A STORY WITH 4 MORAL.

John d. Rockefeller on his eightleth birthday
told a story.
There was young boy good many years
ago" he said, "who lived on farm, But this
Young boy thought himself too clever for ord
mary farm work. and so he persuaded ms
farmer daddy to send him off to college.
"The young fellow worked hard at college
Yes he worked so hard there that after his
graduation they made him an instructor at six
teen dollars a week. That made him proud |
tell YOU.
ayes. he was so proud, so eager to get on,
that now he took up the study OF mineral oils,
and in ten years time he became such re-
markable mineral oil sharp that they made him
oil professor at forty dollars week How he
chuckled at his old farmer dad then.
''Wel about this time the old man died, and
the oil professor wrote home that the farm was
TO he sold; so sold it was There was a brook
running through the farm. and where the
brook rose the old farmer had put board to
take the scum off the water, so that 1t would be
clear and wholesome for the cattle to drink.
The new owner sampled this scum and found
that il was petroleum, the one thing that the
clever professor knew all about.
But the professor knew nothing about the
crude oil on his fathers farm. He had never
got up early and taken the cattle out to drink.
He had been fast asleep when he ought to have
been working the crop in the field. lie hac

sold for a few thousand dollars n farm that

SLEEPING WHILE STANDING

People often express wonder
at the quiet way horses stand
often motionlesS for hours in one
position. They do not realize
what complete relaxation is OBJ
tanned and how common it is for
horses to obtain virtually all
their rest and sleep while stand
ing. Stablemen have said that
the short time a horse does lie
down is usually around midnight.
1t is a well-known fact that ele-
plants have an acute fear Of
mice, and the mere presence of
one in their hay will cause an
entire herd to raise their trunks
in the air, showing that they are
afraid the small rodent will
scamper up the proboscis. So it
is often contended that horses
possess this same fear of mice
and insects, and so obtain their
rest and sleep largely while
standing. The trait is more
marked in some animals than in
others, and is one of the most in
applicable habits of our domestic
animals.

KILLS MOUNTAIN LION WITH BOWS
AND ARROWS.
BY DIR. SATTON POPE.


To meet an enraged mountain lion with a
rifle is bad enough.
But to face him in the wilds with bow and
arrow, at 20 yards distance, as Arthur II.
Young, my hunting companion, and ! recently
did in the California forest, is as thrilling an
adventure as comes to the American sportsman.
II is a sheer test of fighting wits between
man and beast.
1t was only after much experience in hunting
with the bow and after careful coaching by
lShi noted Yana Indian archer and last OF his
race, now dead, that Young and ] set out TO TRY
conclusions with the mountain lion, panther
or cougar-meaneSt and wariest Of our big
game.
With two dogs for trackers, we entered the
forests OF Tuolumne County. California, IN the
Rose Greek district. armed only with our pow
erful home made bows of Oregon yew and
dozen steel pointed arrows
The mountain lion is wary and wise 1t was
not until after several days hunting that the
dogs picked up the trail of one. Then followed
a heart-breakng run through a half-mile OF
brush and tmber-the big cat hotly pursued
by our hounds. making a short winded dash
to keep out Of danger
At last. however. the dogs bayed the brute
in the dry brush at the base of a great oak.
Young and l. comino up hreathlesS and excited,
drew our cloth-yard shafts from their quiverS
and approached cautiously, with every nerve
alert
Twenty yards from the brush we caught our
first sight OF nina tawny. crouchng mass,
with a great tail twitching nervouSly from SIDE
10 side and two yellow, vndictNe eyes Giarng
at us.
Together Young and ! notched our arrows
raised our bows and drew to the head.
shoot" whispered Young. and we let fly.
There was a thud of striking shafts, an en-
ragged SnarI and the great beast turned iuIl
upon U.S. We saw his wicked. cleaning teeth,
his ouivering body with one arrow buried IN
his Jaw. the other deep in his shoulder For
q moment he crouchcd and was about to spring
when our dogs rushed upon him. Then he
turned. bounding upon a low limb of the oak.
As he did this and gathered himself TO leap.
his big 1.-THE body flashed rs a living target
before u.s. We drew again our dead" shafts
and with al the strength of our great yew bows
We drove two singing arrows clear through ms
chest
With mighty bound he flew out over our
heads and landed ON his feet. He staggered
and fell
The dogs were upon his in an nstant-there
was n short. fierce struggle in which n SnarI-
ING hon. yelping dogs and two bowmen were
mixed an in the brush. But with one arrow
i'm his heart and another in his lungs, the beast
stood no chance. In less than half minute he
lay dead at our feet
Thrills? There were more of them crowded
into that mornings hunting than you could get
out of a barrel of gun powder.
We had matched our wits and intelligence,
our woodcraft and our strength against those
of the beast
The mountain lion proved to be a strong
young male weighing about 100 pounds, and
we believe he was the first North American
panther to fall a victim to bow and arrow in
the hands Of a white man.

THE GOURD AND THE PINE.

Once there was very tall, old pine tree. 1t
had been growing slowly and carefully for many
years One day the wind brought a proud
little seed and dropped il at the roots OF the
pine tree. 1t swelled to see how quickly it could
burst its hard coat and begin to grow. II was
going to be a gourd vine
Il will climb to the top of the tree" said
the little gourd vine. So it held tightly TO the
pine tree and climbed until it was up TO the
top branch
Now see where | can comet" it exclaimed.
THE pine tree has been growing for many
years, and only started this summer After
a while great storm came upon the forest and
brought the snowflakes. The flowers began TO
hang their heads The birds flew south. The
old pine tree did not mind the cold, for it had
seen a great many storms. But the poor little
gourd vine had grown so fast it had not grown
carefully and well. It's tendrills were weak. It's
stalks were soft.
One cold night the frost touched it and IT
fell in a heap on the ground. Not even the old
pine tree could hold it up. That was the end Of
the boastfu little gourd vine.

patriotic democrats in the nation who
forgot their party supremacy in their
devotion to the common cause of the
country would resent such an attempt
to prostitute patriotism on the altar Of
party politics. The people showed their

a republican congress in the face OF

TOO SMALL FOR THE JOB.

Sioux City Journal: Chairman Cum
mings, of the democratic national com
mittee, lacks the ability to fill that pO-
sition with credit to his party. He is
too much disposed to play cheap poll
tics. A national chairman is presumed
to use every honorable effort to win
and to claim credit for his party for
everything possible. But when Chair
mar Cummings attempts to claim
credit for the democratic party for
winning the war he is classifying the
position of half Of the people Of the
nation and assuming an attitude that
is shallow and cheap. The democratic
party did not win the a The Amer
lean people, irrespective of party, VOL
it. The boys who went from republican
homes had as glorious a part in the
bloody carnage as those who went
from democratic homes. And in the
last analysis, it was these valiant !:oys
who formed the lines and did the
fighting who brought home the victory.
Chairman Cummins qualities his rad
zeal and unfair claim by %attributing
the victory to the brains of the war
leadership, and by asserting that that
leadership yeas democratic, hence the
party is entitled to credit. If Presi-
dent Wilson desires to pass into his
tory as infamous all he need do is to
claim for himself that which Chairman
Cummings Claims for him, that he led
the nation and executed the mandates
of congress and carried out the will OF
the people, not as the president of the
United States, but as the head of the

WHAT 1T MEANS.

Muscatine Journal: The trade union
movement should not be made to suffer
because of the irresponsible acts of a
minority in one organization.
Recent strikes make known the im'
patience of the %uniOnist with a griev'
ancc. Efforts are being made to under
mine the present leadership Of many
of the larger unions. Radical agitators
are responsible for not a few of the
disturbances of a mutinous nature with.
in the ranks of labor. They have
sought to discredit the conservative
leaders who are heroically struggling
to Keep ''the lid on"
Not a few reactionaries gain COM
fort form the plight of those high in
the ranks Of labor, but their glee would
turn to something akin to grief should
this leadership be cast aside and the
radical element prevail.
A silent battle is being fought within
the ranks of labor. The occasional mu-
tiny is but the surface indication. The
public interest is involved in the out
come of this struggle.
If conservative leadership fails, those
who are enemies of organized labor
will find there is something more to be
feared than unionism as it exists today.

THE yOLSTEAD LAW.

Sioux City Journal: Two questions
are before the supreme court invOlv-
ing national prohibition and its en-
forcement. The constitutional amend
ment is to be passed upon by that body
as well as what is commonly known
as the Volstcad law, which is the con-
gressional measure enacted to carry
the amendment into force. The court
can hold the Volstead law %unconstitu-
tional in Whole or III part without in
the least weakening the prohibition
amendment. The amendment is con
stitutionaI: the law is statutory. 1t
will be well when the decision is rem
dcred to have this distinction in mind
so that what the court decides con
corning the statute may not be con-
fused with what it decides concerning
the amendment.
To illustrate the point, the law, not
the amendment, contains the provision

THE STEEL TRUST.

If it is true. as Judge Gary, chair
man of the United States Steel Cor
poration says, that the price OF steel
has been held down by the trust it is
certainly entitled to commentator
The Freeman-Journa is not Informed
upon steel prices, but Judge Gary
in response to inquiries from stock
holders as to why prices have not been
advanced, since the agreement between
the industrial board and steel manu-
facturers on March p, 1919, explained
as follows:
ut seems to us the problem OF
high cost of living is of convincing
Importance. When the increasing
tendency is to insist upon payment OF
unreasonable sums for every commod-
ity and for every service, SO that the
vicious whirl of advancement. seems to
be amending, we think there is a moral
obligation on the part Of everyone to
use all reasonable efforts to check
this carnival of greed and imposition,
even Mt some sacrifice.
'"There is a growing discrepancy
between different individuals and i'll
terests. The man with a fixed income
is at a disadvantage and his family
helpless. He cannot increase his in
come to meet the increased cost of Nv
ing. Therefore, it should he the effort
of all to establish and maintain a rea-
sonable basis for prices, certainly to
prevent further increases; otherwise
the government, from the standpoint
of protection of the public, must inter.
.fere.'
The attitude of the corporation on
prices, Mr.. Gary added, has had con
siderable influence in preventing in,
creases in the general selling prices OF
steel, although some manufacturers
have made them due, as they claim, to
increased cost of manufacture"
If all the big industries would follow
the example of the steel corporation
in this matter the country would be in
far better condition. There would be
less unrest and more confidence in the
stability Of the future. However, the
most of the big manufacturers are get
ting all they can for their products,
and, owing to unprecedented demands.
they can get almost anything they ask.
