Remember, son, that tho world
is Older than you arc by several
years; that for thousands of years
it has boon SO full of smarter, bot
ter and younger mon than your
self their feet stuck out tho doors
and windows, but when thcy died
tho old globe wont jogging along,
and not ono person in ten millions
wont to tho funeral or evon heard
Of his death. Be rs smart as you
can. of course. Know as much as
you can without blowing tho pack
ing out Of your cylinder heads.
Shed tho light Of your wisdom
abroad, but don't dazzle people
with it. And don't imagine a
thing is SO, simply because you say
it is so. Don't be too sorry for
your father bocanse ho knows so
much less than you do. Tho world
has great mood of young men, no
creator need than tho young men
have Of it. Your clothes fit you
better than your fathers fit him----
they cost more money; they are
moro stylish; your mustacho is
neater, the cut of your HAIR is bet
ter and you are prottior, oh, far
prottier than pa But stop a
moment, young man aud reflect.
Tho old man gets tho bigger salary
and his homoly, scramblin,, sigma
turo on the business end OF y cheek
will draw moro money out OF the
bank in fivo minutes than. per-
haps, your handsome autograph
can do during the balance Of your
mortal life. Young men aro useful
and they arc also ornamental, and
we all like thcm-but they arc
novelties, son,-no, nothing of tho
kind; thoy have been here before.
Don't bo so modest as to shut
yourself clear out, but don't be SO
fresh that you will have to be put
away in Il cooler to koep from
spelling. Don't bo afraid that
your morit will not be discovered
People all over tho world aro look
ing for you, and if you arc worth
finding they will iiud you.--Phila-
delphia Times.

1t is mistake to suppose that
women over marry for money !;
sometimes, however, they marry
for the want OF it.
In the matrimonial market it
doesn't mako much difference
about girls complexion if her
income is only fair.
A woman writer in enumerating
"what women like in man." failed
to mention money. 1t was a
strange oversight.

Tho bodily temperature Of

Psychologists say that the older

:
province a Visionary optimist and
5blindly ignores present conditions.
It is asking tho State to do work
which the pulpit and the moral
philosopher has not prepared the
people to accept. The recent con-
duct of municipal authorities and
prohibition leaders, when the Su-
prone court declare the State un-
der prohibition laws, is an illus
tration of the prohibition delus-
ion. The State must accept con-
ditions as thoy exist and make the
best. disposition of questions as
they arise. Then since prohibi-
ton is premature and impractica-
bic, who shall control tho liquor
business is the question, and this
is the real question in issue, all
others being merely side issues.
Experience has shown that NUM-
cipal authorities woro satisfied
with tho revenues and left the
business almost entirely to the
enterprise and conscience of the
saloon men. The saloon system
was obnoxious to tho masses of
tho people, and thoy abolished it.
Then what was to take it's place
and who was to control tho liquor
business. The people in the rural
districts boingin tho majority at tho
polls, woro tired Of municipal con-
troll and municipal absorption of
the liquor revenues, decided that
they would tnllo charge Of tho bus
moss and get somo benefits Of the
profits. Bong in tho majority,
they had tho right and they oxer-
cisod it, and that is tho secret of
all this howl against tho dispon-
sary system. 1t is not the lovo of
tho men who drank whiskoy mod
cratcly or excessively, that inspires

night. There were BET wecn two and

of whom were silver men, who went
to hear the General get around his
assertions of two years ago. Plenty
of "booze' had been in circulation
during the day and the crowd was
in good fix for anything that might
come up. While the Generals
speech WAS we'll received by some
members Of his own party and wild

denunciations of the Democratic pm.

While we were not in the hall, we
could hear the musical ~ shouts of
those that were. We would first
hear the rnpping OF what sounded
like the tapping of gnvel and then,
o, My, what yell would go up, but
towards the end of tho speech the
applause grew feeble and all the ef-
forts of tho man with the gavel were
un.uccessful to enthuso the crowd
and keep them up to tho point at
