Mary had little lamb.
Its fleece was white as snow;
1t strayed away one summer day
Where lambs should never go.
Then Mary sat her quickly down
And tears streamed from her eyes;
She never found the lamb, because
She did not advertise.
And Mary had brother john,
Who kept q village store;
He sat lin down and smoked his pire
AnL watched the open door.
And a. the people passed along
And did not stop to buy,
John still sat down and smoked bis ~.
And blinked his sleepy eye.
And SO the sheriff closed him out,
But still he fingered near.
And Mary came to drop with him
A sympathetic tear.

IT is one of the sad features OF our
time that the pursuit of wealth crowds
out in the minds of our citizens, a
proper regard for and Just discharge
of the whole duty OF American citi-
zenship. They who strive for wealth
do not interest themselves in the
affairs of state, in politics, in the adj
ministration of government, except to
the extent of subscribing their person
al pecuniary interests. Government,
with such people. simply means ma
chine for enacting laws that will en-
able them to pile up money. And be-
You'd that they have no concern for it.
With all the higher, worthier and
robler purposes of government they
are not in special sympathy. They
allow politics to drift as it may, feel
ing that they will be able, in any
event, to utilize things for their one
paramount object-the accumulation
of wealth.

WE have in our minds eye an OLD
codger we knew when he was young.
He had the strangest opinions you
ever heard of. He thought an honest
man deserving of condolences; that a
man who was Industrious and prompt
~ paid his debts. and did not wrong
others in any way. was Il good citizen;
and that fellows mother was his best
and most unselfish friend. We saw
him, the other day, and we don't think
the old fool has learned more than he
knew at twenty. He still cllngs to
those opinions. We might multiply
examples, but have given sufficient to
show that the fool-kil,er has not done
his whole duty. Young man, if you
would be wise, change your opinions
promptly. and take up every new
tangled notion that comes along.

The unwritten law in this case is for

The camp meeting was originally
designed to carry the gospel into the
highways and hedges and to reach
districts remote from churches. In
time it became popular resort, at
tracing crowds that were drawn by
curiosity and idle pleasure. A few
enjoyed the religious fcrvor and en-.
thusiasm which the camp meeting was
sure to kindle. Some who came to
scoff stayed to pray. Others received
no particular spiritual benefit but the
week in the open air with respectable
company tended to health as well as
morality.

AMONG the principal things which
operate to lengthen out the period OF
effective human life nowadays are
better food supplies than our fore
fathers had-gained through the ap-
plication OF scientific methods to food
production--better cooking; more
general distribution OF better kinds OF
clothing; better sanitation in every
form; better observance of the laws
of health and hygiene; better methods
and appliances for preserving and re-
storing health, and better everything
upon which life depends, and in the
proper use of which it is easily and
surely prolonS ed.
