MERIT SHOULD WIN STATION.

In his speech at Syracuse Monday President Roosevelt
uttered sentiment which simplicity and comprehens
iveness is entitled to rank with the greatest public utter
ances OF our times In speaking of the and
heahfulness of the American social he said: 1--WE
keep our social system what should be only on con-
dition of judging each man. member of class,
but on his own worth man. 1t is an Infamous thing
in our American fe and fundamentally treacherous to
our institutions apply any test save that of
his personal worth between two sects OF men
any distinction save distinction of conduct the dis
finction that marks off those do well and wisely
from those who do i'll and foolishly."
In the above sentiment the entire essence and life
principle Of democracy fully contained that the stu
dent can fix himself upon and build fabric of popular
that will stand at of his ideals
In if is an impeachment of the growing tendency of the
times towards an idea that social environment
should have privileges under government not open
to people who have neither stands for the citizen who
is the architect Of character rather than the c
zen who inherts it, and reflects the char
acter of others 1t stands Roosevelt for personal
worth making no distinction between citizens except the
distinction of conduct.
The keynote of the speech is this that the American
government for the rch or the poor but for all
This was the of the fathers who in making docu
pcent declaring all men free and equal sane

for century and quarter which one has had the
audacity to refute until recently that citizen may as

very nearly So President Roosevelt stands by the old
fashioned idea Of the promotion aptest and
reason why humbest should not become the most
allied it, by his merit by his superiority of character,
he can prove his fitness for that station.
It is well to hear man OF President Roosevelts polit

A Lovable Old Woman.

You sometimes see a woman whose old
age is as exquisite as was the perfect
bloom Of her youth. You wonder how
this has come about; you wonder how it
is her life has been a long and happy
one. Here are some Of the reasons:
She knew how to forget disagreeable
things.
She kept her nerves we'll IN hand and
lnHlcted them on no one.
She mastered the art of saving Meas
ant things.
She did not expect too much from her
friends
She made whatever work came to her
congenial.
She relieved the miserable and sympa-
thlZed with the SorroWful.
She retained her illusions and did not
believe all the world wicked and un-
kind.
She never forgot that kind words and
a smile cost nothing, but are priceless
treasures to the discouraged.
She did unto others as she would
be done by, and now that old age has
come to her and there is halo of white
hair about her head, she is loved and
considered. This is the secret of long
life and happy Richmond Palla-
dunn.

The boy who remembers such exper

similar kind, has no words to express his
enjoyment of it all. He is never alone
at such times. The frolc of the after
noon was so delightful that these special
boys whom | knew forgot even their
supper time, and thought of home only
when twilight fell around them and the
moon sailed up into the steely blue sky.
Then, indeed, the snow looked like a

in the hillside pasture resembled flock

St. Saturday.

Oh. Friday night s the queen of nights, be-
cause it ushers in
The Feast of good st. Saturday, when
studying is sin,
When studying is sin, boys, and we may
go to play
Not only in the afternoon, but all the live
long day.
ST. Saturday-so legends say-lived in the
ages when
The use of leisure still was known and eur
rent among men;
Full seldom and full slow he toiled and
even as he wrought
He'd sit him down and rest awhile, i'm
n!ersed in pious thought.
He loved to fold his good old arms, to cross
his good old knees.
And in famous elbow-chair for hours he d
take his ease;
He had word for old and young, and
when the village boys
Came out to play, he ID smile on them and
never mind the noise.
SO when his time came honest man. the
neighbors all declared
That one OF keener intellect could better
have been spared:
BY young and old his loss was mourned in
cottage and in hall.
For If he d done them little good, he d
done no harm at all.
In time they made saint of him, and is
sued i decree
Since be had loved his case so well, and
been so glad TO see
The children trolic round him and to smile
upon their play
That school boys for his sake should have Il
weekly holiday.
They gave his name unto the day. that as
the years roll by
His memory might still be green; and that s
the reason why
We speak his name with gratitude and
oftener by far
Than that of any other saint in all the cal
endar.
Then, lads and assies, great and small,
give ear to what | say
Refrain from work on Saturdays as strictly
as you may;
So shall the saint your patron be and pros
per all you do
And when examinations come he'll see you
safely through.
