It is no discredit to man to have
opposition so long as ha is neither a
lunatic, or q fanatic, says an ex-
change. Many men hesitate to adopt
any course that will call forth the op-
position Of any person because they
do not want enemies. The world IS
full of envious people. Some people
hate man just because he is success
full in business. or occupies promi-
nent position in tile social circles of q
community. People have no animos-
ity toward the quiet, unassuming
man. who offends no one. or gets in
no ones way. It is the man who
jars the other peoples fanatical ideas.
It is the man Of push and energy who
excites envy and hatred aud incurs
enmity and malice in others. Every
man who is fearless in the DISCHARGE
of his obligations in any station in
life has enemies. but blessed be he,
for he is usually the man with prin-
ciple.

One of the greatest crimes any one
can commit, says we'll known writer.
is to rob child OF his school days and
in this sentiment we entirely concur.
Don't keep boy at home to work for
week or a month after school begins
and thus greatly handicap and discour-
age him when he does begin. If there
is anything in tho world that family
can afford to make a sacrifice for 1t is
in the education Of their children.
Money is a good thing but child
does not absolutely need it. A boy is
better off to earn his own money. but
what he needs Is good training and
schooling and there is but one time to
get it-while he is young.

Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1903-07-23

coolie tradesmen in the towns inva-
riably makes the same assertions. To
prove the first he usually quotes the
case of Ram Sal and as evidence of
the latter he tells the story of a
rajah's son who turned coolie for
loves sake.
Thirty years ago Hindoo Of low
caste Ram Sal by name, living in a
plateau town of India, found himself
inextricably in debt to bunnia-a
usurious money lender. He had been
bound in his boyhood for the debt of
his grandfather and after working for
nearly twenty years to clear it he
learned to his distress that instead Of
becoming smaller the obligation had
steadily increased.
Ram Sal saw starvation staring him
self and his family in the face, and
so, when a European, coming to the
village, told of a place across the
"black water" where Hindoo could
earn as much as 25 cents day and
after binding himself to work for eight
years on a plantation would be freed
of both his contract and his debt, Ram
Sal straightway prepared to follow the

The eolfer,s Paradise.

1 ask but little when I'm dead
AS recompense for earthly woes
No golden crown upon my head.
No harp TO weary hands ana toes;
No halo would / wear, indeed,
No purple robe beyond my means
only ask a well rolled mead.
with eighteen holes and putting green's
A caddy with a lynx-like eye,
And wings upon his shoulder tips,
Shall watch me whack the balls, then fly
To follow on their airy trips;
And when l come on gentle wing
He'll hand me then, the watchful soul,
A putter fit for prince or king
That's guaranteed to make the goal.
The tees shall be the sort from which
One drives two hundred yards at least,
While over hurdle, bunker. ditch
The balls shall rise as though of yeast;
The niblick, mashie and the cleek
Shall never miss or make slip,
While only those who Scottish speak
Shall have a card of membership.
Here on this field of perfect strokes
I'll play a winning game with all
who beat me when on earth, the folks
Who say 1 cannot hit the ball;
And best Of all, the games between,
When Ger my nectar l am heard
My triumphs to recount, ween,
Therell not be one to doubt my word.
