Think of Yourself.

You cannot reach high degree OF
success in anything without making
enemies.
Perhaps your lack of success has
been caused by this very feeling that
you desire to make and retain your
friends.
You might have improved your pO-
sition many times, but you feared the
i'll feeling engendered in certain cir
cles with your advancement.
There are times in the lives of all
men when they must each choose be-
tween what is for their own best in
terest and their friends, and this does
not mean that it is a case Of taking
advantage of friends-merely dis
pleasing them.
Perhaps it is a principle Of bust
ness involved-perfectly honest and
honorable, and to your financial credit
but what would your friends think
if you took the decisive step?

RODS GIVE NO PROTECTION
French Vine Growers Find They De.
rive No Benefit From Metal
Rods They Erected.

The vine-growing region of the Gil
rOnde, in France, has been quite ex-
tensively equipped in recent years
with tall metal rods, similar to light
ming rods, known as paragreleS or
electric Niagaras," and alleged to ef-
ford protection from hailstorms. A
careful study of the functioning Of
these rods has recently been published
by NJ. e. County of the University d;
Bordeaux. The statistics presented
show that numerous hailstorms have
occurred in the vicinity of nearly all
the rods. Moreover, according TO NJ.
County, there has been no obvious
change in the character Of these
storms since the erection of the rods.
His article points out some Of the
principal reasons for the erroneous
conclusions that others have drawn in
favor of them; for example, the fact
that, normally, only one thunderstorm
in five is attended by hail; that the
area over which hail falls is normally
very small In comparison with that
covered by the thunderstorm, and hail
tends to occur in scattered patches JOr
narrow bands; and, lastly, that dis
trict In which hail has fallen for two
or three years in succession often re-
mains free from hail for years, re-

tectiug devices.

ATHLETES OF INSECT WORLD
Comps red With the Ant, Man Cannot
81 Considered as Other Than a
Puny Creature.

Ants are the athletes of the insect
world, easily carrying ten times their
own weight. The edifices they rear
by conjoint labor render the pyramids
ridiculous, for the common wood ant
will build structures as large as a
haycock, all of mere fragments. If
others are content with small dOmiciles
it is because their needs are sufficed,
but all alike dwell beneath their under
ground galleries and halls with the or
der and activity of busy, well-gOv-
erned city.
No nonsense is taken in ant land
about everybody being as good and
great as everybody else. They nurse
with infinite devotion the ant babies,
putting them in the warm upper gal
leries by day and at night tucking
them up in the suggest lower cham
bers They bring home stores of food
to the ant city, for those are wrong
who say that the little creatures do
not lay up winter provisions.

Lake Siljan.

The forested district round about Lake
Siljan is one Of the most interesting
bits of country in the world, in the
matter of local color and folk GUS
toms that have been preserved almost
unchanged from earlier times. Lake
Siljan lies in the heart of Sweden, in
region still relatively isolated. The
lake is large enough to afford traffic
for small steamers, and the country
boats of the peasants are numerous.
In dress and customs, the people
Of the villages that dot the shores
have kept the variety and color that
distinguished country districts before
modern means of transportation made
the world a unit, forcing us all to dress
and act and think alike. Thus the viii
lage of Orsa has even a dialect mark
edly different from its neighbors,
which is said to resemble the old
Scotch more than Swedish. People OF
villages 10 or II miles apart can be
distinguished by their distinctive dress.

TURKS "FEAST OF BAIRAM"
Day That Is Observed by MosIen Cor
responds With the Christmas
of the Christians.

The Turk takes his pleasures pretty
sadly; about the only time he publicly
relaxes is during the feat Of Bairam,
which in the way of gift giving, feast
ing and good will to man corresponds
to our Christmas. On that day every
dyed a bright orange with gold or sill
yer leaf, says the Christian Science
Monitor.
When the lamb has been sacrificed
on the morning Of the festival, it's
flesh is divided into three portions, one
being given to the poor, another to rel
atives, the third being kept for the
household. On that day the sultan
goes to the mosque which is nearest
the Yildiz Kiosk-the vast assemblage
of buildings which go to make up the
imperial Observation-Disclosures collect
to watch the bent frock coated, vel
low faced, blackeyed, red feZzed little

cavalry, infantry and marines; also-a
quaint custom-by a half-dozen led

The rnonth-long fast of Ramazan
is held by the Moslem to be divine
institution. Its observance is strictly
enjoined on all true believers over the
age of fourteen, invalids and travellers
only excepted. Ramazan is held in the
ninth month of the Mohanmedan year.
The Moslem year being lunar, Rama
zan makes in the course of time the
round Of the seasons. But through
the winter days, from sunrise to sun
set, the pious MOhammedan does not
take bit of food or sup of drink;
he also abstains entirely from coffee,
tobacco and sweets. But the moment
the echoes of the sunset gun have
died he is at liberty to break his fast.

MAKE USE OF WASTE HEAT
Councillors Of Reykjavik, Iceland, Ap-
ply System That Reduces the
Taxation of the Citizens.

The city council of Reykjavik, ice
land, has now begun the baking Of
bread in a special bakery in cOnnec-
ton with the gas works, where mod
ern machinery has been installed in
special building. The result was ex-
eellent, in that the waste heat from
the gas works is being used in prac-
ticable and profitable manner, and in
the course Of a short time all the
black bread which may be needed
will be baked in the new bread fac
tory.
The idea was that of young stu
dent there, and it is considered one Of
the best means of saving coal, time
and money. Three-pound loaves have
been completely baked in three hours
in considerable numbers.

SIR NOsEY.
"A Thorn Bringeth Not Forth Fruit,
Nor Thistle Figs.

A shrill feline trebles smote the
.neighborhood air out our way the
other afternoon.
I'm going right in and tell your
ma what you did in the barn; I'm
going right in and tell her."
We looked out in time to see the
.shrill-shrieking young Puritan leg
ging it down the alley, with fiery
headed youngster, smaller than him
self, vigorously pursuing.
We hope redhead caught him.
And as we went back to our maya
zine we remarked what a perfectly
adorable reformer that treble
voiced skinny legged boy was prob
ably going to make rs years hence.
We remember what, as boy, we
thought of tattletales.
The tribe talesbearers, who
toadied to the teacher, who were
always so spick and span, and nice
and precise, and so talkative about
the other fellows sins.
We hated them then and we hate
them yet; and all their grownup
brethern, who so fussily mind other
folks business and morals.
We have been fooling ourselves
with the idea that We make people
good by law. That we conquer ap-
petite and vice by regulating the
utmost the private lives of our citi-
zens.
1t was the theory of some New
England sires adopted in good faith,
and it resulted in bigotry, in all mar
ner of grotesque denominations, per-
formed solemnly in the name of a
merciful God
Goodness comes from within, and
makes itself manifest outwardly
A thorn bringeth not forth fruit,
nor thistle figs.

fathers, and the work of its church
was to reform men from within.

give up this appeal to the spirit, and
substitute the appeal of force, the
appeal through political power, the
appeal of the club.
Which is all wrong and will lead
as inevitably to reaction that will
lower real moral standards, as the
Blue Laws led to license, and the
bigotry of the middle ages led to
popular hatred of all theology.

Loyal, but Not Honest.

How a man may be honorable In
big things&but dishonorable in lesser
is shown by the story told of Prince
Charles. Edward, the Pretender. After
the IPretender's defeat at the battle
of Culloden Moor in 1746, the prince
took refuge in the home of Scottish
peasant. q There was a reward Of
f3O,006 for the capture of the fugitive,
but, although the peasant knew this
he did not betray his royal guest.
Later, this same peasant, who had
scornedl to possess himself of great
wealthy dislOyal means, stole COW,
and was tried, convicted and hanged,
stealing being q capital offense in
those days.

THE ARMADlLLO AS A DIGGER
In a Tug-of-War With a Boy the Ami.
NAL Won Out in Quite
Easy Manner.

One day was standing on a mound
when an armadillo bolted from his
earth and running to the very spot
where ! was standing began vigorously
digging to escape by buryiDg himself
in the soil.
Neither men nor dogs had seen him,
and ] at once determined to capture
him unaided by anyone and imagined
it would prove very easy task
Accordingly l laid hold of his black
bone-cased tail with both hands and
began Juggling to get him off the
ground, but couldn't move him. He
went on digging furiously, getting
deeper and deeper into the earth, and
l soon found that instead Of me pull
ing him out he was pulling me in af-
ter him.
1t hurt my small boy pride to think
that an animal no bigger than a cat
was going to beat me in a trial Of
strength, and this made me hold on
more tenaciously than ever and tug
and strain more violently, until not TO
lose him ! had to 60 fiat on the
ground. But it was all for nothing.
First my hands, then my aching arms
were carried down into the earth, and
/ was forced to release my hold and
get up to rid myself of the mound he
had been throwing up into my face
and all over my head, neck and shout.

Guests Good Time
ENTERTAINS LARGE COMPANY
AT HOME COMING CELEBRA-
TON LAST WEDNESDAY,

Morgan entertained large number
of visitors last Wednesday afternoon
and entertained them in splendid style
by giving them a good program. good
lunches, a good dance in the evening
and extending the right hand of good
fellowship all day. About three hun
dred people attended the celebration
from Redwood Falls and they all ex-
pressed themselves as greatly pleased
with the good time shown them.
Features of the day were the parade
IN the morning, a speech in the after
noon by Senator Benson of ST. Peter,
an airplane demonstration which was
very we'll given and greatly pleased
PIE assembly, ball game, a very
pretty and well give historical pag-
cant by the girls of Morgan, an exhibi-
ton Of clever toe dancing by the Miss
Jones, also local girl and dance in
the town hall. Lunches were served
by the ladies of Morgan who took care
of tho large crowd in very excellent
shape. The entire program of the
day was one which would have done
credit to town several times larger
than Morgan, and the business people
of the village are to be complimented
upon the result of their work.
