The Lesson of the Hour.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 "A good name is rather to be chosen
 than great riches and loving favor ra-
 ther than silver or gold" This saying of
 the ancient sage, rehabilitated and em-
 phasized, has been freely expressed by the several editors of our local press in
 commenting on recent startling events.
 Such sermonettes meet responsive sen
 tinnents from the community, which IS evidence that the heart of the people
 is ready to sustain the right and sup
 press the wrong when serious atten-
 ton is called thereto.
 With all ,that has been and yet will
 be said. this vital question is before
 us, What is to be done about it?"
 What shall the answer be? Surely the legacy thus transmitted to the offender against law and the good faith of his fellows, also the innocent sufferers by such wrongs, should be of priceless value judged by the enormity of the offence. In this
 we recognize the highest good of bit ter experience and if the end shall not
 be attained. yet more severe trials await us.
 The injunction to the growing chil- dren of the present day would seem too frequently to be: With all thy get |ting, get money" Wisdom is lastly considered, if at all, thus ignoring the truths heretofore verified and which are to stand through the eternal years. We look hopefully on the future of
 our human family, notwithstanding the frequency of falling members. We are by no means a fallen race, for the faithful will ever be alert to conceive land effect methods of helpfulness now unknown by which the weak may be strengthened and restored to ways of integrity and peace.
 While these violations of honesty and confidence are usually committed by the masculine element of the family, they are often prompted by a desire to furnish greater luxury and satisfaction to the female branch of the home. We are thus led to question, if laud- able and persistent effort were made by the latter to make life more simple and natural, esteeming personal merit as superior to all else, refusing luxury and pleasure, if wrongly acquired, would not the nobler impulses be strengthened and vain ambition sub dued?
 We see vast field not yet absorbed by the noble women of our land. Their various clubs will no doubt add new branch of effort to those now in hand. Glasses for the study of economies would aid the members of the house. E hold to better grasp the conditions of

oN rHErR KAY

The cheering news has been received lat the Department of Agriculture that Dr. Cook. who has discovered in Guate- mala an ant that is 3 fierce enemy of the boil weevil. has started by the over land route from Guatemala for the cot ton fields. carrying colonies of ants with which experiments will be made in the weevil-rayaged sections. If these ex- periments prove as successful as is ex- pected by the Department, the ant coI-
 onies will be imported in a wholesale
 manner.
 Here's hoping that Dr. Cook will reach this country safely, bringing his ants with him, and here's hoping that when they get here the ants will go fright to work and save the country from the evil of the cotton boil weevil. It is only a little while since the De-

 But it was after the old doctor died that my trouble began I never could be sure in a difficult case what was best to do, and I did not have the faculty of appearing to be sure when was not.

They began to go to him, and gradually my practice dwindled away until there were only a few of the old doctor s friends and a few people who were too poor to pay.

4 HARD PROBLEM.

Why do the boys leave the farm?
 o. P. Sturm, editor of the Saline coun-
 ty (MissourD Index, who was raised on a farm, thinks it is because girls are not apt to love farmers. Pride, he says, has driven many a boy from the farm. The roughness of his hands and the tan on his cheek acquired by hard work and in the sunshine make him Ifeel at a disadvantage with his city cousin whom he chances to meet in the
 parlor of some favorite lady friend on
 Sunday evening. The air of superiority exhibited by the soft-handed, fair checked city chap puts the farmer boy Iill at ease and he goes home at night sick at heart and tired of the farm. He imagines his country lass favors the city chap and would prefer some other life than the farm. Like Maud Muller, she is not content with her lot, and | she spurns the love of the noble farm CT boy because of what she thinks is a humble calling. The result is the boy
 becomes disgusted with the farm. Even while in college or at the university l the young women seldom turn their smiles and approval toward the farm CT boy in preference to the law student,
 the civil engineer, or medical student. Perhaps there is more truth than
 poetry in this. If so, the problem isn't
 so much how to keep the boys on the farm as how to keep the girls there
 And how can you convince a fine
 young woman that good farmer is
 a darn sight better than he may look
 and better for her than a count may be?

No one ever knew him to be in fight. The boys called him a milksop. He wasn't much good in rough games, and usually played with the smaller boys and girls. But he was all right in the school room-the hest behaved boy and the most studious. He was way ahead of the others of his age and was constantly being called upon to help those much older than himself. He was always willing and anxious to help, and down in their

 bright and studous was he that the teacher was forever pointing to him as

AN 1svxsrIeArIoN NEEDED.

Norwich is called The Rose of New England, but some things there are not as rosy as they might be. It is charged and not yet denied that one of the aldermen of Norwich draws sal- ary from the city of s1,OOO year, which he did not do when elected. This is the health officer, who has to be nominated by the mayor. Another of the alder
 men is employed as an inspector of city water services, at about $2.50 day; an employment he did not have when elected. Another alderman leases from the city a valuable tract of land, at a nominal price, which he did not lease before he was elected, and he furnishes the coal for the city. Another, and the fourth and last alderman, is preferred in city work, and secures it in some way hard for competing contractors to understand. There is councilman who paints, and he painted the city hall, land the city barn before it was torn down, and then painted the new one.
 Norwich ought to have an investi- gation, just as we are going to have. Even if the councilman who is paint CT is a good painter it doesn't look well for him to be painting the city hall and the city barn.
