Ever remark how much better you
feel after good nights sleep? Why not
make your conduct such during the day
that you can sleep at night? Don't fiat
ter yourself; don't excuse yourself when
you are in the wrong. The nearer you
come to doing right the happier you will
be; the better your health, the greater
your success. the better you will sleep.
There is no excuse for telling a false
hood. for gosslpping about neighbor.
for unfairness or dishonesty of any kind.
1t isn't question of principle. or relig-
ion; it is selhshness. You can't afford
intemperance, unfarness or dishonesty,
or backbiting, or cnviousness, or narrow
mindedness, if you want to sleep we'll. A
man who lacks sense is at serious dis
advantage. Cultivate common sense.
You know certain things to be true. Ac-
cept these things as true; don't become a
bore in advocating doctrines that are
ridiculous. Selfshness is as strong in
everyone. almost as love of life. Selfish
ness says, Behave yourself. Be fair,
and generous, and industrious. and tenn
Perate. Such course will prove con-
ducive to health. reputation, to every
thing worth while. 1t will help you to
sound sleep at night" Look at the
wretches you see every day who have
been caught in a falsehood: who have
talked too much. When you go to bed
and think over the follies of the day you
begin to toss. You won't toss so much at
night if you have been modest, fair and
industrious during the day.

There was nothing underlying the con-
duct of Tracy save unredeemed Grimm
ality, says the St. Paul Globe. He had
constituted himself the armed foe of civil
order, he had challenged the ascendancy
of human responsibility in the conduct
of life, and he has paid the penalty.
There was no time when his escape from
the consequences of his crime was pos
sibility. No blood-stained Paria such as
he, without single redeeming charac-
teristic, could have pursued his wanton
career in the prevailing condition OF hui
man advancement withou. constituting
himself sooner or later the author of his
own undoing, Peaceful men are often
disposed to make light OF the sacrifices
which their representatives in public sta
ton make on their behalf. The career
of Tracy shows, as has been so often
shown before, that the officers of Amer
lean law are true to their trusts, and that
no danger can appall and no difficulties
can discourage them in the fulillment
of their obligations to those they repre-
sent. The men whose devotion to duty
resulted in the death of this desperate,
as well as those whose efforts in the same
behalf were unsuccessful, have rendered
a service to American society the value
OF which is literally beyond estimation.

An editor recently announced that for
just one issue he would tell the truth, the
whole truth, naked and unvarnished
That is, the truth was to be naked and
unvarnished. Here is one item from that
issue: "Married-Miss Sylvia Smith to
Mr.. James Carnahan, last Saturday at the
Baptist parsonage. The bride is a very
ordinary girl about town who doesn't
know any more than rabbit about cook
ing. and never helped her poor old moth
er three days in her life. She is not
beauty by long shot, and has gait
like fat duck. The groom is known as
an up-to.date loafer and has been living
off his mother all his life, and don't
amount to anything nohow. They will
have tough time of it, and we withhold
congratulations. for we don't believe any
good can come from such marriage"

take: in lamentable number of cases
he is worrying over the good time his
widow will have with his life insurance.

chill creeping over him. 1t was given
him. and the watchers with amazement

them burn. and then sink smilingly back

good time after he was gone.

There never was 4 time in all the world

There never was time in all the world
more important than the present Man
is just now emerging into the state of
larger realms of usefulness. In ages
that are past he has been struggling
along in comparative darkness, but now
the ray of light is thrown on and he can
see far into the future. New worlds of
usefulness are open before him, and he
can move out into the realms of greater
things. In the natural world new dis
coveries are being made; in the intellect,
ual world new standards are being set
and so in the moral world. There are
moral forces that are working at all times
for the advancement of the human race
and it is possible for all men to have a
part in the great forward movement
Men have sought to make world of
their own conceptions. and to draw from
their own minds all the material which
they employed; but, ifinstead of doing so
they had consulted experience and OBJ
servation. they would have had facts. 1t
takes mind that both searches itself
and the elements of nature to establish
facts. To be we'll rounded up man it
is necessary to search ones self as well
as nature. We build character only by
investigating our own minds and seeing
wherein we have opportunity for i'm
provement. We should be ready to
form conceptions OF the grander things
of life and this can only be done by
searching nature and ourselves. The
leading men of the world have always
been of that type of manhood which goes
to make up large souled person. They
are able to grasp the situation and when
once grasped they hold on with deter
mination to succeed no matter what the
cost. 1t is they that endure that receive
the reward. No matter what our condi-
ton in life may be, we are bound to meet
with obstacles IN the way and unless we
are prepared by a strong determination
to overcome all such we can never ex-
pect to succeed. Most of our great men
have come up from the humble walks of
life and it has only been through their
determination to overcome, that they
have reached their high places of dis
tinction. 1t is not possible for every
man to gain political influence or nation
al fame. but it is possible for everyone to
reach stage where his actions and life
will count for something in ennobling and
enriching the lives of others.
