A man who was afraid of thun
der crawled into a hollow log as a
place of safety during a thunder
storm. The thunder rolled and the
rain poured down in torrents, and
the old log began to swell till the
poor fellow was wedged in so tight
that he could not get out. All his
past sins began passing before him.
Suddenly he remembered he hadn't
paid his newspaper subscription,
and he felt so small that he was
able to back right out. S
The man who fell from the top
of a sixteen story building, and
who, as he passed each flat,called
out, "all right so far," was
certainly the champion optimist.
Altho but a story, it well illus
trates the determination necessary
to succeed in life. The faculty of
looking upon the bright side and
of being undaunted by difficulties,
of temporary failure, largely ex
plains the go aheadriess and suc
cesses of the American people.
This is the most dangerous time
of the year to catch cold, and it is
the hardest time to cure it. If
you should take cold a few doses
of Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup
will act very promptly. Its laxa
tive principle cures the cold by
driving it from the system by a
gentle but natural action of the
bowels. Children especially like
Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup,
as it tastes so good, nearly like
maple sugar. It is sold by all
druggists.
The enterprising farmer stops
hot for weather's chilling blast,
but sows his oats and gets his corn
ready, and when the genial sun
breaks forth and the warm south
winds blow, his grain is ready to
shoot forth and grow,and at harvest
time is fully matured and he is
counted one of the lucky ones whom
Dame Nature always favors with
the finest crops while his unfortu
nate neighbor,who rjsts on his oars
crying time enough yet, wonders
why it is his crops should always
be a failure,prosperity withheld arid
life but a burden to bear.
Did you ever think what your
ad in the newspaper is doing for
you? When you close your store
in the evening and go home to your
family and fireside, not thinking
about your business at all^then it
is that the paper is being pored
over in hundreds of homes—the
homes from which your tfade is
drawn. And there is your ad do
ing its work silently, but surely,
and if you have taken the pains to
make it attractive its work will
be all the more attractive. This is
repeated over and over again, and
is no doubt what inspired some
writer to call newspaper advertis
inga "silent drummer." U"
Last week a large number of
friends gathered at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. L. McDonald on the
north side to a farewell party in
honor of Mrs. McDonald's mother,
Mrs. C.McConnell, who leaves Fri
day evening for, Austin, Minn.,
and points east where she will
spend several months visiting rela
tives and freinds on her return trip
home to Ontario, Can. After pas
sing a very enjoyable evening light
refreshments were served. Leav
ing a beautiful gift as a token of
remembrance they departed for
their respective homes. Her daugh
ter,Mrs. McDonald accompanied her
as far as Waseca,Minn.
Every growing ambitious town
is composed of three elements.
Those who work patriotically,
vigorously and intelligently for
its advancement those who are
in' a state of apathy or indiffer
ence, and those who take a curious
delight in discouraging the effort
of others by ridicule, and' by a
persistent denial that any progress
can or has been accomplished, and
by boasts of every other towft be
sides their own. The last class are
called croakers,but they are really
something Worse, for'their opposi
tion does not arise simply from
despondency but from that unenvi
able spirit that will neither act
itself or suffer others to act.

driven out of existence by the loco

multiplied exceedingly and in

the Department of Agriculture
reports that in eleven years the
number of horses in this country
has increased from under fourteen
to more than twenty millions, the
aggregate farm value of them has
advanced from less than a half
billion to very nearly two billions,
and the average value of the ani

from $34.26 in 1898 to $95.64 in
1909. Perhaps some of our timid

The death rate among the Sioux
Indians of South Dakota from the
ravages of tuberculosois is increas
ing at an alarming extent and
threatens to eventually extinguish
the race. In the reservation op
posite this city it ,is said that
deaths from consumption exceed
all other causes combined. Recent
ly the board of Indian commis
sioners reported to the president
in Washington that nothing but
energetic and radical measures by
the government would prevent
the complete annihilation of thd
Sioux Indians from this cause. It
is understood the president prom
ised the board an increase of hos
pital facilities, more physicians,
better isolation, outdoor tents,
etc., and to check the sale of li
quor among the Indians, the lat
ter provision being the one most
strongly urged by the board to
ameliorate present conditions.—•

A clergyman in a neighboring
town had been much annoyed by
the way members of the congrega
tion had of looking around to take
stock of late comers. After endur
ing it for soirfe time he said on en
tering the reading desk one Sun
day: "Brethren I regret to see
that your attention is called away
from your religious duties by
the natural desire to see who
comes in behind you. I propose
henceforth to save you the troub
le by naming each person who
may enter, and hope that the
services may be allowed to proceed
without interruption." He then
began: "Dearly beloved" but
paused half way to interlopate
"Mr. Stubbins and his Wife and
daughter," Mr. Stubbins looked
rather surprised, but the minister
with perfect gravity, resumed, his
exhortation. Presently he again
paused: "Mr. Curtis and William
Daggle." The abashed congre
gation kept their eyes studiously
bent on their books. The service
continued in the most orderly man
ner the parson interrupting himself
every now and tnen to nnme some
newcomer. At last he said still
with the most perfect gravity:
"Mrs. Symons in a new bonnet.*-'
In a moment he felt his mistake,
but it was too late. Every fem
inine head in the congregation
had turned around.
A newspaper, if it has any
brains,conscience and muscle back
of it, must decide continually be
tween doing its duty and injuring
its pocket. In any position but
that of an editor,the public is able
to separate the individual home
from the collective citizen. But
if an editor does not please them
its at his pockets they aim. Thus
it is the newspapers learn who
their friends are. The man who
reads the newspaper and admires
it all the year around, yet gives
his business support to some other
concern, whose principles or the
actions of its editor he detests,
is not a friend to the former news
paper. Admiration alone will not
run a newspaper. There are too
many men who expect an editor to
slave in defence of their Det no
tions and hobbies, advocates their
views against the strongest oppos
ition and cobly withhold the busi
ness support by which alone a
country newspaper can live. Talk
about a paper having la public duty
to perform and an editor having
to work for for his principles, is

'"At half past four, Everything portended
diaster to the allies and victory to the French.
To Wellington it appeared that the hour of fate
had come. 'O, that night or Blucher would
come!' said he, as he saw his lines Stagger and
his squares quiver under the renewed assaults of
the French. The uncertain factor in the con
flict was Blucher and his forty thousand Prus
•dans. If he should come without Grouchy upon
his rear then Napoleon would be defeated but
if Grouchy should hold him back or beat him
to the field, then not only was the allied cause
lost in this bloody work at Waterloo,but the old
Bourbonism pf jEurope would he forever ex
ploded and blown away in smoke. By five
o'clock there were rumors of Blucher's coming.
Soon afterwards bugles were heard far to the
French right, and the noise of the approaching
army became ominotis in the distance* Was it
Blucher or Grouchy?"
"It was Blucher. The Prussian banners
shot up in the horizon With Napoleon it
now or never. The hour of his destiny had
come. His sun of Austerliti [hung low in the
center? Should he not, he was hopelessly ir
retrievably ruined. None knew it better than
he. The fate of Imperial France, which he had
builded with his genius and defended with his
sword, hung trembling in the balance. He
called out four battalions of his veterans, and
then the Old Guard. More than a hundred
times in the last fifteen years had that Guard
been thrown upon the enemy and had never yet
been repulsed. It deemed itself invincible.
Would this hour add another to its long list
of victorious charges? At a little after seven
o'clock in the evening, just as the June sun
was setting in the horizon of fated France, the
bugle sounded, and the finest body of horsemen
that ever careered over the field of battle started
to meet its doom on the bristling squares of
Wellington. Those grim and fearless horsemen
went to their fate like heroes. The charge
rolled on like an avalanche. It broke upon
the squares. They reeled under the shock, then
reformed and stood fast. Round and round tho«e"
immovable lines the fierce soldiers of the Em
pire beat with unavailing courage. Then arose
from the lips of those who witnessed the desper*
ate struggle the fatal cry, "La Garde reculee, La
Garde reculee!" V" 1
"It was indeed true. The Old Guard was
repulsed, broken, ruined. Vainly did Marshal
Ney, glorious in bis impetuous despair, attempt
to stay the tide of destruction, Five horses had
been shot under him. He was on foot with the
common soldiers. His hat was gfne. He was
covered with dust and blood but .his grim face

The English, now inspired by the hope of al
most certain victory, threw forward their lines,
and the Prussian army rushed in from the right.
Napoleon threw a single regiment of the Guard
into a square, and strove to rally the fugitives
around this nucleus of resistance. The
allies bore down upon it, and numberless bat
teries were opened on this last heroic band of
the defenders if the glory of France.. There
they stood. 'Surrender, brave Frenchmen!'
cried an English officer, dashing up with a flag
and struck with admiration at the dauntless
lines which had planted themselves before the
victorious allies for no other purpose than to
reach a glorious death. 'The Old Guard dies,
