Serving the People.

In 1851 the town of Quincy, in Massa-
chusetts, wanted surveyor of highways
who had brains. The most prominent
citizen of the little town at that time
probably was John Adams, who was
graduate of Harvard college and sue
cessful lawyer, and who had high ambl-
tions, which were subsequently realized,
as all the world knows.
The citizens of the town of Quincy re-
garded Adams, who was then about 20
years old, as a very capable fellow, and
without asking his leave chose him to
look after their highways.
This service was not of the sort which
the ambitious scholar and able lawyer
was looking for. He knew that faith
full performance of the duties would IN.
terfere with his work as lawyer, but
Adams was man of high public spirit,
and if his fellow citizens wanted him to
survey their roads it was his duty to
do it. He accepted the Office, therefore.
and performed its duties.
The spirit which he exhibited has been
shown by many other famous Ameri
cans, especially IN the early days of ou1
republic. At the present time the dis
like of Office seeking is SO great that Office
holding is looked upon by many people
as thing to be reprobated, and abl'
men often scornfully decline to hold a1
unimportant Office.
Every persons patriotism should be
gin with the town or city that he live
in, and every citizen should regard hi
services as rightfully to be commanded
for reasonable time, by the communit.
among whom he dwells.-Youth's Com
uanion.

Universal Suffrage.

1t seems to me that universal suffrage
is the greatest uplifting and educating
force ever set at work among the masses
of men, 1t certainly gives form to many
of the problems of modern society, but
have yet to learn of any period in the
worlds history when the times were not
full of problems. In the meantime, uni
versal suffrage puts into the body poll
tic the element that feels as well as the
element that thinks. A man who is all
intellect is not always wise in action,
and our American communities, as l
have observed, not infrequently make
decisions contrary to the Judgment OF
the few, which ultimately are justified
by the outcome. Low III Dona-

Difference Between Sportsman and

relating some experience of 4 hunting

The difference? Why, great Scott
man, there Is as much distinction be
tween a sportsman, n sporting mau
and sport as there Is between doc.

speaker glared at the Others but the
first man still looked blank.
pray define It, them" he said, after
Il pause,
ITO be sure. Its something that
everybody ought 60 know, but, unfart-
unately, lots of folks never take the
trouble to learn those things. A sports,
man Is n man who loves sport In Its
truest sense, At least SO consider 1t.
He is a man who cujoys hunting, fish
ing, camping out, and Is commonly
fond of other athletic amusements In
the way of boating, swimming, riding
and the like. He Is, pardon my opin.
ion, apt to he n man of gentlemanly
instincts and brains.
"A sporting man Is an entirely diff
ferent sort OF fellow. He Is one who
takes interest In sports OF different
sorts, although he may not engage In
any of them at all. He probably
plays the races, drinks hard, takes In
all the prize fights and spends most OF
his evenings when there Is nothing else
on hand playing cards and whooping
things up But sport Is on a still
lower scale. He Is u fellow who thinks
he's big potatoes, when he's really
nothing but n runt. He need not know
anything about sports or engage In
them either, His reputation will bc
chiefly by his loud dress, his firtatlons
with the girls, his hanging around sa~
looms and his general worthlessness,
No, sir: there are good many per-
sons who are proud to he called sport
ingmen or sports, but to call Il true
sportsman by such term Ii little
short of an Insult, Ia, ta,"
