French Repu,se Attacks.
Notwithstanding heavy losses, the

France. they again Sunday made

which tire leash was slipped from the

from the French rifles and machine

close enough for hand-to-hand encoun-

each time were driven back, suffering
enormous casualties. On Y at one

that the Russians will be forced to re-

TO KEEP TREsPAssERS OFF
Now That Bcmb-P Iotters Are Seen
Behind Every Culvert, Railroads
Keep People of Tracks.

Now that guards are everywhere
about and bomb-plotters are seen be-
hind every culvert, some railroads
show signs OF making an effort to keep
the public off their right-of-way. Signs
are being posted in places where the
railroads land has served as q high
way for years, perhaps for genera
tons.
Not i~mprobably the railroads may
soon start q big attempt to exclude
the foot passenger from their tracks.
He has been their bane for ages. He
travels on the line without paying;
indeed, instead of paying. he or his
survivors frequently seek to collect
damages from the railroads for hurts
sustained by falling afoul of the run
ming stock. Nothing would suit the
roads better than TO be delivered of
trespaSsers. Now is obviously i favor
able time to move in the direction of
such L Gesire.
Pryati0n of the freedom Ameri-
cams supposed inalienable right to
much serious damage to anyone. In
many places it might be necessary to
provide short lengths of genuine high
way, so that workers should not find
themselves deprived of an easy route
between home and factory. In addi-
ton to temporary measures, a perma-
nent system for policing roads and
Furnishing trespasserS is required.
Above all there must be q popular
realization of the enormous cost In
life and limb that the reckless habit OF
walking along the railroad track en-
tails upon the country.

MAN IS TAKEN AT OWN VALUE
Humility Is Called a Virtue but 1t
Ceases to Be One II It Is Car
ried Too Far.

Humility is called a virtue. It is so
unless carried too far. A man is us
ually taken at his own value. If he
makes too little of himself, he is like
ly to be thought of little worth. The
unduly humble man will lack the
strength of character needed for sue
cess. He will have little influence In
society and will not be fitted to hold
responsible position.
While too great opinion Of one
self stands in the way Of progress, too
great humility is worse, says the Mil
waukee Journal. Conceit receives
many knocks in life and may be taken
out of a a too much humility sell
dom receives the needed encourage
ment. Conceit in a child is soon cor
rected when he nj to mingling
with other children in schools. Too
great humility gives his schoolmates
q chance to put upon him and treat
him as an inferior-a nance which
will seldom be neglected. A child may
become crippled in spirit for life in
this way. Even teachers sometimes
fail to see what is the trouble with the
child and to give him the encourage
ment he needs. Beware of breaking
down a child's self-confidence. Irrepa-
rable injury may thus be done him.
Train him to feel that he is of value
and is able to do what there is for
him to do. Think well of yourself If
Won would have others think well of
you.

RAILROAD MEN ARE PRAISED
Pick Of Industrial Workers Of Country
Have Developed Natural
Resourcefulness.

You seldom see a sullen face among
railroad men. You seldom meet with
one who thinks confusedly, and never
with one who goes about his work
sleepily. The railroads have had the
pick of industrial workers Of the coun-
try and they have developed natural
resourcefulness into second nature, in
dependence into that fine flower which
understands the worth and necessity
Of obedience, says washington Star.
In sending 10000 railroad men to
France as the first contingent for serv-
ice overseas, Washington will net
merely meet pressing requirement in
France, but also have a representation
warranted to make the impression we
desire to form. In imaginatlln, we can
see those strong, capable, Glean-skin-
ned, clear-eyed men landing, see them
take to their tasks with a vim, max
ing French and English railroad work
ers hump to keep up with them. It
was a wise selection of manhood ma

TO EXHIBIT OLD
Mississippi, One Of First Engines Used
In United States, Was in Serv-
ice So Years.

The locomotive Mississippi, built in
England In 1884 and operated on the
Illinois Central railroad 81 years, has
arrived in Chicago. The little engine,
which is hardly y feet long, was one
of the first used in the United States.
i was bought for service on the old
Natchez and Hamburg road in 1893.
Later it vas turned oyer to the Bal
timOre and Ohio and became part of
that company's exhibit in the st. Louis
fair In 1904.
President Markham of the Illinois
Central heard of the historic engine and
1t was found in the Baltimore and Ohio
yards ut Martinsburg, w. Va. Space
in the Twelfth street station probably
will be fenced off and the locomotive
will be placed there as a permanent
exhibit.

Siios Farm Patriotism.

Only 1000 Of 10000 farms in South
Dakota are equipped with silos, which
means that enough corn fodder in this
state is going to waste every veal to
feed a million and a half more COWS
than we have at present. According
to Prof. G. Larsen Of South Dakota
State college. a half million more cows
would produce a hundred million
pounds more butter. one-half million
more calves and enough skim milk to
feed these calves and a million more
pigs. The extra amount OF butter OBJ
tanned from the wasted fodder through
silos would supply an army OF 400, 600
men for a year. Therefore. "a silo on
every farm should be the slogan OF
every South Dakota farmer as an in.
dication of his patriotism 1.-THE farm.
er who has a silo need never worry
about a late orn CROP says Prof.
Larsen. "for If the season is late or
if the frost comes early. he has plenty
Of good ccrn for the silo. The silo is
the farmers safety valve in crop pro,
duction. 1t certainly is a fact that
orn is considerably behind its nor.
NAL growth this year so that there IL
some danger Of not getting a matured
crop. The use Of silos and silage in
South Dakota is not an experiment,
for they have been thoroughly tested
in all their different phases. There are

are so many from which to choose.
