DUTIES AND THEIR REWARDS.

Duty is the summary of our
lives and our duties are various.
Each action in our lives should be
performing the many duties
which follow the rights we have
and the privileges we enjoy.
Eeach duty has Its reward. The
reward may precede the duty
or it may follow, but to one be-
longs the other.
Hannis Taylor says: every
right whether of an individual or
society implies a duty. Every
duty implies right" The per-
formance of any duty is the ex-
ercise of the right which it i'm
plies. The words-right, citi-
zen, society, and duty are of the
most intense to well meaning
people. They stand for ideas and
principles of chiefest importance
to the human race.
Duty to self mingles with all
other duties. If we do our duty
to ourselves we have done our
duty to our fellowmen, to our
government and to our God.
Each citizen has the right and
duty to support himself by hon.
orable labor. This right and duty
affect the material interest of the
country-the farms, manufacture
ing plants and the wages of men.
The main duty to self is to equip
ourselves for some necessary and
honorable work in the world; by
training and by acquisition to
protect ourselves against poverty
and distress, and to secure COM
fort of life for those who may be
dependent upon our efforts. In
the discharge of the duty to our
selves we realize that ''life is
real" and we must prepare our
selves to act our part among its
realities. Not alone by books
but by manual training and ac-
tual learning, things and men.
This is our bounden duty to our
selves.
In our duty to fellowmen we
enter into many relations. We
influence them by our ideas OF
right and wrong and by our en-
tire conduct.
Duties to our government are
being much neglected. We, as a
people, constitute our govern
ment of which each individual is
a component part. Each of us,
directly or indirectly make the
laws-directly it a legislator or
indirectly if an elector.
The ownership of property
brings us in direct relation with
the government.
If our sevices are needed by our
state or nation, it is our bounden
duty to take up arms IN her de-
fense. We as citizens are gov
erning and being governed. lti
onr duty to familiarize ourselves
with all governmental, problems.
We should vote for the men who
advocate the principles that we
deem wise. If we ally ourselves
with a political party we should
do so from some other than par
tisan motive. In order to do this
we must realize the fact that each
of us constitute a component part
of the government. We must in
vestigate the various depart
ments of the government and re-
lations our government bears to
other nations, then advocate and
urge such measures as we deem
best for the masses. Our CHIEF
duties as citizens of the United
States is to use our influence to
accomplish what we think just

Mental M ood Of Drinkers.

on the other hand, port tends to exert a
soothing effect: Champagne causes appar-

more slowly and by no means adds to the
feeling of conviviality.
Whisky, brandy and gin have entirely
different effects on the individual. but
Dr. Starr will not undertake to classify
their manifestations with reference to any
large number of persons
The fact of the matter is he cannot do

duces an effect upon the individual who
may absorb them in overdoses that is in
inverse ratio to the sober Temperament Of
the absorber and in diametric opposition
to every rule of psychology that was ever

It is q Deceiver.

Alcohol, whether you call it poison or
not, has something very peculiar in its ma
turei there is about it sweetness and Sc
ductiveness, sort of serpentine spell of
attraction, which gradually draws men on
while they do not know it, and which at
last they find themselves unable to resist.
Coleridge says: evil habit first draws
then drags, and then drives" Or, as an
eminent French writer expresses it, "WeI
are insensibly led to yield without resist
ance to slight temptations which we de-
spise, and gradually we find ourselves in a
perilous situation, or even falling into an
abyss. and then we cry out to God, why
hast Thou made us too weak to rise% and.
in spite of ourselves, voice answers to
our consciences, "If l made thee too weak
by thine own power to rise out of the gulf,
it was because / made thee amply strong
enough never to have fallen into it, Do
not let any of us be so proud as to think
we should be safe. If men of the highest
genius have fallen under this temptation,
If even an Addison. Burns, a Coleridge,
and hundreds of others. were tempted by
the excess of their intellectual work to re-
kindle the vestal flame upon the altar of
genius by the unhallowed fires of alcohol,
for one, will not be the man to abstain
from saying to anyone: Let him that
thinketh he standeth - however superior
ne may think himself from the same pos
sibihty of temptation-still let him be-
ware lest he fall '"-Archdeacon Farrar.

Merely q Lack of Mnnliness,

A drunkard who is told that he is suf-
fering from disease knows deep down in
his own soul that his principal suffering
is a lack of fnanliness. If he has an hon

will is one which might be urged in de-
Tense of all criminal weakness, of all de-
reelection of duty, as well as in defense of
his worse than beastly appetite.
Strictly speaking. drunkenness is not per

urges, but it is the father of many crimes.

An article in a recent issue of the
American Kitchen Magazine is on the
education of children in the use of
money. A paragraph in it relates to
the guardianship by the parents of the
money children accumulate in their
toy banks. 1t was found from answers
to questions sent out to children in the
matter, that almost no child could pre-
serve his bank money from the family
use. 1t was constantly borrowed, at
first paid back scrupulously, then in
sums short Of the original loan, finally
not at all, and the bank was abandoned
Tor time, to be started again with a
repetition Of the experience. Other
children reported also on the manner
In which promises of money payment
were kept by their elders. Various
tasks were set them for which small
sums of money were to ne paid, but
when the weed-digging, stone-picking,
or what not was performed, payment
was forgotten or reduced, or a first
installment given. and the matter
dropped. The writer did not draw the
inference, but one wonders if this atti-
tude, duplicate in very many families,
OF parents toward childrens savings or
earnings, will not perhaps account for
the inherent dislike which the average
person has to business relations with q
