FORGETFULNEss.

A great deal of harm is done through
forgetfulness. A little thoughtfulness
and care with respect to others would
often save them from a great deal of
suffering, and aid them in their work.
A man is discouraged in consequence
of the difficulties he meets with. An
encouraging word may be all that is
necessary to revive his energies. and to
cause HIM to persevere. That word
were easily spoken There are those
who are perfectly willing to speak it.
but they do not think of IT. They are
busy with their own work. The dis
co1raged ones sink into deeper despon-
dency, not through their heartlessness
but their want of thoughtfulness. A
young man is exposed to temptation.
He is about to take a step from which
little influence of the right kind will
save him. There are numbers among
his acquaintance who could exert
that influence. But they do not see
his danger, or are so busy that they
must leave him to the care of his other
friends. He takes the step, and it
leads to his ruin. A little effort right
~ put forth would have saved him.

There has been no more interesting
feature of the recent military opera
tons in South Africa than the sudden
activity of the Beers in the neighbor-
hood of Kimberley. According to late
dispatches the burghers have been con-
Quoting raiding operations within sew
en- miles of that city, causing at least
some apprehension as to it's safety.
That at this stage of the proceedings.
when the British claim that the war is
practically over, the Beers should be a
source of menace in the very city which
they besieged at the beginning of hos.
tilities must be peculiarly discouraging
to the British public At the same time
come reports of extensive operations
ton between Pretoria and the east of
the TransYaal at points far remote
from Kimberley. If the Boer force is
limited, there would seem to be enough
of it left to admit of carrying on con-
siderable operations at widely distant
places, a fact which may account for
Lord Kitchener's inability to do any
thing decisive. While a decisive vic
tory can hardly be expected in either of
these localities, the very fact that the
burghers are at this time able to oper-
ate quite freely in these neighborhopds
is significant that the war is by no
means over.

THE SOUTH AND THE NEGRO.

A writer in the North American Re
view says that the South now expends
about $40, 100000 annually in school
funds. of which sum the negroes con-
tribute but one-thirtieth, though they
have the opportunity to reap nearly
half the benefit. In the South all
trades are open to them, and they re-
celye every encouragement to become
proficient in the industrial arts. A
large number of negroes have eagerly
taken advantage of these opportunities
and have made unprecedented progress
in lettering their condition in every
way. They have amassed in one State
property, the assessed value which is
nearly $50, 600, 900, and it is estimated
that they own, all told, about $500, 900,
600 worth of personal and real estate.
They have their own doctors, lawyers
and preachers: they have been given
the best schools, colleges and univer-
stiles, and they have their own military
companies. Many of them realize that
their interests are inseparable from the
interests of the South They have
found by experience that the people
who give them employment, who annu-
ally pay millions of dollars that their
children may be educated, who make
1t possible for them to acquire wealth,
who labor side by side with them in the
field and in the factory, are their best
friends.

BEING A BOY.

Charles Dudley Warner, the eminent
author who died recently, once wrote:
Zone of the best things IN the world
to be is boy; it requirers no expert
ence, though it needs some practice to
be good one. The disadvantage of
the position is that it does not last long
enough. 1t is soon over. Just as you
get us to being boy you have to be
something else, with a good deal more
work to do and not half so much fun.
'sAnd yet every boy Is anxious to be
a man, and is very uneasy with the re-
strictions that are put upon him as a
boy. There are so many bright spots
in the life of a farm boy that I some
times think I should like to live the
life over again. I should almost be
willing to be girl if it were not for
tbs chores. There is a great comfort to
a boy in the amount of work he can get
rid of doing. 1t is sometimes astonish-
ing how slow he can go on an errand,
Perhaps he couldn't explain to himself
why, when he is sent to neighbor' s
after yeast, he stops to stone frogs. He
is not exactly cruel, but he wants to
see if he can hit them.

According to trade reports there lis a
decline in the cigarette habit, which
is gratifying. In four years the annual
output in the United States is said to
have fallen off nearly one-fourth 1t
is probable that other elements enter
into this decreased manufacture besides
a diminished consumption. For ex-
ample, many confirmed smokers roll
their own cigarettes. Nevertheless the
gerenal statement accords with obser-
walton. The cigarette is not so conspicu-
Gus an offense as it was a few years
ago. This is a healthy sign. Certain
diseases pass over the community from
tine to time, certain vices, habits, fash
ions, or whatever they may be called,
that do great deal Of moral and phys
zeal harm. The epidemic will rage for
a few years and then abate. The vice
is not eradicated, but it ceases to b..
threatening.

A forcible illustration of the tickle
ness of fair-weather friends comes
from Denver The late United States
Senator Tabor was once worth up
wards of fifteen millions of dollars. He
had friends by the carload and layished
his wealth on them without stint.
Many rich men residing in Denver and
elsewhere got their start from Senator
Tabor. He lost his money and died
poor about two years ago. Neither
wealthy relatives or friends will pay
the funeral bill, and despairing of
other relief, Mrs. Tabor has applied to
the state legislature.

The co-education college is very
pleasant theory for young people whose
chief object in life is to have what
they consider ''good time. They
have the good time, but broken hearts
and ruined lives all too frequently fol-
low. Many instances have appeared
IN print to sustain this contention, but
z-few -keart-to-heart talks with SEQ
eds will disclose much that the papers
cannot print The latest instance of
the eo-educational danger comes from
the big Northwestern University at
Chicago Too much commingIing of
students and staying out late O. nights
on part of the girls has aroused the
faculty, who have just devised set
of stringent rules which will curta1l
the excessive privileges heretofore

The Nicely Decision.

Whatever Interpretation may be
placed upon incidental phases of the
Nicely extradition case. the unanimous
decision of the supreme court on the
main question at bar meets very gen
eral public approval. 1t would have
been a great pity if the federal court
had found that the law of the United
States effectually sheltered one of the
employees of the United States who
had been charged with swindling in
Cuba and had taken refuge in this
country. 1t is, therefore, gratifying
that Nicely is sent back TO Cuba to be
tried under Cuban law and punished as
he may deserve. The court held that
Cuba is foreign territory, our only pur-
pose in the war with Spain being to
free the Cubans from Spanish domina-
ton. The decision was based upon the
act of June 6, 1900, which act was
held TO be constitutional.
There has been much talk, especially
in Washington, of the bearing of this
decision on the status of Porto Rico
and the Philippines. 1t is difficult 10
see how it has any bearing at all
There is no apparent analogy between
the two situations. The United States
took Porto Rico and the Philippines in
the treaty Internationally and with no
ayowal of what it would do with them.
1t did not so much take Cuba from
Spain as it evicted Spain from the is
land. This it did with the distinct
avowal of its intention to turn the is
land over to the Cubans when it was
pacifed. The decision is fully in line
with that avowal and may be taken as
an earnest of the governments purpose
to treat the Cubans in entire good faith.
