UNCLE IKE oa THE PEACE JUBILEE

fBy Geo. MICA Miller)
Yes, noticed in your sermon the endins of

That you think that jubiiatin' is the proper caper

When our naughty Turin rulers lay Belshazzar in

Zeal to make sale for the store

barassing position. A farmer came
into the store to buy pair of stock

the stockings in bis hand, but the lady
clerk had disappeared.
The editor Of Kansas paper, says
an exchange, stated that he picked up
a Winchester rife one day recently
and started down the street to deliver
it to its owner. His delinquent SUBJ
scribers. however, got it into their
heads that he was on the war path,
and everyone he met insisted On pay
ing what they owed him. One man
wiped out debt of ten years standing.
On his return to the office he found a
load of hay, fifteen bushels of potatoes,
load of wood and a barrel of turnips
that had been brought in by delin-
quents.

D. Essmiller $500. Our judgment Is
that when the irrigation ditch is com
pleted and in good working order. and
these men want to use the water for
irrigation purposes, the damage will
not be considered as great.

sinnle fact IS that those I'm Richmond
who arc working for the anti-tramp or
dInance arc those who arc conducting
tho organized charities OF Richmond and
attending to the wants of the poor. Their
object Is to got rid OF the professional
,rsmps who come hithor from elsewhere
and take food and clothing and money
that otherwise would go to our own de-
serving poor. and so this ani-tramp or
dinance Is. instead of being merciloss, in
fec, in the interest OF those who need
help.

COURAGE IS Duty.

There has been a great deal OF silly talk
against certain men throughout the
country who have refused TO enlist. These
criticisms have been particularly severe
OF officers Of military companies VINO
resuigned their commission as soon as
war was declared.
All such talk IS greatly to be deprs-
Gated. il the country were in great
etraits for men and needed in its army
oyerv able-bodied man 10 defend It's
flag against the foe, then it would be
the duty OF every ablo-boded mai TO en-
list.
But there is no such need. Indeed. the
volunteers have greatly exceed tho de-
mand. and it has been with IT,, Govern
secure soldiers. but how 10 provide places
for the great number OF those who would
enlist.
This IL n matter which every man
must determine for himself. and IT IS
FOR each individual TO say where his
dutv lies. II is the duty Of some men
10 go to war. It is the duty Of other
men TO stay az home, TO provide TOT 'heH
families and to help carry on the bust
ness affairs or the country. in some
cases it requires great deal more cour-
age to resign a commission than to hold
ON 10 IL. The man who has "a family de-
pendeut on him FOR support is In duty
hound TO stay at nome. and it would be
cowardly in him 10 give up his business
or nosition and go TO the war, leaving
his family 10 shift for themselves sim
ply because ne Is afraid that If he should
resign he would be criticised by men,
There is but one right course to pursue
and that IS very plain. Every man should
have an honest reckoning with himself
determine where his duty lies. and then
honestly and courageously discharge his
duty as he sees it. let the world say
what it may.
