Holdup Mai Looses Nerve
A weak hearted holdup man attemp
ted to hold up Ira J. 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

Holland's Ways.
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. The country villages with their
white and green painted houses and
pretty gardens are made more attrac

rates, of rotation These do not affect
the round numbers tn which the equa

proof that the motions visible on the

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

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

this the earth does nut see more than
a very small part of Venus Illuminat

all of one side of the earth llluminat

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

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

it would probably

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

The outlines of the continents of the
earth appear very clearly to the moon
as if they were formed in papiet
