With the High School Classics By MARGARET BOYD iM«u«.4M*»e»aMO..»»B..O'.tt..9»0.4-o»»««»*..«Me-*»s«i (© by Margaret Boyd.) *sa \The seeming truth which cunning times put on To entrap the wisest.\ . —The Merchant of Venice. Little evil is clone in the world by obvious untruth; the danger Is from untruth that passes for truth. People do not willingly believe a lie. Early in life children ask of tales told them, \Is It true?\ They continue to ask the same thing all their lives. ;It Is not, however, always easy to learn\ what is true. Some of the an- cients said truth lived at the top of a very steep mountain; others said she lived at the bottom of a well. No matter which dwelling place was ascribed to her, all acknowledge that it was difficult to catch a glimpse of •her. Whether we climb to truth by hard mental labor or dig for truth among the thoughts'of other men, 'truth will never be found without work and Inconvenience. Emerson said: \God offers to every mind its choice between truth and re- pose. Take which you please, you can never have both. Between these, ns a pendulum, man oscillates ever. He in whom the love of repose predominates will accept the first creed, the first philosophy, the first political party he meets, most likely his father's. He gets rest, commodity and reputation; but he shuts the door of truth. He in whom the love of truth predominates sub- mits to the inconvenience of suspense and imperfect opinions.\ When we look about us the earth seems flat. Hills and mountains seem to rest upon It as objects on a table. For centuries the wisest men believed the earth was flat and so taught their pupils. The seeming truth of the world's shape was disproved less than five centuries ago. When the truth of a simple physical fact, such as the earth's Shape, was so hard to come at, It is small wonder that the truth of facts Involving human actions and the truth of ideas and opinions is so dif- ficult to learn. We are wont to look upon history as truth; but Carlyle deflned history as \a distillation of rumor,\ and Na- poleon defined it as \a fable agreed upon.\ While Voltaire, writing upon one phase of history, pointed out: \So many hidden causes are \associated at times with the apparent cause, so many unknown springs may be at work In the persecution of a man that it is Impossible, centuries afterward, to discover the hidden source of the misfortune, even of ' distinguished men.\ WHY ST. LAWRENCE L '284 STUDENTS GRADUATE IN SEPTEMBER. During the month of September the International Correspondence Schools, of Scranton, Pa., sent out 284 diplomas to successful students all over the globe. »TMs included a great many different courses. It shows the great field of training this school is carrying on with men and women all over the world. Several. diplomas have come to students in this vicinity and a number of students are filling responsible positions at the present time. In Jefferson county alone over 6,000' students are enrolled in this school. The students from '.he I. C. S. from Northern New York are filling responsible positions in this vicinity, and also some of them have gone to use their training in larger cities. In the recent issue of the Ambition Magazine is an article on George A. Fairbanks, Designing En- gineer of the Bagley & .Sewall com- pany, Watertown, N. Y., and reads in part—\The I. C. S. instruction has stood the test. I 'find them the best and most dependable and simplest authorities that I can see.

A CENTURY OF STABILITY EDITOR DARROW, OF THE OG- DENSBURG ADVANCE, SAYS CHICAGO IS TO BLAME. The low water in the St. Lawrence river this year which everyone has noticed and which has seriously inter- fered with navigation has forcibly drawn attention to the diversion of water from the Great Lakes by the Chicago drainage canal. Hitherto it has often been spoken of as a pos- sible danger,' but it was claimed that the amount was so small in compari- son with the great volume that it could not affect the level of water in the lakes and St. Lawrence river. The water taken at Chicago is for the purpose of diluting sewerage, that is drained off through an arti- ficial canal into the Illinois river and thence down the Mississippi—a very dirty piece of business which must eventually create a great nuisance throughout that whole country. There is no -reason why Chicago should not come to the scientific rational sewage disposal plan which- all cities will eventually have to adopt unless the waters of the country are to be poisoned by the pollution. However, Chicago in some way se- cured consent from the United States to divert 4,167 cubic feet of water per second, but has been steadily exceed- ing that and has been using 8,000' cubic feet and sometimes 10,000. While not admitting thai this affects the level of water in the lakes and the St. Lawrence, Chicago proposes, in order to avoid any controversy re- garding navigation, to erect a daim in Niagara river near Buffalo to main- tain the level of the water in Lake Erie and another at the Galop rapids a few miles below Ogdensiburg to deepen the waiter in the St. Lawrence at a cost of. $2,500,000. This it is claimed would always hold the water to the depth that it is at present and do away with any navigation prob- lems. Even if Chicago could be successful in keeping the water level in the lakes and river another question is assuming great importance which means much to Canada and United States users of power at Niagara and the .St. Lawrence. Neither have .given consent to the diversion of the water at Chicago and it is a well known principle of law that there can be no diversion from the head waters of a natural stream to the injury of those possessing .water rights further down. Sir Adam Beck, the electrical expert of the Province of Ontario, in a re- cent publication calls attention to the enormous losses occasioned by this diversion. He says this surplus wa- ter is the property of the Province of Ontario and \of this part of the Unit- ed States. If ten thousand cubic feet of water now diverted at Chicago was allowed to flow in its natural chanel it would develop at Niagara and the St. Lawrence i-iver approximately 500,000 horse power—300,000 of which would belong to Canada. Upon a conservative basis this would be equivalent to five million tons of coal worth about $25,000,000. The pro- posal of Chicago to build these $2,- ' 500,000 dams could not be taken into consideration as a means of compen- sating for an anual loss of upwards of $35,000,000. Every foot of water which Chicago lakes out of the Great Lakes is a direct loss to the Domin- ion of Canada and is also a loss to the state of New Yoi'k and to every state that might benefit from the United States' share of the diverted waters if allowed to course via their natural channel to the Atlantic. The states of Michigan, Wisconsin, New York, the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec and the governments of the United States and Canada have all registered strong protests against such illegal diversion of the waters of the Great Lakes as is being made at Chicago. These various protests have been virtually ignored, and about double the amount of water is being taken than the original 4,167 cubic feet per second as originally contem- plated. It is found that the canal was constructed large enough to take care of 14,000 cubic feet and the chief engineer of Chicago's sanitary distract stated it was his hope and in- tention to excavate a channel with a capacity of 16,000 feet per second. This is more than the water that now runs over the American falls at Niagara. Three hundred and -fifty rmrwicipalties in Ontario are using hydro-electric power and have invest- ed two hundred and fifty millions of dollars in plants and the demand for power is increasing all the time. The use of this water by Chicago curtails their rights and falls directly on the citizens of Canada as well as power users in the United States. Sir Adam closes his article with the following strong statement: \The action of the sanitary district of Chicago in illegally diverting from the Great Lakes system the enormous quantity of water which is turned in- to the Mississippi is an act without parallel on the American continent. The citizens of 'Canada especially the citizens of Ontario are concerned to know how much longer the United States authorities will permit Chica- go to continue the diversion in de- fiance of every interest except the interests of the sanitary district itself.\ George P. Darrow. Springfield Republican: While pre-hictoric man is being raised to the sunlight in various and remote parts of_the world from Egypt to Mexico at the hands of archaeologists and excavators, a local resident with a memory that extends back half a century calls to mind the petrified Indian fake that was perpetrated here over 50 years ago. The \discovery\ in 1871 of the figure of a little Indian boy who was supposed to have cavorted gaily with the dinosaurs in the pre-historic age when the' latter left their tracks on the mud fiats of the Connecticut yal- ley, aroused the countryside to a- high pitch of excitement. The career of \Little Lo,\ as the fig-ure was called, was short, but intense. The fake petrification was made in Springfield, its executor being embold- ened by the success of the Cardiff giant, the bogus \petrified man\ carved in California, buried near •Cardiff, N. Y., and there discovered the previous year, in 1870. The made-in-iSpringfield Indian was taken to Turners Falls and buried secretly in the vicinity of the bird tract quar- ries. During the following winter the f abrcant of the plot guided a party of rabbit hunters to the spot and the great \discovery\ was made. The supposed body was taken to the Am- erican House, at Greenfield, 'where it ,was bought by Brooks Whitney, then of Shelburne Falls, who believed that it was a genuine skeleton. Mr. Whitney later sold it to Ab- ner Woodward, of Shelburne Falls, for 100 barrels of whiskey at the rate of $100 a barrel. Mr. Wood- ward got out a circular advertising the, \find\ and opened showrooms in Boston, where he did a boom business fooling the public and relieving the curious of spot cash at the rate of admission of 25 cents per. The poster carried a reproduction of the Indian boy and was headed \•Lo ! the poor Indian I\ In various Agrigraphs. \ A pig that doesnit make a hog of himself isn't profitable. An account book helps locate the no-account cows and crops. The housewife may like to sing, \The Old Oaken Bucket,\ but she'd prefer to sing it to the m.isie of the modem kitchen pump.

This interesting freak of nature has been pronounced by scientific men the most wonderful petrification known in the world; The limbs and body are symmetrical andy regularly formed, the £ace hears traces of agony and liad a deep sunken expression—it is destitute of a single repulsive fea- ture. The fact that the boy must have been imbedded in the rock when it was soft and plastic adds another link to the testimony in favor of the great antiquity of man upon earth. All should avail themselves of the in- terest : and information afforded .by an examination of the petrification.\ \Little Lo\ was exhibited at 104 Washington street, Boston, \on and after March 9, 1871. Whether the contemplation of the aborigines was considered, too much for feminine nerves or whether it was unseemly for them to fare forth upon the high- way at all hours, is uncertain, but it appears that while the exhibit was opened .to .men from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m., it was definitely stated, \ladies admitted from 2 to 5.\ The fake met its downfall through drink. The government seized the whiskey used in the trade for the statue on the ground that it was sold without license. On the witness' stand Mr. Whitney confessed to hav- ing obtained information that the Indian was a fake. Mr. Woodward 1 , who was arrested for selling liquor without a license, took the skeleton to Canada, where he did business with it for a while. The last known record of the skeleton was that it was lying in a Vermont post-office waiting for someone to pay $35 due on it. TO OUR DEBTORS. The following, written by Gilbert Hanper, appeared in the \Rounder's\ column, in the last issue of the St. Lawrence - Plaindealer, published at Canton: If we owed you and would not pay, What would you think? What would you say? If we would not pay what we owed you What would you think ? What would you do? What you would think, what you would say Would not be proper to display. The very first thing that you would do You'd call your lawyer, and have him sue. A merchant never likes to sue, But what on earth else can he do When many a debtor who does not pay Cares nothing for what he has to say ? They ask the favors he likes to give To assist his customers to live, And when he calls on them, to pay They close like claims and crawl away. We do not know, we can not say How a man feels who does not pay. What calloused thoughts slide neath his hair? He does not pay. * Does he not care ? Has he no thought of right or wrong? Is he so weak, to be helped along By those whose problems are just as • hard? Does he lack respect for his given word? Is he so small as to hoard away For added interest, and does not pay To him whose business must be kept straight By bankers' loans, at highest rate ? We care not what your creed may be On one thing we must all agree; The balance sheet on Heaven's roll Records all charge for \Mdse. Stole,\ And he who owes and will not pay Is no less a thief on judgment day. \Pay what thou owest,\ a Divine com- mand, To the end of time is sure to stand, And when there comes the Judgment Day, \As sure as hell\ you'll have to jiay. We do not care to say or think That you are sliding o'er the brink, But simply call on you to do What you'd expect, if we owed you. G ACCOUNT S ASSET TO FAR! IT SAVES HIM TIME IN PAYING BILLS AND GIVES HIM RE- CEIPTS FOR PURCHASES. - The first step in putting a farm on a business basis is to open a check- ing account; the second step, the economists at the State College of Agriculture point out, is to use it. It is surprising, farmers who have started bank accounts say, how much time they save through paying bills by check. With a check book and a few stamped envelopes, they can .pay as'many bills in fifteen minutes as they could pay in person in half a day. Most of the farmer's banking, further, can be done by mail. He may even mail to his bank the checks he receives which he wishes to de- posit without fear they will get in the hands of some one who will get the money on them. If a cheek is endorsed \for deposit only at the Citizens' Bank of Cape Vincent\ and then signed by the person to whom the check is made, no one can obtain the money, since the bank will honor it for deposit only. .Another advantage in a checking- account is that after the check has been cashed and is returned to the person who drew it, it becomes a re- ceipt. Many farmers have been saved from paying bills a second time because they have had these re- turned checks, or vouchers, proving payment. A checking account is almost a bookkeeping system, provided all re- ceipts for sales of farm products are deposited and all important expenses are paid by check.

Bowman will speak. The afternoon session will be held at Guilf oyle hall, Stone street, Water- town, N. Y. A very interesting pro- gram which will be both recreational and inspirational has been planned. Dr. Richard E. Sykes, president of St. Lawrence University will be the speaker. BUMPS AT RAIL CROSSINGS. t A reader sends in the following, which he says is a cheap way to re- duce, if not prevent, ' collisions be- tween trains and motor cars: In the load at every grade crossing place a series of bumps or \thank you mam's\ so severe as to compel a vehicle to go slowly, or, if it does not, to dis- able the car before it reaches the track, and milder warning bumps a sufficient distance away. All drivers who know that such a device is ahead of them will slow down, unless drunk or crazy. For the latter there is no remedy but to disable the ear. Hindu Legend. The Hindus have a legend that Hanuman, the monkey-laced god, with the aid of a monkey army, helped rescue the wife of the divine hero Rama from a demon. Another legend is that Hauuman brought men a stolen gift, the mango, a v.ilued In- dian fruit. For the theft the monkey was condemned to death by Hre, but It escaped with only Its hands, feet and face burned, and these have been black ever since. The Hiuiuman monkey In his native land Is a privileged being. In some Hindu communities these monkeys live In the top stories of the homes of the natives. If one native bears an- other a grudge, he places rice or corn on the enemy's roof and the monkey tears up the roof to secure the par- ticles which have fallen' into the crevices, so that the house is opened to the ruin.

Drivers that vary from foolish to damphoolish and crossings that are sometimes no more than hidden am- bushes, share the blame equally. The first will eliminate themselves in time perhaps, but laws penalizing cross- ings of tracks without slowing down to a low rate and looking both ways will help. An inspection of every crossing in the state could be made by an official with authority and where the approach of trains was screened by a building or natural ob- struction, protective measures could •be forced on the railroad m on the highway builder or property owner.

The creaking o' a hawser; the mark- ing o' the tide; And a ship like an eagle with her wind and foam— The lean masts—the' tall .musts; The smell o' ropes and tar; The thoughts o' bells to sound the hours; The steering by a star. I never see a ship come in, weary of wind and foam— But I would be aboard her decks, and laughing to be home. I never watch a ship set sail for some far, foreign place— But I'd be in her bows/ to feel the wind against my face. Folks think that I'm a plodding man, 1 ' and wedded to my ways— They'd call me daft to know the way I spend my holidays; A-hanging 'round the jetties and the wharves below the town, A-watching and a-wondering 'til the sun goes down. The lattle o' the winches; the lifting o' the chain; The singing o' the sailor men that face the sea again.
