Ones Enemies.

An old adage says that all men are
known by the company they keep.
But men can also be known by the
enemies they make. Every enemy
made marks the man who feels within
himself to do manly things. In the
forceful struggles of life there will be
friction and contest, victor and van
quished.
The man of force does forceful things
in forcible way. Some one is over
come in the struggle and an enemy is
made.
In the moral struggle always being
waged the same thing occurs. Men of
moral force and fibre are continually
opposed to another class who stand for
vice and evil. The contest here is more
sanguinary for it is Truth against
Error, Right against Wrong. In every
community the m oral man of force who
opposes injustice, unveils vice, combats
error, deals mortal wounds and makes
enemies. He is to be loved and revered
for the enemies he has made. He is
the hope of the day in which he lives
as we'll as of the days that are to come
after him.
The man who has no enemies is the
man who does nothing. He stands for
nothing. When forced out of his place
by stronger than he, he is perfectly
satisfied to adjust himself to his new
surroundings. He is barnacle on the
ship of progress. Evil finds in him an
ally and Injustice makes him her
apologist.
But while such man makes no
enemies he makes no friends. His
friendship is a useless commodity. 1t
would be of no benefit to him who
would secure it. One likes forceful
friends, such as can be of use. The man
of force surrounds himself with strong
friends for he in turn can be strong
| friend.
A man need have no fear on account
| of his enemies if such enemies have
been made in the struggle for Right.
They are the mark of man Lock

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not

biliousness, jaundice, constipation and in

and giving such tone and strength to the
glands of the stomach, liver and bowels
that the cause of the trouble is removed

Humility.

The disease known as ''swelled head''
is more common, and thousand times
more fatal, than is dreampt of in the or.
binary philosophy. 1t is "a malady
whichs slays more than are numbered
in the lists of fate"
What is it but a blind and imbicile
self-importance that prompts young
men, who have world of usefulness
and honor before them, to drink in.
toxicating liqurs, to swagger, to talk
fight, to smoke cigarettes and to strut
1t is idiotic vanity.
What induces the coxcomb with the
high color and low brow to ogle at
every female vampire he meets and
Juan and Apollo? Pure standardization.
What leads youth from the sweet and
wholesome paths of useful labor to the
haunts of idleness and sin? Simply
swollen and putrid self admiration.
Humility is a positive virtue. 1t is the
beginning ofwisdom. 1t has been truly
said that it was pride that first changed
angels into devils; it is humility that
makes men as angels. We must stop to
rise. Humility does not mean a grovel-
ing spirit, but is merely the exercise of
prudent care not to overestimate our
selves. Only the humble can be truly
exalted Humility is strength, for it is
recognition of the fact that lofty
character must be built upon solid
foundation.
Plutarch tells us that Epaminodas,
finding himself lifted up on the day of
his public triumph, the next day went
dropping and hanging his head. Being
great detection he made answer: YES
terday felt myself transported with
vain glory, therefore chastise myself
for it to-day"
Before we can amount to anything,
before we can even begin to fit our
selves for creditable citizenship of the
world, we must first realize our insig-
niflcance, and that we can have moth
ing in us that we should ask the world
even to tolerate, much less praise, un-
til we have builded by toll and right
action, and proven ourselves to be men
who can defy the temptations of idle
ness and sensuality as the oak defies
the tempest and the thunderbolt.
The true attitude of youth whose
future promises a glorious manhood of
usefulness and honor to his kind, is to
stand with bowed head, hat in hand,
ready and eager to serve. -Punxsu-
tawney Spirit.
