Writes: '"A few of the traits of these
curious people may prove of Interest
as they show that environment Is the
strongest factor In determining charac
ter. Their Intense superstition is ac
counted for by Innate fear of all things
they cannot understand. Their shy
Bess, dislike of strangers and dread of
their lunins and chiefs are again the
result of superstition and seclusion.
Badness nnd melancholia are stamped
en their faces, as Is natural to a peo
ple who are In constant fear of tbe
if genii of tbe mountains, 'rivers and
i forests, whose whole time is taken up
jr with propitiating the gods lest evil be
ck Ball them.

' forest as tbe Arab Is of tbe desert
i The one Is the antithesis of the other.
' Environment has molded tbe character
t of each to his surroundings. The fear
' leas believer in one God, the nomad of
th sunlit desert compares strikingly
with the superstitious inhabitants of
dark, damp forests, fearsome of evil
spirits and cringing under their witch

Ventilation.
Have we ever stopped to think how
or ancestors two or three generations
back lived and flourished with little or j
no ventilation In their sleeping; apart- J
. mentsT t The. night air used to be con
sidered a very dreadful menace to
. health and a sure Inducer of colds.
' . Bedrooms were, kept closely shut and
yet oar ancestors, many of them, were
hardier than we and lived to good old
. ages. Animals burrow in their hole
at night breathing the same air over
' and over; again, while birds and fowls
tack their heads under their wings.
Of course ntilation Is absolutely nec
essary for poper comfort, cleanliness
and health, but people have lived on
i little or none of It for hundreds and
thousands of years. Exchange.

Joba Donnelly Is Cashier. -
(Baker Herald.)
It Is very gratifying to the many
patrons of the Citizens National bank
to learn that John T. Donnelly, for
over 20 years cashier of the First
National bank, will take the same
place In the Citizens. Mr. Donnelly
was elected to the cashlershlp Satur
day at a meeting ot the board of di
rectors. At the same time he became
a stockholder and director In the
Institution. The new cashier Is
I recognized In banking circles all over
the stets most capable man for
tbe poxri'ftr. ft ts telt too by the
friends of the institution that the
presence of Mr. Donnelly will lend
strength to tbe bank.
F. P. Bodinson will remain the ac
tive president of tbe bank. Tbe po
sition of cashier has been vacant in
tbe Institution since last spring when
Guy L. Lindsay, former cashier, resigned.
Contributions are coming to slowly
that tbe campaign manager of the fu
ture may have to get out with a mask
and a short piece of lead pipe and do
a Utile night work.
