: AMONG the important and novel
rulings made by federal judges during
the recent struggle between the rail-
roads and their employees is one by
Judge Hallett of Denver in regard to
the relation of employees to a railroad
that is in the hands of a receiver for
the court. He directed Receiver
Trumbull of the Gulf road to issue an
order dire citing all employees who did
not wish to obey orders fully to notify
MIN at once. They were then re-
leased from further obligation, but if
they did not and afterwards refused to
obey any orders Of their superior Of
icers they would be in contempt of
court. Marshal Israel issued an order
presumably upon the advice of Judge
Hallett that any one seeking to infu-
ence an employe to desert his post of
duty should be arrested for contempt.

First
Ring up, ring up the curtain but mark the awful
sight,
Wars black and fateful shadows have turned the
day to night
In every vale and hollow are piled the heaps of
slain,
And all the earth shows CHASTITY meath the battles
bloody stain.
The red sward forms the soldiers bier the cannon
smoke his pail;
But shut the awful picture out-oh let the curtain
fall
Second.
Again the curtain rises. with the warning hosts at
rest,
For Night has drawn her shadows from her store
house In the west,
While Peace broods calmly Ger the scene until
another day,
And man. beneath her magic spell. forgets a while
to slay.
The sentres pace with measured tread and faithful
vigil keep;
Their watchfui eyes are never closed, but Death
has gone to sleep.
Whole.
gray old man lies dying; fair, weeping Love ap-
pears,
While wan-eyed Sorrows heavy lids are wet with
But bark what fateful sound is that that tells the
moments flight.
That presage of approaching Death, of darkness
and-of light?
The end draws near, the sands run out it marks
them grain by grain,
And ticks the seconds slowly Off that end NOR
tails pain
The weird sound dies. but look ah. look the cur
tain slowly falls,
But Death has made invasion of the mansions
stately halls!

II one do not keep to his business-if one
feel he must set everybody right-he will get
into trouble. 1t is wise to mind quite ex-
clusvely ones own affairs, and in this busy
world one can generally lay out program of
personal business which will utilize all his
time.
6. Verse gives a wel-drawn contrast. If
you be sluggard, you will also become n beggar.
If you wont work when it is slightly chilly,
you may starve when Winter comes If you
wont pillow you cannot eat. 1t will be much
easier to work-up warmth by honest toll of a
cool morning than to go around in the heat
asking the industrious for some food. The
idea of begging in harvest time is a strong
contrast. Compare 1924 A sluggard's rest
is Incidence. If a man, from fear of Pales.
tnian GOODNESS, will not work, it ought not
surprise him if the diligent be not warm in
their attentions to him. if he realize something
of what is meant by cold charity.
7. Wise mon are not usually loquacious. B.
They do not run over. They resemble deep
wells rather than babbling streams If you get
much out of them, you will be obliged to pump.
You can generally drGW out man of under
standing. What such men know is usually
worth some effort to get Men whose advice
is valuable do not go about offering it without
solicitation, but most such men are approach
able and, if their Judgment be sought in deli
cate turns of life or in important business,
enough communicable.
s. 1t is generally found that men who go
about telling what wonderful things they have
done have not a record of very material utiliz-
ing tendency. Such are the men who are
found wanting when a really tangible occasion
presents itself. Y. g. Egotism and altru ism
do not go together in human makeup. The
goodness " of some men is so little that only
by bombast can it be enough materialized to
become known. Egotists and braggarts turn
up at any corner, but when you want "a faith
full man "a man who does not attach bell to
every good act he dOes-you must look for
him" who can fnd?" The word "most" in
V. 6 has ring of pessimism, and yet is it not
too near the TRUTH
8. Two important qualities are justice and
integrity. V. 7. They are honorable quail
ties, and reflect great respect on descendants
Then, such qualities generally lead to business
success. Thus children are blessed, while par
ents are yet alive, by having such advantages
in education, etc, well-to-do parents can
furnish. Further. when such die they can
leave their families in tolerably good circnm-
stances. 1t is of great advantage to children
If their parents have lived honorable lives and
been able to make their homes comfortable
Every father should prize in advance the good
posthumous opinion his children shall have of
him.
