A FATHER S BRAVE DEED.
Chicago Tinies-Herald.
One of the most remarkable
incidents of the big cyclone in
Michigan was I fiat in which
Charles Bradley of Thomas
proved himself an absolute
hero.
Bradley and his wife and
their two children were just sit
ting down to supper when the
storm struck their home.
The husband cried out to his
wife to go into the cellar nt
once. She obeyed and Bradley
followed with the children.
Mrs. Bradley was afraid that
the lamp in the dining room
might be overturned and set
fire to the house. She went up
stairs and extinguished the
lump, and on her return was
about to place the children un
der a washtub when the crash
came.
“Put the babies down and
bend over them!” cried Brad
ley.
Mrs. Bradley done what she
was told and her husband pro
tected her body with his own.
The bricks and beams fell
upon him almost buried him in
the debris, but he did not w iuee
When the damage was done.
Mrs. Bradley crawled out and
her husband followed her.
“When the cyclone hail pass
ed,” said the woman, describ
ing the mat fer, “Charley told
me to ciawl out, and then he
•hook the rubbish off and got
out himself. Oh, my brave,
good husband!”
Mr. Bradley’s homestead was
lifted by the wind and dropped
lUO feet -from its original site.
PLANT LIFE IN CUBA.
Amid scenes of war, writers
•re referring to the wonders of
vegetation in that isle so favor
ed by nature and so cursed by
despotic rule.
Potatoes in Cuba are not
plumed oftener than once in two
years. The yield during that
time being most abundant.
Bananas are planted but once
They grow and bear fruit in the
same place for many years, one
w riter says “forever.”
There are sugar estates that
have annually cut cane since
the shoots were planted, forty
years ago.
Fields of tobacco are seldom
over a few acres in size. The
money made from the yield
buys all supplies that the soil
dons not produce.
The Cuban plant called the
“l.i’e Plant,” has more wonder
fut vitality than uuy known
vegetable growth. The only
way to kill it is to use a red hot
iron or boiling way. When a
leaf of this plant is cut and
hung up by u siring it .sends out
white, threatl-lilo roots,gatin'i
moisture from the air and be
gins to grow new leaves. Even
when pressed and packed away
in a botanist's herbarium, i!
has been known to outgrow the
leaves of the book in which it
was placed.—Times-Union.

Life Insurance.
Are You Ready To
Insure?
A WORD TO THE WISE
OUGHT TO BE SUF
FICIENT.
Mr. Editor: Ido not wish
to pose as an advisor U> the peo
pie in matters pertaining t<>
their individual affairs, nor' do
1 claim to be able to do so, but
I feel interested in the above
caption so far as it affects the
general welfare of the farmers
and citizens of our county.
1 wish to sav to mv farmer
friends and citizens that the
life insurance business seems to
lie on a boom by tlie number of
soliciting agents abroad, and I
say it is a good thing in it s way,
but my farmer friends are you
sure you are ready to insure?
When you do insure, when you
give your note or promise to pay
your lirst payment, are yon sure
you are able to insure? Are
you able to spare the money
year after year, a continual
drain on your purse and ment
al faculties? Are you dilfereut
ly situated to tlie the thousands
of cases before you who have
taken insurance and lapsed out,
(dropped out) lost all they had
ever [mid because they found
out it took a good deal of money
that was needed at home? 1
still say it is a good thing for a
man to think of the future wel
fare of his family, to study
economy and lay up for the fu
ture, hut are you sure you are
one of those that can carry it
out successfully to the end for
the bone tit you anticipate?
I have n > tight to make on
life insurance or other business
enterprises, but the farmers
ought to learn sometime not t<>
be too hasty to accept the tint -
tering testimonials of others.
I contend a man of limited
means, one who is in debt or in
cumbered in any way, or one
who wishes to buy him a little
home, should study well liis
condition before lie goes into
unything that calls for his la
bor or the price of it, as he may
regret it in afterdays.
If a man has money lie can
well spare, can do without and
not necessary ill his business or
calling, then 1 think he is able
to insure and ought to; it is
commendable in any man to
seek the welfare of his own.
When you pay your money into
a life insurance policy you ale
not putting your money into a
bank so that if you get into a
little tight or a paper to meet
you can draw jt oi|t and meat
vour obligations, If you art
able to take out life insurance
you all' aide to lay by money in
a bank. My friend are you
aide, or have you felt able? 11
;o, why have you not done so
before t his?
W ith kind feelings to ull l re
main,
Respect telly,

ILL.
THE USEFUL HAIRI’IN.
New York Press.
Woman, lie sln> ‘new ’ or old
fashioned, can |»ut a hairpin to
various uses—shoe-hut toning,
cleaning her husband's pipe,
mending a clock, picking locks,
ami oven plumbing. In every
phase of tin* house-keeper's art
it is an invaluable instrument.
The original instrument usod
for tin* operation of huirlip was
shaped like a hairpin.
If a child pushes a bean or
button up its nose, no instru
ment has oven been invented
so exactly fitted to extract it as
a hairpin.
If a cinder falls in the eye, if
with one hand the eyelid is
averted, with n hairpin in tin
other the irrituting substance
can he wi[ied out by the blunt
end of the instrument without
any possibility of doing harm
to the eye.
If a dressing needs to be stif
fened, as in bandages over fin
gers, the wrist or other joints,
a few hairpins can in a moment
be hunt to the desired angle
und incorporated in the handu
g“9.
The last use which may be
mentioned is in dentistry. To
properly extract a tooth great
force is not so essential as a
pro|M*r grip on tin* tooth. With
la hairpin hooked under an of
| fending molar far less difficulty
will Ist found than in other
iimateiir methods.
All this goi-s to indicate thut
in surgery, as in other matters,
u little common sensi* und sim
ple mechanical skill will often
act us a substitute for much
hook knowledge and nickle-pla
-1 ti-d instruments.
Sam Jones says many good
and true things, but nothing is
: better or truer than this:
“i have no patience with the
voting man who sits down quiet*
;Iv amt puts ou a look <>f injured
innocence und says tlm world
dot's not appreciate him ami
that nobody can succeed but a
! tool or a knave. 1 have no pa
-11 ihi me vv it h the young man vv ho,
surveying the ti -Id opened up in
j this great country for industry
I and success, sits quietly down
and sav this is no poor man's
jcountry; class legislation has
fenced in the rich and fenced
out tlie poor, and that the laws
lof Iho laud are all made in the
' interest of the rich and against
I the pisir. To every young man
in America 1 sav to day: 'll
you want to lien man ami sue
cited, pitch in. This is the
country for you.' To every
young man who don't want to
succeed, 1 say: 'Keep your seat
y.uin, man. \ oil nave plenty
| of company all around you.”
