The Homely Girl.

How did that homely woman contrive Ia
get married." is not infrequently remarked
Of some good domestic creature whom her
husband regards as tho apple of his eye. and
in whose plain face he sees something better
than beauty.
Pretty girls who are vain Of their charms
are rather prone TO make observations of this
kind, and consciousness of the fact that
flowers of loneliness are left 10 pine on the
stem. while weeds of LONELINESS go of readi-
ly. is no doubt in many eases at the bottom Of
the sneering question.
The truth is that most men prefer homeli-
ness and amiablity to beauty and caprice.
Handsome women are sometimes very hard 10

selves. and, in waiting for an immense bid.

plain sisters on the contrary. are aware of

Dear temperance friends Of lola:
Having been in our sister State
Missouri, short time visiting friend.
1 wish to write few words of encour
agement to you who are engaged il
the cause of temperance.
1 left ElDorado for Missouri Feb
18th, and arrived in Sedalia the mex
morning. Having to wait a train 60

in the time sightseeing. The first
business houses" saw were six "a
looms all fronting Union Depot, all
decorated with such signs as these;
"Old Kentucky Bourbon" "Sou1
Mash, Wines, ""Liquors, ""Cigars,"
etc. There is no need of anyone going
thirsty in Sedalia while waiting for
trains, if he is q slave of intemperance.
Dnring the forenoon 1 took an electric
car and went sight seeing over the
city. 1t is a lovely city, but marred
in its beauty,-almost every other
business house decorated with saloon
signs. While looking at these saloon
signs L could not suppress the thought
"This shows I am out Of Gods coun-
try" In several of the saloon win
dows, among the numerous bottles of
wines and WHISTLES were jugs all
packed in boxes ready TO close up and
ship, and above them hung a placard
which read in this style: "seady for

An Address,

Township Teachers Association which assem-.
bled at LsHarpe Feb %, '9l, by J. T Wood
Published by request Of Association
We Oftimes hear it said, "Youns
men will SOW their wild oats" and as
truthfully said, "If they do they will
reap them" Some say, "Youns mel
will be young men," They ought tc
be. do not like to see old heads OIL
young shoulders. do not like to see
old young men. 1 like to see young men
full of life, in the vigo- of their young
manhood, seeking enjoyment in every
pursuit in which they engage, and
there is abundance of enjoyment fol
US.
Some people have an idea if we are
over-moral and Over-righteous that
we get sour like a vinegar cruet
There is no necessity for a man to be
sour and sorrowful and gloomy,-not
at all. God created us for enjoyment.
There is enjoyment in every lawful,
honorable pursuit that a man pursues
in manly spirit. There is enjoyment
in business, in recreation. 1 believe
in fun. 1t has been said that as man
is the ouly animal that can laugh he
ought to enjoy that privilege.
My young friends, 1 sincerely be-
lieve we do wrong if we do not enjoy
life when there are go many sources of
enjoyment. For example, suppose
we have the privilege, as we frequent
ly do, to hear the rendition of some
expert musician, and while We sit and
hear those wild, weird strains resolv-
ed into such wonderful harmony and
like Oliver Twist cry for More,
more" is not that, my friends, 4
source of rational enjoyment? And
should We not thank a God of mercy
and justice for such capacity for Ell
joyment? We have capacities for ell
joyment all around and about US.
When We look upon the beauties of
nature and all appears so sublime and
grand, is there not an emotion of
pleasure and happiness thrills our
souls? The dull animal gazes upon
all creation and sees no beauty In it:
there is 10 beauty in the landscape,
no loneliness in the view; 1t lifts its
dull eyes and gazes about it with no
emotion. But you and stand up and
all becomes beautiful. Why? Be-
cause man has soul that is like an
urn full of light, shedding its rays on
all creation and making it beautiful.
Mans perogative is to be brave
against himself. Let a man conquer
every evil passion, crush out every
unholy desire until he can shout, Vic
tory. That man is Drawer than any
man that stands up to fight against
bis fellow-man for money. Oh, there
are many INSTANCES Of this kind OF

these things, among others, which we
do not think are right, that we oppose
the Peoples party.
Mr.. Kelley again misapprehends us
when he says that we raise the point
against the A lliance that it is of south.
ern origin and seek thus to keep UP
the bitter feeling between the Nor til
and the South. Nothing could be
farther from the truth. During the
last campaign number of Republic
an papers did, We admit, make this
the ground of their heaviest assaults
against the Alliance party; but the
REGISTER did not once resort to that
argument during the entire campaign.
The editor of this paper made dozen
or more speeches last fall and in not
one of them did he allude in anyway
to the war or to any antagonism be-
tween the sections. The REGISTER
did state that one of the reasons why
the Alliance bore bad name was be-
cause it is of southern origin. But we
stated 1t simply as fact, which it is,
and not to urge that it should be go.
We regret that our critic should
have thought proper to make the
more or less plainly implied sugges-
ton that different course than the
one we have been following would be
to our financial advantage. The REG
lister desires to prosper, and it has
succeeded fairly well so far, but it has
never yet allowed the money question
to determins its policy or to dictate its
expression of opinion, and it hopes it
will never be reduced 80 low.
We do not wish to engage in any
with our friend Kelley.
We are glad he wrote his letter, for if
as fair and intelligent n man as he
failed to understand what we meant
to say then many others must also
have failed. BY way of reply we have
simply repeated here what we have
often said before, and We hope it is 80
clear now that even he who runs may
read. The only favor we beg of Mr..
Kelley and of others like him Is that
they will give our words their most
and natural meaning, and not
distort them into something we never
meant to say at all.
