The American Idea.

hC hhiNAASHh ANS"s
l do not want the American to lool
up to any man or down on any man
Do not be lackey and do not be
lackeyed to.
Let every man take his own med
icine.
No majority that is wrong can be
permanent
Let him who has gone along moi
despise him who ls coming along.
II is the folks that make a country
A man ought to cast the ballot as
he takes the sacrament,
Recognize every attempt at self
government by any people.
don't believe in Ioafers, poor or
rich.
Liberty is law.
All things that nations die OF are
in the power Of citizens to cure.
II you want me TO respect the law
you must make the law respectable.
There can be no republic made out
Of lords and peasantry, millionalres
and tramps
Perhaps it is well not to be a parti-
san at all, but simply tell the truth to
men on both sides the barricadC.
We believe IN the right of every
to have what any man has and to be-
come what any man is on the same
terms.
No man shall be hindered except
by his own limitation or his own choice;
the road shall be free to every faculty.
Whatever government people sub
NIT to is good enough for them.
Laws that hop, skip and jump to
drop only on a section or class will
always be held in contempt.
There is not a thing in sight that is
not for mans sake; all institutions are
for his sake. He is most valuable.
Nothing ls too good for man.
The strength Of a minority is in it's
being right and it's energy and cour-
age and vigilance, IN its wisdom, too,
but above all In its patience.
What is more imbt Gle than a man
who, face to face with an action, has
to consult the outside authorlties2
There is no exact precedent for any
action. Every human life is a new
one.
If / were to run a race today /
would be ashamed to run against a
man whose feet were hobbled or who
was In anyway handicapped. Equal
opportunities to all, special advan-
tsges to none, that Is the American
idea.
Any law should be SIMPLE and nat
ural, growing out of the common
need, the common consent and com.
mon sense.
So we do not ipjure other people,
we are entitled TO no end of liberty
My liberty ends where my neighbours
liberty begins.
There may be a possible danger in
more light, more liberty and more
life, but we pray to be permitted to
take the risk.
We see what we need in this coun.
try. Our rivers are long, our plains
are wide, our hills are high. Now
we want men and women on the same
grand scale,--Rev Myron Reed.

Looking our best.

It's just as easy to present a
good appearance and of course it's
every mans duty to look his best.
1t goes without saying that the
way your clothes fit you, has much
to do with pour success-has much
to do with your comfort as well.
There's a degree of assurance of
self satisfaction goes with suits
that are becoming, and that fit
you as was intended good suits
should fit. Any man is better
equipped for various phases of
social and business life if he is
becomingly dressed.
The satisfactory feature about
our tailoring is that while it is
the foremost for rich results yet
the prices are along economical
lines-they're such as you pay
with pleasure, for you get the
real worth.

the land at $3.50 per acre, and the
improvements at $500, which would
make in all 1900, and the levy is
four per cent then the taxes would
be $4,000 on that much; but sup
pose the assessor values the land at
5000 per acre and the improve

raise the $4,000 revenue the levy
would only be two per cent instead

From him we learn great many
very interesting facts that have moi
got into the papers. Private Smith
was discharged at San Francisco,
having come there as a member Of
the Red Cross on board the Rio
Janeiro which brought number of
sick soldiers from Manila. He tells
us of the British naval officers and
seamen who were at the battle of
Manila and after the surrender,
and says they were exceedingly
friendly with our boys. The Ger
mans were not so much, 80 and
seemed chagrined at the success OF
Admiral Dewey.
He also detailed the incidents of
the engagement; how the Spaniards
were placed up in the trees of
heavy evergreen growth where they
could not DO seen, and being the
best sharpshooters in the Spanish
army did very effective service, and
for hours shot down our boys and
none could tell from what source

they were scattered and used the
smokeless powder. But when one
was located our gunuers would soon |
him; when our long range |
guns would be fred one could see

boughs OF the tree where he had
been secreted for hours, dealing out
leath to our boys with unerring

He also tells the story as they
lave it down there, that when
Dewey, after having made his at

ause OF this movement on the part :

Water as / q Beverage. e.

f There are few people who thoroughly
realize the value of water as q beverage,
or who know how to obtain the greatest
advantage from it.. The effects produced
by the drinking of water vary with the
manner in which it is drunk. i If, for in
stance, pint of cold wafer be swallowed
az large draft, or if it be taken in two
portions with a short interval between.
certain definite results follow-effects
which differ from those which would
have resulted from the same quantity
taken by slipping. Slipping is % powerful
stimlllaIt TO the circulation, d thing
which ordinary drinking is not Is During
the act Of slipping the action Of the nerve
which slows the beats Of the heart is
abolished, and as a consequences that or
gan contracts much more rapidly, the
pulse beats much more quickly, and the
circulation in various parts Of the body
is increased. In addition to this, we find
that the pressure under which the bile
is 4secreted is raised by the slipping Of
fluid. And here is a point which, might
well be noted by our readers: A glass
Of cold wafer, slowly sipped,; will pro
duce greater acceleration of the pulse
for a time than will a glass of wine or
spirits taken at q draft. In this CON
nection it may not be out Of place to men

allay the craving for alcohol in those
who have been in the habit Of taking too
much Of it, and who may be endeayoring

The Left-Hand shake,

lis a fad now With some people to
greet one another with d left-hand shake.
This strikes an everyday sort Of person
as embarrassing and awkward. Human
nature can never associate good fellow
ship and sincerity with the left hand.
No expression of heartiness can be con-
sveyed through the left-hand shake. There
lis something uncanny about it. "A child
naturally shrinks and draws back when
made to shake hands with one-armed
man. Just SO do grown people shrink
from the man or woman who gives the
left hand ia in greeting. This variety Of the
commonplace greeting always affects one
lunp1easantly. The high hand shake,
which was the cause Of so much embar-
rassment, was bad enough. The pump
handle shake was worse, but this left
handed grip is the worst of all. When a
thoughtful person sees friend meet friend
