palms and feathery green's were clus-

the spicery of orange blossoms. But

GOOD CITIZENHIP.
The, Ideal Can Not Be Set Too
High

High.
Assuming, then, that good citizenship
necessarily implies service of some sort
to the state, the country or the public,
it must be understood, of course, that
such service may vary widely in
amount or in degree. The man and the
woman who have family % children.

and well teaching them to love their
country, are coed citizens and del
serve well of the republic. The man,
who in order to care for his family
and give his children a fair start in life,
labors honestly and diligently at his
trade, profession or business, and who
casts his vote at all elections. adds to
the strength as we'll as to the material
prosperity Of the country, and thus full
fills some Of the primary and most i'm
portant duties of good citizenship. In
deed, it may be said. IN passing, that he
who labors in any way, who has any
intellectual interest, who employs his
leisure hours for any public end-even
the man who works purely for selfish
objects-has one great element of good
citizenship to his credit; for there is
nobody else so detrimental to a country
like OURS as the mere idler. the mere
seeker for Embarrassment, who passes
his time in constant uncertainty as to
how he shall get rid of the next day or
the next hour OF that brief life which,
however short, in some eases Is, from
every point of view. too long for him.
Rearing family, casting a vote, lead
ing decent life and working honestly
for livelihood are, however, primary
and simple questions in meritorious
citizenship. They are the foundation
stones, no doubt, but good citizenship
in it's true sense, rises much higher and
IL
again, it becomes necessary to define
ones meaning and to- get rid Of gen.
eralities. All men Wild do good works
have ideals at VIII they aim, dream
Of what they hope . accomplish, and

defeat. Not failure, but low aim is

is victory, and the life work is nor
barren OF results. This is as true of
citizenship as of any other great field
Of human effort. The ideal cannot be
set too high, provided it is comprised
by common sense and clear reason and
does not topple over into eccentricity
But In order to possess an ideal which
must be at once sane and IOfty, 1t is
essential to have standard and that
standard must be clear and sharply de-
fined, not misty or confused. For ex-
ample. if we wish to teach our children
that loyalty to the nation and to the
union of states is a fundamental quail
ity of any American citizenship worthy
to be called good, we must not set up

eminent, who won all his fame in an
unsuccessful effort to wreck liberty

In selecting chairs and tables, avoid
all such pieces as have widely faring
curves to the legs; they are not only
ugly and ungraceful, but are not sub
stantial and break easily. So likewise
do widely curved chairbaeks. A slight
cure is not undesirable, but pleasing,
and does not necessarily imply weak
ness of construction; a very bold curve
does.
