SCENE OF MAJESTIC BEAUTY
Table Mountain, for Many Reasons, Is
Superior to Any of the Earth's
Great Peaks

the golden sands of Mogudor, but
have never seen anything resembling
its mighty mass which is the dom
inant, the royal fact of the Cape Pc
1, ninsula. 1t is by virtue of it's
mass and the colossal buttreSsed
cliffs which form its walls that Table
mountain is majestic, as also by the
abruplness of its rise from the visible
sea-level. The height of inland noun
tainS is II matter of faith rather than
sight; but this mountain, like Etua

whose roots are in the sea, announces
its stature at once To the eye. IT rises
more Immediately from the sea than
either of these, yet not SO mmedi-
ately as il appears to do when seen
from the bay. 1t throws out toward
the ocean low spurs of mingled rock
and green banks. In spring these
grassy banks are all set with flowers.
Among them Is Il pretty white flower,

NEED FOR BALANCE WHEEL

Courage is an Indispensable quality
In our success; but if it is not bal

Is a great quality when it is held in

guided by good judgment.
know man whose courage is very
much over-developed and his faculty
of caution is very deficient. He does
not know what fear means, and he
plunges into all sorts of foolish oper-
atoms which do not turn out well, and
he is always trying to get out of
things which he had gone into hastily.
If his prudence had been equally de-
velOped with his courage, with his bold
ness, he would have made very
strong man.
Futile endeavOrS, half-hearted ef-
forts never accomplish anything. 1t
takes the fire of determination, en-
ergy, push, and good Judgment to ac-
complish that which counts. 1t is the
well-balanced enthusiastic man with
fire in his blood, and ginger in his
brain, who makes things move and
achieves the seemingly impossible.-

upon the stiffness of the night at
II O'Clock Tuesday night. This
was an unusal occurrence in Pol
lock at this hour of the night,
and created some excitement,
but the cause of the shooting was
not ascertained until Wednesday
evening. At that time it was
learned, through a statement
from Miss Thomas, a trained
nurse in the Office of DIR. j. M.
Bonnette, that the doctor had
been shot the previous night.
She stated that only one buck
shot had taken effect in the right
arm. The doctor remained alone
in his wounded condition until
day light. no alarm Of the shoot
ing having been given. No rea-
sons were assigned for his re-
naming so long before seeking
medical aid at the sanitarium,
except that he wanted to get all
of his business affairs in shape.
The party who shot him. it is
stated, was on the main street

scattered, he must have been
