in behind the truck business, and
make it worth a half. million dollars
next year, and more the yfar follow-

county administration and help, it get
the good roads business. Closed up.
And let’s get in hand with the
city administration and \ help to
plan for better, city streets,
and then let’s get on the job
and organize a permanent lair asso-
ciation. Honest ' Injun, we would
like to hear it called a Fruit Palace,
because the name would go singing
around the globe, as it is individual
and carries a splelidid message. But
whatever we call it let’s get after it
right now, and. make our plans far
in advance. *• ‘ ■ I ■ >

KEEPING UP APPEARANCES.
-J
Keeping up appearances hass result-
ed in the sending of . hundreds of
young men to the penitentiaries, says
the Fort Worth Star-Telegraln. That
newspaper goes further and Says:
“They made their bluff among their
friends and associates 'that they were
prospering far beyond the degree re-
flected by their monthly pay check,
and floolishly thought they had to
make good. Tliey dipped into the
bank’s or the company’s funds; they
forged their employer’s name, think-
ing at the time they would pay it
back by a lucky turn of the ’market,’
and now-they are paying it back in
grinding toil, in prison stripes, in
the shame of relations and the coin
of woman’s tears. There’s no use in
bluffing. Be what.you are, and be
not ashamed of your daily task and
your daily wage, for if you ate, you
are being impelled daily to a condir
tion of real shame. Young wives, you
can’t escape your share of the re-
sponsibility. If you are more anx-
ious to impress your friends with
the fact that you have made a good
catch than you are to help your hus-
band stay out of debt, you Will re-
member it when the judge} pro-
nounces sentence. Appear merely

And then in the second place we
removed an impression that bad been

A. new declaration of independ-
.ence would give vigorous ex-
pression to tba popular convic-
tion that the natural'resources
of tbe, country. Including the
public health, are not to be sac-,
rificed to secure immediate prof-
its to a few individuals or cor-
porations today. It would also
recognize the direct functions of
government In preventing evils
and In promoting human wel-
fare. All action by government
which clearly prevents industeial
evils or promotes the bodily and
mental welfare of industrial
workers tends to. Increase indus-
trial freedom. All action by govt,
eminent which tends to facili-
tate the voluntary division and
redistribution of great proper-
ties to prevent the diseases ’and
vices which cause most of the .
degrading poverty or are caused
by it and to maintain between
the extremes of society—the very
j few rich and the fdw miserably
poor—a host of propertied, con-
servative people Very various in

Palesfiqe has an equipment now that
can be pointed to with pride, and
many visitors who know nothing
about fire fighting machinery would
be interested in inspecting the equip-
menr'and having* it explained. In
fact, the Herald believes it would be
a good thing to make this a perma-
nent feature in the town, with a
standing invitation to visitors afid
home folk to call and inspect the
plant, and have the firemen to extend
the usual courtesies. Many cities
make this a custom, and the firemen
take great pleasure in doing the hon-
ors to ail that come. What do you
know about it?

Monday. Funny how these Mondays
show up, isn’t it?
Of course you will observe Thanks-
giving. The best and the worst of us
can afford to be thankful.
merely - The colt show .here Saturday was a
what you are, striving always to at- Jtovelatidn to many people who knew
nothing about the interest in live
stock in this county. The Herald pre-
dicts that the next sho,w will be a
hummer, with a great many, more
and better colts to show. •

near to being lost
was thia most;
precious of - our
national docu-:
ments. It was
during the war of
181?. The Decla-
ration of Imdepen-
• dence hung . for
many years in a
frame in the state;
- department, in the!
room then occur!
Pm Pleasonton. Mr.
Beoseley, commissiongry of prisoners;
of war in London, forwarded to the
state department some London news?'
•papers stating that ihe English fleets:
and transports were receiving' tToopsr
at Bordeaux, France, with the -inten-
tion of operating against' Washington
and Baltimore. Boon after" it was
learned that the British fleet was in
the* Chesapeake bay and .that it was
ascending the Patuxent. TBatffficials'
and citizens of the little c&p^al city;,
were hourly expecting an attack.
Upon receipt of this information,
which was a few days before the ene-
my entered Washington, Mr. Monroe,1
then secretary'of state, James Madi-
son being president, mounted his
horse, rode to Benedict, a small vil-
lage on the Patuxent, where the Brit-
ish forces were being}- landed, and
climbed an eminence v^ithln a quar-
ter* of a mile of the village in order to
ascertain the strength of the enemy.’
Being convinced after bis Inspection
that we. had no force available that
could successfully resist them, he Bent
a note to Mr- Pleasonton by a vldette,
advising him to see that the best care
was taken of the books and papers of
the state department.
Acting at once upon this authority
Mr. Pleasonton purchased some coarse
linen and had it made into bags of
suitable size, in which he, assisted by
others in the office, placed the books
and other papers.
. While engaged in this work, Gen-
erabArmstrong, then secretary of war,
passing the state department on his
way to his own cffi*e, remarked that
he-thought, they were unnecessarily
alarming themselves, as he did not
think the British were serious in their
intentions of coming to Washington.
Fortunately^ Mr. Pleasanton was of a
different opinion, a^l observed that'it
was the part of prud\pce to take meas-
’Urts to preserve tl^pse valuable pa-
pers of the revolutionary governn^ent.
Had Mr. Pleasanton delayed but a few
days, had be followed the advice of
the secretary of war,'an irreparable
loss would have been sustained. For
tbe papers which Mr. Pleasanton had
placed in the coarse line|t bags com-
prised the secret journals of con-
gress, then not published;" the corre-
spondence of General Washington, his
commission, resigned at the close of
the war. the correspondence of Gen*
eral Greene and other officers of the
revolution, as well as laws, treaties
and correspondence of the department
of state, from the adoption of the con-
stitution down to that time.
Mr. Pleasanton had the bag6 started
to a grist mill, which be selected as

Tbe last load bad left and Mr. Pleas-
anton was quitting the vacant rooms
when, turning back suddenly to she
whether anything had- been left be-
hind, to his consternation he saw'the
^Declaration of Independence, which
bad been overlooked, hanging upon the,
wall. He hastily cut it out of the
frame and carried it away with the-
other papers. • ;
He then began io be Uneasy about,
the place he had chosen, for if the
.British took Washington, which, he
firmly believed they would do, and*
very soon at that,, they would in all
probability, detach a force for the pur?
pose of. destroying" a foundry for. the
, making of cannon and- shot in the"
neighborhood and, of course, would
consider a grist mill tod valuable a
thing to- be left standing in a country
they meanf to subdue. Mr. Pleasan-
ton; therefore,'-visited . some'"of the
Virginia farmhouses, whose owners
were only , too willing to loan him
wagons in which to convey the docu-
ments, to Leesbyrg, a .distance of Sfi
miles." There they vfere deposited in
