Profanity.

Que of the most disgusting and
= valcnt vices which is growing
to altrning proper tious, and
TNll', IN oar opinion is the duty
ii very journalist to help sup.
press, is that of profanlty-mean.
lngless, vulgar profanity. It's use
is confined to no age, sex, or pos
ition. 1t pollutes alike the con-
versation of youthful strength
and decrepit old age. In the high
ways and byways, the counting
and workshop, and too often in
the social and family circle the
ear is dinued by conversation in
terlarded with profanity which
neither dignities, emphasizes nor
embellishes. The STRIPPING vles
with the man of business in the
interjectiOn Of his oaths, and long
before he reaches mans estate
has acquired a detestable habit
which becomes second nature,
and has secured his proficiency
as II professional swearer for the
term of his natural life; so that
go where he may his foul mouth
carries the contagion, and be-
comes a veritable cesspool of
slime-a standing menace to the
welfare of society.
Leaving moral or religious con.
siderations entirely out of the
question, is it not time that this
abominable, ungentlemanly prac-
tice was abandoned, aud can the
press yet fulfil a uObler mission
than make it's influence felt IN aid
of it's suppression? The vernac-
ular of the blackguard, under all
circums stances reprehensible, is
especially out of place in the fam.
lily circle, business or social con-
versation or friendly greeting;
and yet the practice referred to
prevails to greater or less ex-
tent ~ all of them. 1t is nigh
time TO call halt, to put the pen
atty of social ostracism on the in.
dlvidual who INDUCES in it. Pc
culiarly apropos in this connec-
ton are The lines of Cowper:
Maintain your rank, vulgarity de-
spise,
To swear is neither brave, polite
nor wise.

The Secret OF Success.

There is no secret in success in
business. There is no patent
copyright on means and methods
for making success of any
man S calling. There are, how
ever, conditions which have to be
considered. If these are over
looked the penalty has to be paid,
which, as rule means failure.
Industry, frugality and strict at
tention to business are generally
considered the three essential
elements that lead to success.
There are men who seem to com
bine all three of these attributes
and are still struggling to make
ends meet. Generally such men
fall short in one essential, viz: :
Good Judgment. No matter how
industrious or frugal or how
wrapped up IN his work man
may be, he must be able TO size
up situations, to do the right
thing at the proper time, to meet
emergencies and to drive a bar
gain or at least keep the other
fellow from getting the best of
him in a bargain. This desirable
qualification can be acquired by
carefully studying the methods
of those who are successful, by
reading after those who have
brought success about IN certain
lines and by cultivating broader
ideas in every direction. 1t may
be hard matter for some to ac-
complish, but the difference be-
tween success and failure will
more than pay for the time and
trouble it takes.

Mr.. Editor, the Moiave Desert
is the most lonely place that l
have ever been in. Imagine, if
you can, bit of country, two
thirds as big as Pennsylvania,
and rougher topographicly, al
most entirely barren. A few cac-
tus plants. a little greasewood,
and sand and rocks-rocks and
sand, and still more sand-sand
so deep and thirsty, that it drinks
up rivers IN just few miles from
where they leave the mountains
and try to cross the plains; aud
still you find the Desert has con
siderable of population scatter
ed through it in mining camps
and small towns, all depending
upon the minerals that they find
for living. Some make their
fortunes, others living, and not
a few leave their bones to bleach
on the desert. They went a lit
tie too far, ran out of water, or a
sand storm overlook them, that
is all. They use some pretty
big teams on the desert-20
mules to two wagons and one
water tank is hauled by two
men. Ole man drives with q
jerk line and plenty of profanity,
and the other one attends to the
brakes going down hill and makes
himself useful other wise. The
wagons are not small affairs.
