Good In Reading.

An antagonlstic influence to reading
exists In some quarters In the curious
ly mistaken idea that It hinders the
development of individuality, making
copiers instead Of originators. Any
knowledge Of the history of great men
and women proves the absolute falsity
of this; moreover, the conscious de-
sire to be original which such an
attitude on the part OF grown-ups
leads to In children Is very bad. One
never heard of great men being pre-
occupied with the endeavor to be orig
inal. Observation, again, is increased
rather than the reverse by the habit
OF reading. Those children into whose
lives books other than as enforced
lessons never enter are as rule singu
larry unobservant-proof that the
brain must be behind the eyes In oh
servation, Just as It must be behind
the hand In technical work.

WHEN HEART ACTION STOPS
Not Always Easy to Assign q Reason
for That Particular Form Of
life's Ending.

Departments Of health and medical
statisticians rightly refuse to recog-
nize heart failure as definite cause
Of death for their mortality lists, the
term having come to be ready refuge
for ignorant or indolent physicians
looking for an easy explanation OF an
unexpected death. There seem, how
ever. to be some cases left inswhich the
expression finds proper place and
supplies lacuna In present-day med
ica1 knowledge.
Occasionally there Is apparently no
good reason In the heart condition to
expect that 1t may suddenly cease Its
activity, and yet 1t actually stops. APP
parently the effect of even some slight
irritation becomes so multiplied In
heart tissues as to bring about u
definite disturbance or rhythm, aud
cardiac action ceases for good and all.
Not infrequently such cases come to n
climax shortly after food has been
taken into the stomach: then there
seems TO be some connection between
the gastric condition and the sudden
heart stoppage.
Long ago Or. oliver Wendell Holmes
suggested that the angel of life sets
this living pendulum going and that 1t
goes on and on until the angel of death
breaks into the case and rudely stops
1t. The expression is highly figura-
tive and yet contains in 1t the germ of
the thought that sometimes life's pro
cesscs seem to have approached II
terminus, which they may reach unex-
pectedly as the result of some irritu-
ton that would in itself, presumably,
not be sufficient to produce any such
far-reachlng elfect.--New York Her

.EMPTlED BASKET OF EGGS
Truthful Story Of Rats Strategy Which
Of Course One ls Not Com

My wife the other day bought dozen
eggs--nO that Is not the most improb-

the cellar she was afraid to go down

steps down and there I saw a fine
piece of Strategy mean rategy--as
one could wish.
Three rats In a string, the top one
on the cellar wall the lowest one In
the basket, were passing the eggs from
one to another. I made a little noise
and the rats, pulling themselves up to
the top Of the wall. disappeared.
Eleven Of the IL eggs had been taken
from the basket. There they were all
in row on the top Of the wall.

CONSIDER THE LILIES
BY I. M. BENNINGTON.

The time has come for the annual
shipments Of Japanese and European
lilies to reach America, and some
thought must be given by prospective
producers to the things that must be
done in order to get results from these
pretty and valuable plants.
In the first place, the amateur should
be reminded-it is not necessary to
tell the trained professionalism this
big country has many degrees Of ell
mate. In many sections Of the land
the ground will be frozen before the
bulbs can be received. much less
planted.
A little forehanded precaution Will
serve to avoid the trouble that the cold
brings. Manure, old bagging. or any
other sort Of recognized covering
(which will protect the ground where
the bulbs are to be planted, will act as
"a reception committee and keep the
kround ready to receive the bulbs.
After December 1t is generally Gus.
tomary to defer the planting until
spring, but there are many sections
where such delay is not ut all neces-
sary.
Among the beautiful types that are
listed among the late importations are
the white lily Of Japan, or Lilium
Auratum Vlrginale Album. II has ex-
quisitely pure white flowers, which as
sumo very large proportions and dis
play sulphur-yellow band through
each petal. The Lilium Auratum Wittel
also has immense flowers, and is very
tall and free of bloom. The color Is
creamy white. with a yellow band to
afford relief.
The variety listed for this season Is
SO great that 1t would take wealth
pf detail to tell all about the beautiful
flowers. And while speaking Of lilies,
I am reminded Of the value Of the
Chinese type. From couple Of plain
little cuttings that were picked up In
n dingy little store In New York's
chinatown, a New York woman has q
most attractive house ornament.
The sprouts were simply put In n jar
of water and placed over the mantel
and nature did the rest. The lilies have
sprouted and fiourished indoors with
out the slightest care, save for the oc.
casional renewal Of the water, and
their long, green shoots give a refresh
ing relief to the room where they are
now persistently adding to their beauty

Some OF Rejected Men

New York, Aug. 11.-Ninety per
cent of the men rejected by the mill

of the country. according to DR.. John
III. Quayle of Cleveland, Ohio, author
of the bill introduced in the senate
yesterday by Senator Pomerene look
ing to that contamination. The bill
provides for the appropriation of
500, 0O0, 900 to be used to establish
and maintain reclamation camps
throughout the country as adjuncts to
the regular training camps. DIR.
Quayle said that he expected to re-
turn to Washington tomorrow to con
fer with Secretary Baker.
DIR. Quayle first became interested
in his plan when men who had been
refused for military service we're sent
to him for re-exaination. He said
many OF their defects were OF such a
minor character as to be easily cor
rected and the men thereby reclaimed
for military duty.

TALK in
SOUTH HAND co.
Mitchell Parties Asking Land Owners
TO Contribute $1.50 10 Sd
Per Acre

Interest in a railroad from the south
was revived somewhat a few days ago
by Mitchell men travelling over a
route through Mondamin, Glendale,
Rockdale and Midland townships, and
soliciting aid among farmers of that
locality to build a railroad from Nit
chell to a connection with the North
western road somewhere west of
Miller"
IL is reported that a line has been
run over this route, with stations
selected at G~annvalley, Duncan, on the
Penwell farm in southeastern Glen
dale township, and near the Wangs-
ness farm in Rockdale township.
Land owners within a certain dis
lance OF a station are asked to sign a
pledge TO pay SO for each acre of land
they own, with a guaranteed scale
down to $50 per acre for land farth-
err away
Representatives of this proposed
line call it the Mitchell Northwestern
Railway" and have been in Miller
several times, soliciting some city
land owners to contribute either cash
or 40 acres for a town"
The Lord knows this county needs
railroads, but Hand county people
know that they have been jollled sew
eral times on this railroad building
enterprise, and they have grown
conservative-all of which corrobor-
ates that aged remark about a SUSPECT
Gus man He's been beat sometime
But in the interest of its hoo sub
scribers the Press is willing TO be the
goat. What's the game? Is it a bonus
from Miller? If so, who can guar
antee that the goods will be delivered?
Building a north and south railroad
through Hand county without Miller
helping it some way would be much
like playing Hamlet, with Hamlet left
out.

City Street Work

The best buy the city has made
lately is the little engine for street
grading. 1t is always ready, gets over
two or three times as much ground as
a team, and is altogether an improve
ment oyer old methods. All road men
say that there is a psychological day
following each rain when a dirt road
smoothes of easily. Before this time
it is too muddy; after it the ground
is too hard. Hence, the advantage of
a engine TO get over as much ground
as possible when 1t is just right.
