The Old Home.

A large proportion of our girls who
read this, will some day love and marry.
1t is we'll; it is right; but do not be in a
hurry to be grown up and away from
home. Life will never give you any
thing sweeter, better, happier, than you
have now, No love purer than your
mothers; no care more kindly than your
fathers: no companionship like that of
your brothers and sisters. Even to the
man who loves you, You will not be the
little Lily who was baby once; who
learned to walk and prattle, and who
was prettier than any other baby ever
was; nor the little girl who was so
wonderful genius when she played
her first tune on the piano or worked
her first book-mark. He who falls in
love with you may have known twenty
other pretty girls, and have been,
perhaps, at some time, In love with half
of them. In some things you will fall
short of some one he has known. Your
eyes will not be so fine as those of Miss
Lavina, and you will never make cake
as his mother does. Here at the old
home you have been perfection; even if
prudence kept your parents from say
ing so, they cannot believe any one
quite so nice as -FOUR Lily" Then lin
ger little here, where some one else
shoulders the burdens and shields you
from life's worry; where the love is a
love that does not change because of a
new face; where the innocent days of
childhood have been passed-your first
and best home,

of prohibition, but the questions now
are: "Shall the liquor traffic be taxed
the same as other business investments
are ?" and "Shall Sunday be observed
as a day of rest, instead of a day of reyeI-
ry?" The Republicans are boldly COM
mitted to the affirmative of both of these
issues. The Democratic party is making
a defensive warfare, and viii probably
lose, as nearly every battle is lost that is
Waged on the defensive.
Gov. Foster sounded the keynote of
the campaign in his opening speech, and
threw down the gauntlet in the following
gallant manner:
!" he said that the old party lines in
Ohio we're not worked this year as in
years previous, but that new question
has arisen that does not seem to give
them great hope Of success. Il refer
to the recent act OF the General Assem-
bly, in the proposal to tax The traffic in
intoxicating liquor, and to secure a quiet
and orderly Sabbath. The Republican
party proposes that Sunday shall be
day of rest, not of orgies and carnivals,
and that the liquor traffic shall be re-
stricted. The howl about invading the
sahctity of personal liberty simply arises
from the fact that We propose to pro-
hibit one days sale of intoxicating
liquor. That is the true anlrous of the
iouor-dealers' opposition. We desire
that every man shall make such use of
his time as he shall deem proper and
expedient, so long as he does not inter
fere with the rights OF others, and his
conduct is IN keeping with the public
good. We believe that Sunday should be
set apsrt, if for no higher motive, as a
day Of rest and recreation. Do we in
terfere with any mans rights In tais
position? Is it great privilege to get
drunk on Sunday? The Republican
party proposes to stand by the principle
that the saloon keeper shall conduct his
business as regards the Sabbath the same,
as other busit ess men. The liquor deal
ers have declared tbat they will resist
the enforcement of law. This is an issue
higher than restraint in the traffic or the
closing of saloons on Sunday. The Lii
duor Dealers Association defes the law,
and in some localities has sought to brow
beat and coerce the judiciary and intro
duce perjury into the jury box. and with
this association the Democratic party Is
in open alliance. At the brewers con-
ference, recently held, there were pres
ent the Chairman and two members of
the Democratic State Central Commit
tee. At the conference it is understood
that ali agreement was made by which
there will be a thorough co operation,
and it is further understood that the
brewers organization is to furnish the
money to run the Democratic campaign.
The question quickly resolves itself
whether law and order shall prevail, or
whether we shall have free rum and dis

The COWardiee of Suicide,

Suicide in the German army has of
late years been increasing at an alarming
extent and large percentage Of the
cases are attributed to disapp ointment
in love. Some one, in noting this fact
and the difficulty the authorities have in
finding means to resist the progress
of the evil, says the emperor might
profit by study of leaf from the
order book of Napoleon. Under the
consulate this same tendency had re-
yealed itself, and Napoleon published
the following order dated 1901 TO the
forces under his command: "The gren-
adler Gerdan has killed himself on
account of love affair. In other re-
spects he was good soldier. This is
the second occu1 ence of this sort that
has taken place IN the last month. The
first consul desires to notify to the guard
in the order of the day-frst, that a
soldier must learn to subjugate the pas
sions of grief and melancholy; secondly,
that Just as much courage is required
to endure soul suffering with fortitude
as to stand unmoved in the ranks under
the fire of battery. To give way
INTERESTINGLY to sorrow-to destroy ones
self to escape distress of mind is
equivalent to running away from a
battlefield before one has been beaten. F"

The. Dance of Death.

This name is given to a certain class
Of allegorical representations, illustrat-
i've of the universal power OF death, and
dating from the fourteenth century.
When the introduction of Christianity
ceptien of future state, a new descr;p-
ton Of Death mythology arose, partly
out Of Biblical sources, partly out of the
popular character ITSELF wherein the
last enemy was presented under simple
and majestic images, such as that of
husbandman watering the ground with
blood, blowing it with swords, roofing
out weeds, plucking up flowers, or fell
ing trees, sowing it with corpses or, of
a monarch assembling his armies, maxi
ing war, taking prisoners, inviting bis
subjects to festival, or citing them to
judgment But, with q gradual change
of national manners, came change in
the mode Of treating the subject, and it
was associated with every day images,
such as the confessional, chess-playing,
and, above all, with the adjuncts of
festival, viz, music and dancing. This
tendency to familiatize the theme in
creased during the confusion and turmoil
of the fourteenth century, when the ma
tional mind alternated between fits of
devotion and license, or blent both ele-
meats in satire and humor. Such
mood as this naturally occupied itself in
personifying Death, and adoptedby pref
erence the most startling and grotesque
images it could fnd-that of musician
playing to dancing men, or a dancer
leading them on; and as the dance and
the drama were intimately connected,
and employed on religious occasions.
this particular idea soon assumed dra-
matte form. This drama was most
simply constructed, consisting of short
dialogues between Death and "four.and-
twenty" or more followers, and was I'M
doubtedly acted in or near churches by
religious orders in Germany during the
fourteenth century and at rather late
period in France.

This was about the relative party vote
on the original passage of the bill. and
yet the World declares that it was in
troduced and passed as a Republican
party measure. The vote proves that
the iniquitous measure had the ardent
support of Democrats and Republicans
alike, and thet both alike are RESPONSE
bic for it. It is not becoming in the pot
to call the kettle black.
And even the World has the candor
to say, before it concludes its article,
that " the Democrats who voted for the
bill are, as individuals, in much worse
condition than the Republicans. True
enough. They are in a much worse
condition, because they are, individually
and collectively, just as much response
bic for the passage of the bill as the Re-
publicans are, and have not now the
courage to defend their public acts.
They add cowardice and meanness to the
