The fruit of experience is rip
ened by study, plucked by obser-
walton and made valuable by
application. All human endeavor
is valueless unless the lessons
taught are taken to heart and ac-
cepted as guides to action. The
light of ife's pathway is reflected
from the past. Its beams disclose
the snares, pitfalls and hidden
dangers that everywhere lurk and
lure with siren temptings the I'M
wary to failure and ruin. Knowl-
edge is the full fruition of expert
ence, and as it is used SO is
experience valuable. Today is the
teacher Of tomorrow, and to neglect
it's lessons is to live without pur-
pose and without hope of a future.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1896-11-12

MANY of our exchanges, notably
Peck's Sun, Los Angeles Por-
cupine and New Orleans Mascot,
have been saying some very pretty
things about us lately, but our ex-
IRENE modesty prevents us repro
ducing them. Modesty has always
been our great drawback in life,
and we have grave fears for our
future if it persists in clinging to
us so affectionately.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1896-11-12

It is said that the expense of
making the Companion Art Calen-
dar for 1897 was so great that had
it been published in the usual
quantity it could not be sold for
less than one dollar. Four beauti-
fnl female figures are reproduced
on four folding pages. Each figure
is Autographed in twelve colors,
being true reproduction of the
original water-color painting, which
was selected because of it's excel
lence of design and charm of color
and tone. The size of each of the
four folding pages is lO9 by 6
inches.
It is by far the best piece of
color. work the Companion has ever
offered. Both as calendar and as
a gem of the photographers art, it
is so attractive that it becomes a
valuable addition to the mantel or
centre table of any room. 1t is
given free to all new subscribers
sending $1.75 to the Companion
for the year 1897, who receive also
the paper free from the time the
subscription is received till Janu-
airy l, 1897.
Celebrating in 1897 it's seventy
first birthday, the Companion Of
fers it's readers many exceptionally
brilliant features. Fully two hun
dred of the most famous men and
women of both continents have
contributed to the next years vol
ume of the paper. For free Illus

THE SNIUTTY STORY-TELLER.


more ignorant conceit then sense,
go through life fixed in the belief
that ability to relate a smutty story
is evidence of worldly experience.
Having no conception of decency
or the requirements Of social dis
cussion, they value company only
as a means for displaying their
innate vulgarity and disregard for
propriety. They are found in all
grades Of society, masked often
times, but ever ready to show their
true cOlors when occasion seems
opportune. They chill CONVERSE
ton with suggestive ribaldry and
references to the low and base, dis
gust by their cynicism and repel
by their offensiveness. OF fiabby
morality and without discretion or
regard for the feelings Of others,
they hold nothing sacred OF worthy
of respect, but traduce the chaste.
the pure and the ideals of affection,
of love and of reverence with the
insinuating vileness of the liber-
tine. Virtue with this class is but
a flower of romance to be poisoned
by the foul breath of scandal:
strangers to it themselves they can
not conceive of it in others.
Not only is the smutty story
teller an object of contempt, even
among those occupying the same
moral plane, but his presence, if
his moral turpitude be known, is a
matter to be specially avoided. His
company has no charm, no fellow
ship, no desirability. He degrades
his manhood and forfeits respect
and good opinion by coarse habits
Of speech, which betray an utter
lack of the qualities that render
men companionable, agreeable and
interesting, and as there can be no
sociability without instructive con-
versation, he has no place where
intelligence is valued or respecta-
bility regarded.
It is a rare gift to be able to tell
story with that charm of tone
and manner that make it both en-
tertaining and instructive. The
story-teller is welcomed everywhere,
and courted by all who can enjoy
good company and good conversa-
tional powers. But without re-
fined language, expressing eleva-
ting thoughts, the faculty has no
value to it's possessor or others.
Instead Of being a blessing that
will advance his way to culture and
respect, it ostracizes him to the
vulgar. Language infallibly in
dexes character, and as it is uttered
SO will Judgment be pronounced.
To listen to the smutty story
teller is to approve of his vulgar
ity and sink to his moral level.
He should not only be frowned
upon, but banished from company
as a moral leper whose presence is
communicating and whose influence
is destroying.

ST. PAUL's Rescue Mission So

INDIVIDUALITY is the mirror that
reflects the sum of our character
istics. 1t throws the search-light
of truth on character revealing it's
strength or weakness, it's purity or
vileness, and it's dignity or mean
ness. In strength Of mind, man
ner of bearing, facial expression
and intellectual and physical action
the individual reflects his true
self. Deception may for a while
veil shortcomings, but individuality
penetrates the thin covering and
laws bare the core of character, be
it good or bad.
