A STAINING DIET.

These are the enervating days, when,
as somebody has said, men drop by
the sunstroke as if the Day of Fire
had dawned. They are fraugLt with
danger to people whose systems are
poorly sustained; and this leads us to
say, in the interest of the less robust
of our readers, that the full effect of
Hoods Sarsaparilla is such as to sug-
gest the propriety Of calling this medi-
cine something besides blood purifier
AMI tonic,-say, sustaing diet. 1t

assures refreshing sleep, and will
without any doubt avert much sick.

Oh, the pungent, keen aroma

A KISS.
BY D. E. w.
The heavy ldd.d night slow sunk
Into her coud-wrapped bed. The bold wind drunk
With rapture, sought the lip
Of nesting bud to sip
The wondrous sweetness
The lily to the rose crept nigh
As from the solitude, sigh
Half mournfu half Of hope
The crystal Of the moments brok,
With half -hushed tenderness
GhOst-ke q blissful human heart
Pressed the lulled ether And part
OF its wild life touched the fair
Wide stretch of earth and air
With god-like rapture.
The beauty of the night forget.
The breath OF rose and violet
Heed not. For sweeter far than bliss
OF crimson rose or fair souled lily kiss
Is touch OF human lips that love.

Have You Thought

What a spectacle the new cement
walks present early Sunday morn
ings? When ladies attired in their
best are compelled to walk to Sab
bath School and church through the
filth and mire of tobacco juice they
almost sigh for the old board walks
where peanut shells and dust can
sift through the cracks. Such things
ought not to exist with a splendid
water system; the walks should be
as clean as our hall floors. A few
minutes work after business hours
Saturday night or Sunday morning
would remedy this evil. Then young
men might think Of the dignity of
manhood and give few object les
sons to those who have been neg
lected in the early training of clean
Illness and have the decency to step
to the edge Of the walk to expector-
ate, or as Roosevelt says ''spit,"
perhaps the latter word might be
the more easily understood by
who indulge in such vile practices.

somewhat obscure, but it is the
starting point that leads to destiny.
Better to find the niche and dig for
the prizes, than to squander time in
a vain effort to harness a star.
The people who win in this world
are the people whose feet are on the
ground twelve months in the year.
There are two extremes that rep
resent elements of weakness and
cause failnre. One is over conf
dence, that is tinctured with con-
ceit, the other is lack Of confidence
in personal ability.
1t is broad step from commence
ment day in the school, to the real
commencement day in active life.
1t means personal responsibility in
larger degree. There is no in
structor to record progress or note
failure and there is nothing to an
ticpate in the way of applause.
The thoughtful mind soon dis
covers that the application of knowl-
edge, in practical ways, is demand
ed in every department of toll and
that every faculty of both mind
and body is expected to contribute.
1t is the first real demand made
on self-reliance. The Letter to
Garcia" is to be carried and if the
boy hestitates and turns away from
the responsibility, he commences
life handicapped, in a way that will
retard progress for years to come.
The world is long on people who
depend on the brain and capital Of
other people to keep them in mo-
ton, but 1t is short of men and
women who possess the self-reli-
ance to put in practice knowledge
acquired.

A man may have theories about
raising tobacco, and theories may
be founded on the best authorities
on tobacco culture, but the farmers
boy, who never entertained a
theory, will double discount him on
the first crop.
The principle holds good in the
commercial and industrial world,
and is one of the practical lessons Of
every day experience.
The age at which a young man
enters the great university, is not
so important as the attitude as
sumed. Other things being equal
the diploma, may be a source Of
strength and rapid advancement,
but it all depends upon the entry.
No man ever masters business
by commencing in the middle and
working both ways. The door of
successful entry is at the bottom
and the first stages of the journey
are never made in a palace car.
The June graduates in this year
of our Lord, nineteen hundred and
three, will do well to remember that
the education of life is ahead of
them. If they are willing to enter
the primary department and i'm
prove the opportunities that pre-
sent; their advancement will be
permanent and rapid.
The two extremes that repre-
sent the worlds busy activities
will create no great commotion and
they will not be called upon for
very much in the way of advice,
but there is a niche for every one of
them.
It may be close to the ground and

SATURDAY is FLAG DAY,
Anniversary of the Adoption OF the
Good Old Stars and Stripes.

Next Saturday will be Flay Day,
the anniversary of that memorable
fourteenth Of June, 1777, when
Congress enacted: "That the flag
of the thirteen United States be
thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white; that the union be thirteen
stars, white in blue field, represent
ing a new constellation"
Since that time the beautiful ban
ner of liberty has acquired new
meaning and a deeper sanctity fro m
each baptism of blood which it has
received. In 1897 the American
Flag association was formed of Flag
committees from veteran, military,
patriotic and historical societies and
also of patriotic citizens, the object
of the association being to promote
reverence for and prevent the desc
Grafton of the stars and stripes.
This association urges a general
observance of flag day. The plan
is to have the flag fly from sunrise
to sunset on every church, school
and public building and from every
private dwelling throughout the en-
tire land. The extension of the prac-
tice of holding appropriate exercises
in the schools is urged and every citi-
zen is requested to take part in the
days celebration.

Farmers Institutes For 1oo3-Ioo4.

Any farmer or public-spirited
business man in Wisconsin who

small or far from the railroad, is
entitled to an Institute, provided it
