Law of the Family.

No man lives for himself alone.
Whether we will or not, we are de-
pendent on the exertions of others and
others are affected by our good or
evil acts, says Paris T. Farwell in the
Congregationalist. We belong to
family, a town, a state, a nation, to the
great family of mankind. Absolute
liberty is not possible even for the
members of family except as the lib
erty is guided by good will. If in
home each member considered himself
alone, disregarding the wishes and
welfare of others, the result would be
destruction. That is the best society
in which the law of the family is ap-
piled on the largest scale. The Golden
Rule is the only law by which ideal So
ciety can be obtained. "We are men,
bers one of another"

DANIEL BooNE'S LONG SWING
Pursued by Indians, He Cut Grapevine
Near Ground and Sailed Far
Enough to Break Track.

Do you remember reading in one
of the school histories about how the
doughty Daniel Boone, when pursued
by Indians on his way to the unknown
wilderness of Kentucky, cut a grape
vine near the ground so that it formed
a swing upon which he Travelled
through the air far enough to break
his track? If you read it, you prob
ably thought it u bit fishy, writes
Niksah. Unless you live somewhere
in the Allegheny mountains you would
not believe that wild grapevines are
long enough or strong enough or hold
onto the trees tight enough to make
much of a swung.
AS q matter of fact, there is no rea-
son to doubt that Daniel made the
swing and got away from the Indians.
For in the mountains of western Mary
land and eastern West Virginia, across
which Daniel took his hazardous way,
the boys are still making such swings
just for fun. And royal fun it is. The
writer was driving through the noun
tains near the upper Potomac when he
saw some enormous grapevines drOOp-
ing 60 or 20 feet from the tops of the
trees. They had been cut close to
the ground, and the hillside above
them was all plOwed up by the feet of
youngsters.
The temptation to try the Daniel
Boone stunt was as irresistible. 1t was
quickly proved that by taking a run
ming start down the hill one could
swing a most amazing and breath-tak-
ing distance right out over the creek
Swings made with ropes were tame by
comparison. But there was no tempta
tiOn to emulate Daniel by letting loose
at the end of the swing. 1t tool
pioneering nerve to do that.

STORY MADE EMERSON LAUGH
Recalled Incident of Young Man Send.
ing Letter Intended for His WASH
erwoman to His Sweetheart.

Young COnwell was sent by Horace
Greeley to interview Ralph Waldo EN-
ersOn for the New York Tribune. He
was pleasantly received by Emerson
in his home in Concord, surrounded
by his family, recites the Kansas City
Star. In the course of the conversa-
tiOn he asked Mr.. Emerson what he
laughed at. In all the writing of the
Concord philosopher there is not
joke nor even a trace of humor.
Emerson replied that he never
laughed.
"Oh, yes, you do, father" cried the
family. "We hear you laughing in the
garden"
"Well," Emerson said, II do some
times laugh at something read when
a boy, but it is foolish and not worth
putting in q paper"
Mr.. COnwell said that was just what
he wanted.
Emerson then told about an agitated
young man who wrote two letters, one
to his washerwOman and one to his
lady love. He mixed them up, and the
latter was very much astonished to re-
ceive this letter:
"If you muss up the bosom of my
best shirt again 1 will have nothing
whatever to do with you"

CATS WILL GUARD CHICKENS
While Watching for Rats, They Fright
en- Away Hawks-Are Broken From
Killing Little Ones.

Did you know that cats are a valu-
able asset to the pOultryman? You
might believe that they were anything
but invaluable because of their innate
love for fresh meats. But sweeter than
baby chicks to the palate of the cat are
the smooth-cOated, l0ng-tailed crea-
lures of the rat family. And rats prey
upon chickens, asserts the Poultryman
During the course of a year there is
more loss in the poultry world from
the ravages of rats than from cats or
hawks, or even disease. A cat in the
chicken yard, if trained to properly
value the life of the chickens, will ter
rOriZe and destroy the rats and will
ward off the enemy hawks and so prove
himself or herself of great worth.
Cats have proved their worth as
chicken yard sentinels, and there have
been many and various methods en-
plOyed by their owners to break them
from killing the chickens. One we'll
known method is that of tying a dead
chicken about a cats neck and making
him tug around the heavy dead body
for from one to two days. In the mean
time the cat will supposedly grow to
have great dread and horror of a
dead chicken.

ANIMAL HABITS NOT CHANGED
Sheep Run to the Hills, Hogs Grunt as
a Signal, Dogs Fashion
Their Own Bed.

Sheep, when frightened, always run
to an elevation, because their ances-
tors originally came from the noun
tains. They always follow a leader,
because in the dangerous mountain
passes their ancestors had to 90 in
single file. Hogs grunt because their
feeding grounds were thick woods,
where they could not see one another,
and sound was necessary to keep them
together.
Dogs have way of turning around
several times before they lie down.
This looks very foolish now, but when
they were wild things centuries ago,
they slept in the tall grass and turned
around several times to hollow out a
bed, and they have never outgrown
this habit, but to this late day they
will turn around on a rug Just as If
they were In the tall grass.
Cats have, perhaps, the most traces
of old ancestral habits. Many times
they do have a trace of the lion or
tiger very near the surface. Their un-
certain temper, their purring and grow
ling, their sudden bounds, their ten
dency to scratch, all come from the
forest and the jungle.-Indianapo

Parliamentary Privilege.

Parliamentary privilege means the
almost complete freedom from arrest
that is accorded members of parlia-
mentary bodies. The Constitution of
the United States says that senators
and representatives ''shall in all cases,
except treason, felony and breach of
the peace, be privileged from arrest
during their attendance at the session
of their respective houses, and in 60
ing to and returning from the same;
and for any speech or debate in either
house, they shall not be questioned in
any other place." Similar provisions
appear in the constitutions of most of
the states. The constitution of In
diana makes the provision broader.
1t says: Senators and representa-
tives, in all cases except treason,
felony and breach of the peace, shall
be privileged from arrest during the
session of the general assembly, and
in going to and returning from the
same, and shall not be subject to any
civil process during the session Of the
general assembly nor during the fif-
teen days next before the commence
ment thereof. For any speech or de-
bate in either house a member shall
not be questioned in any other place"
