The moment we are willing to bear G
burden for Christs sake the weight
is all taken out of it.
Whenever God is loved, the man who
loves Him is blessed, no matter
whether he feels that way or not.
1t is not necessary to have dagger
in the hand to show that there is muir
der in the heart.
Who knows but that God uses oul
needs to show angels the meaning OF
His grace.
The religion that costs nothing does
nothing.
The devil leads the man who is not
living for some good, object.
No man is any stronger than that In
which he trusts for his strength.
Nothing grows so fast as trouble that
is nursed
If the heart is wrong, how can the
life be right?
The more jealous we are of good
works. the more we are in danger 81
wrongly judging other people.
There can be no JOY to-day while we
are worrying abous tomorrow.
The right kind of goodness is always
good for something.
bushel of notions don't weigh hall
as much as one stubborn fact
The man who is true to his own high
est interests cannot be false to those
of anybody else.

AS gold is never put into circulation

gold OF character. The only question

"A great actor once said that all men
have vanity, but some conceal it more
successfully than others If vanity be
universal trait, we may take it as
that alloy which is necessary to our

If any money received from the sale
OF State school books has gone into the
general fund of the State Treasury in
stead of into the revolving fund of the
book system, then common honesty and
fair dealing demand that the Legisla-
ture shall at once reimburse the special
fund from which the State drew the
money. Not to do so is to give the
State school book system a deadly blow
and to play into the hands of the book
ring. The plan of the State text book
system is that every book produced
shall bring enough from its sale to pay
for the production of another book just
like it, This is what is called the re-
volving fund. If now, any money that
belongs in the revolving fund has been
at any time taken from it, even to add
new works to the series. it is simple
honesty TO replace it. To refuse to do
so is to make a wreck Of the school
book system. that rests upon consti-
tutional declaration, and is part and
parcel of the system of State govern
ment.

Lincoln and the Sentinel.

In an article in the Century" c. G.
Buel tells the following story of Presi-
dent Lincoln: There have been no SOL
diers as guardians under the shadow Of
the great Ionic columns since the war;
and even then, on one fierce winter
night, the boy in blue who was on
guard was not allowed to maintain pro-
fessional decorum. Mr.. Lincoln
emerged from the front door, his lauk
figure bent over as he drew tightly
about his shoulders the shawl which he
employed for such projections; for he
was on his way to the War Depart
| ment, at the west corner of the
grounds. where in times of battle he
was wont to get the midnight dis
patches from the field. AS the blast
struck him he thought of the numbness
of the pacing sentry, and turning to
him, said: Young man, you've got a
cold job tonight; step inside, and
stand guard there
:" My orders keep me out here the
soldier replied
Yes, said the President. in his
argumentative tone; but your duty
! can be performed Just as well inside as
out here, and you'll oblige me by going
in

soldier answered and resumed his beat.
Hold on there.' said Mr.. Lincoln,
as he turned back again; 1T occurs to
me that l am Commanders in Chief Of
the army, and I order you to go in

A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.

Scovel, the American correspondent
who was released the other day from a
Spanish prison in Cuba, all military
men consider very fortunate, because il
is conceded that he violated the rules
of war and stretched his privilege as
an American citizen beyond bounds. If
q war correspondent In the time Of our
rebellion had done what Scovel was
guilty Of he would have been taken out
and shot. Scovel went through the
Spanish lines repeatedly, according to
his own statements. When arrested
1le was sailing under pass made out
in the name of another person That.
under all the rules of war, was the
work of a spy, and we have so held in
this country. Secretary Sherman is
right in announcing as he has that il
Scovei repeats his work for new
Journalism the United States viii not
hold itself responsible for his safety
Clearly the Scovel case is a bad prece-
dent for us, in case we should engage
in war with a foreign power, and n for
eign correspondent should be caught

PASSAGE OF THE HIGHWAY BILLS

The passage of the four highway bills
by the Houses sends these important
measures to the Executive. The Blu
reau of Highways thus sees the APP
preach of the fruition of their two years
of labor and hope. 1t is unquestionable
that but for the diligence and thor
oughness of its work for two years,
and for the unwearying attention given
by the members of the bureau to the
bills and their patient labor in explain
ing them and fortifying them by Stats
tics, drawings, plans and examples of
legislation and practice in other States,
the measures would not have passed.
But they have run the legislative
gauntlet en- their plain merits. Moth
ing has attached to them extraneous
or in any way related to legislation for
eign to them. The Bureau Of Highways
has therefore the proud consciousness
of having accomplished a splendid work
and of having given to the State the
first measures in its history looking far
into the future along the lines of sys-
tenn, orderly method and upon the up
per levels Of engineering skill, the high
est, best human experience, and truest
economy, the direct opposite of the
wasteful, unsystematized and wholly
unsatisfactory order of road building
of the past.
We believe that California will now
take distinct step in advance not only
in the matter of improving rural condi-
fions, but in promoting her productive
and commercial interests, and in other
bettermerts, since we hold it to be a
truth that the civilization of a people
and their material condition is largely
to be judged by the means of commune
cation they employ. The roads of a
State indicate in large degree the pub
lie spirit and thrift of the people or
their want Of spirit, enterprise and eco
nomic habit.
The State, when these bills become
laws, will at least enter upon an ex-
pertinent that will be worth all it will
cost, even If notifications become nee
essary hereafter. It is probably not
possible to lay out vast systematized
network of lines of communication and
transportation, and foresee all things
related to it. 1t is exceedingly difficult
TO map out so great a scheme as these
bills contemplate, and at the first trial
IND that everything has been provided
for and against that should be. But in
this case there is reason to believe that
alb that human foresight can guard
against has been covered, and that the
new system will justify the hopes en-
Tertained for it. The news that is to 20
abroad of this action on the part Of the
State viii rebound infinitely to its
credit and inspire for California respect
and invite to it interests that have beer
withheld in the past, because Of ou
wasteful, uneconomic and Gripping IN
systematic road construction and ad-
mfnistration-

Cheap Railroading.

It is quite true, says the Engineer
ing and Mining Journal. that the
kingdom of Denmark does not possess
a very extended area, but the Govern
ment. by building railroads and buying
those built by private enterprise, has
now succeeded in giving to it's inhab-
itants a very cheap means of loconio-
ton, and at the same time owns a vat
liable asset for large amount OF It's
national debt. The freight rates are
already the lowest known. A bill in
troduced by the Government proposes
to abolish return tickets between all
stations. One will be able to travel the

WHY HE WAS REJECTED.

of the house, as she gaZed upon Clar-
ence 3. Divine, VINO was seated by ner
side. The silence. which had lasted
for some time, was finally broken by
the young man, who said;
Miss Pylgrum, tell me, it is not be-
cause L live in Chicago that you reject
me?"
Mo- replied the fair girl. mo, I
never considered your place Of resi-
dence."
1T cannot be you consider that my
income is not sufficient to support you
in the style you are accustomed to? I
have wealth. l assure you that my
father kills more hogs at his"
NO. MOI" cried the girl, her voice
choked With emotion and spruce gum.
| Had 1 loved you such a thing as mere
financial greatness would not have
been considered
| MY manners, perhaps, not being up
to the standard of this cultured city,
might have Influenced your decision?"
No she replied. Your manners,
though crude, were not considered"
MY education, possibly, being some
what neglected, you refuse to be my
wife, and thus drive me forth to wan
der heartbroken through the stockyards
of life?"
| Mr.. Ovine," answered the girl, and
| her manner was strangely calm, Il will
state that at last you have mentioned
| the cause which has caused me to re-
| fuse to accept you. Knowing that you
came from Chicago, I forgave you for
drinking out of the finger bowl this
evening at dinner. Your explanation
that you thought the bowl contained
lemonade was satisfactory to myself
but
But what?" broke in the youn man
"Oh, do not be cruel tell me to hope
that at some future day you--"
There is no hope, Mr.. Divine"
But would you shatter my future
for a fingerbowl would"
1T was not the fingerbowl, Mr..
DIVINE. 1 could forgive that, but you
have destroyed my faith in you. You
have cruelty disappointed me. I will
not deny but that I did entertain a
warm feeling for your friendship, if

What have l done?" cried the I'M
happy young man by her side Have
pity on me. Let's get a new pack and
start a fresh deal"
| With a convulsive movement the girl
gained control over her emotions, and
| ir tones Of ice said: Mr.. Divine, this
| is the end. You ask me what you have
done. I will tell you. Do you remem-
| Der at dinner this evening when a large
| dish was served and a portion placed
! before you that you remarked, What's
f, them?'"
Il do, but surely"
THAT question sealed your fate. Mr..

with her eyes flashing fire.
"Why?" came from the white lips of
the young man.
"Why?" repeated the fair girl Why?
Because I will never marry man who
