Keep ThYself Pure.

Satan tempts the young man with
this plausible yet meretricious argyll
ment: "The desires of the flesh are
natural and Godgiven. 1t cannot be
wrong to crafty an instinct or appe-
tite implanted by the Creator" Having
lodged this thought in the untutored
mind, the devil infiames the magma
ton with false pictures of pleasures
and CLOSES sin over with the glitter
ing expectations, until a pure youth,
from a pure home, is willing to ven
ture on unknown and forbidden paths,
and then all too late, says Rev. D. NJ.
Pratt, ,awakes to the awful fact that
the slime of the pit has entered his
soul; that he is no longer innocent, and
can never escape from the conscious
ness of the fact that he is a moral blot
on the pure life about him. Is a con-
Eliminating influence in the refined
home of his childhood, Is moral leper
everywhere, and holds under cover a
secret which he dare not expose.

Keeping. with the Gang.

Just keeping with the gang and its
results is well exemplified in the fol-
lowing story from the Western Re-
corder:
1.-THE first glass of beer / ever drank
was like taking a dose of medicine,
said young man who bore the nose
and flesh-marks of a regular old TOPPER
But it is no dose now" continued he,
with chuckle.
MAY l ask" said 1, "since beer was
so distasteful to you at first, why did
you persist in cultivating taste for
it?"
ooh, just to keep with the gang"
was the laconic reply.
Just to keep with the gang" that
was all. And yet, says w. M. Gill
man, in Western Recorder, what a ter
rible penalty!-a physical wreck, a
moral leper, manhood Slapped, fond
hopes blasted, mothers heart bleed
ing, friends disappointed, despair and
death, eternal death, approaching. But
that is just the way most drunkards
are made. Eliminate the saloons OF
their social features, and you have
crippled them of boys. Few men,
fancy, ever took their first drink OF
liquor when alone. Without congenial
and sympathizing companions, there is
little fascination in the cup for the be-
ginner.

Keynard Got the Best of 1t.

A queer fox hunt is reported from
Barren county, Kentucky. A farmer
going one morning to open the door OF
his poultryhouse found that the place
had been raided by fox that was still
inside. Reynard appeared to have
worked up the sliding door until he
effected an entrance, when it dropped
and made him prisoner. The farmer
and his son concooted plan for his
capture. Turning dog inside the
poultry house, they held bag firmly
over the opening, and on the slide
being lifted there was swift rush into
the bag, the mouth of which was
quickly closed and held tightly. I'm
agine their surprise, however, to see
the fox slip out Of the shed imme-
