Pine Smoking.

There are many pipe smokers who do not know how to get the best there is out of their indulgence. The great point i'll pipe smoking Is to smoke slow ly. Nervous smokers smoke too rapidly and burn their tongues with hot smoke, besides failing entirely to get the full. est and best flavor out of the tobacco It is all matter of habit, but slow smoking Is habit which 1t is hard for some people to acquire. In some cases pipe smokers have tried for years to check their smoking speed without success. They began too late, and the habit of rapid smoking is shaken off with difficulty when 1t Is once acquired.
 Rapid smoking is as bad as rapid eating-or worse. It Is also bad form" Whether it Is cigar, pipe or cigarette, the smoking should be deliberate in or der to get the fullest enjoyment It is especially so with a pipe.-New York Press

Jamie! my lad! wrestle hard wid the angels, Oh! pray, love and cry till they on latch the door. An sure don't know they will do it, my darlin'? For God loves his craytures, yes, even a bird: Like the blessin' of heaven, your sweet love, in fallin', Would make 1t all true, what so of ten I've heard Oh! Jamie! forever my voice will be caliin, If not in the wakin your eoul can come near, Oh! come when asleep she tears still are sallin', Lave a kiss on my forehead and whisper I'm here"

The promised edition of The Con-

Young Mans Chances?" by writer's,
prominent in professional and business
circles, is at hand, and it is certainly
most enlightening and elevating collec.
tion of we'll written articles. The in.
troductory article is of special interest
No paper coming under observation of
the Grip during the past few years has
offered and held out the encouragement
to young men as the edition of The
CONSERVATIVE of which mention is
made. Those whose minds may have
become embittered or soured over real
or imaginary woes or who may have
grown pessimistic as the result of read
ing or listening to speeches by men un-
able to achieve prominence or notoriety
in no other way than by working on the
envious feelings inherent to human
nature, we say if such persons will read
the paper referred to, an impression will
be made sufficient to cause rational
thinking, and with the mind in ra-
tional condition the encouragement Of
fered by the experience of those having
achieved success must necessarily in
inspire others to taking advantage of
opportunities for success open in
every field of labor for those possessed
of the ability to see and grasp them.

ABSALOM AND HIS CHANCES.
EDITOR CONSERVATIVE:

Man and His Opportunities" contained
in your issue of the 18th, was most ex
cellent and most instructive, as far as 1t
goes, and am going to publish some of
it in my paper; but you will have no.
ticed, of course, that the avocations re-
ferred to by your contributors were con-
fined to journalism, law, life insurance,
electrical engineering, the ministry,
dentistry, and the railroad business,
with some slight references to strictly
commercial life
Now, as the majority of the young
men of this country are (and are likely
to remain outside of the professions, and
of all the above mentioned activities, in
short, as "the rank and file" of the
young men of the country are certain to
be farmers, mechanics and artisans, and
laborers especially farmers and me-
;hanics), what have you or some of
your able contributors to say for their
encouragement? And they, in my
opinion, are the classes above all others
that need encouragement, and also need
the intelligent advice of thoughtful
men.
The average farmer and the average
mechanic does not have the time or the
opportunity to study out for himself the
future that our rapidly changing indus
trial conditions are likely to open up to
him.
In my Judgment you cannot employ
your brain and your pen in a more use
full manner than in pointing out to the
young men of the country what they
can accomplish, if they will but adjust
themselves to our changing industrial
and economic conditions.
Especially point out to the farmers
boys of the country, who are really the
hope of the country, what they must do
to achieve a greater measure of success
than their fathers have done, or are now
doing. Fraternally yours
