ANOTHER TRUE ST.
BERNARD STORY
Marion Coon

This St. Bernard lived in Switzer-
land. His name was Santo and he be-
longed to an innkeeper up in the
mountains. One wild, stormy night
when he was lying by the hearth-tlre
apparently asleep, and his master and
mistress were taking their ease be-
cause they knew no guests would
come on such night, Santo sudden
" jumped up and insisted on going
out. Hi master tried to dissuade him
saying: mo, Santo, you do not want
to go out such terrible night as this !;
see how the snow drifts and how the
wind blowsw But Santo grew much
excited and in spite of all persuasion
got out and started down the noun
tain road as fast as he could go and
as if he knew exactly where he was
going.
About two hours ltaer he returned,
almost exhausted, with baby lished
to his back with a piece of harness.
You can imagine haw amazed the inn
keeper and his wife were and how
quickly she took the baby and warmed
and fed him. The man reused the
neighbors, who followed Santo. now
restlessly waiting for them. With such
things as they could carry to help
those they knew they would find in
dire need, they waded through the
snow two miles to gully road, where
they came upon an overturned bus
from which the frightened horses had
run away. There they found, huddled
together for warmth, seven people. in
Guiding the baby's father and mother
You can imagine how happy they
were to know that the baby was safe.
The innkeeper and the neighbors sue
ceeded in getting all the travellers back
to the inn. and so Santo really saved
all those lives.
Now how did Santo know, in the
first place, that there was trouble
somewhere? Shut your eyes and think
before you read the next line, and
learn that what made him prick up
his ears and insist on getting out was
the sound of the pounding of the
runaway horses hoofs, which his
keen hearing caught, above the roar
of the storm. He had before associat-
ed that sound with trouble, and his
instinct made him go to the rescue

KEEP JACK FROM
BECOMING DULL.

In order to prevent Jack from be-
coming dull boy as result of all
work and no ploy. many hours can
be spent profitably in the cshoolroom.
By forgetting books and lessons for
time and testing seeds. Seed testing
is diversion that is as practical as it
is enjoyable, 1t is admirably adapted
for exercise work in every school
room whether or not a systematic
course in agriculture is given. Little
equipment is necessary A study OF
samples of farm seed to be sown by
the pupils parents, to determine the
percentage of termination and the "
tent of impurities in the seed, offers
a means of connecting the school with
the home with benefits to both. I'M
purity tests canbe made by an ex-
mination with a magnifying glass.
The only apparatus necessary for ger
mination tests of small seed consists
of two plates. and piece of blotting
paper. Write to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture for Farmers
Bulletin 42s. Testing Farm Seeds in
the Home and in the Rural School"
1t gives complete directions.

COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER
VISITS CLOVERPORT

DIR. r. w. Meador, County Health
Officer of Irvington. was in Clover
port, Tuesday making investigations
regarding the smallpox situation here.
DIR. Meador stated the situation was
not alarming. The public school will
not be closed, and the epidemic is
not likely to spread since a strict
quarantine is kept over those who
have been exposed. 1t takes from nine
to fourteen days for a new case to
develop, was the statement of DIR.
Meador. He was here in consultation
with DR.. B. II. Parrish.

THINK 1T OVER BEFORE
ABANDONING HOPE

At the entrance to the Inferno de-
scribed by Dante was inscribed:
"All hope abandon, we who enter
here"
There ought to be, all over every
large city, stations as numerous as
numerous as Subway entrances, with
the sign:
"Ye who have abandoned all hope,
enter here"
We need in short, system of life
saving stations for people on the
brink of suicide quite as much as we
need a Relief Hospital in Haymarket
Square for people who have been
physically injured. We make great
deal of physical disaster Anyone who
has borne both kinds will tell you that
it is much easier to bear than mental
or moral disaster.
A responsible report declares that
suicide is on the increase pretty much
all over the world The analysis of the
past years figures is worth sober
study. Unhappy marriages made an
end of more than 100 couples. No less
than 400 returned soldiers have kill
ed themselves since the termination
of the war The list includes numbers
of farmers and farmers wives Seven
ty-hve were presidents and managers
of business concerns; SO were million
aires; 90 were wealthy women; doz-
EN- were writers; two or three were
editors; "a were lawyers; eight were
judges; 81 were doctors; 81 were
teachers or college professors; "a
were brokers; and ~ were clergymen
The total for the United States last
year is estimated at 10000
CHASTITY as these figures are the in
deX on the sum total of human misery
which they afford is more CHASTITY
still, for to every one who made an
end of it there are multitudes who
found themselves wretched enough to
consider the step, even if it was not
taken. 1t signifies an unhealthy state
of our social life.
There is one simple fact which, if it
could be generally grasped, would
save more people from suicide than
any other one thing 1t is that no
situation in life, either good or bad, is
permanent. The reason people per-
form the last rash act is because they
think things will always be like this
with them. They will not be- By hang
ing on another day. another week,
another month, another year, things
of necessity begin to clear up, or can
get adjusted. If life-saving stations
could get that fact into the minds of
desperate people, they would pay their
way ten times over.-Boston Globe.

SEES THE VASTNESS
OF AGRICULTURE
If Farmers Could Sell All Their
Lands They Would Have Bar
rels of Money.

If all the United States farmers
could sell their land with their crops
this year they would have money
enough to buy all the railroads, mines
quarries and manufacturing plants in
the country. Agriculture is the back
bone of the country and the farm lab
orers are an army so vast they dwarf
all other industries. We have almost
100000 workers on the soil, or "a
bout seven times the number employ
ed by all the railroads. What these
men produce annually spells success
or failure for every other business
1t measures the traffic of our rail
roads, the demand for money, and the
interest rate paid for its use A single
business and every person employed
in cities and also adds to the cost of
living
More than half the people in the
United States, of 60,000,000, now live
in cities and towns A similar distri-
button is pointed out as one of the
causes of the decline and fall of the
Roman Empire.
Americans are the greatest meat
eaters of the human race, but the
quantity of meat which the United
States produces for its own people is
decreasing; although the amount of
cereals per capita grows greater.
Vast as are farming interests and
vital as they are to the nation there
is probably not more than one state
legislature, in the Union that it not
ruled by lawyers, bankers and pro-
fessional politicians, who know little
and care less about live stock and
farm needs.-Shorthorn World.

GETTYSBURG SPEECH
Lincoln's Immortal Words Should Be
Read on His Birthday.

To The New York Herald: Your
correspondent Richard Kikelhan max
es a patriotic suggestion that Lin
coins Gettysburg Address be read in
all the public schools. at all public
gatherings and in all churches on
February ~, the birthday of the
greatest American.
The suggestion reminds me of the
centennial observance of Lincoln's
birthday in 1911. 1t was an honor Civ
en- me by Mayor Mcclellan to serve
on the New York City committee
with Gen, Sickles and others to plan
for the observance of the day. | am
vain enough to take little credit to
myself in proposing that the treat
address he recited in every grade of
every public school in New York City
at 12 o'clock noon on February IL.
The suggestion was heartily approx
ed. and the address was recited by a
chosen pupil in every grade. The sug-
getsion was also followed in many of
the public schools in the cities of this
State as well as in cities ofother
States.
1t is hoped that the suggestion of
your correspondent will be observed
on the approaching birthday
Many years ago | offered a prize
to my children if they would commit
the Gettysburg Address to memory,
telling them / would be more proud
of them to repeat the address than
to have them recite the best page of
the best of Cicero's orations.
Let everybody enter into the spirit
and give heed to an address which is
printed and hangs in the University
of Oxford as an example of the best
English ever spoken.
