On Dangerous Ground.

"Now, bishop, how old do you think
l ann" coyly asked a literary spinster
of a man whose unfailing courtesy was
supplemented by his wit on many oc-
caSions.
my dear lady, that is a hard ques-
ton for man who can scarcely re-
member his own age" said the bishop,
cautiously, "and in your case it is par
ticularly difficult, for you look five
years younger than it seems possible
you can be, when l consider what a
wonderful amount you have accom-
pliShed."

LIFE is A SCHOOL.
BY Rev. Jesse J. KoImos.


Life is a school time, man is the
scholar. The most important thing to
learn in life is how to live The most
difficult of all arts is that of right liv-
ing
Robert Browning in his inspiring
message has compared life to a school
time, a probation, a rehearsal and a
battle.
In life as a school time we are here
to live and learn. The first great les
son we must master in life is to ac-
quire the power to see.
The, power to see gives masterhood
and confidence to men. The difference
between thinker and a clown, be-
tween the hero and a coward. be-
tween the Pauls and Neros, is a differ
ence in vision.

Onse upon a time the legislature OF
Tennessee passed a dog law; and II
provet a very unpopular measure; and
sver since teen legislators have been
horribly afraid Of dog laws II gives
the average member temporary hydro
phobia 70 hear dog bill read. But
the passage Of that old law was IN the
long ago. and times and things and
opinions have changed since then.
We believe il is a mistaken idea that
sensible. well-meanIng. effective dog
law, would be unpopular. We believe,
on the contrary. that the people want
1t. People indulge in dogs because
other people do. One man has a bird
dog because his neighbor has. One
boy has terrier because another boy
has. One woman has pug because
she don't know any better. But
among the people gene1 lily there is
strong sense of justice. and that sense
tells them that the dog is more or less
a nuisance and a menace to one OF the
states hest industries, and must be
regulated and controlled. OF course a
few would make great fuss about it I;
but we believe that big majority OF
the people would sustain dog law,
drastic enough to give rslief. A law
that would put a heavy tax on female
dogs, would not only protect and en-
&C urage the sheep industry. but 1T
would also protect and encourage the
breeding of fine dogs. There should
not only be tax on dogs, but the
owner of a dog should be liable in
damages for any depreciation commit
ted by his dog.

says, why the South is so resentfui

course not. A man so color blind as to

cannot be expected to see the daub he
has made of his work. His Accidency

is to it, He is no more capable or
competent or deserving to be the Presi
dent of the United States, than baoy
King is to rule over one OF the mo-
