The Duty of Society.

so surely as you trangress our laws,

complex organism, Society. 1t is with
evident pride, and not without some
pOmposity, that it calls all men to wit
ness that it farthers the principle ex-
pressed by that declaration. Is it just :?
Is it in accord with our much bOasted
christian advancements? Is it consist
ent with society's other declaration,
that it is not always its desire to punish
but to reclaim, to reform it's trans
gressOrs, desire that is commendable
that is, at least, in touch with the ad-
vanced civilization Of the period? So
ciety in its treatment of it's transgress-
ors apparently forgets that it is en-
doWed with the power to forgive as
we'll as to punish. If it has not forgot
ten it evidently believes that it is one

A harsh master makes an unwilling
servant.
Kindness. like pleasant weather,
needs no apology.
It's a mighty foolish goose that lays
eggs for the man who puts yoke on its
neck.
No man has right to expect cheerful
obedience from another until he has
first fulfilled all obligations to that
other.
Prisoner: Your Honor, object to
the verdict as rendered. and ask that it
be set aside.
Judge: On what grounds?
Prisoner: Because it is perjury.
Judge: The opinion of this court is
that your point is too pun-y. Fifteen
years.
Let your confidence meet the man
halfway who is endeavOring to be wOr
thy of it.
The most successful dieiplinarian is
he who diciplines his dicipline.
Dicipline isn't all that's necessary to
make men manly. Like medicine it
should not be administered on general
principle.
'Tis said man can never get away
from his thoughts, The best thing to
do, then, is to make ones thoughts as
comfortable as possible in order that
they may be contented and cheerful
companions of his journey through life.

A Good Idea.

There probably is not one of us, who
mas not at some time in his life heard
either good story or good speech.
and at the same time envied the person
who made it.
How often have we said to ourselves:
That was d good story and we'll told.
300: | wish | could tell a good story,
and tell it as we'll as he does, but, some
now. | never seem to remember any
TuSt when | want to-
My friend, there is the point exactly
This is the place, and now is the time
TO put your spare moments to practical
use.
Instead Of idle repinings and brood
mgs, and hateful, evil thoughts, turn
your idle moments to some account.
Find a good story, and then commit it
TO memory The first chance you get
tell it to someone for practice. If you
cannot tell it to anyone, repeat it over
To yourself. over and over again, until
you are fairly sick of the thought of it:
then y0u will have it at your tongues
tmd, and when you wish to recall it you
will find it right on the brink of your
memory DO this over and over again.
Perfect yourself in this particular;
and when you are again in the world
among your fellow men. you will be
surprised to find what a popular hail
fellow well-met you will be, and what
good reputation you will enjoy as
pleasant companion. For we are here
in this world to be of some practical
benefit to our fellow men. Society de-
mands certain duties of us. no matter
what our station.
We cannot receive all and give moth
lng in return. The more we contribute
TO the happiness and well-being of our
neighbOr. just so much more are we
respected and looked up to; and just so
much more will we receive in return.
And after all what little thing to do
and how great the return. A good joke,
OF good story well told, is the e'atree
10 most circles, and the racOnteat1 finds a
cOzy seat by most tiresides.

The Mistake of the Strikers.

Are we any nearer reconciliation
between capital and labor than we were
a decade ago? So far from it there is
apparently greater antagOnism than
there ever was, or rather, l should say,
there is greater display of antagonism.
Why is it SO? Certainly men are improv-
ing in intelligence. Is it because the
problem is unsolvable? This do not be-
lieve. There are several reasons why
the progress has been so slow. The
first and greatest is the action of the
wOrkmen themselves in resOrting tOviO-
lence and annoyance i'll order to gain
their ends. By wOrkmen | mean all
those who contribute to material prod
'uctS by the labor of their hands alone,
whether they be called laborers, wage
earnerS or operators. These form large
class in themselves, though they are
minority, and small minority of the
whole population. Their great mistake
has been, as have said, in resOrting to
violence. Rare must be the occasions,
in any civilized country when violent
methods can serve a useful purpose in
the redress of wrongs. But here where
manhood suffrage prevails, everything
can be obtained by law, so far as it is
within the domain Of law SO large
a body of voters as the wage-earners
will be sure to obtain by suffrage all
that suffrage can force from the coun-
try. Violence is therefore unnecessary.
1t is moreover impolitic, because, in
stead of compelling the majority to &C
cede to their claims, it alienates this
majority. Dacid Dudley Field, IN
North american ReDie1C
