indianapolis Journal
The members of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union have drafted
a set of resolutions which appear in
another place we'll calculated to place
our little city before the world in a
bad and erroneous light In making
charges OF this kind it is very essen
tial that they be we'll grounded and
sustained by facts. Under such cir
cumstances the resolutions referred to
would be all right and proper, and
the VIDErTE would be as quick to de-
nounce such action as the w. c. T. u,
or anybody else. But being fallacious
and misleading as they are. it is but
natural that the good citizens and Of
ficers of our town should feel right
eously indignant over the matter. With
all due respect to the organization
which drafted these resolutions, we
have thoroughly investigated the
charges and satisfied ourself that they
are totally without foundation in fact.
No child has ever been seen drunk or
the street and it is an exceedingly rare
thing that even man is seen under
the influence OF liquor. 1t is true thai

One would think from the bitter and
vicious blow they direct at the tan

Taking it all in all the resolutions

II it can be satisfactorily shown that
any one of the charges preferred are
true no one will be more willing to con-

sonal observation and by consultation
with the city officials and leading citi-
zens we are sustained in the assertion
that the resolutions are uncalled for
and altogether out of place. We re-
greet that the signature OF the presi-
dent and secretary did not appear on
the article, as we might from them
obtain some Information relative to
the matter. We do not believe that
any occasion will ever arise in the
history of the town deserving such a
word flashing as it has received at the
hands of the w. c. L. u.

Faith i'm Il Hair.

There is one ofliCe-seeker who be-
lleVes that mans character can be
told from the color of his hair. saws
the washington correspondent of
the Boston Record.
This man wanted to be postmaster
of town in the West, so he came
to Washington and was a dailv yisi-
tor at Private Secretary Thurber,s
room in the White House.
He was very countrified in appear
ance and possessed a wonderful
growth of the reddest hair.
MIR. Thurber received him upon
all OF his visits with his usual
courtesy, but explained to the per-
slstent gentlemen that he should file
all OF his endorsements at once in
stead of bringing them in one by
one, as he received them each day.
This advice the man did not heed.
FINALLY, Mr.. Thurber's patience
commenced to give out, and one day,
when the man presented himself and
handed over two or three additional
endorsements, the private secretary
told him it would not be necessary
for him to call again-that the case
would be considered upon the papers
already submitted.
The would-be postmaster started
to leave the room.
AS he reached the door, however.
he turned about and, notwithstand-
ing the fact that Mr.. Thurber had
engaged in conversation with
Senator, he said:
Mr.. Thurber, don't you think
there is something more / can do so
as TO make that matter Of mine q
dead sure cinch.
Mr.. Thurber Interrupted his con-
ference just long enough to say:
"Oh, yes, yes, yes, with an impa.
tient gesture. "Send me lock of
your hair"
The man disappeared, murmuring
his thanks.
The next day sure enough, the
White House mail contained an
envelope from the candidate in
which was enclosed generous por-
ton of his very red hair and q note
stating that the writer had heard
that it was possible to tell mans
character from lock of his hair
that he enclosed some of his own as
suggested by the private secretary,
aud that he felt reasonably certain
that he would be given the Office he
coveted if his hair was properly ex-
amined.
Whether this episode settled his
chances or not, it is for Mr.. Thur
ber to tell, for it must be said that
the red-headed man did not get the
postmastership.

In sending tho following to the
| Baltimore ErCning Ne,cS, a CORES
pondent writes: "Tho enclosed is
copy Of clipping to Southern
paper that was given me by nv
lather short tine after the war. l
send you copy that have just had
made to frame and hang in my bows
room. 1t is good enough to publish
for the benefit of those who have
been so unfortunate as to have never
seen it :"
You must study to be frank
with the world: frankncss is the
chlld OF bravery and courage. Say
What you mean to do on every ocCa-
sion. If friend asks a favor, YOU
should grant it, if it be reasonable ::
II not tell him plainly why you can
not. You will wrong him and wrong
yourself by rquivocation ofany kind.
Never do n wrong thing to make a
friend or to keep one the man who
requires you to do so is dearly pur-
chased at q sacrifice. Deal kindly
but firmly with your classmates ;
you will find it the policy which
wears best. Above all, do not ap-
pear to others what you are not.
If you have any fault to find with
anyone, tell him, not others, of what
you complain. There is no more
dangerous experiment than that Of
undertaking to be one thing before
mans face and anorher behind his
back. We should live, act and saw
nothing to the injury of anyone. 1t
IS not only best as matter Of prin-
clple, but is the path to peace and
honor.
In regard to duty, let me, in con-
clusion of this hasty letter, inform
you that nearly hundred years ago
there was day of remarkable gloom
and darkness, still known as "the
dark day." day when the light of
the sun was slowly eXtinguished, as
II by an eclipse. The Legislature of
Connecticut was in session, and its
members saw the unexpected and
the unaccountable darkness coming
on; they shared in the general awe
and terror. 1t was supposed by many
that the last day--the Day Of Judg-
ment-had come.
Some one, in the CONSERVATION of
tne nour moved an adjournment.
Then there arose an old Puritan leg
islator, Davenport, OF Stamford, and
he said that, if the last day had
come, he desired to be found at his
place doing his duty, and, there
fore, he moved that candles he
brought in, so that the House could
proceed. There was a quietness in
that mans mind, the quietness of
heavenly wisdom and infiexible will
lngness to obey present duty. Duty,
then is the Sublimest word in our
language. DO your duty in all things
like the old Puritan; you cannot do
more; you should never wish to do
less.
Never let me or your mother wear
one gray hair for lack of duty on
your part.
Your atfectionate father,

Words Of Wisdom.

Poetry is the language of poverty.
Money Is often concealed weapon.
Cupid does not know dollar from
doughnut.
a loud laugh in woman is like a
noise in a picture.
Confidence, in conversation, has a
greater share than wit.
When properly used one Opportu-
nifty will last lifetime.
No man feels entirely at ease in a
millinery establishment.
The old man who feels young can't
afford to act as he feels.
Women hate with their hearts and
deSpise with their heads.
You can do more for yourself than
anyone else can do for you.
Tact is sometimes an acquired
habit, but never in its highest form
An error established in mans
mind is equal TO fact to him.
Sometimes more is said by saying
nothing than by talking a week.
Error never made rope strong
enough to strangle truth forever.
Loving art for arts sake is not
greatly unlike loving pie for pies
sake.
Some lucky people always have a
fool at hand to take their risks for
them.
You never know how fond you
are Of a boy until you become en-
gagged to his sister.
a girl can make herself love q
man she hates just as she can acquire
a taste for olives.
Conceive not so high an opinion of
anyone as to be bashful and impO-
tent in his presence.
There was time in every mans
life when he was faithful in his at
tachment to one woman.
Never tell secret to bride or a
bridegroom. Wait until they have
been married longer.

Salt rs n Curative.

An excessive use of salt on food
is Injurious TO the digestive and
other organs of the body, causing
acurVy and other scorbutic diseases.
But 1t has some curative properties
which should be known. For the
reason that it is cheap and always at
hand, the curative qualities of salt
are not appreciated as they should
be. We gather from an exchange
that if used persistently enough it
will cure nasal catarrh. A weak
brine should be made and snuffed ND
the nose, allowing it to run down the
the throat.
One of the most effective remedies
known for sick headache is to place
a pinch of salt on the tongue and
allow it to dissolve slowly. In about
ten minutes it may be followed by a
drink of water.
There is nothing better for the re-
lief of tired or weak eyes than to
bathe them with strong solution of
salt and water, applied as hot as it
can be borne. Salt is most excellent
for cleansing the teeth. 1t hardens
the gums and sweetens the breath.
Salt enters into the composition Of
sure cure for a felOn. Take com
mon rock-salt and dry it thoroughly
In an oven, pulverize it, and mix
with an equal quantity of spirits of
turpentine. Keep a rag saturated
with this solution applied to the at
fected part for twenty-four hours and
at the end of that time the chances
are ten to one that the felon will
have disappeared.

IN every occupation much must
be forgotten that the valuable parts
may be remembered. The inventor
must ever keep before his mind the
hitherto unattained object he hopes
to effect, the artist must embody his
idea in his picture, the physician
must go to the seat of the disease,
the lawyer must preserve in mind
the strong points of his argument.

their minds and memories as to hide
these important ends, their work is
doomed to inferiority. Good work
