THE POWER OF THE GUARDED
TONGUE.

What are you talking about in your
honest
What is the burden of your conversation
day after day, in the presence of your
children and In association with your
neighborsi
Whatever the nature of your thought
and your words it is helping to decide
your future and the future of your child
rem.
If you are talking gossip, and scandal
and criticising all your associates, and
suspecting your neighbors of wrongdoing,
you are creating conditions of discord and
trouble for yourself and your descendants.
Years to come you will be wondering
why Fate should treat you so badly-why
you and yours should always be in trouble
of some kind-why people should turn
against you and disparage you.
1t will be hard for you to understand
that you are reaping what you sowed-
that the daily conversation and gossip at
your table and Preside furnished the seed
for all this crop Of tares and thistles.
Every thought we send out is magnet,
and attracts other thoughts like ITSELF
We often wait years before feeling the re-
suit, and by the time it comes we have
forgotten the kind of thought we sent
forth. But it is indestructible, and no
thing can hinder it from performing its
GRAND.
The neighbors you criticise to-day may
not criticise you in return; the people you
are kind to may be ungrateful, but as You
live other people will repay both the cri-
ticism and the kindness in the same coin
as years 60 by.
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1902-08-09

Besides this, you are to-day, every hour
in the day, creating conditions for whole
community of people, if you are allowing
your childron to hear your conversation.
A chld's mind is wax, and it is shaped
by its associations.
If you talk about hatred and revenge, of
getting even" and paying debts, if anger
fill your thoughts, the child is going to
cultivate those brain cells, and may some
day figure as criminal. Anger and re-
venge lead to crime, to the most awful of
mes-manslaughter. An uncontrolled
temper and an uncontrolled tongue are
dangerous to the peace ef a community.
If you are inclined to ridicule and make
fun of your neighbors, your children will
follow in your footsteps and create enc
mics wherever they go.
On the contrary, if you look for the best
quality in every one and speak OF 1t, II
you train yourself to rejoice at the good
luck of others, and to be sorry for their
misfortunes, you are creating friends for
yourself and your descendants. You are
setting in motion those most powerful vi
brations of Love which will bless you and
those with whom you associate as yon
pass along life's highway.
Besides this, you are creating success
for yourself. Everybody will like you and
be glad to do you good turn; friends will
spring up for you in unexpected places,
and when you do encounter an enemy he
will be powerless to harm you, for love
and goodwill are a spiritual bodyguard
who walk beside those who invite them,
and protect them from all evil.
You can give your children no greater
endowment than to teach them to think,
ak and act love for humanity. Not only
are you influencing their lives for good,
but the lives of their future husbands,
wives and children.
Therefore be careful what you talk
about, and what you think about, rs you
close your doors to the outer world and
gather together in the family circle.-Ei0

known as the National League Of
Republican Clubs has invited Mr..
Roosevelt to address it at it's con-
vention this autumn. If the presi-
dent does not wish to be mobbed

Nature is memorable, but art is
plastic. Some time ago John d.
Rockefeller's hair, eyebrows and
mustache fell out, leaving him
dead ringer for the Idle Apprentice
in the last picture of the Hogarth-
ian series. 1t was of course very
distressing to this good man, for
he could not explain how it all
came about; and this is terrible
world, you know. He could only
call it alopecia areata, under the
advice of his physicians, and let
it 90 at that. But art and science
have not been obdurate, and by
paying roundly for it, Mr.. Rookie
Teller has now a new growth of
sickly, consumptive-looking hair,
and he may yet be able to appear
again in public.

awe had primary here two

must be bowlegged in the eyes and
ock-eyed in the legs. 1t actually
left more sores behind than any

1t came near splitting the party
wide open, and the congressional

MINNEAPOLIS.

Minneapolis Tuesday was the last day
for the September deal in wheat and up to
1880 a. m. there was not 'whimper
from either short or long. The December
ened shortly after, losing Ac from Mon
days close, and there they remained for
nearly an hour. It is true, however, that
May gained 1sc by II o'clock Trading
markets course it is hard to divine wheth-
er the crowd are bulls or bears. AS a
matter of fact the trade here was watch
ing the finale of the September deal In
Chicago, the price touched 90c there and
dropped &c shortly after. with the pros
pect in view that the highest had been
touched. There is much relief expressed
on all sides, but it is still a question
again put themselves in tight place for
December. Receipts will have to increase
very largely in order to let them out of the
hole. Tight money is having an influence
not looked for and on this the bears on
wheat values put their faith. This condi-
ton, however, may be eaSed at any mo-
ment, and then where would the short
.ebe at?" The cash trade done Monday
was liberal, 100000 bushels being taken at
Duluth C. l. f. for Buffalo, and Ga 900 bush
els for export direct. Exporters took $780,
900 bushels at the seabord Monday and the
inquiry was good again Tuesday. About
1870 a. m. Bradstreets report of the Wis
ibIe was received. 1t was expected that
the increase for the week would be large,
but nobody expected to see S,l0l ,O00 buSh-
els. The increase on passage and Euro
pean stocks was what was expected A.
400, 600 bushels, but the east Of the Rock
ies showing 1901, 900 bushels was not ex-
peeted. This large increase is largely
due, no doubt, to accumulations at Mani
toba points, which Bradstreet's takes cog
nizance of, while 1t Is left out in the Of
fetal visible. Prices, however, are con-
sidered low enough and no matter what
the current Accommodations may be it Is
felt that there is no need for sacrifice.
During the noon hour the market was a
little stronger in tone, the majority feel
ing that the price was too low for agrees
sive selling Clearances for the day were
446, 600 bushels wheat and flour. New
York reported only twenty loads taken for
