SOME SOUND SENSE.

Charles r. Flint, the great New
York importer, in contributing to
the New York American s sympo.
stun, Success, and How to Solve
It," gives utterance to some very
wise sayings, a few of which are
here given
In writing of the problem of
success for young men the ten
dency is TO write of men of re-
markable capacity, to regard
money accumulation as the meas
ure o. success. But "happiness
is the cheif end of man." and a
happy man is successful man.
Health is essential to success.
This is generally recognized,
but it is the rare exception even
among the intelligent that those
possessing good health conserve
it. They do not fully appreciate
good health until they have lost
it. Our ills generally result from
neglect and lndiscretion.

IRELANp's FRIGHTENING SKY.

The Governments have a splen-
did opportunity for the settle
ment of the great Irish question,
if only they have sense and spirit
enough to accept the report of
the landlords and tenants con.
ference as the basis of the meas
ure, which they have promised to
introduce in the coming session,
says Justin Mccarthy in the In.
dependent. Should they lose the
opportunity then chaos will have
come again so far as Ireland is
concerned. Thus far the auguries
seem hopeful. The influence of
Sir Anthony Macdonald, the pew
permanent Under Secretary for
ireland, is already showing hlm-
self in Irish administration. The
political prisoners in Ireland have
all been released, and at the mo-
ment when ! was writing the
whole system of coercion seems
to have given up by the authori-
ties of Dublin Castle. There is
the best reason to believe that
King Edward is most favorably
and wisely disposed toward the
genuine paciflcation of ireland,
and that he is ANXIOUS TO make a
better order of things in that
long oppressed country the crea.
tion and the noble monument OF
his reign.

habit. !" In the Olympian games il
was not the strongest naturally
who gained the prizes, but those
who, after having prepared for
the contests, actually entered the
lists as combatauts; and so, he
beautifully and convlncingly says,
it is in the moral and intellectual
world; they who constantly act
Alright are those who attain to the
noble and good in life"
From these considerations he
deduced the conclusion that vir-
tue is a definite habit of mind"
which results from the constant
repetition of good deeds, and that
the impulse toward the right ac.
tion is directed by intelligent and
high minded effort. This is the
regulation of the natural impulses
of man so as to direct them into
the right channels and keepthem
there through the force of habit.
The cultivation of the habit of
detesting all that is low and mean
the habit of admiring sincerely
the good and the beautiful: and
undertaking attachment to truth
and justice, and the sincere effort
to bring our conduct into accord
with these ideals, constitute the
rigid discipline of the moral phil
osophy so beautiful that "without
it no condition of life is tolerable
and with 1t none wretched, sor.
did and mean"
An obvious fact about habit fire.
quently noted is, that though we
gain no pleasure from doing a
thing, yet we suffer great discom-
fort for not doing it. And so
great is the force of habit that
this is applicable to good, bad or
practices. The forma-
tion of habit becomes a great
tyranny il the habit be bad, and,
on the other hand, a great prop
to virtue if the habit be good and
desirable. Amiel has an aphor.
ism: at is not what he has or
even what he does which express
ses the worth of man, but what
he is;" and the man stands re-
vealed absolutely by his physical
and moral habits.

= Have Il Santa Claus Face.
HOW TO DO III.

If there is one thing more than all
others that will give man forlorn
and friendless appearance and make
him morbid and -"cranky' and dis
agreeable. that thing is dyspepsia: 1t
makes one forget his friends and be-
come morose and irritable. He Is so
wrapped up in his own misery that he
is incOnsiderate of everyone else. Re
lieved of this terrible and depressing g
ailment he again becomes good fell
low and man among men.
Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets are be-
yond question the most effective and
popular remedy ever offered to the
sufferers of this terrible disease. The
thousands and thousands Of cures
they have brought about and the
enormous increase of their sales fully
attest the truth of this statement.
They are, above all, natural rem
edy. They possess exactly the same
properties that the gastric juices and
other digestive fluids Of the stomach
possess and they actually do the di-
gestive work of the stomach and en-
able that organ to rest and recuperate
and become sound and we'll. They act
In mild. natural manner and cause
no disturbance in the digestive or
gans. They prevent any fermenta-
ton Of the food which causes sour
stomach. In fact, under their inteu-
ence the subject forgets that he has
stomach ana MS resulting CNeerIul-
ness presents a great contrast to his
former detection. t-
Millions of boxes of Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets are sold annually and
they are but in the dawn Of their pop
ularity. Every mail brings letters OF
Thanksgiving from grateful ones who
have been cured Of this terrible dis
ease. The following is one of hun
dreds received each week:
Rev. ]. r. Hoag of Wymore, Neb.
writes: For six years I have been
troubled with dyspepsia. Last fall ]
became very much alarmed at some
symptoms of heart trouble and came
to believe there was a sympathetic re-
Iation between the two diseases, or
rather that the stomach trouble was
the cause Of the heart disturbances
J hit upon Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
for a remedy and invested dollar
and a half for three boxes, which
lasted me three months, and I car
eat any kind of food I want and have
good, vigorous appetite. Although
I am II years old. I now feel perfect

FRIEND, CROSBY co.

South st. Paul, Dec. 24.-With light
receipts the past six days the ten
dency has been very bullish, this
backed by extra strong. feeling in
the country that this stock is going
higher, on account Of the expected
war in the far east. To-day the mar
ket here was a big 5 centsg higher,
There was nothing choice on sale. The
lightweights are selling down at the
low end, with less advance noticed on
this class. We look for a good,
strong market the coming week, un-
less reavy receipts come in which is
not probable, altho there are plenty
of hogs in the country.
AS anticipated in last weeks let
ter, trading on stockers and feeders
less heavy receipts come in, which is
ceipts have been light and prices
have held in about the same place.
: There have been very few country
buyers here, and yard traders were
not overly anxious to- load up. q This
made trading q little slow.
We look for a light run next week,
but expect change in, the market
until after the first of the year.
Receipts of beef and butcher stuff
have been very light and prices have
ruled strong all week. The fore part of
the week there were quite a few COM
mon half fat st\ers here weighing
from LOO to 1,AO0 pounds, which
sold from 1925 to $3.50. Bulls are
stronger. Veals are steady, tops sell
ing around &C.
No change noted in milch COWS and
springers, and we look for none until
after the holidays.
Sheep-Owing to liberal receipts on
Monday, and the holiday demand for
poultry, sheep and lambs have weak
ened off from our last report from 10c
to Csc. The trade the last three days
has been slow and weak, but we look
for a better feeling after Christmas.
