A TRUE HERO
One of the Kind That Get Mtti
Itccournitlon Here Below
Did you ever know a liero rcul well
I know at least one and quite Intimate
ly Who I am afraid you would hard
ly recognize his name and besides It
would not be Just right to give It here
lie Is only an old bachelor who works
In a shop lie has been at one bench
for something like well from this you
may judge When he began he was
fresh from school lie lives in a little
frame house with an absurd little
back yard hardly more than big enough
for the syrlnga bush and the ash bar
rel
The first morning I started for the
shop he once told me I cut across
the back yard and climbed the fence
I have been doing it ever since and it
has been a long time In the tiny
lawn is worn a deep footpath The top
rail of the back fence Is smoothly pol
ished Ills feet wore the path Ills
hands polished the rail And all these
years he has worked at the same
bench doing the same work
Not that he lacks intelligence or that
he never had an ambition Intelligence
he most certainly has no mean lore of
books and a wide generous grasp of
affairs and the drift of things Ambi
tion he had too but that was before
his feet had worn a path across the
back yard I am quite sure that he
once loved In fact I suspect that I
know the one he loved and that she
loved him But he never married She
did though she has been widowed for
a dozen years
But why you ask with intelligence
and ambition did he stick to his
bench In an upper room of his little
cottage Is a window blind which is
never opened Behind that blind peer
ing out through the shutters with un
recognizing gaze sits one who bears
the outward form of manhood yet
lacks manhoods mental qualities The
one behind the blind is his brother
Downstairs puttering feebly about and
speattiug only in high thin querulous
tones is a wan and bent old woman
his mother For the sake of these two
he has worn the path in the lawn for
them he put away ambition for them
he stilled the love that once stirred
within him
He is past middle age now thin as to
hair stooped as to shoulders Yet is
there a tenderness in his voice a cheer
ful sweetness in hs smile a patient
resignation in his pale blue eyes that
make his manner of such mild gentle
ness as you might expect in a saint
From him comes never a word of com
plaint about him is no trace of dis
appointment no hint of bitterness
And so though few know his name
though he wears no glittering gauus
though he goes his way unhampered
by pomp or circumstance and all un
recognized by church or state I can
not help but count him one of earths
true heroes Dont you Sewell Ford

Moses and His Horns
Did Moses have horns Certainly
not but if you have ever had the
pleasure of examining a copy of Mi
chael Angelos great picture of The
Lawgiver you have wondered why
the great painter surmounted the pa
triarchal face gray beard and becom
ing priestly gown with a pair of horns
much resembling those of a two-year-old
animal of the bovine tribe The
reason is this Jeromes Bible the
Latin Vulgate tells that when Moses
came down from the mountain top his
face was radiant rayed with the
great light shining from his pure soul
In the Greek Septuagiut the transla
tion said it was cornua meaning
radiant Jerome used this later ver
sion in making his Latin Vulgate and
translated cornua as cornuta the
last meaning horned Angelo made
his picture accordingly
Soil Is a JLiivinp Organism
Formerly the soil was regarded as
mineral matter simply decayed rock
mixed with dead organic matter says
an exchange Now we know that the
soil is a living organism whose life
is as important as that of the animal
or the plant itself If the soil be killed
it is absolutely sterile In other wons
if the life of organisms which make
soil fertile are destroyed the soil is
incapable of producing a crop Plants
as a rule eat only mineral food such
as phosphoric acid potash and nitric
acid but animals usually eat only or
ganic foods such as fats sugars and
protein matter
His Case Xot So Bad After All
Ah its a sad old world sighed the
man who had been cheated out of 20

of my horses got his head fast in the
hayrack last night and broke his neck

A MANS BLUSHES
Oe Vk III Fly the Red Signal Blore
lulcky Ill an a Woman
if there is any one thing that makes
me want jet up and talk right out
In mectr i is to hear it said of a
man that hf blushes like a woman
said the hocuj philosopher to a repre
eentative of the New York Times
How women ever gained the repu
tation of having run up a corner in
blushes is beyond my comprehension
The report does her a grave injustice
for as a matter of fact she not only has
no monopoly in blushes but does not
make use of the share that properly
belongs to her There are some wo
men of course who blush if you even
blink an eyelid In their direction but
as a general thing men blush much
more readily and more violently than
women
This Is not a random statement that
I am making for the purpose of hear
ing myself talk but a sober deduction
founded on careful observation For
years I have made it a point to study
the sexes in moments of embarrass
ment and the statistics I have jotted
down prove that In nine cases out of
ten the average man will fly the red
signal of distress much more quickly
than the average woman This holds
good in all sorts of situations
Crack a joke at a mans expense
he blushes ply him with awkward
questions he blushes subject him to
some humiliation or let some ludicrous
accident befall him in public and he
straightway rivals the boiled lobster
in hue A woman may redden slightly
under the same circumstances but her
blush is diluted and perfunctory com
pared with the brilliant sunlit glow
that suffuses the countenance of man
I dont attempt to explain the phe
nomenonphysiologists and moralists
may do that if they can but merely
give the facts for what they are worth
in the hope that the next time a story
writer lias a crop of blushes to dispose
ofhe will ring a few changes on the
old phrase that has done duty for gen
erations and say of the heroine that
she blushed like a man
FIRE ALARM BOXES
The System In New York and Ilovr It
Is Operated
Greater New York is thickly studded
with lamppost lire alarm boxes The
directions on each box which is paint
ed red and is surmounted at night by a
red light are
Turn handle to right until door
opens then pull inside hook once and
shut the door The opening of the
box rings a large bell in the door
which alarm is intended to notify any
one in the neighborhood especially the
nearest policeman that the box has
been opened The policeman will then
make sure that this was not done out
of mischief by some one who wanted to
see the engines arrive or as recently
happened by a raw maidservant who
wanted to mail a letter When the in
side lever is pulled down and let go it
sets in motou a certain clockwork that
ticks out the number of the box three
times in succession at headquarters in
Sixty seventh street Not only that
but it makes a record upon a tape
showing the number of the box and the
exact seeond at which the lever was
pulled
A clerk who sits night and day be-
side the headquarters instrument notes
the number and selects from a drawer
a certain disk which when inserted in
the proper apparatus causes the alarm
to be rung in the station houses of the
district in which that firebox is situat
ed The average time required to se
lect this disk and send out the alarm is
ten seconds There are always two
clerks and sometimes three in this de
partment Not a word is spoken An
outsider would hardly know that an
alarm is going out In order to prevent
several alarms coming at the same
time from people who see the same fire
and run to different boxes no two
neighboring boxes are on the same cir

Can you do it
If a needle Is drawn a few times over
the ends of a horseshoe magnet it be
comes magnetized Push such a mag
netized needle through a small cork
Place the cork In a bowl of water tak
ing paius to see that the cork when It
floats on the water will carry the nee
dle in a horizontal position or on an
even keel Another way is to cut
about three inches from a hollow straw
such as is used to suck lemonade and
to push the needle inside the straw
The straw will float and carry the nee
dle Now observe what happens The
floating needle will slowly swing round
till it points north and south The
straw will behave in the same way
Push it in any other direction and the
moment it is free it swings back again
We do not know who first observed
the fact that a floating magnetized nee
die will point to the north Nor do we
know precisely when or where some
unknown inventor used this idea to
make a compass All we know is that
the Chinese made and used compasses
more than 2000 years ago
When men began perhaps 10000
years ago to sail upon the water they
used marks upon the shore to guide
them on their way Long years after
they observed that a certain star kept
at all times the same place in the sky
and they used this pole star as a guide
in steering their ships Today a steam
ship starting down the Hudson river
for Europe is guided by the pilot and
he uses the buoys beacons and other
guide marks to steer the ship down the
bay Off Sandy Hook he gives up the
ship to the captain who instructs the
helmsman to steer northeast by east
east by north or whatever course he
selects and the helmsman watching
the compass keeps the ship headed in
that direction Dallas News

CHOATES ADVICE
It Led U Choleric Client Into the
Iathn of 1euce
It seems always to have lain within
the power of the distinguished lawyer
and humorist Rufus Choate to lead
a choleric lient from ways of anger
into the piths of peace Just before
the war a southern gentleman was
dining with a friend in one of the best
hotels of Boston lie was of French
Creole extraction and his name was
Delacour says a writer in Lipplncotts
Magazine The waiter was a colored
man and the southerner gave his or
ders in a very domineering fashion
finding fault freely with what was put
before him and the way in which It
was served Finally the waiter became
incensed and told Mr Delacour to go
east south sou by west sou souwest to a place warm and remote The lat-
ter sprang furiously to his feet and
would have shot the offender dead if
west norwest ue ia1 not jeen restrained by his
wiser friend who said
You cant do that sort of thing here
You will have to remember where you
are
Do you suppose that I am going to
put up with such insolence and not
be revenged said the enraged man
Certainly not But do it by process
of law
The landlord was first interviewed
and the waiter discharged That was
not sufficient to satisfy the wounded
feelings of Mr Delacour He asked
who was the best lawyer in the city
and was told it was Rufus Choate
Making his way to his office he said
Mr Choate I want to engage you
in a case What will your retaining
i fee be
About 50
The check was made out and handed
over
Now said the lawyer what are
the facts of the case
no was told Said Mr Choate
thoughtfully
I know the United States law on
the subject well and I know the law
of the commonwealth of Massachu
setts and I can assure you sir that
there is no power on earth strong
enough to force you to go to that
place if you dont want to go And if
I were you I wouldnt
Well said the southerner accept

advice And they parted good friends
POULTRY POINTERS
Supply plenty of gravel to fowls that
are being fattened in confinement
Chickens should never be allowed to
go ou the roosts until ten or twelve
weeks old
Lime is a purifier and should be used
as a wash on the coops perches and
nest boxes
If a hen lays soft shelled eggs give
her plenty of gravel oyster shells and
crushed bone
Ducks should be allowed as much
liberty as possible They are not par
tial to confinement
Flat eggs eggs within eggs double
yolked eggs and other unnatural for
mations are due to the hens being over
fat
Geese may be fattened on any kind
of grain if fed all that they will eat for
about ten days before sending them to
market Corn peas and barley are
best
Young chicks of fancy breeding
should not be permitted to roost on
perches until after they are eight
months old as it often causes crooked
breast bones
Accumulating filth is a prolific source
of disease especially gapes After the
poultry yard is cleaned up sprinkle it

FORCING A FASHION
How IlntH Were Introduced to the
South African Savngen
AiiJfles De Vllliers a Boer was the
person who first Introduced hats among
the South African natives tays the
Hatters Gazette and profit not phi
lanthropy was his motive One morn
ing many years ago he chanced in Port
Elizabeth to come across a consign
ment of damaged hats offered for a
mere song He bought the whole lot
packed them away In his wagon and
started for Kaliirland
When he reached Tembulaud he un
loaded his stock opened his kegs of liq
uor without which no trade was made
in those days and began business But
he found his venture likely to prove an
unprofitable one The natives did not
want hats They wanted blankets and
beads and looking glasses and above
all liquor but they looked askance at
hats Then a bright idea came to An
dries He wanted to introduce those
hats He did introduce them His sim
ple expedient was to refuse to sell any
thing to a Kailir unless he bought a
hat too The Kaflirs wanted his goods
so they bought the hats
When a Kaflir buys anything he
feels bound to make use of it The na
tives therefore donned their head gear
and returned to their kraals Now ap
peared the brilliancy of the traders
Idea Fashion rules the world It Is as
strong in Africa as in America and
when those who had stayed at home
saw the travelers return in all the glo
ry of tins strange covering they felt
behindhand and old fashioned Their
desire to possess the latest thing in
hats became intense They paid An
dries a visit and his stock no longer
hung heavy upon his hands The hats
were soon sold
This happened some time ago and
now every trading store keeps a supply
of hrts constantly on hand They are
said to be manufactured expressly for
the natives and no one who glances at
the show will doubt it
A JUGGLERS TRICK
Clever Feat of IHiimIoh Performed Ii
an Cast Indian
The wonderful feats of East Indian
jugglers have formed the theme of
many a letter from travelers in the
orient but none is more surprising than
that for which an old seadog vouches
While he was an officer on board a
P and O steamship two natives came
aboard at Madras he says They were
a juggler and his assistant After they
had performed a number of minor
feats and gathered quite a crowd
around them they called for a sack
and a piece of sailcloth
These having been provided the
chief juggler made a small tentlike
structure with the canvas and some
stools He then placed his assistant
in the sack and allowed a sailor to tie
the knot which bound him a fast pris
oner This done the chief carried the
sack into an open space warning the
people to stand back some distance
and then carried on an animated con
versation with his assistant whose re
plies could be distinctly heard coming
from the sack Suddenly the chief
rushed forward picked up the sack
and dumped it overboard where to
the horror of the passengers and crew
it sank out of sight
Immediately the captain rushed for
ward and seized the man under the
full belief that he had murdered hi
companion but the juggler only
smiled and pointing to the canvas
asked that it be raised This was
done and the supposed drowned man
was discovert d squatting on the deck
So realistic had been the throwing
overboard however that it was some
time before the surprised passengers
could realize a murder had not been
committed
Church and Workmen
It would be an exaggeration to say
that all working people feel antago
nistic toward the church Their general
attituue is rather that of indifference
The thinking poor are well enough
aware that there is nothing unnatural
in the situation and that if the tables
were so turned that world advantage
shifted to their side it would proiably
remain unchanged At times their feel
ing especially toward the clergy is cu
riously sympathetic Say remarked
a labor leader of vivid mind to the
writer say Im awfnllj sorry for
ministers Most of them are real good
men They know well enough what
Christ meant and theyd like first rate
to preach if they dared But Lord
how can they Theyve got to draw
their salaries theyve got families to
support All this quite without a
touch of irony Vida D Scudder in

A HARROWING RIDE
Dlcken Trip by Slniccooach Krosa
Cleveland to Mnndnaky
When Charles Dickens visited Amer

from Cleveland to Sandusky O De
scribing his experience he wrote
At one time we were all thrown to
gether in a heap at the1 bottom of the
coach and at another we were crush
ing our heads against the roof Now
the coach was lylng on the tails of the
two wheelers and now It was rearing
up In the air The driver who certain
ly got over the ground in a manner
quite miraculous so twisted and turn
ed the team in forcing a passage cork
screw fashion through the bogs and
swamps that It was a common clrcum
stance on looking out of the window to
see the coachman with the ends of a
pair of reins in his hands apparently
driving nothing and the leaders star
ing unexpectedly at one from the back
of the coach as If they had some Idea
of getting up behind
A great portion of the way was over

is made by throwing trunks of trees
into a marsh and leaving them to set
tle there The very slightest of the
jolts with which the ponderous car
riage fell from log to log was enough
