of P.
A. and at no time did the visitors get
nearer the locals than AZ to %, which
was the final result.
Every man on the local team played a
winning game from the first toss of the
ball and the two guards, Ward and
Bourne, had McCuen and Blodgett on
the defensive from the first, Bourne put
ting up one of the fastest exhibitions
ever seen in the home gymnasium in his
position. Cram was a veritable wizard
with the sphere, which he Gagged for 10
baskets from the floor, while "Charlie"
Silloway as usual played a whirlwind
game, getting seven and two from the
foul line. Newton played a steady game
at center, getting the jump on Brenon,
who played his usual star game. Capt.
Ward did some clever work in marshal
ing his forces and some of his long passes
and left-handed maneuvers were puz-
zlers for the opposition.
The visitors were a clean, fast bunch of
players and put up strong bid for the
game, but P. A. evidently has the best all

lieved Cram the last two minutes of play
