Such is life.

SELF. RESPONSIBILITY.

l have labored for years under the theory that we are responsible for every deed, good or bad, committed by us here below, but within the last month my belief has been changed greatly. From things that have lately come to pass before my very eyes, do not be- heve that a person, who is not strong enough to control himself, is wholly re- sponsible for his actions in life. This is broad statement to advance, and it may not hold water, but, nevertheless, am compelled by circumstances surrounding to just such belief. cannot be made to believe that any sane person will commit an act that will react, in the end, against him. There must be some thing wrong in ones makeup that forces him to commit an act of folly such as will bring about a fatal reaction in the end. If the moth had any control over itself it would not fly round and about a burning lamp until at last, by its mad flight it wings itself into the burning blaze and is lost forever. So with a man or woman. What man who has had full control over himself, would sit down on powder magazine with cigar in his mouth or commit any other act of folly that would so certainly bring about a re- action And if man is beyond his own control can he justly be held responsible for his deeds To be sure, am talking at random now. My mind will very likely change by tomorrow. may get kicked most severely during the day, and then, undoubtedly, will be convinced that each one is responsible for his ac- tions, and will be in for giving my kicker good bouncing on the ground that he knew what he was doing when he kicked me. It is quite natural for us to attempt to shiH our own responsibility upon others, and yet we do not care to be burdened with theirs.

CAN'T COMMIT SUICIDE AT PRESENT

CANT COMMIT SUICIDE AT PRESENT
 Though never considered it wrong to commit suicide when one arrives at the conclusion that his life is a mistake that he has become burden to others as well as himself-yet there is no danger of my rushing off at present. Ihave babes to look after and live for, and as am responsible for their existence hold myself duty bound to see that they are provided for and that they have a fair start in life.
 But there IS stronger reason yet why at present cannot afford to commit suicide l have number of creditors to look after. Who would care for them if were to leave for parts unknown Now have warm personal friends who would see that my babies are cared for were suddenly to depart, but doubt very much if have a friend who would con. slider 1t his sacred duty to make it pleas ant for my creditors after am gone. I am not perfectly honest, but prefer to leave this world square in my accounts with my fellow-men when 20. | don't want to become an angel, and just as l get fairly perched on the tree selected for me and become highly interested in the harmonies of my jews harp, have some other angel come along and thrust an unpaid bill right under my nose. Such thing may seem small to others, but it would knock my ideas of heaven sky-high.
The Arkansaw traveler., 1886-01-30
MY ENEMIES.

l consider that my enemies are equally as valuable to me as my friends, since they aid as much in making man of me It is my enemies who keep me on my guard; it is my friends who throw me of my guard. My friends accept me with. out due examination of my personal mer- its, but my enemies force me to rise by the sheer force of my intellect and man. hood. A man who has no enc mics lacks character and strength, and a man who has enemies and is afraid of them, lacks courage and manhood.
