You are a married man and bringing
up a child. Do you know what you
are bringing up that child to do? You
can or at least should look ahead and
see the gigantic monopolies crushing
out the lives of the people. II the
child Is daughter, she will have to
struggle for living. To get enough
for today is all that you can do. The
tomorrow the daughter must look out
for. Perhaps she marries man, a
workingman who gets out of work. You
know the rest. If your child is son,
he grows up to manhood to find every
avenue Of trade closed to him. He
has not got the means and the in
huence to get foothold in the world.
What is next? Crime. And yet how

Pertinent Questions.

The Rev. Frank Bristol, pastor OF the
First M. E. church Of Washington, ID
c., said in a recent sermon that, COM
pairing the twelve per cent illiteracy Of
the United States with the seventy-five
per cent illiteracy Of Spain, we may
boldly declare that the victories OF the
war Just closed were won by the school
master. And this does not mean that
God is to be counted out. THE more
science the more God in the worlds
history" he truly says. And apropos
of modern history he asks: rs this a
less providential age than the age OF
Moses? Is the electric light less provi-
Dental than the pillar Of fire? Is Da-
kota wheat harvest less providential
than a shower of mama? Is South
Carolina cotton crop less providential
than the quails in the wilderness? Was
the discovery of America less provi-
Dental than the finding Of Canaan?
Was the Declaration Of Independence
less providential than the Decalogue OF
Sinai? Were the guns of Dewey and
Sampson less providential than the
rams horns of Joshua, the lamps and
pitchers of Gideon or the rod of Moses?
Were Manila and Santiago less provi-
Dental in the history of human free
dom than Jericho and Al? Is Christian
civilization less providential than was
Jewish barbarism?" Pertinent ques-
lions these and suggestive Of the future
responsibilities Of this nation.

TO WALK CORRECTLY.

To walk well is an art that should
be learned by every woman when she
is young, and then as she grows older
she will walk gracefully as matter
Of course and there will be no effort
at all in the way that she does 1t.
For though a woman can learn to walk
perfectly gracefully when she is old
er, there is never the unconscious
grace of motion that there is If she is
taught how to walk as child. The
training of child in walking correctly
should begin at its very earliest years.
AS soon as it is old enough to be
taught to walk it should be taught
how to do it correctly. Very many
children are really never taught to
walk at all. They are put on their
feet by their nurses and allowed to run
about anyhow, and little faults. that
may grow into large ones, go utterly
unchecked. All children should be
taught to dance when they are between
and G.; this will make them walk
better and hold themselves better than
anything else.
When you walk you should put the
foot firmly and yet lightly on the
ground. Never walk as though your
feet were Of lead and yet do not mince
and go along as If you were overcome
with affectation; either extreme Is
very bad style. You should hold your
body erect and your head up and the
shoulders we'll back. In this way you
will always look we'll and preserve
your health and avoid any kind OF
lung or chest trouble. The effect Of
walking is to exercise the muscles,
quicken the breathing. improve the
digestion and keep the body in per-
feet health. If, however, the Shout
ders and head are bent forward the
good effect is entirely lost sight Of and
there will be no good whatever come
from your walk.
For walk to do good, you should, II
possible, always have a companion
with you, as when you are talking the
blood circulates more freely in the
brain and the benefit that you derive
from the open air is very greatly in
creased. And also the walk should
be a bona-fide one, not merely an
idle saunter up and down road with
no special object in view. And al
ways have before you the wish to ap-
pear at your best as you walk, not
merely to try to get over the ground
as quickly as possible in any kind OF
a. way. Women who scurry along like
rabbits or hens lose all idea Of a
graceful carriage and look more abb
surd than anything else.

The labor press all over the country
reports that work in every industry is
picking up.
Denver department stores have dis
charged all children under IA years of
age as the result Of agitation by Den

Eight thousand coal miners of Ten
nessee have secured seven per cent
increase in wages without strike.
The movement which was begun
about month ago at Fall River, Mass,
having for its object the closing down
of rs or e'of the principal cloth mills
for four weeks, has failed and all the
mills will continue In operation.
Judging from the accounts of elabo-
rate preparations for Labor Day cele-
brations this year, as given in the dr.

it will be a memorable day in the an

He was q boy most delicately bred.
A town boy and his mothers only one;
Her fair hands stroked his shapely, curly
head,
She feared, for his sake, storm. cold.
and sun.
What had he, then, to do with suffering?
But all brave men she'd taught him to
admire;
So when he heard the countrys war-cry
ring,
What could she say? His eyes were
hers on fire.
A common soldier to the front he went,
Youth, health, life. love. hope, fame all
in breath,
Into one patriotic offering blent
He flung a gage into the face of Death!
And he redeemed his gage where bullets
Kissed,
Tipping the charging columns irving
wedge;
Or, prison penned, with white lips hunger
kissed,
Pains trimming cup he drank, his coun-
try's pledge.
Death he defed until death passed him by.
Taking as surety only scars and YOUTH
Then he came home nor heaved one
backward sigh
Der all he'd given UP for land and truth.
A common soldier as he went he came.
And yet a hero! Who gives more than
all?
He who gives all, nor asks for even fame,
What is there, more than hero, such
to call?
What was he? There were thousands
such as he
Men every inch. from crown to tip OF
toe!
For such, o country, what reward shall
be?
The gods take not; tits theirs but to
bestow.
And Godlike men-'twas manhood that
they threw
Into the scale when treason kicked the
beam:
And manhood is not purchased! Buy the
To whom high honor is a foolish dream!
This boy and all his noble fellows gave
What money buys not. pays not for
when given.
This market talk dishonors every grave.
Like simony that cen would purchase
Heaven.
o country, cherish lovingly all those In
need.
But do not offer insult to brave men!
Leave the base scramble to the shameless
greed
That gauges manhood by the cattle pen.
Lift high each hero on a pedestal
Where honors sun upon his brows shall
shine;
30 up the future shall their shadows fall.
To teach our children manhood Is divine.
