The wise man has doubts but the
fool is always positive.
It is difficult for a man to face
the world if he is flat on his back.
The only way some people can
keep a promise is to place it in a
sake deDosit vault.
Even when you ride a hobby it
does not always respond to the
spur of the moment.
As we sow, so shall we reap, and
that is why so many people are shy
on the reaping.
Life is easy in a way. It is oft
en easy to build up a reputation,
and even easier to destroy it.
It takes mighty little to please
some people who are mighty well
pleased with themselves.
Strange as it may seem, a man
doesn’t out much ice unless he
* makes hay while the sun shines.
Don’t try to whip the devil
around the stump. You won’t
hurt the devil and the stump may
hurt you.
There are so many "sure cures”
for baldness that it is rather re
markable that the shining domes
are increasing.
At one time Sunday was a day of
rest. Today it is a day of cease
less, insane rush and hurry. Near
ly all the accidents which comes to
motorists, excursionists and those
who do not accept the time hon
ored theory that the first day of
the week should be devoted to a
cessation from business and social
activities, occur on Sunday. Ev
e y Monday morning newspapers,
especially in the summer, contain
columns of reports of accidents,
The old idea that Sunday should
be restricted to peaceful pursuits
is fast passing, and it is no credit
to this country and its people that
we have traveled so far from the
traditions of our ancestors.
LET'S FORGET THE "ANTI.”
Nothing characterizes the atti
tude of a certain class of reformers
better than the prefix “anti” with
which they designate their various
movements. They are "anti” this
and "anti" that. They are nevei
PRO anything. Their entire make
up is negative. Whatever it is
they are Against it. It would be
against their nature to be Foi
something. They prefer to gc
yapping at the world’s heels, bark
ing at the car of progress, worryinj
at the feet of those who are goinf
forward. The true reformer has
the spirit of the adventurer. H<
has a destiny to fulfill. The work
may not be perfect, but it is no
for him to tear down what already
exists; he hasn’t time for that, bu
to build up something superior
There is as much difference be
tween a Pro and an Anti as then
is between a bromide and a sul
phide.

Origin of Great Arts.
Gunpowder was discovered from
the falling of a spark on some ma
terial mixed in a mortar. The pen
dulum clocks were invented after
Galileo stood observing the lamp in
a church swinging to and fro.
Electricity was discovered by the
observation that pieces of rubbed
glass attracted small bits of paper.
The stupendous results of the
steam engine may be traced to the
boy who sat watching the steam
which came from the mouth of a
tea kettle. The art of printing
took its origin from some rude im
pressions taken, for the amusement
of some children, from letters
carved in the bark of a beech tree.
The telescope we owe to the chil
dren of a spectacle maker, who
placed two or more spectacle
glasses togather and looking

The Practical Joker.
In these days filled with an overplus
of law against this and that, it is to
he regretted that there is not some en
actment against the practical Joker,
The newspaper reader is being con
stantly reminded that this nuisance Is
still abroad. Today It Is the one who
maliciously pulls a chair from under
an acquaintance; yesterday It was the
young man who put a sheet over his
head and lay In wait In the shadows
to frighten young girls into hysterics;
tomorrow it Is likely to be the supei^
bright young man who holds up an
other at the point of an "unloaded”
revolver, only to find on pulling the
trigger that it was loaded. It is ex
ceedingly difficult to Imagine what
joy there can be in misplacing a chair
so that a person falls to the floor,
often to fils permanent Injury, And
yet there are those who profess to
consider this form of practical Joke
Sgtertaining.—Indian&polia Newi.
Bridegroom's Happy Lot.
As far as I can see, a bridegroom
does not have such a bad time of it
He has only got to have his trousers
properly creased, nail a smile on to his
face and say “1 will” in a clear voice
when the parson gives him the tip.
Nobody takes much notice of him; he
has no responsibilities and nothing to
remember. If the bridesmaids are
pretty, he can kiss them; if they are^
not, people only think the more of him
if he doesn't. “Such a nice, steady
fellow, and so fond of his wife that^he
would not look at the other girls.
“Some Women and Timothy,” by H.
B. Somerville.
Bees Have No Common Sense.
Henri Fabre, the “Insects’ Homer,"
as Maeterlinck calls him. asserts that
bees have no reason, only instinct, and
gives many proofs of his assertion.
For example, he opened the bottom of
a cell in course of construction, but
the bee that was building up the cell
and storing honey in it, quite uncon
scious of the fact that the food for the
future generation was oozing out, final
ly sealed up the top of the cell, never
paying any attention to the hole in the
bottom.

On Relations of Railroads and People
The Industrial leaders of this nation are talking t<
the public face to face through the columns qf thU PBPer
The time was when if a corporation had anything to hbj
to the people they sent a hired hand, whispered it througl
a lawyer or employed a lobbyist to explain it to the legls
1 lattfre, but the men who know and the men who do art
now talking over the fence to the man who plows.
! When the leading business men of this nation gei
"back to the soil” with their problems, strife and dissen
slon will disappear, for when men look Into each other’i
faces and smile there is a better day coming.

when asked to give his views t«i reference to relations existing between Up
railroad and the public said in part:
"Frequently we hear statements to the effect that these relations an
improving, that the era of railroad baiting has passed and that public sent!
ment now favors treating the railroads fairly. As yet this change In publl
sentiment. If any such there be. Is not effective In results.
It Is true that In the legislatures of the southwestern states during th
past winter there were fewer unreasonable and unreasoning laws passe
than usual, but a consideration of the hostile bills introduced shows tha
' there Is still reason for much disquiet even though they were defeated b
; more or less of a majority.
Moreover, the idea that the railroads have been harshly treated doe
not sedm to prevail in the offices of the State Railroad Commissions whin
r seem to cherish a notion that their business is not to act as an arbitrate
between the railroads and the people, but which proceed on the theory tha
3 the railroads are able to take care of themselves and that their duty is t
act as attorney for the people even though In so doing they deny Justic
to the railroads. It requires no argument to demonstrate that the railroad
3 are entitled to justice equally with other citizens and taxpayers. That the
; have not received it and are not receiving it Is perfectly susceptible t
proof. That they have practically no recourse in the courts has also bee
3 determined.
The situation therefore Is that the people, through their representative
must elect whether the services of the railroads shall be adequately compel
sated or not; and It requires no fortune teller or soothsayer to prediet th;
, In the long run the service will take the class that Is paid for and no bette
The natural competition between the railroads and the natural desii
/ to perform first-class service has heretofore resulted in giving the publ
much more than it was willing to pay for. Continuation of this will t
