NOTES.

Give US political unity on the part OF
Christian voters, and a rising genera
ton of total abstainers and law lovers,
aud prohibition will not only triumph
in Kansas, but it will spread TO all the
other States and soon be the law OF the
entire nation.-ReU. Chas. ". Sheldon.
From 1880 to 1890 prohibition in
Kansas increased her wealth per capita
from Sl63 to 81 ,26l, while the increase
in the nation a. whole was only from
$50 to 81. O39. During the last half of
this decade the law was rigidiy en-
forced. Does this look like prohibition
running our prosperity ?-Kaasos Issue.

The deepest human love is oft-times
the last to speak of itself, for fear of
being misunderstood. Rightly too.
The dashing picture of a galloping
horse is shown on many a wall. A
photograph of a galloping horse looks
unnatural, yet is the truth, while the
picture we approve is lie. A love
scene in play has to be like that
horse, a picture of love that all will
recognize as they think it ought to be.
Yet never a love scene has been played
or written that tells the truth of what
human love is and can do. That is
locked in the hearts of those who know,
and they tell it not for fear 1t be de-
nounced as unlike play or book.

They who live TO forty-iive, when the
hey-day Of life and desire is past, with
out seeking aud finding definite way
to spend the remainder Of life are OBJ
jects Of pity. Unless we discover by
that time some great working method
in the universe and settle on one for
ourselves this hustling, hurrying, buck
STEERING family Of human being will
seem like a witless, aimless mob.
With a working method for our own
lives, the feeling creeps into the heart
that there must be many more like US
and the world not such an aimless
affair after all.

Present Day Thoughts.


Five Thoughts:-The only lasting
greatness is the greatness Of goodness.
Other greatness may have its shoe
lickings and tread proud way to the
grave, but the end thereof is less to be
desired than the end Of faithful horse.
The greatness Of goodness is not
measured 10y weight nor by yard-stick,
but by the way the opportunities Of
life, small and great, have been utilized
for the intelligent doing Of good to
others. This being so, the royal ranks
of the great are mixed company and
the small and despised Of the world
right often the highest in rank.
-
National greatness is, for those who
see and foresee, summed up in two
goodness. The strength
Of nation that wants to live as
power consists in honesty and purity;
just as the strength Of man consists,
not in the things he hears Of in others,
but what he himself does. National
greatness is not a mystery. 1t is made
or marred by the individuals compos-
ing the nation. Their share Of intelli-
gence, their honesty Of purpose, their
in the presence Of
public duty, are the measure Of their
nation. "They" are not over in the
next county. What are you doing for
your country?
The Farmville herald. [volume] (Farmville, Va.) 1890-1934, 1900-03-09

A face Of perfect peace is difficult to
find. Our crowds are too eager for
gain, too hurried by social life, too anx-
ious about the morrow to have time
to prepare a serene face for the world
to see. Yet how lovely such a face
when, here and there, we find it. 1t
betokens the setting Of money-gain
down far below the gain Of culture, it
shows a proper estimate Of what life Is
worth, it is proof in itself Of a belief
that in this world the happy way is to
live wisely and well and to let live.

Henry Barstow, one of the strong
men OF Providence, - the steward of
the Narragansett- Boat club. .- lie can
outrow most of the scullers in the club,
and he has 2oO-mile record on a wheel.
When Barstow came to the club a few
years ago it cost s10O each year to hire
help to put the house In shape for the
winter. Floats and heavy runs had to
be disposed of. Barstow has done away
with all OF this labor bill with a rope
harness he lifts the lO0o-pound runs from
the water 10 the shore, and he has con-
verted himself into q human spile driver
when the floats are being tackled down
with sapings to the bottom OF the
stream. There is 70o-pound barge at
the club. which Barstow can shoulder
after a springing lift.
Charles Read IS one OF the wiry men
OF the city. He is In the iror trade.
Once, when he bought bar of bronze
at local factory. he was told that he
could have all he could carry over 500
weight on HIS shoulders for two cents
under the market price Read was load
ed with the metal until he staggered
away under 9i7 pounds. He can lift sim
gle handed. with comparative ease, the
end OF a 6o-foot steel rail.
