Sheep on the Farm.

Prof. Kennedy, of the Iowa ex-

are 900 kinds Of weeds and grass
es growing in the agricultural
States, and of these sheep eat
$50, horses eat 50, and cattle eat
56' He says sheep relish most
weeds and do well on them, there
fore, every farm of a quarter
section should have at least a
flock OF twenty-five sheep to help
keep down the weeds, and that
small flocks pay their way on
most farms in this way. He adds:

Military Guard for The Gar.

Owing to the recent visit to the
White House of several cranks
one of whom had to be disarmed
by the watchman, there has been
a renewal OF the discussion Of
furnishing the President with a
military guard. 1t is believed
that the members of the Presi-

such measure during the next
session of congress, as the pres
ent secret service men are de-
tailed by the treasury department

are regarded as a kind of make
shift, 1t is pointed out that the
insufficiency of che Presidents

THt BEGINNING OF EVIL.
THE Commoner.)

can learn than that evils are more
easily resisted in the beginning
than after they have been allowed |
to develop. Take, for instance, ,
disobedience to parents. 1t usu-
ally begins in some small matter
when the child feels that the par
ent has required an unnecessary
thing, or refused to permit some-
thing that the child desires to do.
If it were in an important matter
the child would shrink from an
act of di8obedience, but it seems
so small that the wish of the child
triumphs over the will of the
father or mother, and that act of
disobedience becomes the prece-
dent for others until disobedience
is easier than obedience.
Disobedience usually leads to
other offenses; untruthfulness, es-
pecially, is apt to follow in the
wake Of disobedience, being re-
sorted to as a means of avoiding
punishment or even reproof.
From disregard of parental au-
thority it is an easy step to the
disregard Of the authority of gov
ernment, and the disobedient
child not unnaturally develops in
to the Iawless citizen until finally
the downward course leads to the
door of some institution estab-
lished for correction and reform.
Disobedience to authority is more
easily checked when it first be-
gins to manifest itself than after
the habit has grown strong by
indulgence.
So, too, with the liquor habit.
The taste for intoxicating liquor
is far more easily avoided than it
is overcome when once it is es-
tablished. The moderate drinker
has not only to risk the strength
of the liquor habit when it once
gets hold upon him, but if he
drinks at all he must defend his
refusal to drink either on the
ground that he is going to change
his course, thing which implies
an acknowledgement of previous
error, or he must give a reason
that fits the particular ease in
hand. If he drinks with one it is
difficult TO refuse to drink with
others, and if he accepts invita-
tons to drink he must give invi-
tations or seem stingy, There is
less difficulty and more safety,
therefore, in not commencing.
1t is the same with gambling,
and it is hard to conceive of a
more demoralizing vice. If one
CANDLES at all it is not easy to
limit the things gambled for or the
amount wagered. If one bets at
all and refuses to back up his
opinion with money, his opinion
is, in the minds of some, discred-
tied. If he does not bet at all,
that is a sufficient reason why he
should not be called upon to put
up money in support of his opin-
ion on any subject. Then, too,
the gambling habit weakens a
a mans energies. Money won
on a bet or in lottery seems to
be much more easily obtained |
than money secured by industry |
of any kind, and after one has
obtained his living for awhile
from games Of chance he becomes
practically incapacitated for any
legitimate effort, and is not con-
tent with the slow accumulation
that generally accompanies the
ordinary forms of industry. 1t is
the part of wisdom not to gamble |
at all. Where one resolutely re-
fuses to begin he is not worried |
about stopping place. And so
with other evils into which the

The burning of the Lutheran Col

the, loss Of the lives of two students
brings to the front all manner of talk
concerning the protection the pubic
should have. in all OF our public build
ings. including hotels, boarding houses,
and all places where money Is paid
for sleeping accommodation. The
press reports say some CT the stu
dents had ropes in their rooms and
thus saved themselves. An indignant
public asks why should not every col
lege dornlitory and boarding house
over two stories in height be compelled
to be equipped with ropes In each
room. Furthermore, why should not
such places be compelled to have legal
fire escapes. In the case at Jewell
there were fire escapes. but for some
reason the students did use them. This
seems strange, but excitement and
bewilderment at such times Is always
in existence. We have such law con-
corning hotels. but where Is 1t en-
forced? Probably not in 25 cities IN
