Away up among the Alieghanies there
IL a spring so small that single OK In a
summers day could drain it dry. 1t
creeps on in its unpretending way
among the hills till IL spreads out into
the beautiful Ohio. Then il stretches
away thousand miles leaving on its
banks more than hundred cities and
villages and many a cultivated farm.
Then joining the Mississippi IL moves
along for twelve hundred miles more,
Till il falls into the great emblem of eter-
nifty.
Ii is one of the greatest tributaries of
the ocean. On its way il has done mar
wells, quenched the thirst of thousands,
carried aid to the sufferer, and pleasure to
the sorrowing. None have done more,
and yet, what small beginning!
II is just so with influence. Things
| which seem to us but small may turn the
| tide of nation or change the destiny of
my careless hand splashed down into
the lake below. Look at those concen.
trio rings rolling their tiny ripples
among the weeds, bathing the over
hanging boughs of yonder willow and
producing an influence slight but con-
scious, to the very shore on the other
side.
Every human being is the center of an
influence for good or evil No man can
| live unto himself. The meshes of net
are not more surely knit together than
man to man. That stray word of pride
or scorn dropped from the lips in casual
company produces u moments depres-
sion and that il all.
No, il IL not all! II deepened that
mans disgust at Goodness. il sharpened
the edge of that mans sarcasm, il sham
ed that half converted one out of her
penitent misgivings, and produced an
influence, slight, but eternal, on the des-
tiny Of many human lives. oh. il is a
terrible power that we have, this power
of influence; and il clings To us, we can
not shake il off. Ii was born with us,
il has grown with us, and il is strength
ened with our strength. II speaks, it
walks, il moves with us, il is i'm every
look, I'm every word, I'm every Thought,
in every act, all throughout life. We
cannot live To ourselves, we must either
he light Ia illumine or darkness 10 DER
shadow. We must either be an Abel,
who by his immortal righteousness be-
ing dead yet speaketh, or an Achan, the
sad continuance of whose otherwise tor
gotten name is the proof that man per-
ishes not alone i'm iniquity. Which shall
yours be, an influence that shall add
stars to your crown of rejoicing or thOrns
to your pillow Of torment? Place not
the cup to your nelghbOr's lips lest your
curse be like that of Jereboam, who
sinned and made Israel 10 sin. X. II.

THE Pioneer Press of last Sunday accus-
ed the manager of the Minneapolis Trib-
une of being nhumanly inquisitive al
the scene of the Rand disaster, and used
some very significant language in saying
so. On Tuesday the Tribune came out
with explanatory letters from some OF
the intimate friends Of the Rands vindi:
eating the Tribune man, who upon being
thus supported, let loose his ability To
characterize unpleasantly, and laid the
i. p. reporter out in great style. So the
two great journals are at it again.

IT does not seem to impress itself upon
the public mind very generally that we
now have a compulsory education law in

The st. Paul chamber of commerce
forcibly suggests that the school year IN
that city be changed from ten months to
nine, in the interest of retrenchmen
and the health of the school children. Il
is wise move, taken in humane sense
If children devote nine months to intel
lectual development, they should have
the other three for physical growth, ex
clusively. Besides it will free them o
the necessity of working in the schoo
room during the extremely heated

DR.. LEONARD, the prohibition can
didate for governor of Ohio, saws that
rather than vote for licensing the sale
of liquor, he would vote to place free

liquor where everyone could drink al

more like an ass than like man capable
of occupying the gubernatoral chair oI
