NO REST FOR THE WEARY.

The following paragraph in the
Christian Advocate Of last week
will awaken a sympathetic re-
spouse in many an editors heart:
THE vacation habit is growing on
the American people. Everybody
that can do so now tries to snatch
a few days for rest and recreation
The time thus spent is not lost. L
means in most cases increased vigs
or and better work for the rest OF
the year. The Americans live fas
ter than any other people, and are,
therefore, more in need of an &C
casional pause in their octivity.
But there is no rest for the tired
editor. Winter and summer, year
in and year out, he must stick Ia
his task. Even when he goes from
heme he must manage somehow t.
keep the printers going, The cry
for copy knows no break. Never
theless few editors die. and none
resign" We have sometimes ell
wed pastors as we heard about
their being given a vacation by
their church, which they spent on
the mountains or at the seashore
But for the editor there is no vaCa'
tion. Week in, week out, from
morn til night" he has got to keep
the bellows blowing, Others may
rest, but for him there is no rest
at least none here, 1t is to be hop
ed that after while, in that land
where "there is rest for the weary,
he may be able to enter into tina,
"rest which remaincth for the peo'
pie Of God" which he Will be al
the better prepared to enjoy be-
cause of lis unceasing work here
In TACT, We doubt if any one vii
enjoy heaven more than the editor
it he gets there.-Sweetwatel
Telephone.

For moro than ten years very sensi-
BILE mule has been working in the mines
near Blossburg, Ala. He will pull his
usual load of six cars of coal from bot
tom to top without a murmur, but il
you put on an extra car he will kick and
bray and refuse to go until relieved.
When the cars are unloaled at the top
he will always mount an empty car and
lie down and ride to the bottom of the
slope, distance of half mile. On one
occasion, as he was drawing up load, a
train of empty cars got loose and won't
down the slope at break-neck speed,
and the men thought the mule would
be killed by the collision, but as the
empty cars were about to rush on him
he jumped on the first ono and rode
back to the bottom with the whole
train.

What has recently been made
public in relation to the sickness
and suffering of our soldiers at
home and abroad, suggests the idea
that General Negligence and Gen.
eral lncompetency have had a great
deal to do with it That somebody
bIundered there is no doubt, and
when the responsibility is fixed, as
we believe it will be, by the inves>
tigation of Congress, the guilty will
be punished.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.

We had hoped that the fall ses>
sion of the public school might
have been opened this first week of
September but the unsatisfactory
condition which exists as to the
school funds very properly deters
the directors from making any con.
tracts until they know there is
money available to pay for s,rvico
es. The facts in the matter are
these. The district has been run
ming in debt year alter year, and a
year ago the school started with on
ly $1,000 available. and the pro
rate for 1897 tax whenever avail
able. Up to the date OF this writA
Ing no one knows what tie bali
ance after paying for teaching of
fill term OF 1897 is. 1t has be,n
estimated at $4,000. Trustee
Raulston whites us it viii he some~
thing over hundred dollars. We
shall know sometime. If the di~
r1ctors do their duty a recurrence
of this sad condition of affairs
should never happen again.
