AS TRUE AS GOSPEL.

Speak well of your friend. Of your
enemy. say nothing.
He who says what he likes will hear
what he does not like.
A mans manners are the mirror In
which he shows his portrait.
II cheerfulness knocks for admls-
sion, We should open our hearts wide
to receive 1t, for 1t never comes mop
portunely.
Learning is either good or bad &C.
cording to him that has tan excel
lent weapon, II well used; otherwise,
like a sharp razor in the hands Of a
child.
Life is no idle dream, but solemn
reality based on and encompassed by
eternity. Find out your work, and
stand to 1t; the night cometh when no
man can work. -.
All brave men are brave In initia-
tive, but the courage which enables
them to succeed where others dare not
even attempt is never SO potent as
when 1t leads to entire self-forgetful-
ness.
Those who despise fame seldom de-
serve it. We are apt to undervalue the
purchase we cannot reach, to conceal
our poverty the better. 1t is spark
which kindles upon the best fuel, and
Durns brightest in the bravest breast
Not aforementioned is the hour when
first friends met. Friends, but friends
on earth, and therefore dear; sought
OFT, and sought almost as oft in vain,
yet always sought, so native to the
heart; SO much desired and coveted by

Free Skirt J !! / ]
Making
Some More.

That free skirt making proposition
OF ours seems TO be about the most ta-
king proposition that is abroad in the
land in Des Moines this beginning OF
the New Year. The only trouble about
it, the ladies complain, Is that there
isn't days enough left. All day Sat-
urday, and then the show is over. We
repeat the proposition once more that
ali will understand it. The dress goods
and Innings necessary to make the skirt
must be bought here, and the dress
goods must not cost less than 35c
per yard. These skirts are made by
expert skirt makers, are made either
plain or flowing bottoms, and are fitted,
Il ladies desire, without extra charge.

What The Late Race
Riots Actually
Mean.

The North and South Carolina race
riots, the incidents of Pana and Virden,
Ill.,. and the late mass-meeting of the
Negro in the North In which they have
come to the front. to explain and to tell,
that lie can not live; like check drawn
against natures bank, says Carlyle some
where, it. is sure 70 come back with the
Endorsement No Effect For over q
generation the nation has been fed on
the lie that the sense of humanity and
democracy rebelled against chattle slavery.
That the lie now comes back like q
protested check. ....-" ~
Capitalism already powerful In tho North
needed the liberation Of the Negro slave.
Free composition; in law of capitalist
development, think the laborer is hamp-
cred, without the capitalist growth.
! The capitalist Of the North veil them
selves behind the veil OF mainly and
democracy, and l believe that on these
lines it freed the Negro, and today the
Negro freed. is wage slave along With
the white working class at the present
turning of the lane. The interest Of cap
ital demand tho subjuSation of the work
ing class Negro and otherwise, regardless
Of race, creed or nationality. But as I
believe not this spectacle alone is worthy
Of note IN this connection. 1t is not the
Negro that was massacred IN the Carroll
mas. 1t was Carolina working men, Car
DINA wage-slnve, who as I believe hap.
pened to be cclored men.
And not rs q Negro must we rise in
indignation threat il we do we only yield
to an industrial and social lie that places
him in the wrong, and seems to condone
outrage on Others, and that must or will
be futile.
II y IS woiking men, as branch Of
the working lass that the Negro must
dsnounce the felonies. Only BY touching
that cord can 10 dsnounce 10 any purpose,

How Icing should child remain in

There are households In which tho

1t all right. In the home there should
be freedom of speech. Children should
be encouraged to express, in a modest

they will not be likely to take any

plying the home standard Of propriety
