Environment.

"HERE is no doubt that our
early environment is an i'm
portant factor in shaping the
destiny of our lives. But too
much stress should not be laid upon
this, as we often see the boy, who, tho
born in All environment OF poverty,
debauchery and drink, lives to become
an honest, law abiding citizen and
sometimes attains wealth and power.
On the other hand, it often happens
that the child bofn of respectable,
we'll to do parents, and placed in a
clean moral atmosphere, turns out
badly, goes from bad to worse and
finally becomes an inmate of a cell in
the penitentiary. But whatever our
early environment, whether it was
good or bad, we have certainly all
reached the same place. And it should
be our object and aim while here to
make the best of it and try and get
what good we can out of it, and strive
to improve ourselves, so when we

receive our liberty we will be better
fitted to take up the struggle for
existence which goes merrily on in all
animated nature. Undoubtedly the
best way to accomplish this object is to
take up some subject for study, and
study it thoroughly.
A young man said to me Labor Day:
"Oh the environment is such! It is as
depressing do not feel as tho 1 could
study" Isay, "hang the environment"
If you only interest yourself deeply
enough in your studies you won't know
for the time being whether you are in
prison cell or palace. But suppose
that your present environment does
hang over you like shadow. The
very fact of its being always with you,
just as sure as Familiarity breeds
contempt" causes you sometimes to
forget all about it, and you actually
feel light hearted and happy. OF
course this feeling is only transitory,
but if you force yourself to look on the
bright side of things you will get more
rays of sunshine yourself. That i'm
mortal poet Goethe had summed up
the whole thing nicely for us in these
two lines:
I'm every progress woe and joy betide
Altho every movement be unsatisfied."

doing this no doubt wishes the reader
to infer that the rest of the column is
good, for that is part of his paper, but
necessity compelled him to fill out the
space so he gave you the best he could
find in the other sheet and let you take
it for what it is worth. One paper
inserted recently as an example of
contemporaneous wit, an account of
man rushing into photographers
studio and threatening the life OF the
owner because he had taken a picture
of his wife that resembled her in
feature. Now VT know that women
love to be fiattered, but they do not
wish their husbands to advertise the
fact. Another humorist attempts to
create smile by informing the reader
of professor who obtained distinction
by the fact that he taught his classes
their lessons and not from any &C.
centricities of his personal character.
The point of this joke was beyond my
power of comprehension.
There have been other examples I
have noticed where the joker has lost
all the common sense he ever had in
endeavoring to impose some absurdity
upon the reader. Surely one with a
talent for wit can find enough foibles
in our eccentricities to aim his shafts
of humor at, without rehashing old,
worn-out jokes that regaled our
ancestors. Humor is the very spice of
life. Without laughter life would be
one long funeral procession, beginning
with the wall of infancy and ending
with the senility of old age.

Vbe isle Of fbc koD@ $50.

Oh, wonderful stream is the River Time,
As it flows through the realm of years,
With faultless rhythm and a musical rhyme,
And broader sweep and surge sublime,
As it blends with the ocean of years.
How the winters are drifting, like flakes of snow
And the summer like buds between;
And the years in the sheaf-so they come and
they go
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and flow,
AS they glide In the shadow and sheen.
There's magical Isle up the River Time,
Where the softest of airs are playing;
There's eloudless sky and a tropical cline.
And voice as sweet as vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are staying.
And the name of this isle is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty and bosoms of snow
There are heaps Of dust, but we love them so!
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.

words of the great philosopher, and
indeed that should be the aim of every
one. The lives of great, wise men of
peace seem to show that it is only to
be attained by taking kindly interest
in our fellow men, and, as we all have
faults and failings, in dealing gently
with their weak foibles the same as we
wish them to look leniently upon our
own. Now in closing it may not be
improper to quote these short verses
from the pen of one of our rising poets,
entitled "The Things That Other People
Do"
"The man who does his best to make the
world better place.
Whose heart is pure, who dares to look his
neighbor in the face.
Is not the one who takes delight in holding up
to view,
And scoffing at the folish things that other
people do.
"The man who wins the noble height, where
fame and honor wat,
Takes no delight in petty spite, he gives no
heed to hate,
For he has little chance to reach the distant
summit, who
Gives up his time to smudging things that
other people do.
81 like the honest man who tries to keen away
from sin,
I like the man who seeks to rise but does no
wrong to win.
But the world is brighter for the day spent in
his presence, who
Can keep from finding fault with things that
other people do"

AMERICAN HUMOR. y
An American Characteristic
That Is Not Always as Funny
as it IL Intended to be.

TIME average American has a
broad sense of humOr, so
broad in fact that foreigners
sojourning among us have
often been perplexed by the wit of our
humorists. A popular wit who went
abroad some years ago was discouraged
by the cOldness of the audiences that
greeted him in England. He asked a
friend why he had not the same success
abroad he enjoyed at home, and the
friend replied that altho the humorist
was just as witty as ever, the audiences
lacked charity.
An American will laugh at your joke
simply because you are trying to amuse
him, but an Englishman will not be
imposed upon with cheap jokes. You
have to be witty to penetrate his
denseness.
Joking is an American characteristic;
we find to every phrase of life a funny
side and even joke with death, the
grimmest joker OF us all. 1t is this
peculiar trait of American character
that the humorists impose upon.
When we see those little dialogues
that the printer thrusts in at the bottom
of column to fill out the space, we
naturally expect to be regaIed by some
thing witty and not disappointed by
some old joke twisted and distorted
into an absurd piece Of nonsense. AS
a rule these little spaces are filled out
with clippings from exchanges and
sometimes the editor seems to have a
special grudge against his contempora-
ries, for he usually mortises in a lot of
ridiculous nonsense. The editor in

The Unspeakab lie
Turk.

IRON present indications it looks
X as if France and Turkey
i were in the immediate presence
of war. In the event of a
contest of arms between these two
nations it is very evident that Turkey
will receive no material or moral
support from the powers, as her re-
putation among them is considerably
below the standard. Her recent history
is too brightly illumined with innumer-
able monumental crimes against the
Armenians for any of them to openly
recognize such an atrocious tyrant, and
her intercourse with foreign diplomats
has been one long tale of procrastina.
ton. If the present crisis ends in war
it is hoped that the sublime porte will
receive such severe punishment as to
knock four generations of cussedness
out of that decaYing and noxious
empire.
For years this cowardly monster he's
committed massacres that have shocked
the whole civilized world for their
extreme cruelty. In almost every
instance the crimes which this alb
normal barbarian has encouraged were
for the purpose of robbery.
In the past the "civilized" powers
have been suave and conciliatory in
their demands to this arch butcher, the
Ghazan Khan of modern times. His
soldiers have been allowed to carry
devastation and death against the help
less and unprotected without so much
as a protest. Since France has taken a
positive step toward collecting her
indemnities, the Turkish government
has spontaneously become a very un-
popular element among the nations.
Each is secretly hoping for open hos
tilities, believing that such procedure
would not only teach the willy Turk a
lasting lesson, but probably be the
entering wedge that would eventually
cause the dismemberment of that
country. Whatever the outcome of
the present differences between the
two nations, Turkey will have ascer-
tanned the paucity of her staunch
friends and how numerous are her
enemies. COMET.

A GEORGIA MAN
Now Great Oil King in California.

Mr.. J. l.. Field, who, is visiting
his. brother, Mr.. j. F. Field, tells
an interesting, story of the discov-
cry of oil in California. which is
more interesting now by the oil
excitement at Beaumont, Texas,
says the Calhoun Times.
"a number of years ago" said
Mr.. Field, IAN old friend of mine
from Canton, Ca, came to Califor-
mia. His name was John Keith
and he asked me for advice. He
said he had about 1000 dollars
and wanted to use it in some
way to make good living. l adj
vlsed him to go down in a flat re-
glon and buy a lot of government
land, which could be had for IS cts.
an acre, and 60 into the sheep
business. He did so, buying a
large tract of land, and in ten
years closed out his sheep business
for over 100000. Then he asked
me what to do with all that land
which did not seem to be worth
the taxes. He offered it for less
than 10 cents an acre but no one
would buy.
81 told him to bore an artesian
we'll on the property and use the
water for alfalfa and other crops,
and then he could sell the lard.
He bored we'll and instead of
getting water he got oil. He sold
off forty acres of land for thou
sand dollars an acre. He bored
four wells and all are yet paying
big dividends. An English syndi-
cate wanted to buy all of Keith s
land. He did not want to sell it..
"They told him to keep his four
wells and set his own price on the
| other lard. He asked them ten
thousand dollars an acre for all
the land and they paid it. Today
Keith is worth over two millions
of dollars and is receiving two
hundred dollars a day from his
four oil wells. Yet he is one of
the plainest men in the country
and lives cheaply. Since Keith
bored his first we'll California has
become great oil country and
many big fortunes have been made
out of it"

Woman suffrage is rejected by
the Connecticut House of Repre-
sentatives, in concurrence with
the Senate, by a vote of more than
two to one, after very full hear
ing of the arguments in favor of
the project. This is worse defeat
than the proposed extension of
the suffrage had in Massachusetts,
at the last test of the matter there.
The general Judgment is plainly
against all further enlargement of
the voting body just now. Oppo-
sltlon seems to grow stronger in
the East as the result of the ex-
periments in Colorado and other
Western States. The American
people are a very conservative
body.

the speech delivered by Mr.. J. X.
Orr before the students of the
chronological school in Atlanta a

terest to all young men. He said {:
That man may starve on a
dozen trades half learned, while

one thoroughly mastered, is the
song that | hope may ring in your
ears, as the daily echo from the
deep bass of your anvil chorus,
the cooling whir of your spindles,
and the music of your looms. /
am going to assume that this, or
some similar inspiration has
brought you here to fit yourself
for some predetermined life work !;
then | am sure you will agree with
me that this sentiment is the kew
tone to the arch of all industrial
education. In every profession,
In every line of business the young
man Is sought out and sought after
Is the one who can do some one
thing better than anyone else, and
for this nothing qualities him like
