OPPORTUNITY
AND THE MAN
AMONG the farmers' boys that
will scramble around the Christ
mas trees for presents or go cry
ing about because lie iliil not find
what he wanted in his stocking, will
be several future presidents of this
great " United States. Others are
destined to be governors, senators,
captains of industry, great million
aires, engineers, architects and other
movers of the world. It would be
safe to say that nine out of ten of
these boys are going to start life
without any special advantages. The
best equippment they can have is a
good training up to twenty years of
age on the farm, education in the
common schools and habits of industry,
honesty and sobriety. It is really a
misfortune to be born a son of very
rich parents. Few such ever achieve
much in life and those that do, ac
quire their fame in spite of and not on
account of their inherited riches.
Most sous of rich men goto the dogs
from idleness or dissipation or pass
through life'as colorless drones. As
we have said, some of our readers will
possibly bump up against the future
president during the Christmas holi
days. They will not know him, but
he'll be there—a strong, healthy,
open-faced, industrious boy, who
doesn't lose his temper when called
out of bed at four o'clock these cold
winter mornings to feed the stock.
Neither does he "sass" his mother,
play "hookey" from school or spend
his time around saloons or. corner
groceries.
Of course the boy is not to blame
entirely if he does not reach a high
mark iu life, for his health and par
ental care are to a great degree re
sponsible.
Tire boy of careful early training
and sound constitution must rise ac
cording to the ambition born and
developed in him; lie must learn to
dare and to do for that which is right
at all times, and with this determined
effort, where is the force that can
"hold him down ?"
— T. 8. PETTIJOHN, ESQ., the
hustling promoter of our rural tele
phone system, deserves every degree
of success lie has attained, for he is an
industrious and progressive man,
which we have learned through im
mediate acquaintance with him in his
labors on l lie "First Official Guide
and Directory" of the People's, Sys
tem, which is nearing completion in
our office. Such mtjn should be en
couraged by earnest support and
lauditions of praise while lie can ap
preciate it. Obituary notices are nice
for one's "friends to read (if they do
kuOw all they see) but wouldn't a
word or so, spoken in truth and praise,
be more beneficial to an enterprising
man, in his acme of ambition, than
all the lengthy obituaries and resolu
tions of respect after he has made his
great effort ? Therefore, citizens, be
brotherly and do or say what you can
for the advancement of any good
cause—let it be that of the Peoples'
Telephone System or any other that
is a benefit to you and mankind in
general.
— GENERAL CHAFFEE is the latest
of our warlike men to utter a note of
alarm. At a reception given him at
San Francisco several days ago, he
said: "When that war comes we
must be intelligently prepared for it.
Modern war is not what war used to
be. No one is now fitted to command
troops who is not a scientific and well
trained man. Medern war must bo
scientifically treated to save human
life. The Japanese nre a military
people, but we are not. We do not
get on with military preparations as
they do, but we should be ready for
conflicts." To be always ready for a
fight means that some day the person
who does so is likely to find what he
wants.
— AFFAIRS in Russia do not ap
pear to be improving. If there is a
seeming change for the better today,
tomorrow shows up with them as
worse than before. The people ap
pear to have lost all confidence in the
ptomises of their "little father," who
is engaged fnainly iu refusing to do
today what he promised to do yester
day. Even the optimistic Witte
seems to be at his wits' end and los
ing heart. Bad as things have been
in that country for months past, the
end does not seem to be iu sight yet,
and it will surprise no one'if a revolu
tion like that which once cost France
her best lives and deluged her soil
with her best blood breaks out.
— THE electrical car, in a speed
test a few days ago, outdistanced the
steam steed of the rail, which leads
us to assert that not many'years hence,
the electrical engine will be the prin- j
cipal power for transportation and 1
other purposes.

It was the night of the wedding of
Mrs. Baxter's youngest daughter. The
mother had bidden her a fond farewell
und watched her with her lord depart.
When the wedding guests all had gone
save those who were to remain all
night Mrs. Baxter went to her room,
dismissed her maid and gave full sway
to her unwanted hour of solitude. She
had loved her youngest daughter even
more devotedly and fondly than she
had her other two children, but she
was not grieving over her departure
now. Instead she was reveling in the
tirst taste of freedom she had known
in years, for her children—the prac
tical Walter, the domineering Julia and
the spoiled Dolly—had each and all in
turn and en concerto ruled each move
ment, great or small, of her life.
When five years ago her husband
had been the hero of a little adventure
that had shocked a shocking world and
her fond, foolish heart would have for
given hiin as he desired, Walter had
taken the affair iuto his hands, ably
seconded by his sister Julia, and before
the prostrated, bewildered wife had
fully grasped the situation she had
found herself divorced. David Baxter,
contrite und conciliatory, had been
most generous In settlements and had
then completely effaced himself from
the lives of all he held dear and had
taken up his abode in a distant city.
Dolly had been too young to know
much about the affair, and to her
mother's timid proposal that the fa
ther should be asked to give the hand
of his youngest and his favorite chi'.d
in marriage she had lent a willing ear,
but Walter aud Julia had emphatically
vetoed such an outrageous act.
An hour after the wedding ceremony
Walter had started on an important

business journey and Julia had taken
the same train to her home and chil
dren. Iler mother was under orders to
follow in a few days, when the big
house should be closed for the summer.
Julia had arranged for some cousins to
remain also until her departure.
"1 feel," thought Mrs. Baxter, with a
nervous little giggle, "as 1 used to
when I was a little girl and my moth
er went away and left yie alone In tho
house. It seems as If I ought to play
with the clock or do something forbid
den."
Suddenly she arose und went to her
writing desk. Opening a secret draw
er, she drew forth two photographs-
David Baxter, boyish and debonair,
aged twenty-one, and David Baxter,
shrewd and Jovial at the threshold of
middle age, as when she had last seen
him. There was also a slip of paper
bearing his present' address, for Mrs.
Baxter had surreptitiously mailed him
newspapers with marked articles from
time to time, though she had never
dared to write or hope to hear from
him.
A tender look came into her eyes,
and she swiftly reviewed lier past. "It
was my fault," she thought. "I neg
lected him for the children and their
friends. Their wishes came first."
She carefully restored the pictures
again and renewed her reverie.
"We were perfectly happy that first
year only—before David got so very
rich, and we lived in that dear little
cottage on the forty acres. I wish—l
will!"
A sudden hold resolution came to her,
End fearful lest her weak nature
should make her change her mind she
dashed off two letters, one of which
was to the people who lived in their
old home, which she had never sold,
but had allowed some needy friends to
occupy rent free.
Iler dreams that night were happy
pictures of woods, meadows and coun
try lanes. In the morning she looked
almost girlish. At the breakfast table
she made a welcome proposal to lier
cousins, who were left in charge of
her. She asked them If they would
not like to stay In the house for awhile
and entertain their friends as they will
ed, while sue made a visit to some
friends in the country.
"I am so tired out," she explained, i
"I need the rest and quiet, and there Is !
no need of the children knowing any
thing about It. I'll send my letters
hack here t<> be remalled to them." I
Tho cousins, who had ever disapprov
ed of the Julia and Walter espionage
over their mother, heartily concurred
in the little conspiracy. The following
day brought a response to her letter
to the farm. They would be orrfy too
happy to receive her, not as a summer
boarder, but as a guest. The next
train bore her to her old home, where
«he planned to stay a few weeks and

ory and associations.
She gave a little cry of pleasure as
they drove up to The Nutshell, us Da

to have stood still. The vine covered

arbor were tho same- she went over

led her through the woods. Not a

when he led her to a certain tree apart

"There," he said. "Now I feel thirty
years younger, and, Helen, you look
not a year older than you did when we
were here last."
"Oh, David! When I was left alone
there in that big house the longing
came to see you once more, but I
didn't dare hope you would come."
"I have been waiting for the letter
you wrote for live long years!"
"Have you, David? I didn't want a
divorce—it was Julia and Walter"—
"Yes, I know. It was always Julia
and Walter, but their day is over."
"I thought we'd have a little visit
here in our old home for Just this once,
and no one need know."'
"Helen," he said gravely, "you can't

came. I have the license, and we will
either goto the old parsonage or have
a little wedding up there at the house.

A small boy had been punished and
in consequence was feeling at enmity
with all the world, but \£itli his father
in particular. When lie came to say
his prayers at night he gabbled through
them at a high rate of speed, and while
asking for the customary blessing on
all the other members of the family,
including the cat, he left out his of
fending parent.
Ills mother understood, but thought
it best to "appeal to his better self."
"Harold," she said sweetly, "what
abDUt papa? You forget, dear."
"Didn't. Don't want papa blessed!"
"Why, Harold, when you love him
so! Just think, dear. Papa has gone
downtown now, and how would you
feci If he got lost or hurt because you
hadn't prayed for him?"
This rather worked on the boy's
mind, and slowly he began to clamber
out of bed, when just as he got on his
knees he heard the familiar click of
his father's key in the lock. "I guess
I'll risk it!" he announced and quick
as a wink jumped back into bed.—Lip

The Sausons have a place in French
history, not only because they contin
ued so long to hold their odious otHee,
but because two of their number, a
father and son, held otlice during the
evil days of the reign of terror, when
they were kept so busily engaged with
their guillotine. The last of the San
son dynasty was dismissed from his
post in the reign of Louis Philippe, in
1847, under remarkable circumstances.
Although he had inherited a comforta
ble fortune from his father, the exe
cutioner of the revolution, he got into
pecuniary difficulties aud was guilty of
pawning his guillotine, surely the most
lugubrious pledge ever taken by mor
tal pawnbroker. An order cane from
the procurator general for the execu
tion of a criminal, and the necessary
apparatus was not forthcoming. The
prison authorities had perforce to get
it out of pawn, and the execution took
[dace. But the last of the Sansons was
informed that his services would no
longer be required. What'became of
him afterwrrd does not appear to bo

All through the delirium Jack Irwin
was haunted by the vision of one face,
lio real did it seem that when at last
the crisis came and lie emerged, weak
uud tired, from the dream world in
which he had lived for days he in
stinctively looked about for the reality.
Instead there were only his mother,
drawn a little out of her natural re
pression by her joy at his recovery;
the doctor and a grim faced nurse.
"Where's the other one?" he demand
ed as he looked about.
"What other one?" laughed the doc
tor.
"That girl with the blue eyes," ho
asked impatiently. "Can't you remem
ber?"
Mrs. Irwin came forward and laid a
hand upon his forehead. dear
boy," she explained, "you must remem
ber that you have been in a delirium
for a long time. It must be one of the
dream fancies to which you allude."
"I wish I could get back to where she
is," he sighed, and then he dropped off
to sleep again.
When he opened his eyes again there
was only the nurse, and she would not
let him talk of his delusions, yet some
how he could not brihg himself to be
lieve that this was a part of his dream.
He could recall in a hazy way many
of the phantasies through which he had
passed, but it was not the same with
the girl. There had been something
real, something tangible, about her. He
could remember that all through those
disordered hours he could see her face
smiling at him and beckoning him on
to safety when the others sought to
lure him into danger. He could not
believe, even now, that Ik was but a
figment of a fever fired brain.
And yet convalescence passed, and
ho took up his work again. The blue
eyed girl remained only a dream,

lie was thinking of her one after
noon when l»is superintendent came
In and reported that Cassidy, the en
gineer, had been badly hurt by being
caught In the machinery.
Irwin, always thoughtful of his men,
gave orders that he should have the
best of care, and that evening, on his
way home, he stopped In hims .lf to ser
how the injured man was getting
along.
"Nicely, Mr. Irwin," said the grate
ful man."The doctor did all he could
to make me easy, and I have a nurse*
that's an angel from heaven."
"Didn't know they had gone Into the
nursing business," laughed Irwin.
"Walt until you see her," warned
the engineer. "Sfie'll be up in a min
ute; she's g.)iie after some broth. '*
There was the soft sotrtid of a door
opening and Irwin rose to greet the
nurse. As he did so he grasped the
chair for support. It was his dream
girl, the girl who every one had sought
to convince him was a myth.
She came forward with a little bow,
and Cassidy, with a wave of his hand,
Introduced her.
"I *hlnk I must have seen you some
where before," suggested Irwin tenta
tively.
"No," she said evenly, "I think not."
"I'm certain that I have,"he per
sisted. liut she would not continue
the discussion, and search his memory
as he would he could not remember
Edna Clintock.
That first visit was but one of many,
and he soon discovered the hour at
which the nurse took her daily walk
and was generally ready to leave
about the time she emerged from the
house.
lie was never obtrusive, but In a
quiet, masterful way he suited his
steps to hers and continued to walk
with her.
Several weeks had passed and "as
sidy was almost ready to return to
work when Irwin spoke at last. They
had told him that she was leaving In
the morning, and though she had pur
posely delayed her walk until long
after she supposed Irwin had gone his
tall figure loomed up before her at the
gate. Falling Into step he slipped her
arm through' Ills.
"I thought 3'ou had gone long ago,"
she faltered.
"Did you suppose that I woull let
you slip out of my life again?? he
lisked.
"Again?" she echoed curiously.
Briefly he recounted his strange ex
perience. "You havo been in my
i thoughts, sleeping and waking, ever
siuce," he concluded. "You are the
only woman I can ever love, and I
want you for my wife,"
"I must not," she cried, frightened.

Where IN the Soul Located?
At different periods in history since
men first became imbued with the idea
that human beings were possessed of
souls various ideas have been ad
vanced as to the exact spot which that
intangible something claims as its
scat Within the past thousand years
reputed authorities on psychology have
located it in widely separated sections
of the brain as well as in several other
organs of the body, such as the heart,
liver, spleen and spinal cord. About
the year 1889 I)r. A. 11. Stevens of
San Francisco gave the world his
views on the subject, declaring that he
believed it to be situated in that por
tion of the brain known to the anato
mists as the corpus callosum. More
.than 1,500 years before the speculative
philosopher above mentioned startled
Ihe world with ills announcement of
the discovery of the soul's seat it was
believed in Greece, Koine and Egypt
that it was located in the pineal gland
of the brain. This gland is a little sac
containing calcareous grit ami for
which the physiologists have not dis
covered any particular use. The dis
cussion of the subject is an interest
ing one, but it is plain that it is a
matter wholly within the unknowable
and undiscoverablc.

Even a bishop shall not be deemed
guiltless by the omnipotent housekeep

Episcopal clergyman.
"We had the bishop coming to spend
the night with us a few years ago,"
said he,"and the whole house was in
a bustle from the preparations my
housekeeper made. The bishop came
and made a pleasant visit. lie had to
go away the next morning early.
"Soon jjfter he started the housekeep
er came to me, trouble writ large 011

" "Why, what's the matter?' I asked.
'Arc you in trouble?'
"She confessed that she was.
" 'What is it?' I asked.
"'I mustn't tdl you; I can't tell you,'
she unsweiv l.
" 'Hut I insist on knowing,' I retort
ed firmly.
" 'Well, said she, 'the bishop left ear
ly this morning, before most of us got
up, and some of the sheets are miss

Handling; a Ron Conn!rietor.
[ Snake dealers in South America liavo
j a line contempt for their squirming
and venomous wares, though it is
sometimes difficult to Induce ship cap
tains to carry them as freight. The
snake dealers handle the boa constric
tor with £vcat deftness. This serpent
bites, but Ills bite is not venomous, so
that the thief danger to the handler
is fr&m the serpent's enormously pow
erful muscles. The dealers have learn
ed that the boa to be really dangerous
must have a fulcrum in the shape of
something around which he may coll
his tall. The boa is, in fact, a lever In
which the ordinary arrangement is
power, weight, fulcrum. Knowing this,
the dealers drop a soft hat over his
head, that he may neither see nor bite,
and then snatch him so suddenly from
his resting place that he has no op
portunity to brace himself by seizing
a fixed object with his tail. After that
the essential tiling Is to see that he
is not brought within distance of any
such object.

Reward will be paid to any
person who can find one atom
of opium, chloral, morphine,
cocaine, ether or chloroform
in, any form in any of Dr.
Miles' Remedies.
This reward is offered because
certain unscrupulous persons
make false statements about
these remedies. It is under
stood that this reward applies
only to foods purchased in the
open market, which have not
been tampered with in any way.
Dr. Miles' remedies cure by
their soothing, nourishing',
strengthening and invigorat
ing effects upon the nervous
system, and not by paralyzing
and weakening the nerves as
would be the case if these drugs
were used.
For this reason Dr. Miles'
Anti-Pain Pills are universally
considered the best pain remedy
"I have suffered for 25 years with
sovero pains in my head, heart and
back, anu have tried everything 1
could Ret. and could not find any relief
until 1 irot a box of Dr. Miles' Anti
rain Pills. Is tftcred as long as 12
hours at a time with such severe
pains tint I fe ired I wo-:ld lose my
mind. Tho Anti-Pain Pills gave ma
relief In from 30 to 20 minutes. I do
not have to uso Morphine any more.
I wish you would publish th.'s so that
Other sufferers nnv find relief."
