spirit on your part will still further en-

My dear people, l want To say few
words to you this evening about the
badness of human nature. 1t is easy
to be bad. There is also a good deal
OF fun in it. 1t is the bad man who has
n fur lined Overcoat in winter, duck
suit In summer and champagne and
ice cream in the intervals. As l turn
the stereopticon light on the canvas
you behold the picture of Nero. Up
to the age Of 81 he was good man.
While other young men were OFF to the
circus or races he was at home helping
his mother cut carpet rags or white
wash the cellar. He retired to his
couch at 3 o'clock at night instead or
whooplng things up at the Tivoli. He
rose with the lark. and he rose without
head on him. no swearing, no smok-
ing, no drinking-just goodness. One
day, after young Nero had been saw
ing 4 cord of hickory wood in two, he
sat down To rest his back and figure
bit. The result was that he decided
TO make q change. He had come to the
conclusion that goodness didn't pay.
That's where he made mistake
weighing n ton, as all the world knows.
History has told you his career. He
walked right into the house as first
move and kicked over the churn and
upset the flour barrel and then de-
manded Il quarter of his astonished
mother and went off on a spree. From
that day on he was n cuss on wheels.
He painted the old town red every
night In the week and got up next
day to paint her blue. His mother died
of n broken heart, and he sold her fiat
irons and quilt frames to bet on a
chariot race. His father was found
dead with tears in his eyes, and young
Nero sold off the chickens and pigs and
the old homestead to back gladiator.
There was no holding him down except
when the Roman constables sat on
him. He became sort of holy terror
70 the wnOIe roman empire ana Wnen
he finally died there was such general
satisfaction that the factory whistles
footed and the wages OF the hired girls
were advanced a dollar month.
During his career Nero swan in
champagne. reveled in quail on toast
and wore the best toga in the empire.
He had money in every pocket. admir-
ers on every corner. and high rolled to
beat the band. And yet what did it all
amount to? He died poor and disgrac-
ed, and history hasn't got through
abusing him yet. He had traded OF
an orange grove for a cabbage patch.
1 say to you all. and 1 say to that
squint eyed. lantern jawed man in the
third row in particular, that whoever
figures that badness is a good invest
ment is going TO get left. 1t is full Of

knocked seven bells out OF everything
he came across and had money to
bury on every island he came across.
He thought he was having high old
time and that il would last to his
eighty-fifTh year and that he would
then give $4,000 TO an orphan asylum
and die in his bed. All of you know
how he ended. He was still prancing
and cavorttng and high rolling when
the law seized him and he was hung
by the neck. He figured it all out be-
fore he went his way. and he came to
the conclusion that he hadn't been in
ii. He wrote n down on his shirt col
lar in red ink that his having had
high old time was all a mistake and
that the farmer who had stuck to corn
and potatoes was ahead OF the pirate
business. / see before me bald
headed, broad backed man, who is evil
IDENTIFY itching to become pirate bold.
/ call on him to pause ere il is too late,
Let us take Il still more historical
case. Behold the picture of Judas Is
CARROT. 1t is a sketch made of him
while he was a young man, and you
see that he holds ithe pillow behind an
OK. Judas was a.tiller of the soil for
many years. He was naturally good,
and daily contact with nature added to
his goodness. He came to be known
far and wide as a man who always
shoveled the snow off his sidewalk
clear up to the line, and If he had
lawsuit about a line fence he didn't
drag in the whole country. When he
went up to Jerusalem, he was honored
and respected of all men, and his daily
life was without a blot. No one has
tried to explain why Judas suddenly
made up his mind to change and give
things away. He was rewarded with
"a pieces of silver, but he had no note
coming due and was not hard up for
cash. But change he did, and he no
doubt expected to have high old times
and lead the band. His career, as you
all know, was brief and rocky. Things
didn't turn out as he hoped for. He
was Stunned of men. lodged of dogs
and died without having enjoyed him
self for a day. / am now looking at
man in this audience who closely re-
sembles Judas Iscariot and who may
be planning to sell out and cut loose.
If so, let my words sink deep into his
heart when 1 say that the result Of

FREAKS OF THE MIND.
Some of the Strange Powers 1t Often
Has Over the VIII.

some Oh the FOweEh OItcn
Has Over the VIII.
Did you ever think how often you eat
and never stick your fork in your eye?
You always stick your fork in your
mouth. If you ate in the dark, it
would be the same thing. You would
never put out your eye by putting your
fork in it. Why Because your sub
conscious mind is doing its automatic
duty and knows very we'll that you eat
with your mouth and not with your
eye.
Many other actions are automatic
For instance, 20 people have gathered
on q street corner to board a passing
car. The very fact that they are there
means that the car will stop. The first
man has already signaled the motor
man. So do the other 10. And the
same thing happens if ten people
gather to descend in an elevator. The
first conner rings the bell. So do the
other nine-merely automatically. The
sign says Ring" so each man takes
this sign to himself and rings.
A shoemaker once had a shop in the
basement of a large building down
town. The shoemaker worked with
his back to the door. Every time the
door opened the shoemaker turned his
head TO the left to see who entered.
For ten years the shoemaker worked
and turned his head almost every hour
in the day. Before many years had
passed the shoemaker's head turned
automatically, and now that man has
spent all the money he has ever made
trying to be cured of this automatic
habit. But his head still jerks, so that
he looks over his left shoulder con-
stantly.-New York Herald.

TO ENTERTAIN THE PRESS.

The Wisconsin Press association will
spend its summer outing in this valley
beginning at the DellS and ending in
a camp among The many pretty lakes
in Mort hern Wisconsin for one week.
Secretary Lester A. Rose presented
plan For the novel and
unique. He proposed to hold a Wis
conSin Valley carnival at each of the
cities along the line preparing a
programme for the editors as they
visited the different cities. AS the
matter is mainly in the hands of the
towns to be visited, it was referred to
the local advisory boards of the
auxiliary associations with request
that their action be reported to the
secretary as early as possible. Mr.
Rose says that there was no doubt
about Wausau, that city will give a
| flower carnival on the day that the
press train, rendered by the St. Paul
company, stopped over at hat city,
and welcome meeting at the opera
| house in the evening.
Various minor propositions were
entertained, all in all it was an event
full meeting and has awakened re-
newed and greater enthusiasm than
ever.

that is, in proportion to the revenue
which they respectfully enjoy under
the protection Of the state" Our
people have made payments PROMPTLY
as usual. and have delivered the
greater part of their contributions to
the city treasurer, according to the
charges imposed by authority. as
revenue to meet the expenses of public
service. This season of the wear

those keep in mind the economic fact
that small expenditures mean small
results, and that in the main we NAV

to yield such returns as money paid i'm
