We are more than pleased to see
bow the sentiment is changing in re-

work is being agitased by the mimic
iers from the pulpits, in the schools
and on every hand, and the best
place to plant the seed is in the home.
The parents should teach their child
rem to be rure in thought. word and
deed: keep nothing bu, pnre litera-
;ure for them TO read, and there is
not family in our little village that
need be without good books or pa
pers in their homes. A nice little
magazine for the children to read
| oftentimes keep them from seeking
the street TO while away the hours,
when if there was some innocent
| amusement inside the home, there
would be fewer boys and girls not
| seeking pleasures elsewhere. Begin
the new year with renewed energy

have cause to regret the efforts put
forth in this direction, thereby not

The Philadelphia Record calls atten-
ton to the character of Boer patriots
thus: Among the killed on tho Boer
side in the battle Of Spion Kop was
Lieutenant Won Brusewitz, a German
officer who had recently entered the
service OF Dom Paul. The slain lieu
tenant attested his attachment to the
principles Of republicanism and popu-
lar government some years ago by
running his sword through a civilian
who had inadvertently brushed against
him in German cafe. The institutions
OF the Transvaal, which reserve to a
privileged minority the right TO bear
arms and to lord it over the civilian
white trash" must have appealed
strongly TO Won Brusewitz and the
military caste Of which he was an ex-
emplary member"
