RITZvILLE, NOVEMBER 10, 1901.

Do you clgtch dollar until the
Goddess of Liberty gasps for breath
only to give it up to some iakir on the
street? Take wise advice and save
your money. Ninety-nine per cent Of
the money you spend on street fakirs
is wasted. Do you own horse and
carriage? Did anyone ever ride be-
hind your horse except members OF
your own family? ii not you ought
to be ashamed. Do you go to church?
1t won't hurt you and it may do you
some good. It's good habit; try it.
Do you leave your horse hitched to
post half long summer day with his
head refined away up in the air, and
when the flies are bad? If you had to
trade places with the horse for about
an hour you would never do it again
1t is cruel and real good horsemen
never do it.

An old author has said that "Jeru-
salem was kept clean by everyone
sweeping in front of his own door,"
The moral OF this is obvious. 1t
means that everything is cared for in
a manner corresponding with the in
terest that each individual gives to
that which belongs to himself. This
applies with equal truth to property,
family or other considerations. We
can only keep clean things in which
we are interested by sweeping in
front OF our own doorway" Were
each one to be properly impressed
with the truth and possibilities OF
these observations and were to act &C.
