TI1E PATH TO THE lUSlTF.E. '
The narrow path that we use J io tread J
Led straight away from the farmyard |
gate.
And down the lane to the pasture lot.
Where for our coming the cows would
wait.
Between its borders of grass and weed;
It bore the 'wints of our restless feet.
That stepped so blithe through the early
dews.
Or lagged .-.long in the pulsing heat.
Above our heads curved a roof of blue.
Where oft we saw the ghost of the moon
. Go drifting by with tire sun tipped clouds
That sailed away to the port of noon.
From nodding thistle and mullein stalk
The meadow larks througn the si. -iner
% sang,
And from the stubbie of harvest fields
The bob white's call through the stillness
r-ng.
O little path of the long ago.
I've wandered far from your beaten dust,
And stumbled oft in my journeys wide.
And lost He Kev to mv cnuaisn trust;
But now and ti:en in my waking dreams
I stand once more bv the pasture wall,
And hear again from the harvest nelds
The cheerful sound of the bob white's
call.

"Hey, Billy! let me have a ride?"
cried a boyish voice, and Billy pulled
up his handsome roan mount to speak
to his friend, who came running down
the dusty country road very hastily {
to meet him.
"I'm afraid I can't, Hal," Billy an- i
swered regretfully, sorry that he
could not oblige his friend in this request.
"I've just had him down to \
the blacksmith shop at the cross-}
' roads, and must get home and feed j
him and rub him down before the j
doctor comes in with tthe machine.
He wants to drive the horse this afternoon,
out somewhere where he
can't go in the automobile, on account
of the bad, sandy roads."
Hal was stroking'the smooth side
of the fine horse while Billy talked.
Now he iooked up and persisted in
his request.
? "But I won't hinder you. Just
take me up behind, for a ride, and
I'll walk back." he said.
Billy saw that he would have to
he quite frank with Hal. "No. Dootor
Barnes raid, when I first went
to help around the stable, .that I
should never let any one else ride
Arrow. So you see I really can't. I'd
like to let you have a ride, but I must
get him home as soon as I can, now.
Good-bye," and Billy was of? at a
trot, while Hal stood at the gate and
watched horse and rider until they
were out of sight.
Billy was thinking deeply as he
rode along. The subject was.one that
often occupied his thoughts, when he
had the horse out for exercise, or was
busy with his work about the stables
at the doctor's home.
"Too bad that Hal can't have my
place at the doctor's, and I have what
t I want. I think this is a mixed up j
old world anyway. We get the things j
we don't care a snap about, and the
things -ve'd give our heads for, almost,
don't come our way." "Get
along, Arrow, old fellow, I can't wait
for you to eat grass to-day," and he
urged the horse into a trot. Sometimes
Billy had time to let him crop,
a particular fine bunch of grass, and
Arrow remembered it.
Into the village street they turned
from the country road in a few minutes,
and trotted down the long,
straight thoroughfare. He rode past
the post-office and general store, with
it" porch decoration of idlers: past
the pretty notion-store windows, and
th: town hall; and on toward the
doctor's home, at the extreme other
_ end of the street.
But they did not get home without
an interruption. As they went on
down the street, and past several
houses, Billy saw.ahead the familiar
automobile of his employer standing
in front of a house.
"Wonder who is sick at Harris'?"
he thought, and glanced again at the
car as he neared it. "Hello, doctor
has Myrtle out with him," he added
as he saw the golden head of the
doctor's little girl over the back of
the seat.
Myrtle saw him at the same instant,
turning around at the sound
of hoofs in the street. She smiled
and waved her chubby hand as he
passed, and h^ waved back, for they
were very good friends.
Almost as soon as he had gone
past the car this happened. He heard
it start and looked back, expecting
to see the doctor in his seat, with his
hand on the lever; but he saw instead
Myrtle, grasping it with chubby fin
gers, laugmng miscmevuu&i}, ucr
curls tossed back and her face alight
with daring.
Bill gave one gasp, and pulled the
roan around so suddenly that he
' wheeled on two feet. Even as he
did so, the big car gained headway,
and the child in it, realizing something
of her danger, but ignorant
how to avert it, or stop the car.
screamed helplessly, "Oh, Billy, come,
make it stop, quick!"
Even as she spoke the machine
passed the boy and horse, running so
smoothly and swiftly that he paled
at the danger before the chiid. The
thought came: "If he had made me
chauffeur, instead of stable boy, as
I wanted him to do, this would not
have happened." For only the day
before, the man who had held that
pocition?the place Billy wanted with
all his machinery-loving heart?had !
been discharged for drunkenness.
Then came the plan. Quick as a
I flash he urged the roan after the machine,
kicking his feet free of the stirrups
as he iieared the automobile.
The car ran faster and faster?what
he was going to try, must be done
quickly.
And then the doctor came out just
in time to see what Billy was going <
to do, and to stand breathless while 1
his child in the big car, and his stable
boy on the splendid roan horse
ran the race that was the talk of
the village for months afterward.
When Billy was abreast of the car
?and it took good work on the part
of both horse and rider to achieve
that?he called to the terror-stricken
little offender:
"Get over on one side?quick?
make room for me?I'm going to
jump." And as she crept away to
the other side, he leaped from the
hack of the running horse and fell
all in heap?but in the car.
It was but the work of a moment,
to gather himself up and reverse the ,
lever. The next moment he had the ,
steering wheel in his hand, and had ,
the car turned, and then ran back to
where a wildly excited group stood
and waited, with the frantic father.
Arrow slackened'his speed gradually,
and when he quite understood that
his rider had suddenly disappeared,
he stopped and cropped an especially !
fine bunch of grass with supreme in- 1
difference to races or runaway cars. i
"I would like to do something to
show you how I appreciate your act, <
and the courage and quickness of | <
thought that it showed," said the ,
doctor to Billy in a talk that "was ex- 1
ceedingly uncomfortable, and yet (
pleasant, to that praise-shunning
young man. And at 'hat, Billy's
eyes suddenly brightened, and he
spoke: ?
"If you would let me run the machine
for you. instead of getting an- >
other man, as you said you were i 1
Trtino- ?" hp hesran. "I know | 1
bwiwb ?o
all about it, sir. I've studied it up, <
every spare minute since I've been
here. I thought if I "ever got a
chance to run one?I'^e always been
crazy over machinery, tir, and?"
And then the doctor put a few ques- <
tions that settled the matter.
"You shall run it for me from this .
day, until you get something better,"
me doctor said quietly. "And, if
you care to study machinery?if you
have any desire to make an expert
of yourself?I have a brother in that
line of business, and I think we can '
arrange to lc : you learn all you want 1
a^bout wheels and things."
Then rII at once Billy realized that
this is not such a mixed up old world, ]
after all; and that if a fellow is faithful
in what he has to do, and what <
com - t"> him, even suddenly and un' <
expectedly, there may be chances for (
him to get what he wants with all
his heart?that tT-e things he "would
give his head for," as he had put it,
were, after ah, some of them, apt to
come his way.?Young Peoples

DOX'T CUT YOUR SLEEP SHORT.
British Scientists Frown On the
Wellington Rule.
The papers read in the physiological
section of the British Association
for the Advancement of Science discussing
sleep and rest were all opposed
to the old idea that mankind
should be content with short slumber.
The Duke of Wellington's dictum
of sir hours for a man, seven <
fbr a woman and eight for a fool
went by the board.
Francis Dyke Acland urged the
necessity for plenty of sleep for the
young as necessary (to their bodily
- tr. .j
and mental development, ne saiu
that most of a boy's growth was done
in bed. He quoted a letter from the
head master of a large school, where
the breakfast hour had been changed
from 7 to 8 o'clock, as saying that
the whole school was brighter and
doing better work.
Dr. Gotch said that the healthiqpt
sleep was dreamless. He mentioned
Lord Kitchener's faculty of being
able to go into dreamless sleep at any
moment. .
Professor Lewis said that the normal
sleep of a laboring man during
the first half hour was very deep and
then grew shallower.
Professor Meyers related his own
experience with a German doc?.or.
He arranged to be awakened after a
half hour to see what his mental condition
was. He set himself several
problems in arithmetic. The next
day he was awakened after an hour's
sleep, and so on, increasing his time
for sleep by an hour a day until he
got six hours. He found his ability
in connection with arithmetic as
great after an hour's sleep as after
six hours. When, however, he came
to try another test this one comnieteiv
broke down. In trying to
test his memory he found it grew in
proportion to the number of hours
of sleep he took. f
Bootjacks Among the Sunflowers..
It is popularly supposed that the
bootjack has disappeared from the
common articles of household use as
completely as the candle snuffers and
the warmfng pan. But this is not
true in some parts of Kansas. In
Smith County they are numerous.
Why they shouid still continue in existence
in the vicinity of Smith Centre
while at Mankato not one Is to be
found is explained by the prevalence
of the old fashioned custom of wearing
boots at the former place. Many
bootjacks may be found hanging behind
the kitchen stove in the farmhouses
in that vicinity. The eldest
one was made in Wisconsin in 1851',
and is owned and used by G. W. Sage,

from Klaw & Erlanger stating that,
owing to the race riots in the south,

Elephant Kills Circus Man.
George Gordon, a canvassrnan with
the Cole Brothers' circus, was killed
in Columbia by an elephap: belonging
to, the circus. Gecrge was playing
with the baby elephant of the
show, when an older elephant,
"Queen," attacked him and ran her tusks
into. his right side.
Other employes of the circus ran to
his assistance and pulled him away
from the animal. Gordon was taken to
the Columbia hospital, but "after an
operation had been performed in the
hope of saving his life, he died.
The baby elephant, "Chief," was an
orphan, but "Quc-en" had taken a
fancy to the baby elephant and was
as devoted as a mother.

Fire Brought to Firemen.
It sometimes happens that the fire
departments of cities will go outside
of the city limits to stop a disastrous
? i in ftriininine suburb,
conI1H&I -X Uuu xu uu ?? w
but rarely does it happen that a city
Are department will stop a fire in an
adjoining county or state, and still
more rarely dues it happen that a fire
at any place is brought to the firemen,
rather than the firemen going
to the lire.
Yet this very thing happened in Augusta.
Ga., a lew days ago. One ot
the suburbs of Augusta, just across
the Savannah river in this state, is
Hamburg, which was once a flourishing
town, but is now nothing more
than a remindei of its former greatness,
about the only thing in the
place being a few old warehouses and
vara* nf ibe Southern railroad.
A car in the Southern's yards loaded
with cotton caught on fire and not
only seemed in a fair way to burn
itself, but to destroy other trains of
stuff about it. In order to stop the
blaze an engine was hitched to the
burning car and it was carried across
the river to Augusta.
A fire engine from the local department
met it at the foot of the
bridge and turned on a stream which
soon extinguished the blaze. The
damage was thus limited to about $300
to the cotton and the car itself.

To Keep Out Strikers.
The Southern railway is having a
large fence built about its yards in
Charleston to prevent the trespass
of the strikers upon the premises, and
any possible interference with the labor.
It is said that the local building
unions would not build the fence,
and the company was torced to bring
in a road gang from the line to erect
the fence. There are thirty-two machinists
out. at the Charleston shops.
Some of the men have signed up at
the Charleston "navy "yard labor bureau,
where they will get $3.50 for
eight hours' work, instead of $3.00
for ten hours, now paid by the railTVtie?

railroads of the city council, with
regard to the petition of the road for
lights of way through certain streets

- The Seaboard has one of the finest
pieces of water front property . in
Charleston, having been bought years
ago, and its petition for a franchise
to pass through the streets indicates
its intention to use the terminals.
The entrance of the Seaboard Air
Line to Charleston is much desired by

First "Scrap" of the Strike.
"Hey. you scab, if you're going to
scab, why don't you do it in daylight?"
i
This taunt applied to the-road foreman
of engines, A. C. Kenyon, by a
striking machinist, G. L. Green, caused
the first actual conflict of the
strike now on at the Boutnern railway
machine shops, in Columbia, while the
special watchmen brought from Savannah
to protect the company's property,
and two policemen were patrolling
the shop enclosure. Green came
to the Blanding street gate* and peering
through the bars saw the road
foreman of engines in his overalls at
work. The taunt quoted followed. Mr.
Kenyon dropped his work, walked outside
and demanded to know of Green
if he meant the remarks to apply to
him. Green replied in the affirmative,
whereupon Kenyon struck him in the
faco, doing it so quickly that the
police officers, who had suspected
from their tones that a fight was
imminent, could not prevent the blow.
They promptly stepped in and placed
both parties under arrestNext morning
in police court Kenyon pleaded
guilty to the charge of disorderly conduct
and paid the $10 fine imposed.
Green was dismissed with a warning
ag3inst saying' things likely to provoke
a fight.

SAM JONES DEAD
Famed Evangelist is Cailed
Suddenly by Grim Reaper,
DIED ON SLEEPING CAR
Was on His Way Home from the West
to Attend Family Reunion in Celebration
of His Fifty-Ninth
Birthday.
Rev. Samuel P. Jones, noted Georgia
evangelist atid a lecturer of great
reputation throughout the country,
died suddenly on a Pullman car near
Little Rock, Ark., at four o'clock Monday
morning. His death was due to
heart failure, and had taken place
during the night trip from Oklahoma
City to Little Rock.
The well known and well loved
evangelist was en route to Cartersville,
Ga., his old home, where he
was to have celebrated the anniversary
of his 59th birthday Tuesday,
October 16. .
A family reunion of all his relatives
was to have been held at that
time, and Mr. Jones, in company with
his wife, his daughter, Mrs. Pyrcn,
and his youngest child, Miss Julia
Baxter Jones, had left Oklahoma City
Sunday ;n order to reach Cartersville
in time for the then expected
happy gathering.
He retired early after leaving Oklahoma
City and askea to be awakened
Jhst before the train arrived at Little
Rock. The train was due to reach
the Arkansas city a little after four
o'clock, 3i:d shortly before that time
Mrs. Jones went (o awaken him.
Mr. Jones arose from his berth and
complained of sickness in his stomach.
Ke drank a glass of hot water,
and immediately aftc*-rard collapsed.
The body was embalmed in Little
itock and shipped to uariersvme .uuuday
afternoon for interment.
Mr. Jones had been conducting revival
services at Oklahoma City for
the past two weeks. The services
were concluded Sunday night, and
the Georgia evangelist immediately
began his return trip home.
Samuel Porter Jones, known the
world over simply as tiam Jones, was
born in Chambers county, Alabama,
October If, 1847, but removed to Oartersville,
Ga., in 1859, where he has
resided since.
He began his life career as a lawyer,
but broke -down in health from
nervous dyspepsia-, and finally gave
up the legal prolesssion. Ill health
drove him to excessive drinking, and
for some years he was a wild.^roystering
fellow.
Then he turned- his back on the eld
life, and, became one of the most powerful
and unique advocates of right
living in the country. No man was a
mere implacable foe of whiskey "than
Sam Jones, and his absolute fearlessness
in fighting it won him renown
over the Union. v
In 1872 he professed religion, and
was ordained to the Methodist ministry
the same year. He joined the
North Geprgia Conference, and served
various charges for a number of
years. For twelve years he was the
agent of the North -Georgia Orphanage.
Early in his ministerial career he
began to attract wide attention^ by
his brilliant wit, his exquisite touches
native and his unique' manner cf
gaining and holding the attention of
his audiences. Yielding to the urgent
solicitations that came to him from all
over the country he severed his connection
with the Methodist Conference
many years ago, and became an
evangelist and lecturer.
Demands for his services came from
all parts of the country, and he was
constantly engaged from Florida to
Maine and' from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. J3e swayed great audiences
from laughter to tears in a. moment
He hated deceit and all the evil things
of life, a^d fought them with deadly
ferocity. He turned countless thousands
from the wrong to the good
things of life by sheer force of his
eloquence and his sincerity.
