WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1). tIO.
Tlicro Is a power within you that
la greater than all the microbes In
the world.
When you reach the half-century
mark yon should not think of old
age or retirement; you should then
proceed to undertake the greatest
achievements of your life; nnd by
staying young you may see your
purpose through.
Give the bigger man on the Inside
full right of way. Believe In your
greater interior solf. Know thnt
you hao something within you thnt
is greater than any obstacle, cir
cumstance or difficulty that you can
possibly meet. Then, In the full
faith In this greater something pro
ceed with your work.
The reason way some towns grow
is because there are men of push and
energy in it. who are not afraid to
spend their time and money to boom
their town. They erect substantial
buildings, organize stock companies
and establish factories, secure rail
roads, work for public improvements
and use every means in their power
to Induce people to locate in their
city. Wherever they go they tell of
the advantages of their city, they
write about them in every letter,
they send circulars and newspapers
to all whom they think they can get
to visit the city, and when anyone
visits them, treats him so kindly
that ho falls in love with them and
their duty at once. It is enterprise
and everyone pulling together that
makes a progressive town and don't
let the fact escape your memory.
There is no reason why the hu
man racp should not be more highly
developed. If an ordinary weed
can be developed Into a beautiful
rose, ordinary human beings can be
developed Into men and women of
rare quality and high worth. We
are all children of nature; what is
applicable to one of nature's prod
ucts is applicable to all. If the des
ert on the plains can be made to
"blossom as the rose," the many
deserts we find in the character, the
mentality and the personality of the
average human being can bo made
to blossom in the same way. If
nature, when properly directed, can
cause a blackberry to become white,
why might not the same be done
with human character, no matter
how black or depraved it might bo?
If the worthless cactus can bo de
veloped into a thornless cactus that
is excellent for food, there is no rea
son why every worthless human In-j
dividual cannot become a most val
uable factor in the promotion of
wealth and happiness In the world, i
If we can remove the thorns from
the caetuB wo can remove the thorns I
(criminal tendencies) from those
who have wronged society, und it'
Is the business of great minds to
discover how.
IXH)KINO PLEASANT.
Why is it that most people, as they
walk along the streets or ride In tho
cars, hae such an unpleasant ex
pression? If ono will observe evon
casually tho people ho meets in a
day he will be Impressed with the
pained und sullen und disagreeable
countenances. Wo IJvo In a rush,
and the average jiorson is bent on
some errand or business and is ab
sorbed In that; wo are all rushing
to got something or somowhoro.
With this absorbing our attention wo
haven't time to attend to our facial
expression. We are not sure, how
ever, that this is a matter of per
missible Indifference. If ono does
not believe that his countennnco
adds to or detracts anything from
tho lives or expressions of others lot
him pause for a moment boforo that
now celebrated "Bllllkon." -It Is
almost Impossible to look at tho lit
tle Imp and not smile. Tho Japanese
teach their maids In tho hotols, and
those also In hlghor walks of Jlfo, tho
art of smiling. Thoy are compelled
to practice boforo a mirror. Ono
can not stay long In Japan without
being inoculated with tho disposition
to "look pleasant." Tho "look
pleasant, please," of tho photograph- j
er goes deeper than tho photograph ,
plate.
No one wants to associate long
with an nnlmatcd vinegar cruet.
A disposition Is easily guessed from
the angle of the corners of tho
mouth; n disposition Is moulded by
compelling thoso angles to turn up
or down. If a merry heart mnketh
a glad countennnco It Is also truo
that n glad countenance makcth a
merry henrt In the one who has It
and in tho one who beholds it. "Iron
sharponoth iron. So a ninn sharpen
eth the countennnco of nls friend."
TA1T OX THIS JEWS.
President Taft's tribute to Jewish
immigrants and Jewish citizenry, In
his recent talk to a delegation from
the American Association of Foreign
Langungo Newspapers, was merely
a bold endorsement of the truth.
Thnt tho Jews aa a class are
among our best citizens, supplying
fewer criminals and paupers thnn any
other, has long been recognized as a
fact, but there are some opponents
to immigration who would close
their eyes to anything which might
interfere with their cherished plans
for locking out tho foreigner. Cer
tain bills now pending In Congress
evoked tho visit from the foreign
editors and the President took occa
sion to voice his admiration and re
spect for the Jewish immigrant, vir
tually serving notice that no bill
which did not accord to him his Just
dues, would receive tho executive
signature.
The declaration will have a bene
ficial effect.
snip subsidies.
There Is a continuous discussion in
Congress with reference to ship sub
sidles. The American carrying
trade sixty years ago covered all
seas, and the Stars and Stripes could
bo seen in every port in the world.
The Hag at present Is conlined ex
clusively to our Interior and coast
trade. Two years ago when our
battleships circumnavigated the
globe, they were supplied with pro
visions and coal by foreign vessels.
lSx-Secretary of the Treasury Leslie
Shaw has recently made the start
ling announcement that Japan is de
termined to rule the Pacific or tinge
its waves with blood, and he has
ndded to this statement details as to
how Japan can do it. Ho says that
we hired twenty-seven foreign ships
to carry supplies for our around-the-world
battleships, and that one hos
tile shot from any country that owns
,a cannon would under international
law have sent every ono of these
twenty-seven ships home, for no
country can afford to have Its Hag in
volved In our quarrels. Ho further
stated that In 1909 the War Depart
ment hired over forty foreign ships
to do its work, and that we are send
ing food to the soldiers in the
Philippine, Islands In Japaneso ships.
He stated further that Japan can
put two hundred thousand soldiers
in Hawaii In thirty days without
firing a shot, and that It would take
us two years to put one hundred
thousand there. Tho Ex-Secretary
of the Treasury has a happy faculty
of graphic statement and illustra
tion, and his combination of arith
metic and rhetoric produce a vivid,
impressive and truo picture. For
better or worse, we are a first -class
power and a part of the interna
tional system. This has been brought
about through our Hawaii anil our
Philippines. The secure insularity
once afforded us by the two great
oceans is no longer ours. Wo must
be able to defend our frontiers.
Hawaii In mid Pacific and the Philip
pines in Asiatic waters. Wo cannot
do this without soldiers nnd ships,
not only war ships, but colliers and
commissary ships. How are wo to
get sailors and ships when, owing to
our tariff, other nations can build
ships and employ sailors for half the
fifth the price we must pay? As Mr.
case of Japan, for less thr.n one
fifth the prico we must pay. As Mr.
Shaw says, "These are not state se
crets. Everybody knows them ex
cept our voters. We are building
battleships, and this Is well, but
battleships without colliers and
transports are absolutely worthless.
In case of war wo could not get our
Atlantic fleet to San Francisco. No
vessel In the fleet can carry enough
coal to take It there. We have no
colliers, and could then hire none."
ISx-Secretary Shaw further stated
that if every powder mill In the U.
S. was to make powder twenty-four
hour per dny for thirty, days, tho
product would last our present navy
only two hours.

SNOW SUBWAYS.
They Have Such Things Over in
Sullivan Comity.
Subways in Sullivan county at the
present time are almost as common
as in New York. On account of tho
deep snow Nelson Monroe, a farm
er, living three miles from Monti
cello, on the road to Liberty, has
had to tunnel his entire premises In
order to go from his house to the cat
tle barns. His place is situated in a
valley where tho wind sweeps down
nnd the drifted snow has complete
ly submerged his house, shutting
out all trace of daylight and the
occupants are compelled to burn
lamps in going about the house.
Farmer Monroe's subway was dis
covered by his neighbors ono day
last week when they, went to make
an investigation of 'his non-appearance.
He met them at the mouth of
the tunnel and escorted them Into
the house whero his wife sat peeling
apples by lamplight. The party then
attempted to explore the subway
leading to tho barn, but was forced
to beat a hasty retreat when the
farmer's big Holsteln bull appeared
at the other end with the threaten
ing manners of a "subway hog."
Farmers living in the towns of
Forrestburg and Lumberland are
sharing their hay with tho wild deer
which have been forded to leave
their snowbound haunts to find
something to cat. Game wardens in
all tno towns where wild animals
are known to exist have given the
farmers instructions to feed them
at the expense of tho county. Scores
of partridges and English pheasants
have been found frozen to death In
the snow while the fox, lynx and
wildcat are a source of great annoy
ance to the farmer by their nightly
raid on his chicken coop.
