A Word to csntlns Critic. Of Hard Work.

Word to Csnting Critics of Hard Work.
 There is great deal of advice given by writers and preachers to contempo- rary professional and business men which Is of the nature of cant; some- thing. that Is, which its authors talk from tradition that it ought to he szid. bnt which they. as we'll as the sd- vised. show by their disregard of it in actual life that they do not really be- lieve. CT think ought to be believed. We are told that We ought not to work so hard: ought not to put such a strain upon ourselves; ought to make our ideals simpler and easier of attainment; ought not to want a much; ought. cs The British Medical Journal once said. to take little more care not to kill ourselves for the sake of iving.n
 There are silly extremes of oyerwork. and tragic ones, like s mania, which no one womb seek to justify. They are generally to be condemned on other grounds than that they risk life. But. as a rule. the multitude of men in pro. fessional ard business pursuits, whose intensity of work excitcs these homilies. are working, according to their lights, for ends for which the unsparing use of their lives is justiiable and even praise worthy; ar, in the rarer cases in which they are doing it because they cannot help themselves, are aiding civilizs- tion which, in spite of our moments of 6espondency and rebellion, we all know is higher and better with all the ameni- ties aud refnements it accumulates - Scribner's.

e filled all the room with geniality and was reflected from the family pictures cn the wall Then the neighbors came in two by two They sat down, their faces to the fire, which ever and anon was stirred with tongs and readjusted on the andirons, and there were such times of rustic repartee and story tell ing and mirth as the black stove and the blind register never dreamed of. Meanwhile the table was being spread, and so fair was the cloth and so clean was the cutlery, they gisten and glis- ten in our mind today. And then the best luxury of orchard and farmyard was roasted and prepared for the table, to meet the appetites sharpened by the cold ride
 Oh, my friends, the church of Jesus Christ is the worlds fireplace, and the woods are from the cedars of Lebanon, and the fires are fires of love, and with the silver tongs of the altar we stir the flame, and the light is reflected from all the family pictures on the wall-pic- lures of those who were here and are gone now. Oh, ecme up close to the fireplace! Have your worn faces trans figured in the light. Put your cold feet, weary of the journey, close up to the blessed confiagration Chilled through with trouble and disappointment, come clcse up until you can get warm cleaI through.

Good morning. all. He gets on the beast and says, "Go along, you beast. but go slowly, fer those bandits sweeping through the land may have left somebody else wounded and half dead" Sympathy Christian sympathy! How many such men as that would it take to warm the cold worli up? Famine in Zarepthath Everything dried up. There is widow with son and no food except hand ful of meal She is gathering sticks to kindle fire to cook the handful of meal. Then she is going to wrap her arms around her boy and die. Here comes Elijah. His two black servants. the ravens, have got tired waiting on him. He asks that woman for food.
 Now, that handful of meal is to be di- vided into three parts. Before, it was to be divided into two parts Now, she says to Elijah, Come in and sit down at this solemn table and take third of the last moFsel" How many women like that would 1t take to warm the cold world up?

Q question of immediate and all encom- passing practicality. In this zone and weather there are so many freless hearths, SO many broken window panes, 50 many defective roofs that sift the snow. Coal and wood and fiannels and thick coat are better for warming up such 8 place than tracts and Bibles and creeds- Kindle that fire where it has gone out. Wrap something around those shivering limbs Shoe those bare feet. Hat that bare head Coat that bare back. Sleeve that bare arm. Lay all the pictures of Martha Washington repre- sent her in courtly dress as bowed to by foreign ambassadors, but Mrs. Kirk. land. in her interesting book, gives . more inspiring portrait of Martha Wash ipgtoD. She comes forth from her hus- tand's hut in the'encampment, the hut Is feet long by 14 feet wide-she comes forth from that hut to nurse the sick, to the soldiers dying of the cold That is better picture of Martha Washington. Hundreds of garments. hundreds of toms of coal, hundreds of glaziers at broken window sashes, hundreds of whole souled nsen and women, are necessary to warm the wintry weather. What are we doing to alleviate the condition of those not So fortunate as we? Know ye not, my friends, there are hundreds of thousands of people who cannot stand before his cold? It is useless to preach to bare feet, and to empty stomachs, and to gauut visages- Christ gave the world a lesson in common sense when, before preaching the gospel to the null titude in the wilderness. he gave them . good dinner.

SO, no man In any profession, trade

rather than by one who accepts this

convinced, there is but one course
left for me to save my friends in the

THE "CREDITOR GLASS;"

The free silver crusade is direct.
ed against all creditors. The free
silver papers ara full of denuncia-
tons against men who have money
owing them. And, strangely enough,
in the popular mind there is a mis-.
taken opinion that "Wall street" is
the head and front Of the creditor
class, through the banks all through
the country.
But the banks are only small
portion of the creditor cIass-and
they belong to the debtor class
quite as much. A bank receives
deposits, for which it is of course a
debtor. Every deposit is a debt
which the bank must pay. 1t loans
these deposits to individuals and is
creditor with regard to these Dor
rowers. Every bank is therefore
both debtor and creditor, and
quite as much in debt as it is cred.
itor.
The real creditor class of the
United States is made up OF the
persons:
All persons who work for wa.
ges, salary, or by the piece.
All members of building and
loan associations.
All depositors in savings, nation
al, state or private banks.
All holders of lite, fire, and accis
dent insurance policies.
All members of benevolent and
fraternal insurance orders,
ALI holders of industrial insur-
ance.
All widows, orphans, or wards
dependent wholly or partially M.
IN the income from investments.
All educational and charitable in

l0wments.

The Plcayune has the following
to say of the recent meeting of the
Southern Lumber Manufacturers
Association:
"At the Memphis meeting, over
which Capt. j. j. White, of Nc
Comb City, Miss, held the gavel
as president of the association,
strong resolutions were adopted
favoring duty on Canadian pine,
and copy of these resolutions will
be placed in the hands of every
congressman in the country, espec-
Tally in the south, urging an imme-
date agitation of this important
question. 1t means much to the
future ofyellow pine, and the in-
fuence which will be brought to
bear by the Southern Lumber Man.
ufacturers' Association will be
strong.
"Yellow Pine has suffered with
every other southern industry dur
ing the present year, so far as prof.
ltaole prices are concerned. Since
last April there has practically been
no fixed price list, and every manu-
facturer has sold his product at any
price he could get. At the Menu
phls meeting a new price list was
made and adopted, which, while It
may not be strictly adhered to, will
have the effect of making the state
associations get together again in
the near future and so reorganize
as to get prices back to a profitable
basis before the fall trade begins.
For this reason the Memphis meet
Ing decided to issue list, and the
moral effect will undoubtedly be
good for the general trade.

Immediately there was n buzz OF ex-
