NEVER A SIGHT OF ENEMY
All Romance Has Departed From Mod-
em Sea Fighting, at Least on the
Big Vessels.
Somewhere In the North sea aboard
H. M. 8. Princess Royal—boarding a
first-line cruiser In the British navy in
an arm of the North sea Is not at all
the same affair as stumbling Into a

Eagle, twice as Interesting and only
half as dangerous. Officers who were

E. A. Wood, editor of the Man-
chester Journal was here for the
Democratic pow-wow Saturday re-
maining over Sunday to visit with
friends. Mr. Wood says this sea-

Manipulating a big gun In the tur-
ret of a battleship Is Just about as Im-
personal a form of fighting as exists.
In trench warfare you can hear the
shell coming in time to step out of Its
path (If you are lucky), but In turret
fighting you are shut up tightly In a
W heat planted early as they advis-
ed is in the worst shape.—Patriot-
Star.
Bro. Croxton, it beats the devil
how you misquote a fellow. What
we actually said, was: “That those

sinks your steel trap drowns you. And
If you finally defeat the enemy by
working a brass lever backward and
forward for five hours you wonder how
many of your shots were hits and how
many were mere waterspouts. In

This wax Is made from a dust beat-
en from the leaves of the raffia palm,
and afterwards boiled to a creamy
consistency which, when allowed to
cool, becomes somewhat brittle. This
practice of making the wax was first
begun on the northwest coast, near
Majunga; but the industry never
reached more than the experimental

STOLEN WISDOM.
Thundershowers and great men's
favors are always partial.
Everyone can master a grief but he
that has it.
Grieving for misfortunes is adding
gall to wormwood.
He confesses his guilt who flies from
his trial.
Hell and destruction are never full,
so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
What we cannot help is our mis-
fortune, not our fault.
Put your own shoulder to the wheel
and then call for Hercules.
it is no time to swap horses when
you are crossing the stream.
The humble are iu danger when the
powerful disagree.
It Is better to have a husband with-
out love, than jealous.
Hypocritical piety is double ini-
quity,
He that is busy is tempted but by
one devil, he that is idle by a legiou.
by departmental advisors is believ-
ed by the farmers to have been det-
rimental to them as a class, in this
neck o’ the woods.

James G. Carter, Tamatave.
Rape as a forage crop is highly
recommended for hogs whenever it
can be grown successfully. It should
not be planted in the fall of the I —
year with the expectation of its™,.

They must hunger in frost that

the way to make it so.

Woodrow Wilson Said:—“If a man does not provide for his
children, if he does not provide for all those dependent up-
on him, and if he has not that vision of conditions to comp,
and that care for the days that have not yet dawned, which
we sum up in the whole idea of thrift and saving, then he
ha> not opened his eyes to an)’ adequate conception of hu-
man life. W e are in this world to provide not for ourselves,
but for others, and that is the basis of economy.”
