LAST Tuesday the anniversary of
the Young America Fire Company
was celebrated in the afternoon by a
parade in which the Llliott's partici-
pated, and both companies presented
quite creditable appearance. An
amusing feature of this parade was a
company of boys bearing each a pla-
card with suggestive notices on them,
"Help our older bubs," "Whau's the
price Of old iron," "Where's our new
steamer" Young America, Juniors"
could not fail as q burlcsquc to sug-
gest the short comngs of our citizens
in the matter of providing the proper
care for our fire department. We
trust the hint will be taken and cf-
forts put forth to make amends. At
night splendid collation. was provid-
ed to which the two companies and
their invited guest did full justice.

About walking.

No two of us walk alike. The
hinges of our gates turn the same
way, but with different results.
The baby strikes toddle because
| it hasn't strength enough to walk,
but it has the underlying principles
of natural walk, because it "toes
in" "Toeing out" is military ar
tifice, invented for the express pur-
pose of showing how much more a
man knew than the Lord did.
The hippity, hoppity, skip and
Jump is the little girls gate. Uneasy
and restless the tlutter-bugget seems
determined to wear the sole of her
shoe and of her mother out at the
same time; but she is the prettiest
picture Of animation humanity eau
show.
The dead run all of out breath is
the small boys gait. You can set
down the boy who SO far forgetS
himself as to walk as already in his
dotage.
The bound to have-it-gate is a
rapid straightforward stride, never
turning to the right or left. The
man who has it knocks over children,
banks his shins against market bas-
kets, and stumpS his toe against
everything on the walk. But he gets
there, and his 'coat-tail arrives about
two minutes later.
There is the slow measured gate,
tread, tread, tread all day long. The
man who carries the hod has this
popularity down fine. lie would
run to a fire i'll the same step, and
get there-possibly.
The long lope, thirty-four inches
to the step, with sag of the knee
joint, a vigorous swing of the arms,
is that of the young man from Ru-
radon. He gets the walk from
going over the rough ground, and
anybody that gets the best of him
has got rough ground to go over.
The quck, sharp and spiteful gait
with the little metallic heels ringing
on the pavement, is the gait of the
smart young miss, with bright eyes
and lots Of vivacity. The young
man who intends to keep company
with her for life must make up his
mind to train to her step. She will
never train to his.
The everyday business gait. Going
right along with your feet, and your
thoughts in the office, store, shop, or
whatever it is. You never know
how far the walk, nor how long it
takes you to cover it. 1t is an in
definite and frequently the only aid
to good digestion.
The take it easy, don't-care-a-cent
sort Of a gait, with cane twirling
over his finger, is typical of the man
of the world. He leads life of lei
sure, and wouldn't hurry himself.
AS consequence he grows fat, rheu-
matte and equity, and in later years
walks with two canes and tremu-
lous limbs. 1t doesn't pay to bunch
your pleasure.
The slow gait. For further par
ticulars send boy on an errand.

The Habit of Self Control.
Ifthere Is one habit which above

LII there Is one ndDIt WHiCusuUOtC
all others, is deserving of cultiva.
ton it is that of self-control. In
fact it includes SO much that is of
value and Importance in life, that
it may almost be said that, in pro-
portion to its power, does a man
obtain his manhood and the wo-
man her womanhood. The abili-
ty to identify self with the high
est parts of our nature, and to
bring all the lower parts into sub
lection, or rather to draw them all
upward into harmony with the
best that we know, is the only CEN
trail power which applies vitality
to ali the rest.
How to develop this In the child
may we'll absorb the energy Of ev-
cry parent how TO cultivate 1t in
himself may we'll employ the wis
dom and enthusiasm of youth
Yet it is no mysterious or compli-
Gated path that leads to this goal.
1 he habit of self-control is but the
accumultion of continued acts of
self-denial for worthy object; it
is but the repeated authority of
the reason over the impulses, of
the judgment over the incinations,
of the sense Of duty over the de-
sires. He who has acquired this
habit, without painful effort, and
without any fear of revolt from
his appetites and passions, has
within him the source of all
real power and all true hap
piness. The force and energy
which he has put forth day
by day, and hour by hour, Is not
exhausted nor even diminished
on the contrary it has Increased
by use, and has become stronger
and keener by exercise; and, al
though it has already completed
its work in the past, it is still his
well-tried, true and powerful
weapon for future conflicts in high
er regions.-Philadelphia Ledger.

1t Is a small matter to take the

1t costs great deel in the course

leisure of age unreached.
