THE HABIT OF INDIFFERENCE

AN IMPORTANT failing with many people is their
habit Of Indifference. They live in ignorance of
what is transporting around Them have interest in
the affairs of life and make effort to develop the
faculty Of observation They beltte the Importance
of every duty acknowledge necessity and take no
part in anything progressive or elevating. Lacking
the fire of energy they have sympathy with it or
pride in it's achievements
The Indifferent man is serious in nothing, makes
effort to develop his mental physical abilities
or advance his material resources, but day-dreams
his time away in indoent aircastle building and the
nothingness Of vagary He is conscientious or
careful has regard for the value of time, but is
wasteful Of all things and attentive of nothing and
wherever found is cipher in industry and trav-
esty on ability
This habit of indifference is the result of per-
hitting the senses and faculties to become dued by
disuse. Work is done mechanically, without heart,
spirit or energy details are neglected in the hurry
to complete the whole and ambition is allowed to
decay under mental nanity The life that is a con-
tinual round Of pleasure that has higher aim than
the qualification of base DESIRES that lives only for
self and that avoids the useful and respectable is the
life that is Indifferent to it's welfare, its own
purposes and it's own fate. To live without taking
interest in life it's duties it's implied obligations
and it's triumphs and defeats is to live animal
with wants above eating and sleeping and place
to rest. The who can find nothing to do is the
inactive who has no push and who is wanting
in perseverance, application and determination.
In the exercise of the faculties of intelligence is
to be found the safeguard of active temperament
which admits of no indifference or hesitation To
observe closely awakens interest," and interest is the
foe of Indifference. Into every duty and every les
son whole heart, whole energy and whole ability
should be thrown.

Rev. CHARLES SHELDON, the erstwhile whirl-
wind press reformer, has just returned from Eng
land. In letter to the Topeka Capital he says that
England is the country for drunkards that is
to be found on the map. He describes their public
houses abominable places where even little chill
dren admitted that the streets lined with old
soaks and that respectable people pushed into
the street by staggering military heroes He also
says that if England goes to destruction it will not
be because Of intenecne or danger from other
nations but because she has drunk herself into de-
structon. We are inclined to think that Mr.. Shell
don is extreme pessimist and that he visited the
worse streets in London in order to find the exact
information he desired. If he to go to certain
quarters in New York. Chicago, Cincinnati and other
large cities he could find exact counterpars to those
which came under his observation while doing Merry
England Still we shouldn't take the reverend gent
leman too seriously, as his penchant for creating
wonders is we'll known and needs no comment.

IT LOOKS as though the negroes in this country
are in as much danger of their lives as the ma

broke out. Last week it was New York mobs that
broke loose and surged up and down several promi-

regardless of age If this sort Of lawessness
keeps it only lead to conclusion, and that
is the forcing Of each colored to become walk

To BE absolutely truthful at all times, is almost
impossible. When one has attained the acme OF
perfection in honesty he then realizes how easy it
to eopardze anothers friendship and also disturb
his own peace of mind by being absolutely truthful
He also realizes that if he tells the truth it assists in
compromising matters, but if he remains silent it
means sure conviction Such conditions are bound
to face the of unimpeachable truthfuness and it

The Hon. William Wortham, long

York jewelry store one day when he
noticed a showcase filled with spien-
did jeweled revolvers with silver and
gold grips and chased barrels, having
precious stones set into the butts.
"Lemme see one of those guns" he
said to the clerk.
(which one, sir?"
"The gold one with the big ruby in
the handle"
The clerk took 1t from the case. II
was marked $33, and it looked worth
even more. The Texan took 1t tender.

self up to his full height, which was
61a feet, he rested the revolver barrel
upon his left elbow, crooked for the
purpose, and looked over the sights
down the long store. Those persons
who saw him involuntarily lodged.
