YOD SAN GET " CHATTEL MORTGAGE BLANKS OF THE FRONTIER SALE BILLS I THE MYSTERY OF MARS. Old but Unsolved Problem, Is There Animal Life on the Planet? With a planet so old as Mars and so far along in the process of life ex tinction the conditions of life would be severe, and only a highly Intellectual and scientifically developed race could endure and master them. The engi neering skill and constructive capacity to control the annual floods from ttje poles, store the waters and build the thousands of miles of huge canals would require scientific knowledge be yond that possessed by us at the pres ent time and financial resources in ex cess of those we have yet accumulat ed. The nation that finds the digging of a little ditch at Panama so great a task would be helpless in the face of such a problem as these thousands of miles of Martian canals, if, indeed, ca nals they be. Yet, in view of the greater life age of Mars, such higher intelligence would be natural in the regular process of development, as suming that it has ever been the abode of intellectual life. Scientists are In the main in a re ceptive state on this subject. They are not ready to admit that the exist ence of life on that planet has been proved. They do not deny it, but call for greater proof than a plausible the ory. Among others than scientists there is in the tnain a disposition not to accept the Martian human life theory or the theory of life on any of the thousands of spheres that wheel and glisten in illimitable space. They seem to think that such a theory con flicts with religion and dwarfs man and his importance in the scheme of creation. This seems to be a very narrow view to take, since it appears to set bounds upon the infinite power and creative desires of the Almighty, whose great scheme of mortal and immortal life is not necessarily confined to a single planet or the few billions of human beings who are born and die upon it. As to dwarfing the importance of man, a few billions more added to the bil lions on earth would make little differ ence. Man is at best a small and in significant creature, but if all embrac ing wisdom, power and love takes so licitous note of him it would be limit ing those infinite qualties to say that one planet must be his abiding place. Therefore the question of human in telligence on Mars or any other planet of the solar system or *he other great systems in remote space should be purely and simply a scientific one, to be accepted as true only when proved, but not to be rejected through senti ment or for any other reason whatever except lack of proof.—St. Louis Star. An Oriental Blessing. A well known representative from China, who was a guest at a wedding In a capital city, was approached after the ceremony by the best man and Jocularly asked to go over to the young couple and pronounce a parental blessing. The obliging dignitary com plied with pleasure. Placing his hands on the blushing bride and shaking bridegroom, he said: “May every new year bless you with a man-child off spring until they shall number twenty five In all. May these twenty-five man children offspring present you with twenty-five times twenty-five grand children, and may these grandchil dren”— But the little bride grew hysterical about this time, and the oriental bless ing was ended amid the laughter of the guests.—Ladles’ Home Journal. A Cowboy 8pider. "Faking aside,” said the nature stu dent, “there Is in New Zealand a cow boy spider. This creature throws a coll of web like a lasso over Its prey’s head, then adds more nnd more colls nnd when the prey Is bound hand and foot devours it. “There is a Borneo spider that in the spring days plays a fiddle. It Is a common thing for a lovesick spider to dance before his girl, but this Borneo boy my drawing his arm across Ills turn produces a sweet, clear note. Whenever he sees a good looking young lady spider he stops and gives her a tune, hoping to win her by mu sic.”—Philadelphia Bulletin. Miners’ Freedom From Cancer. “Miners never have cancer. In thir ty-five years’ practice in a mining town I haven't had a single cancerous pa tient.” “And to what, doctor, do you impute this immunity?” “Miners are singularly cleanly. They bathe every day. They rarely smoke. They are a temperate and regular set. Above all”— The physician smiled grimly. “Miners,” he said, “die young. Can cer is an old age disease. And there really is the reason of the miner's can cerous immunity.” — Cincinnati En quirer. Not the Same. “Excuse me,” he said as he entered the public library at Pegantic, “but do you have any social registers here?” “No, we hain’t,” said the librarian, with considerable hauteur. “This hero bulldin’ is het up by steam, and wo hain’t got nothin’ but radiators, nnd we don’t allow no settln’ around with your feet on to them neither. The near est thing we got to a social registry in this town is the postoffice stove.”—I.ip pincott's. A Reminder. Mamma—What are you doing with that string, Lola? Lola (aged five)— Tyin’ it on my finger, mamma, so if I ferget anything I’ll be sure to ’member It.—Chicago News. That experience which does not make us better makes us worse.** Holmes.
