can approach danger and yet escape
No man knows just how much tempta-
tiOn he is able to resist until put to the
test. How often do we find some OF
our best and most useful men going as
tray just through careleSSneSS in avoid
ing temptation. The world is full of
dangers and pitfalls for unwary feet
but they are in most cases placarded
with the word Danger" The red
lights and danger signals are hung out
in warning to help us keep away from
them. We are to "Shun the very ap-
pearance of evil How often have we
seen men who sincerely wanted to quit
the use of intOXicantS and yet still hang
around the places where they are sold.
1t has been proved in war that the best
soldiers are not the most reckless and
daring, and the old veteran who will
lngly sought stump, a rock or tree
in battle, from behind which he was
still able to keep up his fire on the en-
emy, was rendering better service to
his country than the brave but careless
daredevil who was shot down at the
first or second vOlley. If duty calls you
to take risks take them, do not hesitate,
even though it may sometimes leopard
ize your life. But do not take them
unnecessarily. The story Of the queen
who wanted to hire a cOachman to take
her on a dangerous journey illustrates
what | am trying to get at. In answer
to her summons several cOachmen ap-
peared for the job. She asked the first,
"HOw close can you drive to danger
and yet be perfectly safe?" why,
your majesty said he, Il can drive
within foot of danger and you will be
safe." The second, in answer to the
same question, said, II can drive with
in a few inches of danger and yet you
will be perfectly safe" Then to the
third "And how close, sir, can you
drive to danger and still insure my
safety?" "Your majesty, 1 do not
know; l have never tried. | have al
ways kept as far away from danger as
possible. l have never taken any
such risks" "You are the coachman 1
want" said the queen. There now, do
you understand what l mean?

Truth and Error.

Ages and ages ago, there dwelt in
far distant country two youths, Truth
and Error. AS they grew towards
manhood they resolved to see the world.
They travelled through many lands.
Error being a precocious young man,
and fond of society, formed many &C
quaintances. Truth, by his modest and
retiring manner, was sighted and be-
came acquainted with but few. In the
course of time, Error settled in large
city and being brilliant and clever, was
cOurted alike by king and subject.
TRUTH after travelling many years, be-
gan to tire of his unsettled life, and
desiring to see how Error was getting
on in the world retraced his steps to
where he dwelt. But Error, grown rich
and naughty, and jealous lest Truth
should become favOrite, had no well
come for his former companion; he
prosecuted him and drove him from
the city. Truth, once more wanderer,
journeyed on, and finally took up his
abode in the heart of thinly settled
country; and as the road to his abode
led over high mountains and through
difficult passes Truth saw little of man
kind, and became acquainted with such
as dwelt near him, and only known to
those who sought him. &C.

"Taking the Risk"
SHORN POET,

Did the readers of THE MIRROR ever
stop to think how much weight those
few words have in making up the list
of criminals and crime? All men who
commit crime are not naturally de-
PRAYED. There are great many in
prisons to-day who simply owe their
incarceration to carelessness rather
than premeditated crime. That we
should keep as far away from danger
as possible we sometimes find out too
late to our sorrow. Men will take risks
in the everyday transactions of life
which they have no need to take, risks
which take them away from the path of
safety and rectitude; for instance, bOr-
rowing money or property to use with
the intention of returning, and prevent
ed from so doing by some unfortunate
accident. There are very few men con-
victed of embezzlement who really in
tended to steal the money. My opinion
is, that if the facts and figures were al
ways to be obtained, that over three
fourths of the cases of embeZzlement
began from borrowing few dollars of
friends held in trust with the intention
of repaying at once; repaying the sum
in a short time, and again borrowing
and repaying, and so on until there
came time when by some unforeseen
event, they were unable to repay, and
hence their ruin. l do not mean to say
that the act of borrowing money in
this way is not in and of itself a crime
for it is, but it is not a deliberate and
intentional crime. The crime comes
in taking the risk. How many men to-
day. under the pressure of Immediate
needs and wants, draw checks on banks
where they have no deposits, knowing
that in the course of business it will be
several days before the check reaches
the bank, and with every hope and eX-
pectatiOn of having the sum on deposit
before the check arrives. If successful
well and good, but if they fail in max
ing the deposit, though through no lack
of earnest effort on their part, their
crime is a serious one and they must
take the consequences. The crime was
really committed when they took the
risk. | cannot enumerate the many
ways in which man may commit
crime by taking risks, which he had no
need to take, for want of space, but
that they are numerous is a fact; and
that many unintentional crimes are
committed in this way is also a fact.
How many men there are who seem to
take delight in seeing how near they

" "POlitix."

The political storm is increasing in
volume and violence, extending from
California across the continent to Buz-
Yards Bay, and from Knute Nelson's
farm south to the Olympic's club home
in New Orleans. Black ominous look
ing clouds, charged with campaign elec-
tricity, hover over the abodes of the
Honorable Victoria Woodruff, Benja-
min Cleveland, Grover Harrison, Igna-
titus Lawler, Dan DOnnelly, and others
too numerous to mention, which will
burst forth in storm of snowy ballots
in November, and somebody is going to
get inglOriously showed under. Of
course others will be more fortunate,
and the wreath OF victory will encircle
the heated brow of some of the aSpirantS
who are after glory and their country's
welfare, and their cOuntry's- dollars. /
think it is the duty of every gentleman
to give the ladies the preference, and
for that reason "Vic" should undOubt-
edly be elected President. | am not in
position to give her my support in
this campaign, but she has my Sympa-
thy, which unfortunately will not in
crease her count of ballots. but may be
of some use after the ballots are count
ed. With Mrs. Victoria Latin Wood
hull as president, the intricate ques-
tions now puzzling the heads of our
most eminent statesmen would become
school-boy problems. "Tariff Reform
"ProtectiOn, Behring Sea seal fisher
ies," and all other national and inter
national questions, would be solved
with a quiet indifference that would
surprise a Solomon. That the ladies of
this republic should find employment
in public office should be the wish of
every man. Then may we hope to see
the cooking school abolished with all
it's attendant evils, and the old fash
iOned soda biscuit appear again in all
it's homemade glory; and then may we
hope to see the exodus of the female
baseball club composed of giddy maid
ems of doubtful age, attired in abbrevi-
ated bathing suits, and shrieking with
fright at the near approach of the leath-
er covered sphere. Vote for Vic!

in answer, but, before 1 do so, l should
like to find out how far the above an
swers have covered already the ground.
The first answer reminds me of the
story of gentleman who intended to
make trip abroad. He advertised in
the papers for a companion. The same
night, at 2 A. NJ, a sharp ring at the
door bell reused him from his sleep.
He dressed quickly, opened the door,
and in came a man with the query
"Are you the man who is looking for a
companion eyes, Sir" was the an
swer. II came to tell you that 1 can
not accompany you; it is absolutely i'm
possible for me to leave town." And

If such an answer to an ADVERTISE

for why not apply the same name to
every answer that results in II don't

to find out how many of us "dOn't

those who do know something about it.

HOW TO KEEP A MAN IN LINE.

Writing Land doing pendnce,
In. maybe. q mOnlfish robe,
To A1ut POlly's fair cOmpldindnts,
In the st. Paul Daily Globe.
Well you know you lovely creatures,
That power you embrace!
Is magnet in your features.
Polished by your winSOme grace:
Men are chastened and draw nigh you.
When your virtues you let shine;
Nothing limits; all apply to
How to keep man in line.
BY the labor of skilled fingers.
BY the daintieS of the board;
BY the soothing air that lingerS-
You must know you are adOred!
By motion of the eyelid.
By those sympathetic rays:
By Gods hand you are provided
With thousand other ways.
Through all ages of a nation.
Men did wait your beck and call;
And to hold your admiration.
They would let an empire fall.
At your doubt men are pathetic.
And the MANNED do Incline
Though one limb and paralytic.
They would hObble into line.
Any man is evil doing.
If he baSk not at your shrine
After sacred friendship wOOing:
He could be no friend of mine.
You, it is who make men human,
When they hover round your throne;
Pure affection of a woman,
Is a kingdom of its own.
Natures fine arts, we beseech you.
Do not fear yours charms decline!
Will you trust us? We will teach you
How to keep man in line.

Travellers in Washington and British
Columbia frequently toll Of seeing trees
dripping with moisture whom neither
rain nor dew were present. The strange
sight Is said 10 be due to tho remark

proaches the dew point, collect tho
moisture from tho air until the drops
fail to tho ground, giving tho tree the
