THE BEST REAL “PULL.” Now that the summer is nearly over hundreds of young men who were .graduated last June from colleges and high schools are entering the voca tions which they intend shall be their [life's work. Some are still seeking suit able openings. The young man with out a ‘'pull” may believe himself handi capped. He is likely to see instances fwhere the employer gives first con sideration to his son, his nephew or ;the son of a friend. But that is no [more than right. The average busi ness man recognizes the obligations of relationship and friendship, up to the point where they do not Impair his (material Interests and those of his as sociates. His nephew and his friend’s eon must make good—his own son, ! most of all. His tendency, in fact, is ; ito be more strict with his son than Ihe is with any of his other employes, I says the Cleveland Leader. If a young ! (man thus favored with the first oppor tunity shows that he will be a failure jin the work he is doing, he is re moved. Family ties and friendship jusually will not hold him. Then comes (the chance of the young man who may (have felt discouraged because he had (no "pull.” The best “pull" any young tman can have in starting in life is Ihonesty, industry and the determina tion to work for his employer as though he were working for himself. tHe should realize that, in fact, he is forking for himself and that he has a lancial Interest in the business, to the extent of his pay. Such a young jnan is bound to succeed. Upon a Newport “farm” which cost » fortune the young owner lies ill of (typhoid fever. A wealthy woman ne&r |by suffers from the same "disease of jdirt.” In Manhattan last year there [was a sporadic outbreak in the region (of costly apartment houses. This year pt is Brooklyn's turn, says the New (York World. In this city, with its guarded water supply, it is likely that (typhoid at this season is brought from ansanitary summer resorts or Incurred (during automobile runs. Every life [lost by typhoid is a wasted life. It Js absolutely preventable. People who (live in marble halls without caring (whether poison runs in the pipes be hind them; the very rich who spend (millions in display but negleet sanita tion; college professors caught un aware by epidemics like that in Ithaca [ —these have themselves to blame if (the disease occurs. Typhoid origina ting in any community disgraces it A new method of making physical examinations to detect the presence of tuberculosis has been demonstrated at Guy’s hospital, London. The examina tion is made by the aid of X-rays, and Shows tuberculous ravages in the Jungs, it is said, at an earlier stage than they are revealed by the stetho cope. The X-ray is valuable for many purposes, but must always be used with caution, as numerous sad experiences have taught. ■ China is making a very civilized nse of the indemnity fund returned by the United States by employing it for (the education of Chinese youth in American colleges. Fifty-three bene ficiaries of the fund have arrived in this country. It’s hard to tell which pursuit Is at tendant with the greater danger, aero planing or serving Uncle Sam in time & peace on a battleship. A Preventive Measure. Six-year-old Harriet announced her intention of giving up her German lessons with fraulein. “She hugs and kisses me all the time I’m at lessons and—ugh—l do hate Dutch,” Harriet explained. Father, who is something of a diplo mat, reasoned with her: “See here, my little girl, I have read German and French with fraulein ever since I was your age, and she has never tried to hug or kiss me.” “Father,” observed the child dryly, ‘“you had better touch wood.” —Suc- cess Magazine.

WHIPPLE Attorney-at-Law Huggins Building Hawkinsville, Georgia A SPANISH NINE BLEW UP MAINE COLONEL BRADY SAYS SPANISH FANATIC DESTROYED U. S. BATTLESHIP. washingtonofficialsdeny Zalvado, Who Touched Key That Ex ploded the Mine, Was Executed. Kansas City, Mo. —That Joseph E. Zalvado, a Spanish electrician, work ing in Moro castle, and probably a fanatic, was responsible for the battle ship Maine disaster, was the state ment made here by Colonel Jasper E. Brady, United States army. Colonel Brady says he was one pf a commission of four men who investi gated the explosion and reported their findings to President McKinley. “Of course 1 did not see this man turn on the switch which set free the powerful mines that caused the disaster,” said the colonel, “but the evidence in the case pointed directly to his guilt. Three other army officers, whose names 1 do not care to give, and myself reported to the President that in our belief Zavaldo was respon sible. He was later executed upoi| the command of General Blanco. No one, however, was ever able to learn for what rason.” Colonel Brady, in the address at St. George’s Episcopal church, bad dis cussed the Maine disaster, and attrib uted it to a submarine mine explo sion. His statement brought forth de nials from Washington among other things, being tuat no military board had been appointed to investigate the case. Colonel Brady explains that the board never convened to make its re port, but reported individually to the President. Colonel Brady is a brother of the Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady, rector of St. George's church, and author. Attempts to learn anything about the history of the electrician proved futile, said Colonel Brady. “All we know is tuat he was in charge of the wires which operated; the mines,” he said. “If the Spanish government had desired to blow up the battleship he would have been or dered to turn on the current and re lease the explosives. As nearly as we could learn he acted on an impulse while near the electrical apparatus and turned on the skitch that killed the 207 men. “The harbor was full of mines and it is not surprising that the Maine anchored near one. “We had much trouble in obtaining evidence. Our case was made up very largely by putting two and two otgeth er and arriving at a conclusion.” DISASTROUS FIRES. Fires in Macon, Huntsville and Mont gomery Cause Big Losses.

Washington.—When President Taft was invited to attend a proposed cel ebration in Pittsburg in 1914, com memoraitng the close of a century of peace between the English-speaking peoples, under the auspices of the Sisterhood of the Rodph Sholum con gregation, he said: “In 1914 I will probably be your neighbor, living in Cincinnati, and I will try to run ovei| and see you.” There was a smile on the president 3 face when he thus eliminated himself from a second term consideration.
