1t was not the flash of the Gen.
erals sword that struck terror to
the Yankee hearts. It was the
rebel yell and the crack of the
private's rifles. They were the
mon who kept the Yankees off the
Generals while they slept. They
fought not for conquest, but for
principles and sentiment, backed
by the bravest, truest women that
ever lived.-Private John Allen.

Henry Van Dyke: Remember that
charity thinketh no evil, much less
repeats it. There are two good rules
which ought to be written on every
heart: Never believe anything bad
about anybody unless you positively
know it is true; never tell even that
unless you feel that it is absolutely
necessary and that God is listening
while you tell it.

Tell Him So.

If you have a word of cheer
That may light the pathway drear
OF brother pilgrim here,
Let him know.
Show him you appreciate
What he does; and do not wait
Till the heavy hand of Fate
Lays him low.
If your heart contains thought
That will brighter make his lot,
Then, in mercy, hide it not;
Tell him so.
Bide not till the end of all
Carries him beyond recall,
When beside his sable pail,
To avow
Your affection and acclaim
To do honor to his name
And to place the wreath Of fame
On his brow.
Rather speak to him today;
For the things you have to say
May assist him on his way;
Tell him now.
Life is hard enough, at best;
But the love that is expressed
Makes it seem a pathway blest
To our feet;
And the troubles that we share
Seem the easier to bear,
Smile upon your neighbours care,
As you greet.
Rough and stony are our ways;
Dark and dreary are our days;
But another's love and praise
Make them sweet.
Wait not till your friend is dead
Ere your compliments are said;
For the spirit that has ned,
If it know,
Does not need to speed it on
Our poor praise where it has gone
Loves eternal golden dawn
Is aglow.
But unto our brother here
That poor praise is very dear,
II you've any word of cheer
Tell him so.

Victor Hugo says, "The book is
the man in his moral or immoral es-
sence," and many a man has been
ruined in character and life, and
finally lost forever, through the in
fuence of vicious literature. In that
remarkable book, Letters from
Hell,' the author says that when he
reached the world of the lost he first
found those who had written bad
books and then those who had read
them.

Congress could in single day
raise the wages-or raise the pur-
chasing power of the wages,
which is quite as well-of every
workingman in the United States
by lowering the tariff wall behind
which the beef trust, the sugar
trust, the coal trust, and the rest
make their gains by charging
"what the traffic will BEAR
Fussing with the trusts in the

The purpose of all trusts, al
though they may operate in diff
ferent ways, is the same. It is to
secure and maintain absolute
control over production and trans
portation. This puts the consumer
at their mercy and that mercy is
ruled by the size of their divi-
dends. Self-interest and the love
of power, part of the inner nature
of mankind, naturally leads the
trust to oppression and wrong
doing. Sooner or later they must
go the way of all who practice
and enforce absolutism.
