PILL0RY DREADED BY ALL
Ancient Form Of Punishment That
Frequently Was Made Savage IL
Victim Was Unpopular.

It Is less than a century ago since
the pillOry was abolished In Britain.
The pillory, as a form of torture was
known all over Europe and, from all
accounts, 1t had larger history in Ger
many than in this country.
It's form is, Of course, familiar to all.
The culprit, generally a criminal
though men were often put in the Dill
Tory for political Offenses as well-was
placed on platform, and his head and
hands were inclOsed in a small wooden
frame. If public opinion went against
the culprit, his fate was often q terri
BILE one, for the enraged populace beat
and stoned him.
Readers Of Besant's novel, "The Or
ange Girl" will know how this torture
was dreaded by all classes of crimi-
nails. Occasionally a prominent and in
fuential personality would be SEN
fenced to detention in the piIlory, as
was Lord Cochrane, but, fortunately
for his lopdship, the punishment was
never carried out. Strange scenes were
often witnessed at the pillory, as in
1879, when the offender was supplied
with refreshments during his impris.
onment, and protected from the wealth.

noctial storms" The sun "crosses the
line" on September %, the autumnal
equinox, and summer is astronomically

weather generally brings about that

disaster to shipping. AS similar storms
occur In March while the sun is near

Ing the equator is directly responsible
for these equinoctial storms. Nothing
could be more absurd. The equator in
the sky is as imaginary a circle as the
equator on the earth. Weather is
not made on the spot, but is the result
Of influences spread over large areas.
Changes in the moon and spots on
the sun have been the phenomena most
generally blamed for changes in the
weather - but apparently without
scientific reason.

DIPLOMAT OF, HIGHEST RANK
Why II 10 Advisable That Country

bassador,

Ambassador is the highest diplo-
matte officer. Ambassadors, In addition
to the usual privileges accorded repre-
sentatives Of foreign governments,
have the special one Of personal audi
ence with the head of the state to
which they are accredited.
In the days Immediately preceding
the establishment of the American re-
public the officers who were sent to
Europe on diplomatic missions were
oficially termed commissioners. When
the diplomatic service was permanent
ly organized the title Of the highest
representatives was made "envoy ex-
,traordinary and minister plenipoten-
tiary," subordinate representatives be-

Constantly increasing production of
redwood lumber In Humboldt county
means that in less than a century the
only commercial redwood forest In the
world will be stripped bare. accord
Ing to compilations made by George A.
Kellogg, secretary Of the Humboldt
chamber Of commerce. In 1895 II was
estimated that the standing redwood
timber In the country would be suffi-
cient for 200 years, but since that time
the capacity Of the mills has been more
than doubled with the prospects for a
continuous increase In the future.
Out Of 598 acres Of redwood timber
standing untouched before numbering
operations were begun In the county,
98,0 900 acres have been cut over. This
cut represents some Of the best TIM
Der Of the country, for the bottom lands
along the rivers where the best timber
stands have been harvested first.
Redwood lumber thus far produced
from the forests Of the country has
represented value Of $160,317,237 and
has totaled $500, S65 500 board feet.

WILL POWER ALWAYS COUNTS
Well to Realize One Has Got to Want
Things Hard In Order to
Get Them.


Just wanting something will rarely
obtain 1t for you. You've got to go out
and get 1t for yourself. In an article
called Increase Your Driving Power"
In the American Magazine, a writer
quotes an authority as saying:
AFTER all, man does what he
wants to do. Therefore, he must be
taught as child and he must learn In
adult years to teach himself, to want
to do the right thing and the big thing
and to want 1t so hard that he Is
bound to arrive at the wished-for goal.
Anybody can sit down and say, I'D like
to be the head Of my company, or the
president of the United States, or the
best salesman in the world That much
Is easy. 1t Is exactly what the baby
does when 1t sits on the floor and
squalls for piece Of candy. But 1t Is
a very different thing from wanting
something so much that one is willing
to set about 1t and undertake at once
the doing of the impossible.
'SThe trouble with the average man
Is that he does not want things hard
enough. And one reason for this is
that he has not been taught the value
of this wanting He has not been
shown In his schools and in his life
that man has tremendous resources for
wanting and for willing, and that, as
he continues to will and will, he will
find himself unknown and unsupported
layers of energy. There is always
enough energy to supply a mans de-
sires for success If he will tap the
source Of It,"
