and by taking proper interest in the
general welfare.
In educating our children, in show
ing them the difference between good
and evil, in intoxicating true Christian
principles in their hearts, in teaching
them to Glove God above all things
and our neighbors as ourselves" we
perform nothing more than our duty.
The love, honor, respect and submis-
sion shown by children to their parents
is exactly that which they are in duty
bound to do.
The soldier that becomes deliverer
of his country simply performs his
duty; had he neglected to do so he
would have sinned most grievously ; in
deed, he might not be censured for it
by the world, but when the opportu-
nifty offered itself, had he not taken
advantage of it, he would have vio-
lated his trust and be morally guilty OF
treason.
And so it is with everything else, in
religion, in business, in politics, in sci
ence, we require principle to work on,
for without it we are ship without q
rudder, an army without general, a
being without an aim.
The only one principle to guard and
guide us is to do our duty in all things,
and, having done so through life, we
may expect to hear at the end something
like well done, thou good and faithful
servant

OLDEST SPORTS Kn0Wn. Inc term originate

inc hares were the subject Of the chase and
genuine hounds were employed to assist
the sportsmen N running down their
game. At some date not easy to fix the
gentlemen engaged in the lun came to the
conclusion that there was about as much
fun in chasing imaginary hares as real
ones, and much more chance for emula-

notifications and it is day played under

the vicinity of New York the various
forms of the sport have been reduced to

BETTING TYPE
Hark TO the click

Hank to the click
OF the type in the sticki
They fall and they meet with monotonoua
Al swiftly the fingers that seize them go round
To hurry them into the stick.
With click, click,
There they are in the stick!
What do the types tell the world as they stand
Weak as nothing when single, combined they
wonder-power in their click,
As in order they march into the stick.
Look again in the stick
To the workers of evil they sorrow betide;
Away from the click, but the earth cannot hide
Them away from the click click,
OF the types falling into the stick.
As they click, click, in the stick.
Monarchs and tyrants their marshalling dread !;
They know that to freedom the types have
And the visions they see are in color blood red,
And they shake at the sound of the click.
Hark, the noise from the stick!
Guilt flies from the sound in a tremor OF fear;
But guilt cannot hide in the day or the night.
Though it try every method of hiding or flight,
From the sound of that terrible click.
Forever that click, click!
In the gas that makes the day-shine, or in the

And seeming to say: Here stand for the

Oppressors. beware of the stick,
Those gray-colored types in the stick!
States, monarchies, potentates, pashas and kings,
The painter the player, the poet who sings,
Stand in awe Of these poor, little, dull, leaden
things,
And the ominous noise of the click.
But these types in the stick,
To the Just and the true all nations around,
To the whole of mankind where the virtues

Most welcome to such is the musical sound

Aylmer's companion left the apart
ment. The detective thrilled wildly
as Aylmer himself, taking up mallet,
began to knock off the hoops of the
hogshead.
The detective was IN doubt as to how
to act. As the top boards were lifted
off, however, he sprang erect.
Leveling q revolver straight at the
head of the dumfounded smuggler,
he exclaimed, sharply:
"Percival Aylmer! you are my pris-
oner! A move, cry, an effort to dis
obey me, or escape, and I will kill

1t traversed mile or two of deserted
city streets, struck off for the suburbs,
and finally threaded lonely thorough
fare leading south down the coast.
Day was advanced many hours when
the wagon halted. The detective, glanc-
ing through the aperture, made out q
kind of rambling cabin, and beyond it
what seemed boarded-up cave.
Several desperate-looking men came
out and regarded the hogshead crit
cally. Then it was rolled through the
doorway of the boarded-up cave, and
then four weary hours went by for the
cooped-in Ridgely.
Voices sounded on his hearing al
last. CHANGING forth, the detective
saw two men. One of them had driven
from some dark compartments the
cavern a mule. Across its back were
strung two enormous baskets, such as
are used in South America to convey
merchandise.
There you are, Aylmer," spoke this
man, "to order, as you wantedit. You're

fearing that dripping oil might injure their
overcoats. ran into the store tore off large
pieces OF black cambria, fastened tapes in the

was quite novel idea. In this way their pecu-
Iar uniform came to be adopted. The forma-
