If man drinks liquor until he is forty.
five years old it is not likely that ho
will ever permanently reform. There
are exceptions, but the statement we
have made is also in accordance
with our extended observation. If a
drinking man forty-five years old should
read this, let him try it, and if he can
show us that we are wrong, write us

this is about all that can be said on

in eating arsenic than he does in drink
ing rum. The arsenic kills a little
quicker, but though it takes a little
longer. you will get there, friend,
through the rum bottle. 1t is possible
for an individual to take arsenic regu-
larly and yet live for years. Generally,
however, it is dead shot. In drink
ing the shot is Just as deadly but it re.
quires more time. The dangers, there
fore, are about the same. The vast
majority of people are fully aware of
what they NAV expect If they take arse.

Holy Living.

A holy life is made up of number
of small things; little words, not elo-
quent speeches or sermons; little deeds,
not miracles or battles, nor one great
heroic act Of mighty martyrdom, make
up the true Christian life. The little
sunbeam, not the lightning, the waters
OF Sloan that 60 softly" in the meek
mission OF refreshment,. not the "wa-
ters of the river, great and many"
rushing down in noisy torrents, are the
true symbols of holy life. The avoid
ance of little evils, little sins, little in
consistencies. little weaknesses, little
fOllies, indiscretions and imprudences,
little foibles, little indulgences of the
fiesh-the avoidance of such little
things as these goes far to make up, at
least, the negative beauty of holy life. -

CHOICE EXTRACTS.

i have heard people talk of wat
they could do, what they knew, when
they were at school, as though they
were on the summit in school days,
and had been going down hill ever
since.-Rec. G L. Guild.
Expect not praise without envy
until you are dead. Honors bestowed
on the illustrious dead have in them no
admixture of envy; for the living pity
the dead; and pity and envy, like oil
and vinegar assimilate nOt.-COiton.
Strive everywhere and in all things
to be at peace. If trouble comes from
within or without, treat it peacefully.
II joy comes, treat it peacefully, with
out excitement. II we must need flee
from evil, let US do it calmly without
agitation, or we may stumble and fall
in our haste. Let us do good peace
fully, or our hurry will lead us into
endless faults. Even repentance Is
work which should he carried on peace
tully.-St. Francis De Sales.
Faithful continuance in well do
ing" is always worth while. The
harvests that come slowly are none the
less sure to come. Because they do
not ripen Immediately they are none
the less sure to ripen and all the more
rich when they do ripen. In all the
best things in the world we walk by
faith and not by sight. 1t must be
burned into our hearts SO that no de-
lay and no doubt can efface it, that
Gods work Is u great work, worthy oi
our best endeavor, worthy OF our in
creasing devotion, and worthy Of our
warmest enthusiasm. To every one
who would hinder us or divert rs, OF
discourage us, we should have but ons
reply: 1--WE are doing great work,
So that we can not coma down."--Ad

none of those troublesome chores were

Running hastily to the barn he fell
and tore hole in his trousers.

up and going toward the house. But

1t had been when mamma gave him
the needle and thread. But now. as he
took fine needle and coarse thread.
he wondered why it had never seemed
so hard before. 1t took him a long
time to thread the needle, and then
every stitch was separate trial He
tugged away, got hot and tiurried and
prickcd his finger time and again.
At last, he felt sure the button was
sewed on tight But as he sprang up
TO put on the trousers. he found that
they were sewed to the skirt of the coat
he had on. With tears halfway to his
eyes. he took out his knife and cut the
stitches. No one was waiting to see if
his necktie was neatly tied, or to hand
him his books. The school-bell was
ringing, and he rushed away with the
torn trousers on.
But he was late, to his great regret:
for he had begun school with II resolve
not to have one tardy mark during the
year.

To the Editor of the Indiana polls Journal:
Once more the News is wrong. 1 see in its is
sue of last evening, referring to the meeting OF
the Department Encampment, G. A. R., and the
prospective candidate for department command
err it states that Dan NJ. Ransdell received the
unanimous Endorsement of the representatives
of this city, at a meeting Friday night, with
the single exception of those from George III.
Chapman Post. The fact is there are
forty one representatives to the encampment in
this city, and but nineteen were present at the
meeting referred to- and of these Ransdell re-
ceived but twelve votes. Chapman Post. the
third largest in the State and Bross Post, No.

The Town of Salisbury.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
In your column of Queries and Answers" in
the Sunday Journal you tell H. o. Osier, of
Muncie, that Oliver p Morton was born Aug
A, 1929 in the village of Salisbury. this county,
which I think is incorrect. The date OF his
birth is right. but local history gives Center
township as the place of his birth. The town
Salisbury (not Salisbury was probably
totally obliterated from the face Of
the earth at the time of his
birth. Salisbury was the first county
seat, permanently established as the seat Of JUS
tice on the sixty-fve-acre donation made by
Samuel Woods tabout midway between this city
and Centreville) in 1910" But efforts were at
once made to secure the removal of the county
seat to Centerville, and during bitter strife
that lasted several years an act was passed
authorizing the removal in 1916. Then the
same local history says: Salisbury was rapidly
deserted; the few frame and brick buildings
were taken down and some of them removed to
Richmond. There remains nothing on
the site indicating that a town was ever there"

An Odd Commentary.

There seems to be but little doubt that the Le-
high Valley road is to secure an independent line
into Philadelphia by securing the North Penn
sylvania When the late Judge Packer COM
menced to build the Lehigh Valley road he at
tempted to get the North Pennsylvania people to
indorse the Lehigh Valley bonds in return for a
profitable traffic arrangement; but the North
Pennsylvania management then wished for
nothing but connection with the Erie railway,
and sent Judge Packer to the rightabout The
Judge finished his line in spite of the rebuff and
the North Pennsylvania eventually got into a
perfect sea of hot water. The Philadelphia Rec
ord says it is an odd commentary that the Lee
high Valley is about to become the practical wet
