all men are civilly equal before the law
When man says. !; I'm just as good as
any man. it may be 30. and it may not
be so. When the universal man says
so, it's lie.
That has been the grand blunder Of
the Communists and In,.rnationals -
They wanted all men equal with unequal
means. The most productive part Of
man is the animal part. A man shears a
sheep. and there are five hundred men in
the same township who can do the same
thing. Then the wool is sent to the
mauufactory, but there will not be FIVE
hundred men who can weave the fine
cloth. The result is that the man who
shears gets one dollar day, while the
weaver gets three or four dollars day
This is the result Of brains and educa
ton.
TRUE REsPECTABiLITY.
In Ohio when lived there, knew
eminently educated German gentlemen
earning q dollar a day breaking stones
on . macadamized road. Measured by
avocation they were law but they were
thinkers. ranking higher-they were
honorable.
A man who has been q hard worker
all his life says to himself: IL have a
smart boy. Ill give him chances l
never had. Ill give him a good educa
tion. Yes. Ill make lawyer out of
him" lmmoderate~ laughter In the
month Of June there will be five hun
dred thousand blossoms on every apple
tree There will be about three hun
dred apples. and the remainder will drop
to The ground. 1t is the tamr in all pro-
fessions. Out of five hundred thousand
candidates there will be only three hun
dred professional men.
TUE CURSE OF WEALTH.
The great trouble is that men are more
anxious to be rich than to be happy. l
never knew a minister who warned bis
people about being extravasant. who re-
fused to receive . good salary. l never
derived wealth. never exhorted you
about being economical, for l would just

A man may be rici, and yet be fool
OF one hundred who have wealth, but
one knows how to use it. The insane
notion that ii man only had wealth he
wouldn't want anything else. has been
the rum of many young men. Sudden
dream of many uen in the cities who
have LETT their farms and workshops to
come here. l venture to say iha, there
are 5000 young men here between twen-
ty and thirty years Of age who have
nothing to do
NEW YORK IS FULL OF THEM.

Not alone is this the case in New York,

Thousands of young men would starve
