AS Good as a Youth.

Workmen at mill In Greencastle
are telling a good story regarding one
OF the workmen. II has been n rule OF
the company not 10 employ men over
a certain age.
A few days ago man living within
a stones throw OF the mill solicited
work. but was turned down because OF
his gray wh'skers and his snow-white
hair. The "old" man was not daunted.
He felt he WAS still good for many days
OF work, so he went TO a drug store.
bought a bottle OF black hair dye and
soon had his wilderness JET black. He
again asked for work OF the same fore
man and was accepted at once. He was
put 10 work and made good from the
start. Then he was worried because
his white hair was growing. as also
were his equally white whisksrs. He
again bought a second bottle OF dye
and used it 10 hide his identity.
The "old" man II still working bis
eight hours a day and one Official OF
the company stated he had done such
: good Job he did not have to buy an
other bottle Of dye. but could hold his
lob, even with bis white hair and whis-
kers.-IndlanspOlis News.

The Panama Canal.

II has been said that water at the
Pacific end OF the Panama canal is
permanently higher than IL is In the
Caribbean sea at the northern end ~
the canal. The statement OF the caual
commission is to the effect that there
is no difference between mean sea-
level In the Caribbean sea at Colon
and mean sea-level in Panama bay on
the Pacific side of the isthmus. but at
Colon the tide rises only about nine
inches above mean sea-level and falls
nine. inches below mean Sea-level;
while at Panama the water at high tide
rises 10 ten feet above sea-level and
falls at low tide TO ten feet below
mean sea-level. The water at Panama
at high tide is slightly more than nine
feet above elevation OF the water at
Colon. while at low tide the situation
is reversed and the water al Panama
is slightly more than nine feet below
the level OF the water az Colon. One
OF the reasons for building a locked
canal IS feet above sea-level is that
there are sometimes relentless floods
created by the Chagres river, which
has been known TO rise 251s feet In "a

FOUNDATION OF ALL SUCCESS
Energy Has Been We'll Defined rs the
Very Central Power Of charae-
ter In Man.

Energy enables a man 20 force hts
way through drudgery and dry de-
tails, and carries him onward and up
ward In every station In life, says
Smiles. IL accomplishes more than
genius. Energy Of will may be defined
70 be the very central power or chsrac-
ter In MANN a word. II Is the man
himself. True hope is based on it
and II Is hope that gives the real per-
fume TO life. No blessing is equal to
the possession OF stout heart.
Charles TX OF Sweden was firm
believer In the power OF will, even In
a youth. Laying his hand on the head
OF his youngest son, when engaged up
on a difficult task. he exclaimed, He
shall do IL He shall do IT."
Nothing that is OF real worth can be
achieved without courageous working.
The timid and hesitating find etery-
thing impossible. chiefly because IL
seems so. II is pluck. tenscity and de-
termined perseverance which wins sol
diers' battles. and. indeed, every bat
tie.
The reply OF the Spartan father who
said to his son. when complaining that
his sword was too short, Add a step
to IT," is applicable TO <erything In
life.

PECULIAR TEST FOR GUILT
Most OF Us Would Rather Take

When judges or arbltrators In Tibet
cannot come to a decision as 70 the
guilt or innocence OF wrongdoet, they
first assure themselves that the pris-
oner. believes In "karma"-that he
must inevitably suffer the conse-
Quences OF his oath-and then they
permit him TO undergo an ordeal. Muir
derers and thieves are allowed 10 take
the ordeal.
In the presence OF the judge, the
prosecuting attorney. the witnesses
and other spectators. the prisoner In
vokes the gods and the demi-gods TO
bear witness 10 the truth or his state
ment OF innocence. A copper or iron
bowl filed with boiling oil Is placed
before him.
In this bowl are q black pebble and
a white pebble. each the size OF an
egg. and each tied In bag. The
swearer washes his hands In water.
then in milk. and listens while a sec
ton of the law written on tablet with
the blood OF cow slain for the pur-
pose is read TO him. When the reading
Is ended he plunges his hand into the
boiling oil and brings out one Of the
pebbles.
II he has taken out the white pebble
without scalding his hand he is be-
lieved TO be innocent and is released.
But II his hand is scalded he's believed
10 be only partially innocent. II Il is
the black pebble that ne brings M, and
IF his hand Is scalded he Is pro-
nounced guilty and pays the penalty
for the crime OF which he Is accused.

In Affection's Garden.

In the garden OF our affections
there are certain loyal natures that
continue faithful through all things !:
as in the kingdom OF vegetation there
are certain finely organized and sen
sitive growths OF flower and vine,
which are SO susceptible to warmth
and light. and beauty, that they do
nothing all their lives but look at the
sun. In the dawn. with q sublime
faith. they watch the east for his CON-
ing. Turning on their slender stems
all day long, they follow him as he
makes the circuit Of the sky; and at
nightfall, after he has sunk from
sight. we behold again these flowers.
their faces westward now, with the
dewdrops shining on their petals, like
tears gathered in the eyes Of parted
friendship.-John McLandburgh.

PRICED OLD RIFLE

loom in Family.
Belonged TO John FerrIl, Who Used 10
With Eject In Indian Wars Of
kentueky-Passive Dur
ing Civil War.

Therv Is story OF the American
rne that has been handed down 10
the hearthstone history aud traditions
OF those who for generations have
lived In the West. IL begins with
the Greenbrier region OF Virginia OF
colonial times. thence into Kentucky,
70 Missouri In the days OF Upper
Louisiana, thence 10 the great prairies
or the fa- West and on To California.
The family rifle was dear and sacred.
John and Margaret Ferrll and their
4. family were with party OF pioneers
from the Greenbrier region who mi
grated 10 Kentucky In the early days
Owing 10 the hostilities OF the In
dams, they were armed and under the
command OF Capt. Jacob Baughman, a
brother OF Margaret Ferril.
They packed" on horses over the
Allegheny mountains and when In
camp at or near Crab Orchard, Ky,
were attacked I'm the night by Indians
In the fight that ensued Capt Baugh
man. John Ferrfl and others were
killed. but the men held back the In
disns long enough TO enable some %
tho women and children 10 escape.
Among the number thus saved werc
Margaret Ferril. a son. John Ferril,
and two daughters: and also Mrs. ia
cob Baughman. son Henry OF ten
der age. and two daughters
The -Fsrr1l fight, or massa-
ere, occurred In the fall OF 1779.
John Ferril. then fourteen years old,
who had escaped. swors an oath of re-
venge on his rife. he kept that vow.
and his ride became a bloody one In
the Indian wars OF Kentucky.
In the Boone Lick region OF Mis-
were built several forts for protection
against Indians. especially the Sacs
and Foxes and the Pottawatomies.
John Ferril and family were In one
OF them. known as Fort Cooper He
here still possessed his old Kentucky
rife. After the war OF 1912. I'm addi.
uon 70 farming. he often engaged In
hunting expeditions UP the Missouri
and Kansas rivers. and sometimes far
out on the great prairies.
Over a century ago he hunted bear
and other game on what Is now the
site OF Kansas City. He and other
frontiersmen then predicted that q
great city would he founded on the
confluence OF the Missouri and Kan
sas rivers
The old rife OF John Ferril has beer
preserved. During the Civu war. wher
the authorities were collecting all the
guns in Saline county. Missouri. they
seized the old Ferril rife Keziah Fer
I'll, then about ninety years cid, crieC
and begged that it be not taken. Hell
sons and grandsons were wearing the
blue and gray and compromise wa:
effected. Ii was agreed that this old
rife should be hid away, and thus the
old Ferril rife became a noncomba.
ant In the Civil war IL later passed
20 the possession Of Jesse Ferril. coun
~ judge. son OF Henry Ferril. who
founded Miami. Mo. On the death 0f
Judge Jesse Ferril the rife was passed
on as an heirloom 20 his brother, Johr
Ferril, who had been soldier from
Saline county with DOniphan's Mis-
sourians In the Mexican war. Johr
Ferril died some months ago at ht
home in Exeter, Cal.
