LIES PERILOUS YEARS.
The Best of People may Commit the Sins
That Seem Most Heinous.

All ages have their peculiar tempta-
tions. Some sins find easiest access at
one period, others at another. a peril
that is common to all times is that OF
self confidence and carelessnesS. A
doe that was blind of one eye Kept close
watch for her life. She never fed in
the river while exposing her blind side
to the shore. Hunters marked that
fact, got boat, and took her unaWares.
Every soul has one or more weak
points. Plenty Of enemies are search
ing for advantage, discover it and are
planning assaults at that exposed posi-
ton.
In the story of Noah's drunkenness
and his sons behavior, which many OF
our churches study next week IN their
social worship, there are some humil-
iating examples. The patriarch had
been chosen as the best man of his gen.
Grafton to save the rest. He preached
one hundred and twenty years with
out any converts outside of his own
family. unless the beasts of the field be
accepted who seemed to be wiser than
the sons of men. And yet he fell.
The best of men sometimes do. Peter
was the bravest of the apostles, it ohm
be not mentioned. But even Peter
succumbed for an hour to the terrific
tide of hate that swept over the head
of the Nazarene, The stronger the
fight any man wages against the old
Adam within him, the more desperate
ly the devilish element fights for it's life
The best men have the hardest strug
giles, contrary to the general conviction
Their sins are the most CONSPICUOUS

YOU NEVER CAN TELL.

You think it easy your steps to retrace
Before the last pitfall is gained;
That a man can never stop short OF crushing
disgrace.
And still find his honor unstained
But sin is so mighty. and conscience so weak,
And under so tempting SPELL.
That though you may long, other pleasure TO
seek,
Your weakness you never can tell.
The ocean of evil you never can sound
Its depths you can never discern:
But under yOur feet there is treacherOus ground
If away from the good land you turn,
You see not the danger, you fear not the zoe.
You whisper the soul, "All is well,
And you think you know just how far you go;
But YOU never no never can tell.
You never can tell what moment you'll Slip
Into snares that are cruelty laid
BY those who are willing another should trip
Where they were SO fOuy betrayed.
A moments indulgence may lead you TO crimes
That merit a prisoner cell:
Then duench the hot fever of passion betlmes,
For its power you never can tell.
You never can tell what moment you'll near
The signal of death at your gate.
Whose touch will arrest your thOughtlesS career
And bring your repentance too late
Stand firm. then. today, the alurementS or SIN
With earnest persistence rebel,
And strive for prize that is worthy 10 VIII,
And whose glory you never can TELL

PUT YOURSELF IN HIS PLACE.
The Generous Self-denial of Once
Prominent Railroad Employee.

In the early eighties there was en-
ploved upon a certain railroad system,
a Young man who had those rare but
necessary qualities that are essential
in the general make up OF typical
train-man: he had been on the road
scarcely one year, when one of those
systematic clearings, ycleped the spot

with CONSERVATION and dread. Each
expected to receive the order OF dis

promptly accepted the promotion, as
suring the superintendent that he was
born expressly for this place; his mod

allied. that it was difficult at times to
distinguish the positive from the neg
atiye element. "Long" had several
heavy cars of miscellaneous merchan-
disc to distribute one trip and was

am sure it is impossible to over
estimate the chemistry of influence, the
strong power of persons over persons.
The closest vision of man is not
always the most helpful vision; nay
YOU are sure to find some blemish, some
flaw. some stain, some evil, and often,
quite Unexpectedly, in that very trait
that had attracted you to your friend;
he is not so true, not so pure, not SO
noble. And when you become sure
of that, your own growth into truth,
purity and nOblenesS, so far as his in

Dondered sincerely every time that any
thing has appeared in the corner. My
daily rounds have brought me in con-
tact with many of the kicked. Evidence
has not been wanting that your con-
tributors have been perilOusly near the
truth in much that they have written.
Indeed many of the evils kicked about
are open secrets. "'Iis true and pity
tits. it's true" | believe it is time for
our well disposed citizens to unite upon
some line Of action that will, at least,
evidence disapproval of the abuses to
which attention has been directed, if
not blot them out. l appreciate the
difficulties of union. The good are
ever disunited, the evil never. have
been deeply grieved at the evident in
difference of many of our good and re-
spectacle citizens. They will confess
confidentiallv and in a half hearted
way recognize the truth and it's OBJ
iective application in what the kickers
write and in bursts of indignation will
saw things are rank" but they are
negative quantities when it comes to
open expression of principles or even
secret use of influence. | believe they
are inundated by their own fears,
lack of confidence in themselves and
hoodooed by the slight Of hand perfor
mances of the manipulatOrs of policy.
I would love to see them freed and
united and acting in accordance with
their ozvn connection of right. l have
an abiding confidence in the Unborn
manhood of men, their ideas of right
and Justice and want to see that man.
hood unified and acting with power
along correct lines. | believe failure
has come to many attempts because of
forced methods. [ want to suggest
new departure. Men believe in your
selves and act in accordance with your
own convictions of right and wrong.
When Mr.. Smoothly comes around with
soft soap patronage lnslnuatlons and
accusations, tell him to 60 to: that you
are in partnership W it'll yourself this
year and engaged in manufacturing
thought for home consumption and
that you believe in mental Mckinney

you will be in the procession with good
men and marching under the banner OF
right and justice. The sense of right
is mighty and democratic and ii left to
develop and assert itself, untrammled
by foreign importations, will build up
a strong and healthy union.
OBSERVER.
EDITOR KICKER'S CORNER do not
understand some complaints (which
have lately been in the kickers corner.
What is it about the deputies which
the sheriff and clerk are allowed? If
the law does not intend for these Off
GERS to have deputies to be paid by the
county, why does the commissioners
pay them? If some one will explain
this in the kickers corner it will be a
good thing. There is not any sense in
making row about this deputy bust
ness unless there is something wrong
about it. l want to know how it is
and if the officers ought to hire their
deputies and pay them out of their own
pockets, am in for making them do it.
