II frequently happens that Il man who
has an intense hatred Of another. and
expresses his hatred in the strongest
terms at his command. paints n better
portrait of himself than Of the man he
hates. The demons in our own hearts
are likely to he reflected upon others
and we become furious at what we be-
lieve to be the vilanous traits of an
other, when in reality we are looking at
our own selves. Genuinely good men,
who have no malice in their souls, are
more prone to commend good charac-
teristics than to be constantly looking
for bad ones. es.-Punxsutawney Spirit.

SEEING THE POINT.

A boy returned from school one day
with the report that his scholarship
had fallen below the usual average.
| And this conversation took place:
Son. said his father, "youve fallen
behind this month, haven't you 2"
"Yes, SIR"
"How did that happen 2"
Don't know, SIR"
The father knew II the son did not.
He had observed number of dime
novels scattered about the house; but
had not thought it worth while to say
anything until a fitting opportunity
should offer itself. A basket OF apples
stood upon the floor, and he said
empty out those apples, and take
the basket and bring it to me half-full
Of chips"
Suspccting nothing, the son obcyed.
"And now" he continued, ''put those
| apples back into the basket"
When half the apples were replaced,
the boy said:
'father they roll OF. | can't put any
more in
'Put them in, tell YOU
But, father, can't put them in
PUT them in? No, OF course you
can't put them in. You said you didn't
know why you fell behind at school,
and will tell you why. Your mind is
like that basket. 1t will not hold more
than so much. And here you've been
the past month filling it up with chip
dirt-dime novels"
The boy turned on his heel, whistled,
and said: "Whew. see the point"
Not dime novel has been seen in
the house from that day to this.-Ep-

The county commissioners have had
very little trouble with the triennial
appeal. They attribute the satisfaction
that generally prevails to the assessors'
convention which was held in Brook
vile just before the assessments were
made, at which convention the matter
was thoroughly discussed and uniform
assessment, so far as possible, decided
upon. The commissioners have so far
this year found two men who thought
their assessments IA little low and sug-
gested that they be raised. One Of
these remarkable men is Ringgold
township farmer and the other one is u
Perry township farmer. They both
deserve gold medals.

ucpnrtimcnt 10 Editor Educational Column,
Boys and girls, in three days more
the fifth month Of your present term
will have passed into eternity, and we
are sorry to observe that many of you
have not needed the many warnings
and advices that have been given you,
but are still Indifferent and careless,
taking no thought Of the future. Your
actions In this respect calls TO mind II
little story Of n prisoner who, being
convicted of serious crime was placed
In u cell at one corner of which was n
faucet, attached to tank on the outside
OF the cell. He was sentenced to die
when ever the water in the tank was ex-
haus'cd. Ono day he thoughtlessly
turned the water on and let IL spurt
about the cell for II long time, then sud
denly recollccting himself he turned IL
of and soloquized in this manner:
"Whnt fool | am. Upon the amount
Of water In the concealed tank the
length Of my life depends. know not
the quantity. there may be hogsheads
or there may be but II single gallon, and
here have thoughtlessly been shorten
ing my life by wilfully and deliberately
wasting II. 10 may bc down to the last
pint and, II so, in IA day more | must
die. whereas I, in my folly, have wasted
enough to prolong life many days"
Now, boys and girls, your case is par
allel with the above exactly. You have Il
certain number Of years or months each
one 10 yet to attend school and acquire
an education. The length Of time, like
the amount Of water TO the unfortunate
prisoner, is an unknown quantity to
you, and yet you deliberately and will
fully, day after day open the valve and
allow the precious moments to go Ia
nothing and accomplish not one iota
towards prOlonging your educational
life. When the time has expired you
die, as far rs school life Is concerned,
and when you look back and think over
the past you wilhcxclaim. like the care
less convict: Alas. what II fool | have
been to fritter away the best part of my
life In idleness and now when il is too
late am buiIetted about to and fro In
the world, helpless ana dependent.
There seems to be something radically
wrong with the educational machinery,
but where and what it is, is difficult
to determine. The last three months
OF the present term will soon slip by
and you will then wonder where the
time has gone, and will then see the
folly Of having wasted so much valuable
time. Many Of you waste too much
time reading novels and trashy story
papers and with other silly things,
which you will deeply regret some day.
Below we give you lite extract en-.
titled. "SeeiDg the Point" Read il
carefully and reflect seriously and, like
the boy mentioned, you will be enabled
to see where you stand.

deal from the bottom, drink beer until

cular saw, and still he is infinitely bet

who makes his home hell, who vents
ON the head of his poor helpless wife and
children the i'll nature he would like to

Samuel Henderson, tifteen-year-old
lad of Philadelphia, was arrested last
week for numbering seven-year-old
playmate. Henderson stabbed the boy
four times and then tied two large
stones to the body and threw 1t into the
river. He had tied another boy to Il
tree, presumably with the intention of
numbering him after getting through
with the first boy, but the five-year-old
boy, that had been tied to the tree,
broke loose and ran home. Henderson
had threatened to kill his parents and
brothers and sister. Several times his
parents awoke at night and found
their son standing at their bedside.
They become afraid and locked their
bedroom door at night. AT the inquest
young Henderson admitted that he had
been reading novels In which Jesse
James was the hero, and said, "If
hadn't read these books wouldn't have
done it," Parents that don't want to be
brought with sorrow to the grave had
better see to it that their sons and
daughters do not fll their minds with
the trashy novel. Doyou know whether
your boy is filling his brain with Jesse
James literature or not? There is
plenty Of good, wholesome, interesting
reading for boys and girls, and it be-

children are provided with only pure
