The man placed a So bill In his hand
and they went to the barn where the
man hitched up the team and they
started out for the journey. Arriving

The New York City school authori-
ties are just now giving especial atten-
ton to truants. Associate City
Supt. Meleney said to the officers the
other day: "Vigor must be used to-
ward parents. 'Vigor! vigor!" and as
serted that the parents are responsible
for much of the truancy in that city.
The same may be said of parents in
other places and their attention should
never be allowed to be diverted from
the Importance of the matter. Some
are vigilant. some careless and others
show no interest. The growing chill

Human beings live up to our IDEAS of
them. II you require much of man,
the chances are that he will try to meet
that requirement. You pay tribute
to the manhood or womanhood Of an
individual every time you show belief
In him; and since even the lowest has a
spark Of bigness in his nature, he can
not but be touched by that belief, says
the Woman's Home Companion. 1t is,
il you will, a subtle sort Of fiattery to
expect goodness and truth and wisdom
from poor human beings, but 1t is fiat
terry in the right direction; 1t is not sell
fish; it tends to aid the fiattered, and
not the flatterer.
Cynicism and disbelief are, on the
other hand, an invitation to the cow
ardly. They are nothing more than a
condonement Of wrong. To the man
who expects nothing, nothing will be
realized. Do you care to prove to a
man that you are manly IL he sneers at
you for a fool and suspects a darker
motive for your goodness? Not so.
But do you not feel bigger. and better
and fresher when you have come in
contact with a soul who believes in the
inherent good of the race and of you as
an individual?
The lesson is plain. Not only at
tempt to reach a higher mark i'm your
own living, but be one of those cheer
full souls who believe in the people
about them. Require OF your friends
that they act wisely. Show some trust
in there motives. Believe in their vir-
tue and goodness until you have abso-
lutte proof in the other direction. So
will you be giving them a push up the
hill. instead of, like the cynic, contin-
ually dragging them down by the coat
tails. The cynic may tell you that you
are foolish, he may laugh at your inno-
cence; never mind his belief is no mere
philosophy, and it has the added disad-
vantage of not being cheerful. Belief
is positive, disbelief is negative and
positiveness is the most bracing phil

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

After a young man makes up his mind
that he is not genius he stands chance

A woman's idea of good climate is

A woman who won't worry herself at all
over wearing false hair will fret herself

The New States and Flag.

The coming Of the two new stateS'
which, it is expected. will add thei:
stars to Old Glory. during the next ses-
sion. will probably complete the list for
some time. Oklahoma with Indian ter
titory and Arizona with New Mexico
will make up the new states of OKLA
homa and Arizona, with areas and pop
ulation as follows:
Area Popula
So. Miles. ton 1900
Okla hOma -................ 39,uD - o'N DOL
Indian Territory ........ 81, 400 $500

So. Miles. ton 1900
Arizona .................. llJ,o-U l--,Soi

The New York Press says:
Both the territory and population
which thus will add two new stars to
the flag (whose star field is not likely to
be disturbed again) are perhaps as well
fitted to enter the Union as any OF their
neighbOrs at the time of their admis-
sion-surely as we'll qualified as was
Utah. Oklahoma will be almost the
same size as Missouri; will have a pop
ulation bigger than Maine, nearly as
large as Connecticut, and four times
Delawares. Arizona will not be much
on population, for only six states have
less inhabitants than she will have, yet
she can turn up her nose at the mining
camp of Nevada, with her picayune
$4,000 of population; while with her
only by Texas, the largest state of the

When he was on the stand at WASH
ington, President Smith, Of the Utah
hierarchy, admitted that his course in
living with five wives was contrary to
the laws Of the government and the
church, but on Sunday at Salt Lake
City the general conference Of the Lat
ter Day Saints upheld him in his
declaration that he intends to continue
to live with his plural helpmeets.
APOSTLE Lyman remarked: I'VE are
here that we may multiply and re-
plenish the EARTH" and added:
when President Smith stands up
to speak we know that the Lord
speaks through that man." Plainly,
there is a great moral callousness, not
to mention it's accompaniment of in
