The world and everything it contains is
governed by certain immutable laws. which
cannot be infringed upon. neglected. or de-

BILE penalty-cOnfusion, calamity and

The great human family. as a whole, may
,be aptly compared to watch-each part
complete in itself, but yet inter dependent
the one on the other-helpless alone, ef-
fective only when in combination. Each
individual has it's own especial work to
perform, but he cannot transfer his duties
to another, nor take anOther'S duties on
himself.
The ludicrous absurdity of the axiom
which heads this article is therefore pain
fully apparent. There never was nor never
will be, absolute equality in man-phySic-
ally. mentally or morally; in social position
or intellectual qualifications there must
necessarily be gradations and special adapta-

to one common end. The first essential
element of success in any scheme or under
taking is harmony of purpose and harmony
in actiOn-withOut it. friction and utter
ruin is the inevitable result.
The sentiment involved in the motto
above quoted originated many ages since,

THE WIDOWS SON.

BY NJ. N. NJ.
AS the wide world, my boy,
Stretches before you in its radiant guse;
And to your beaming eyes,
Hope floods with sunshine all your morning skies.
And every siren voice is tuned to joy.
Pause. eer the race begin.
And gazing down the vista of long years.
Where naught appears
To mar each airy castle youth uprears,
Ask of the prize your eager soul may win
Shall it be Fame
That comes to greet you with laurel crown
OF high renown?
Shall gold, high heaped, all aspirations drown,
Save those of lucre in the worlds turmoil?
Shall light winged Pleasure spread
Her painted toys to lure your steps astray?
All. not alway
She flutters tireless in unclouded day,
Dark shadows come cen where her footsteps
tread.
Fair it will seem when first
You burst away to tempt the untraveed road,
Brooking not river or goad.
For youth so blind, believeth all things good.
AL waters pure, where it would slake its thirst.
But ah. not always bright
May be thy lfe-path. every ill removed,
Oh! child so dearly loved.
Because so early orphaned.-l have proved.
That suniest morn may end in darkest night.
Then. should the glittering goal
Recede when almost seems the race complete,
When your tired feet
Shall find the road so long. rough; replete
With sharpest thorns that pierce and wound the
soul.
You will percharce recall
A mothers voice, albeit so long unheard.
Speaking some tender word
OF counsel, when thy boyish heart was stirred
With the high hopes which asked to venture ALL
Some loving word that told
OF safer paths, of fairer, purer skies.
OF that which lies
Above, beyond our poor humanities.
Where change comes not and love can ne er grow
cold.
So, e'er your feet shall press.
As press they must. the worlds uncertain way,
Awhile the race delay
To seek the Hand which cannot lead astray,-
A Fathers Hand, to strengthen. guide and bless.

on the matter. make definite choice of
some one calling that you feel lies within
the compass of your ability, and is in con-
formitY with your taste; and having so de-
cided. learn thoroughly everything in con-
nectiOn with that trade, until you are a
complete master of all its intricaces and
peculiarities. This done, occupy your spare
time in supplying any deficiencies in your
educational requirements which may exist.
by availing yourself of the facilities of
school and library-and you will have,
within your grasp. tangible foundation on
which to build your future. when tie time
of your liberation shall come.
There are others of US, however, who are
experts in some branches of industry; and
who have already determined in their own
minds the course they will pursue after
their release. They have achieved certain
reputation for skill and experience in their
special avOcatiOns. and they have definite
idea where to find a market for their labor
But even they may find a profitable occupa-
tiOn for their leisure moments while here.
Can they not with great advantage to them
selves. pass in critical review the mistakes
they have made-the shoals and quicksands
on which their fortunes have been wrecked?
They know that they have the stuff in them
to accomplish greater triumphs and ascend
to higher levels in their respective walks in
life than they have ever before attained.
The only difficulty with all of us, in the
past has been that we have wasted too
much time in specializing and thinking of
other men--and have neglected to cOntem-
plate our own possibilities and develop our
own powers. We have squandered our op-
pOrtunities in the indulgence of petty jeal-
Onsies and exaggerated anticipatiOns--we
have grasped at the shadow and lost the
substance.
Let us all, then, from this time hence
forth. determine to lose sight of the falla-
ciOus and injurious maxim that lone man
is as good as another;" and resolve. under
all circumstances. that we will be the best
man-the most courageous, perseverng,
skilful and reliable representative of that
branch of industry to which we have de-
voted ourselves. Determine to have moth
ing to do with organizations for the coer
ciOn or limitation of labor interests-dis
solve all connection with demagOgues. labor
refOrmerS, or strike prOmOterS-and be pre-
pared Ito paddle our own canoe" and rely
solely on our own merits ability and in
tegrity of purpose for our future progress.
Let us avoid every organization or scheme,
which would have a tendency to antagOnize
us with our fellow wOrkmen, produce dis
sensiOn or bad feeling, or in any way dis
tract our attention or wean us from the at
traction of the home circle. and the tender
ties of affection and friendship. Let our
motto for the future be "A long pull, a
strong pull, and a pull altogether" in the
maintenance of harmony. good faith. and
the conservation of the best interests of the
community. as united and a prosperous
whole. Fig.

Put no act into your life that you do not

The great secret of success in life is to be

CATCHING THE SHARK.
After He Takes the Hook He Makes Things
Very Lively for a Time.

After He Takes the Hook He Makes Things
Very Lively for Time.
New York sun.I
Every fisherman loves to hook big fish,
and angling for sharks gives some promise
of becoming popular. With his dorsal fin
in full view, the movements of shark can
be easily detected, and the fisherman has
only to place the bait where the fish is likely
to see it. The tackle consists of two or
three hundred feet of manila rope, about as
thick as common clothesline, big steel
hook, and a chain leader. The bait is
usually two or three weakfish. A float or
"dobber." as it is technically called, is used,
and when a shark bites, this float disappears
under water just as rapidly as a little
painted cork does when weakfsb takes the
bait
Then comes the tug Of war. The shark
tows the boat sometimes at lively rate, but
after few runs he capitulates and consents
to come in toward the shore. The crew, on
reaching shallow water, jump out of the
boat and grab the line. Reinforcements
usually arrive at the proper time, and the
captive is dragged ashore by main force.
Then he is clubbed to death with fence rails
and all sorts of available weapons heavy
enough for the purpose.
This operation is performed, not in spirit
of cruelty, but for the purpose of making
him quiet enough to allow one of the
sportsmen to cut the hook out of his mouth.
This is sometimes dangerous operation.
A shark dies hard and his teeth are to be
avoided. A thick piece of wood is thrust
into his mouth, and this keeps him from
closing his jaws upon the hands of the
operator.

SLOT MACHINES IN PARIS.

The Man Who Works the Lead Nickel
Racket is Very Persistent There.
Paris Edition New York Herald.j
The man who would deliberately cheat
confiding and helpless slot machine deserves
the reprobation of mankind. Yet this cow
ardly variety of swindler exists. He ap-
proaches the unsuspecting machine with its
smiling slot waiting for him and into that
innocent slot he drops piece of lead of the
weight and shape of q penny. Instantly the
machine yields up its cigar, its bot
tie of perfume or whatever else may
be its stock in trade, and congratu-
lates itself on the briskness of business.
The other day the proprietor of one of
these machines unlocked its treasury, only
to find it full of pieces of lead. 1t had been
the victim OF a wretch with several pounds
of lead, and had nearly worn itself out by
the rapidity with which it satisfied his de-
mands. Clearly the slot machine is too
good and innocent for this world, and un-
less il can be taught to discriminate be-
tween lead and lawful money its usefulness
is over.

POOR MARION MANOLA,

All Her Unhnppiness Caused for Advertis.
ing Purposes.
New York Letter in Philadelphia Times.l
Ben Stevens and his star, De Wolf Hop
per, have been doing some clever advertis-
ing. They succeeded in working up Marion
Manola into frenzy of temper about hav-
ing her picture taken in tights. She abso-
lutely refused, and rushed into print with
series of caustic interviews explaining her
reasons therefor. When Stevens got every-
one to talking about Manols and her tights,
he undertook to steal a march on her and
had photographer to catch her unawares
on the stage, and photograph her by fash
light.
The attempt was made and created a SEN
sation, as the astute manager expected it
would. The public took sides with Manola
and the result is an increase OF business, and
Stevens congratulates himself upon having
done one of the slickest pieces of advertis-
ing ever attempted in this country. Despite
the managers glee, Manola is still: indig-
nant, and although she sings every night
she does so under half protest.
