THE TRAIL BLAZER.
What la It lures him out afar, where the
dim horlzone run?
Whet le It beckons him out, ewey to the
rim of the setting eun?
’Tie the pulee of life In e live men'e veins,
ths little cetch of the breath
That apeaka of a Joy aa he glrde up his
loins to shako tho diet with Ooath.
Tha tramp of hie feet le barely heard as
he strides toward hie goal,
In the silent wattes of an Arctic night, to
tho vorga of tho dlotent Pole)
For he works on tho text, “Subdue the
earthl” as the voice of the Scrip
ture aalth.
With hie lean, lank doge In the grim lee-
pack he ehakee the dice with Death.
The burning desert knows hie face, the
vultkre hears his cry,
When he hears the end with a blistered
tongue and a waterbag that's dry:
But ever he goat with staggering feat,
grilled by that desert breath,
As he tightens hi, belt and gripe the
hand that ehakee the dice with
Death.
Hie bones they ere white on many a
shore—they bleach on many a
etrend;
The blaze of hlo ex end the duet of hie
trill ere seen on every hand!
I» he die. he dlee ee a white men should,
and he laughs with hie parting
breath;
For hie mete behind will pick up hie troll
and ehake the dice with Death.
He's a eelf-mede outceet, hurrying on with
tho rolling world behind.
He oen not reap where he has sown—he
rldee upon the wind;
The voice of Nature erlea aloud hie old-
time shibboleth,
And he turns once mere at the siren's
voice to shako the dice with Death.

Relief Funds for the
Briceville Sufferers.
By the disaster at Cross Moun
tain mine, near Briceville, Tenn.,
51 wives were widowed and 150
children left orphans.
They arc now destitute, piteous
remnants of families that were.
They are in need—jn actual need
of food and clothing, and will he
until they ean adjust themselves
to the loss of their bread win
ners.
A committee of citizens .head
ed by Robert. J. Lowry have, ad
dressed an appeal to tho people
of Atlanta for contributions to
the relief fund, and particularly
to those who were former resi
dents of Tennessee. The suffer
ers are all native Tennesseeans or
Kentuckians.
Neither invention nor law en
forcement seem yet to have
reached the point where mine dis
asters are rendered impossible.
And the hpst that the general
subtle ean do is to help render
ess cruel the dire consequences.
Human suffering need but
manifest itself plainly enough to
be met, and met unfailingly, by
huiqan sympathy and assistance.
The appeal for the Briceville suf
ferers should be the signal for
an immediate and generous re
sponse.
The Up-to-dateness of
The Rube.
The farmer was once carica
tured as the embodiment of ig
norance and credulity. He was
pictured as the prey of gold brick
venders. lie was thought to be
totally without savoir faire in
personal conduct and far behind
abreast-of-thc-timcs informa
tion.
But the day when such an
idea of the farmer had mneh ap.
plication has gone and evidences
that it is gone arc to be found
everywhere.
Here is a very recent one:
“Questions asked the prospec
tive jurors thus far have disclos
ed the fact,” says a news dis
patch of the trial of the packers
at Chicago, “that farmers are
closer readers of the newspapers
than are persons who live in the
city. As a result the lawyers
have found that men from the
rural districts as a rule have
decided opinions on government
regulation of business and In
many cases are better versed in
the intent and meaning of the
Sherman act than many of their
city neighbors.”
The old notion of a farmer
was always a gross exaggeration.
Now it is too far away from the
truth 1 to arouse even a smile.
The farmer knows fewer things
than does the city man, but what
he knows he knows thoroughly
and not superficially. Superficial
knowledge is characteristic of
dwellers of the city, particularly
of the large cities.
The newspaper is the one best
means of conveying information,
pot only of current events, but of
the course of developments,
whether the developments be
commercial, civic or political.
The farmer, cut off from the
many distractions of city life,
not only reads his newspaper,
but he studies it. He thinks on
his own account.
And thus hia grasp of pub
lic questions equals where it does
not exceed that of the average
city man.
Birds as Life Savers.
One can hardly think of frail
little canary birds playing an im
portant part in the grim business
of rescuing entombed miners.
Yet that is the role they en
acted at Briceville following the
disaster there, and were instru
mental in recovering alive five
of the well-nigh suffocated mi
ners.
It is their very frailty and sen
sitiveness that render them val
uable for the service. Like
Shakespeare’s sjimraer-haunting
martlet, / where they go the air
must be most, delicate.
The government bureau of
mines ■'has found that they are
accurate registers of the condi
tion of the air aa to its whole
someness and freedom from poi
sonous elements.
The *birds are taken into the
miner by the first line of res
cuers, who are supplied with
oxygen helmets and arc followed
by a second and more numerous
line not so helmetcd. The sec
ond line, because of their un
hampered condition, are relied
’upon to do the more active work
of recovering and bearing the
unconscious men to the surface.
Aa soon as poisonous gases are
encountered, the canaries show-it
by becoming drowsy. The un-
helmeted members of the rescue
party know then that it is not
safe for them to proceed farther
until the air hna been purified.
The birds thus serve to indicate
in the corridors and passages tho
presence of good air as plainly ns
if it were marked by large signs
along the way.
State laws and state inspectors
seem sadly ineffective in prevent
ing mine disasters. The Federal
government, however, is doing a
splendid work in the organiza
tion and perfection of a rescue
service, and its discovery of the
use to which canary birds may he
put in connection therewith must
be credited to it as a noteworthy
achievement.
The grand Jury xayz no mora lottery
schemes. It even pays to do your
Chrlatmaa raffling early.
“Color line drawn at packers' trial.”
It war the color of coin, however, that
succeeded In having the trial so long
withdrawn.
The Virginia law compelling hotels to
furnish their beds with sheets eight
feet long, has been declared unconstitu
tional. The auprein court ripped It In
two.
Impressions of a Georgia
Divorce Court
Juryman
PICKING A BEEF TRUST JURY
faithful, conscientious, honest
Judge, twelve Jurymen—honest, Intel
llgent men. ,aj| of them. Georgia di
vorce laws? No! A Georgia farce. I
dare assert that there la neither justice,
sense nor sanity In the divorce laws of
this, the Empire state of the South, as
they now exist. It Is my belief that not
one In ten of the citizens of this grand
old state have any Idea of what these
laws are. or rather are not.
Twelve men leave their business, no
matter how urgent, to be good citizens,
do their duty and serve the state In
the capacity of Jurymen: they swear to
give a verdict In accordance with the
evidence submitted to them. A man or
a woman, as the case may be, having
tired of their spouse, comes before this
body of men and swears that at some
time their other, and of course In this
case not better half, did at some time
mistreat, abuse, bpat, threaten, or de
sert them. The grounds are legal ones
In Georgia. There Is no defense, because
there Is no defense—there Is nothing
for the Jury to do but klgn a verdict
granting the divorce. The statement la
by the Interested party, does not un
der present law have to be corrobo
rated, does not even have to be made
In person—a simple affidavit before a
commissioner will answer Just as well.
We trust that all who come before
ua either In pefaon or by proxy have
uttered the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. We know that
there arc men with whom no woman
could live, and likewise women with
whom no man could live. We trust that
only those who by some unavoidable
misfortune or lack of foresight have
been united to such as these have come
before us, and that In every Instance
their statement was true; but. oh, how
easy when a little worry, a little dis
appointment, a little Jealousy comes. It
is to Ijrood over the trouble till the
trouble Is exaggerated, and then, know
ing that a year's residence, a sworn
statement, will set aside the most sol
emn vows ever taken by man or woman
and leave them free to make the same
colemn vows akaln, it Is to hie to the
divorce court.
In many Instances legal separation
Is very wise, In some total divorce Is
Just as wise, but are we asking too
much of our lawmakers to ask them
to give us divorce laws that require
at least corroborative evidence, and
an actual legal showing that the parties
applying huvo made an honest attempt
to keep their marriage vows. We may
take It for granted that every applicant
for divorce has ample grouhds, but Is
It asking too much to have them show
by outside testimony that such Is the
caee before asking twelve men to free
them of their marital ties? Is It ask
ing too much to give those twelve men
some assurance that the verdict they
are under the |aw required to give Is
of benefit to society and in accordance
with their belief In Justice and right,
rather than have them fear that in
fulfilling their obligation to render ac>-
cording to the evidence submitted, they
may be doing society the very Injury
they would use their very best endeav
or to avoid7
I, as one man. am disgusted by the
laxity of our divorce laws, and most
earnestly appeal to our lawmakers to
look diligently into this matter, and
not rest till the • law Is at least so
changed as to require corroborative
testimony before the granting of any
divorce, and then on only ical and nol
fancied wrongs. It Is not right to'ask
Jurymen to alt and waste their time
and the people's money and do what
their consciences do not approve of
because the law Is Inx. If the law ssys
you must give a verdict on uncontested
evidence, and SO to 100 divorce cases
come up In three days, what's the use,
when It Is known that none of these
cases are Iff be contested, In keeping a
Jury to pass on them at all, when the-
law xaya what the verdict Is to be. Ir
respective of whot belief the Jury may
entertain as to the rights. In. the case?
Better let the Jury go and attend to
more Important business, and let the
presiding Judge or tt\c court bailiff sign
tho verdict the law made before the
case'came up, and at least save the
cost to the stale of a Jury. I give these
things as I see them, after a week's
divorce Jury Experience.
Respectfully submitted,

Attorney General Wlckersham aays
that the Sherman law Is all right. But
he should have waited to see what It Is
going to do In the trial of the Chicago
packers.
And notf It Is said that a former
chaplain of the United States army,
angered at his discharge, dynamited a
fort. This dynamite habit Is fast be
coming a nuisance.
A Kansas prisoner weighing tOO
pounds wriggled thru a hole twelve
Inches squara and escaped. And yet
there are some persons who Insist on
not believing the camel-thni-eye-of-
needle story.
A Kansas Juryman temporarily
crazed by the strain of the trial ran
away and stayed four daya. Some cas
ual person has remarked that nowadays
tho jurors received more -punishment
than the criminate.
The train robber In the present ago
is an anachronism. He Is a survivor of
the Ignorance that thinks progress In
this country is still In Its plonee * days.
He Is fool enough to believe he ran
beat twentieth century civilisation.
At the Indian durbar King George
placed upon his own head a crown of
gold The visitors for the occasion. In
addition to having to pay a hefty price
for their seats, paid for their hotel ac
commodations at the minimum rate of
180 a day. The people of India no
doubt are saying to themselves: "Thus
does a prince make pauper* of ua all.'

Madame Lillian Nordics returned to
Farmington, Maine, her old home, after
an absence of 30 years, and sang
"Home, Sweet Home” to her former
friends. She and her audience were
very much affected, but maybe
Madame Nordics would not have felt
that way It she had had to stay there'
for the 30 years.
"You are not running -a store," exelnVned the Business Doctor, In dis
gust, "you are running a mercantile museum!
"You are making a collection of merchandise here which will soon bo
salable as antiques! You have failed
to learn one of the very rudiments of
modern business methods, which Is that
stuff bought must be sold! You don't
buy these things to keep them, hut to
sell them. If they won’t sell at tho
right price, sell them at the wrong
price. Anything is better than keeping
them on the shelves.
"Keep them moving at all eosL Ev
ery day you hold an article of mer
chandise In your More It becomes less
salable, and If Jt doesn't move at once,
cut the price. If that doesn't move It,
cut again. Don't hold It. Let it go.
The money you have tied up In It must
be got out at all hazards and put .Into
something that will move. The Inter
est Is slowly eating you up, the money
you need to pay your bills with, and the
space on your shelve* is ton valuable
to he filled with articles which are not
selling. You are paying rent for every
Inch of your store, and that portion
which Is full of slow-moving stock Is
not paying Its proportion of the rent.
"Cut and slash tho price! The man who put a fur chat In his window
and on It the statement that It was worth ,$20t) and he would cut the price
310 a day till It was sold, had the right Idea, for In tills Is the whole secret
of,successful merchandising. Any article will sell for something, and even
when split at a heavy Ins* Is liable to attract the purchaser of the bargain
to the store,, so that other sale* may be made which will pay a profit suf
ficient to balance \hc loss on the bargain sale.
"'The merchant who knows Just when any artlclo nr line of merchandise
bus reached the turning point whero It must be moved, regardless of cost.
Is the man who accumulates money Instead of accumulating stock. Nine
men out of ten who fall In business could pay their bills If the dead stock on
their shelves could be sold for anything IlkP it* value.
" 'Take your loss’ is an axiom of the Wall-st. broker, and Is applied
equally to the man In the little cigar store on the corner and the owner of
the big department store In the center of the shopping district. Move the
stuff at all hnzarda. Forget your pride In your ability ns a buyer nnd re
member only that there Is good hard cash tied up In that stuff nnd that it
must be got out—If not all, at least a portion of It.
"The man never lived who was Infallible In his purchasing. We learn
by our mistakes, and If you have overbought. If you have made had selec
tion In styles, If you have misjudged the taste ,,f the fickle' public, don't feel
that you arc alone: the best buyers In the world have done the same thing
before you, and It fa better business to pocket your loss quickly and get the
unsalable goods out of the road for ctuff which will move.
"Property advertised, anything will move. When you find that an arti
cle you took for a peach proves n lemon, get Into the newspapers with It
nnd you will find that there Is a market for lemons also. If the price Is a
lemon price and not tho peach price. Somewhere In this world Is a customer
for every article of merchandise that was ever manufactured. The way to
find that customer Is by a generous use of primer's ink. Write the adver
tisement frankly, honestly telling the reason you are selling the goods
cheap, and you will find the customers If the price Is l ight. But bo sure the
price Is right. Don't use any halfway measures. Don’t cut It a miserable
five per rent and expect the public to push your door down trying to get It.
Cut It quick and deep."

I once heard a Uttle boy define a lawyer
aa a man who does no work. An execu
tive la a man who deeides quickly and la
aometlmea right. We used to describe a
business man as a man who owned a roll-
ton desk. And there la no doubt but that
about twenty years ago every gaxabo who
owned a roll-top desk congratulated him-
aelf on being a buatneaa man.
Recently, a marked wave of disapproval
has awept over the land for the luxurious
and classic roll-top. The belief la abroad
that there la no better way of filing thing*
where they ean never be found than with
the aid of the roll-top. _ _
Papers put Into the roll-top are there
until the executor cornea, or the receiver
takes charge. „
The roll-top la a bid for procrastina
tion. a lure for the Ia*y.
If some chap rushes in and wants you

pull down the lid and thus deceive vour-
aelf and the office Into the fond belief
that you have cleaned up your work.

Generally, the letter that Is lost Is the
; one demanded by the attorney when the
♦ esse comes to trial.
; Recently In New York a man who was
: called on the witness stand had his tes
timony impeached on account of the lack
{of a letter that was not found until the
•day after the Jury had given tholr ver
dict. Thirteen thousand dollars darn-
lages and costs, all for lack of a letter
j to brace up a somewhat ftahy line of tes
timony, which, curiously enough, was ah-
aolutely true!
I Ami all th*. time, the letter uiy in a
(comatose state In the dim, dark, forgot-
* ten recesses of a roll-top desk.
j Judge Ward refused to reopen the case,
(saying. "Probably there are more lost let-
fers in other roll-top desks that would
contradict this letter just found. The
York Medical Jour-
may scam i
with dally baths,
hands and face, and numerous changes
of clothing, we are doing all that la pos
sible to keep our bodies clean. Other
nations have different notions about
cleanliness, some of which might
adopted with great benefit.
"As to washing the hapda, we reli
giously perform this duty, morning and
evening, and at other times during the
day, and after dinner the finger bowl is
placed before ua and we moisten the tip*
of tha fingers and think they are clean.
From a sanitary point of view the finger
bowl, or rather, a larger bowl, should be
g assed Just before the meal, ho that the
ands may at least be freed from the
gross filth accumulated from the morn
ing oaper and from the baluster of thf
furniture that we have handled since
washing. The furniture and the balus
ters have been handled many timet by
unclean hands, and the washings have
been few and far between. From auch
sources we are able to collect gross filth
and many disease-producing microbes. If
we have guests we shAke hands with each
one aa he arrives, and obtain from their
hands all the filth they have acquired
ffom the straps of the street cars, or the
gloves they have worn. Probably some
of our guests would be Insulted If thev
were passed n basin of hot water and
soap and towel before being invited to
the table, and yet when we consider the
manv chances for contaminating the
hands. It would seem but an act of kind
ness to do 80.
“There la an old sayipg that 'a man
must eat a peck of dirt before he dies.'
and not a few persons seem to try to In
crease that amount. We handle our
bread, fried potatoes, cake, and fruit with
our soiled hands, before eating them,
altho there seems t be no good reason
why we should not use a fork or spoon
for these foods.”
Chicago Paper Sarcastically
Says Jerseyite Should Make
Money Out of Politics.
T r Tbuni° ll0W ‘ nS '* fr ° m The Chlc agol
Is It to be understood that the chare,,
against Governor Woodrow Wilson 1,
that Instead of regarding politics as a
field in which on active
turn up much wealth he assumed that
he was undertaking a non-remunen
tlve labor and therefore applied for'a
pension for which he believed his work
ns an educator had qualified him-
this the charge?
We suggest that Governor Wilson
Jlead guilty. We suggest that he con-
.’ess that he did not Intend, hope or D i an
to better himself financially when he
became a candidate for the governor,
ship of New Jersey and gave up the
presidency of Princeton.
True, possibly, as his critics sav he
gave up 38,000 a year to accept Ji'nooo
and true, possibly, that he has ainhl-'
tlons leading toward the presidential
salary, and yet he asked to be pen.
sioned under the provisions of the Car
negle foundation. Strange, trulv.
If Governor Wilson had cared to do
so, he no doubt might have made a
comfortable, pleasant arrangement with
gentlemen of wealth, If not of distinc
tion, gentlemen seeking the little fa-
vors which a state may confer on men
whom tt delights to honor, little favors
which produce dividends and satisfac
tory annual reports, which endear an
executive board to the stockholders, and
possibly In that case Governor Wilson
would not have thought of the Carnegie
foundation at all. In that case his crit
ics might have been his admirers.
Then he would not have written In
answer to the charge against him: 'A
nian who goes Into polities bound hv
honor puts his family and all who mav
be dependent upon him for support at
the mercy of any Incalculable turn of
the wheel of fortune."
Plead guilty. Mr. Wilson.
