Dodge of the Kor- inek Remedy company Monday night on the Jacksonville road, and was thwarted in his criminal purpose by Mr. Dodge shoving his auto into high and speeding straight at the man, who stood ir. the road waving a signal to stop. The looks of the man and his attitude did not appeal, though he showed no weapon. Mrs. Dodge was riding with her husband at the time. The police and sheriff’s office have not been advised of the attempt. According to residents along that road there has been suspicious moves on the part of strangers lately towards autoists, and a new rule in that sec tion is to stop for no one at night for fear of holdups.—Tribuue Robbers Steal $5 Burglars entered the public library la-t Saturday night b. breaking a baa- ment window and springing the latch, and after thoroughly ransacking the building and turning drawers topsy turcy, found a purse containing $5, belonging to Miss Elizab-th Robinson, the Therobbery wasdiscov- ered Sunday morning, ’’’he police are workirg upon the theory that it was the work o» a bey, who h» ’ «me knowle Ige of wKere Miss Rob’u on hid her purse.—Tribune CARE CF THE CAT. to a Pussy S ->vld Oe Corrected •»>« H jw Shs Should tie Ted.

Sen fishing is one ot Holland’s prin cipal industries, and large fleets of sturdy looking fishing boats are seen at the seaside villages and hamlets, so no doubt (Ills and the almost atnphibi ous life the Dutchman lends among his canals and ditches account for the popularity of the fishing rod and line.

Tompestuous Jupiter.

But they furnish additional proof that the motions visible on the great planet's surface are not uniform from year to year For about twelve years lhe equatorial region appears to have experienced an acceleration of velocity.

Why Is It tlitlswise? New Orleans Picayune-. A Long L’fe and a Broad One. An English doctor recently said that ambition to live to a great old age isn’t a good one and doubted whether con stant efforts to lengthen the average life are for the good of the race. He apparently favors a short life and a uierrv one. Perhaps It isn't long life that makes the world happy, but broad life. Thirty full, energetic years may be better than sixty years of common place drudgery. But why not sixty full, energetic years? Who knows what the world loses when a man dies at thirty? So much has been accom plished by men who have reached sixty md even seventy and eighty that it seems good policy to keep all persons on earth ns long as possible.

He was accompanied by bls daughter, a pretty little girl of about five years of age, who was thirsting for Information. The proud parent was explaining at some length that car conductors do not retain the whole contents of their bags for their own personal use. when the little girl interrupted him with an in t«rr<>gative "Eh?” "Wha’ learned you tae say ’eh'?" asked the father in reproving tones •'When yon don’t hear whit onybody «ays you slmuld not say 'eh': It’» no polite; you sbonld siy—’whit.’” Breaking It Gently.

Were we rumtported to the planet Venus a peculiar set of views could be obtained ot our earth, enabling us o see ourselves, to some extent at »east, as others see us Venus is about the same size us the euiNii. Is some what closer to lhe sun and has more atumspiicie than the earth. When the earth aud Venus are nearest to gether they are. ot course, mi the same side of the sun. and in. consequence of this the earth does nut see more than a very small part of Venus Illuminat ed. but Venus. <m the other lixtid. sees all of one side of the earth llluminat ed and is therefore able to claim she has something that takes lhe place of u moon, for the earth to Venus nt this time looks very htrgv and bright, al most as much so us ouijooou does to us. if we could see nil the Illuminated surface of Venus on these occasions we should have qulle a distinct sec ond moon When we do see all of her illuminated surface she Is on the op posite side of the sun from us nnd consequently nt an enormous distance, yet she Is so brilliant ns to prevent us from seeing her surface distinctly. But to our own moon we appear in the best light as a moon. A full earth as seen from the moon, according to Todd and other astronomers, is n very inspiring sight. It can nt once bo seen why this Is necessarily true. Tho earth Is several times larger than the I moon and would appear in the heav I ens as n disk about fourteen times the size of the moon it would probably •bine with a variable light, due to the shifting clouds of the earth, thougu the light Is. of course, reflected from the suu, aud the reflection Is due in part to the upper surfaces of the clouds The outlines of the continents of the earth appear very clearly to the moon as if they were formed in papiet rnache on a globe.
