If a person wants to settle in a wldtS rake community all he needs to do Is
to look over the local newspaper. A well supported home paper by the advertisements pf the business men of
town is always associated with good schools, churches, active business and intelligent .people. It never fails. No business man or citizen makes any better investment than in the support o f the Home paper. It speaks con- tUtually for ,the interests and pros-

As fast as a report came in he replied, directing the conductor to take a siding and wait fdjr orders, and it was not a great while until he had every train on the division sidetracked. Then he took a book, lighted bis p|g£ and sat down to watt for daylight. In the morning the chief appeared, with anxiety written all over his face.
‘Any accidents, Johnny?” asked the chief.
Not an accident. I’ve got ’em f ILon the SldetViCl, snowed in and waiting for orders, and you will have to get ’em out. I am going to blow this Jotji.” It took the chief and his force nearly all day to get the trains straightened out and traffic resumed on the road.

He came one afternoon upon a big black cat occupied apparently In the pursuit o f mice, and from the shelter o f a tree he watched its movements through s fletdglass. After a few minutes an old fox made its appearance. Slinking slowly forward toward toe eat, It lay down within a Tew stepa o f It. ready to eprlug.
The cat had observed Its enemy, bat beyqnd keeping n sharp lookout on Its movements It made no sign. Shortly a young fox joined toe old one and almost Immediately bounded at too c a t which sprang adds and struck Its ss- ■aUaat.no sOeacloosly nemos Its face with Us sharp claws that It retired ss qalckly ss It came. After an Interval the old fox. advancing slowly and carefully, made lta attack, but theTre- sult was the same. The c a t spitting and biasing, struck out hard, and the fox retired discomfited.

The thoroughbred la rattle brained, has no sense, is beyond all control. It doesn’t know when to stop or what to do In a race; it simply runs until it cannot run any longer, whereas the trottipg horse Is under the control o f its driver from start to finish and obeys orders at any time., The thoroughbred naturally exceeds the trotter in a burst of speed, but in the long run it cannot compete. As a general proposition, it is accepted among horsemen that the trotting horse is superior to the thoroughbred for general purposes.”
