making, because of a perverted idea Of
business customs. The girl who starts
out in life with the firm idea that she will
receive drawing room manners from all
men she meets In an office will surely
meet sore disappointment and strew her
path with thorns instead of roses. It is
absurd for you to say that man who
does not extend you society courtesies in
an office is not gentleman. You forget
that in society men and women have
naught to do but be at their best, while
in the hurry Of busy office each man
and woman Is paid for his or her brains,
and not to do "social stunts" Do not,
however, misunderstood me. take it for
granted that every one will show his or
her associates the ordinary courtesies but
to expect your employer or any male
member Of the office staff to open doors
when you have occasion to leave the
room, to arrange the ventilation to suit
you, is expecting too much. The men
with whom you are associated are inter-
ested in their work. consequently cannot
be expected to neglect it to wait upor
you. If you are a wise girl you will
change your tactics, and instead Of
imagining every one intends q slight, &c
about the work assigned you in quiet
business like manner, and you will soor
be so absorbed in your own work that you
will not notice the trif1es Of which yor
complain. The woman who is faithful
self-reliant, reserved and dignified in hel
manners will meet with consideration ir
| the average office, but there is no place
in the business world for the social mar
tyr. To resign one good position afte,
another for no better reason than tha
you insist upon being waited upon and
accorded elaborate courtesy, will soon give
you an undesirable reputation among
business men and you will soon find i
difficult to obtain a position for business
men will not stand such nonsense.

AS a nation we go at things too hard.
We lack g. sense of proportion. When
we stop a thing we stop it all at once.
Take, for instance, the case Of the aver
age college boy who has made a figure
In the athletics Of his class and institu-
ton. What does he do when he has
graduated? How does he set about con-
serving the strength he has accumulated
by his training?
Well, since he leaves college at the be-
ginning of the summer he may possibly
keep up golf and tenrds and rowing and
swimming during the warm weather.
The chances are against his doing any
thing in the way Of systematic training.
If he goes into an office it is more than
likely that he drops nearly everything
in the way Of gymnasium practice or
vigorous physical exercise. He spends
his days at a desk, or it may be behind a
counter. All the trained muscles are
allowed to grow flabby. The over stimu-
lated heart shows the result of the lack
Of exercise. The man begins to break
down and the doctors diagnose his case
as athletes heart"
Everyone knows instances Of this kind
of thing of children who have been in
Jured by too much exercise of boys who
have hurt themselves by too frequent
Indulgence In the joys Of the swimming
pool, Of men and women who have over
done in golf Or tennis or basketball or
field or track athletics In nearly every
instance the trouble may be traced tC
the same source-a lack Of appreciation
of the object Of sports of any kind
They are to be viewed as a means-not
an end. Here and there is found some
one for whom it IS worth while to trair
or play for championship. But ir
the far larger proportion of cases the
playing or the riding is to be taken as
; a means of physical development ant
Improvement Of health. And this object
is defeated If one yields to the tempta.
ton to excess.
This temptation would not have to bt
reckoned with so much if the counsel O.
the trainer would be needed. The physica
director in the college or school or the
gymnasium knows better than to put pu
pills to hard work at once. He begins with
them gently and makes them exercise il
the gymnasium "for form before he put:
them on the track. He discourages oveI
vigorous beginnings, knowing that rapid
beginning means lost time later on. It /.
the eager amateur who does not under
stand his own strength and weakness
who makes trouble for himself by going
at work or play with an energy that il
bound to exhaust his powers at an early
stage Of the proceedings.

Old Style Revived,

It is a poor week that has only one
dress sensation and that Of this week is
the new collar. This collar is revival
Of a former style, and Is christened the
Spanish collar, probably because It is
made so frequently Of Spanish lace.
The Spanish collar Is made in several
forms out of all kinds of lace and is worn
upon every gown under the sun. Moth
ing is exempt from the influence of the
lace collar, whether it be the delicate
gown Of organdie, upon which the lace
collar seems eminently suitable or the
novelty
The collar is often made square brought
around the shoulders and crossed in front.
The ends hang down in two long tabs
below the belt line, and give something
of the old-time look so much desired

The Journal has reason to I

The Journal has reason to feel
gratifiied by the sentiment
shown against the use of liquor in
influencing voters at the recent
election in this county. While we
do not maintain that no liquor was
used for this purpose by some Of
the candidates, for they did uss
large quantities of it, nevertheless,
they were less openly arrogant in
supplying it to the voters, and
were decidedly anxious to shift tire
responsibility W h en- charged
with such practices. Four years
ago from personal observations VIC
found that the practice of using
whiskey to influence voters in local
elections has become an abuse, and
that q man who held himself above
resorting to this means of election
eering stood no show whatever OF
being elected to any Of the NOR,
important county Offices. Aftel
the election of 1900 we began ham
uering at this subject alone ane

apparently without hope of max
ing an impression on the public
mind against this custom. We
were laughed at by practical poll
ticians and dorided by those inter-
ested in the sale of liquor. After
a year or two we began to see tho
effects of our persistence, and now
it is almost as bad for candidate
to 20 into certain parts of the conn-
ty with election whiskey AS it used
to be for him to 90 without it. For
the last year or two we have hasa
able aid from the pastors of the To-
cal churches, both Catholic and
Protestant, in drawing attention to
this evil. We are not through yet.
1t is our purpose to make the con-
ditlons 80. if possible ut all, that a
man may still hold onto his self
respect when he runs for Office in
this county.

That Folk was elected by Repub-
lican votes is evident in the returns.
Roosevelt carried the state by 49,
900 and Folk by $4,000. The lat
ter's campaign was an appeal to
Republicans rather than Demo
Gratis. Before the Democratic
nominating convention, when Folk
was ostensibly fighting the corrupt
state ring he had the moral support
Of Republicans against Democrat
ic ring opposition. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that after he received
the nomination Folk went into a
combination with the ring, many
Republicans believed in the SINGER
ity of his reform pretensions and
voted for him at the general elec.
ton. His success where the rest
of the Democratic state ticket has
fallen by the wayside must thus be
accredited to the sustaining faith
of Republican sentiment. Now

Already howl is going up from
the Democratic press over the pur-
pose the Republican party holds
towards the South. A plank was
put in the Republican platform,
Which has in view the reduction of
representation in tho southern
states, and now that the platform
has received so overwhelming an
endorsement from the people of
the north, where citizenship
goes with taxation, the Democrats
fear that the Republicans will
promptly pass law reducing tho
strength of the Solid South in the
electoral college and in congress.
The Democratic press would make
it appear that such a course is in
spired by sectional hatred and that
the people of the country will not
stand for it. The people will stand
for anything that has honesty in
its purpose, and in reducing the
representations of the south this is all
that enters into the consideration.
Southern Democrats are entitled to
no more voice in cur national gov
ernment than are northern Repub-
licans, that is all the Republican
party is eontending for in this is.
