In newspapers we pick up, we
find a lot of gush about the man
behind the counter and the man
behind the gun; the man behind
the buzz-saw and the man behind
the sou; the man behind the times
and the man behind the rents; the
man behind the plow-share and
the man behind the fence; the man
behind the whistle and the man
behind the cars; the man behind
the kodak and the man behind the
bars; the man behind the whiskers
and the man behind his lists and
every thing behind has been enter-
ed on the lists. But they've skip-
ped another fellow of whom notli-
ated ing has been said—the fellow who
and is even or a little way ahead, who
hool pays for what he gets, whose hills
are always signed—he's a blamed
sight more important than the man
who is behind. All the editors
and merchants, and the whole com-
mercial clan are indebted for exist-
ence to his honest fellowman. He

It has been fully explained that
static electricity differs from the
kind we use, in being stationary, j
The kind we use travels at a rate
of 1SC.000 miles a second and is
always in motion. Static collects
on the surface of things and hides
until it can cut up some caper or
jump off a cloud and frighten us.
Everybody has noticed bow fric-
tion generates static electricity,
