EXCITEMENT CAUSES JAGS.
Em otionalism Is as Intoxicating az
Strong Drink.


Yes; in my opinion, it is quite pos
sible for a man TO become intoxicated
in moments of great excitement, and
sometimes a man will become Just as
drunk as he would If he emptied the
contents Of gallon Jug" said the OBJ
servant man, according to the New
Orleans Times-Democrat, though IL
is, from MY observation, very rare to
find man who will lose control of
his legs in cases Of this sort
Crowds, with the excitements that
go along with these gatherings, the
noise and hurry and all that kind of
thing, will make some men drunk lust
as readily as booze. We have known
the same condition to be brought
about by great heights or distances.
by some persons in reaching the top
of high buildings. Seasickness, in nv
judgment, is drunkenness. Have You
ever stood close to railroad track
while passenger train whirled by at
full speed? If you have you can un-
Gerstand fully what am trying to tell
you. The noise and swift motion of
the train intoxicated you for the mo-
ment, and for the time being you are
just about as drunk as you can be.
Rapidly moving street cars will
have the same effect on some persons.
The temperament of the person, OF
course, has much to do with the de-
gree of drunkenness resulting from
these conditions. The crowd Is prob
ably the most prolific source of drunk
enness Of the kind l have reference
to. Few persons can escape some sort
OF intoxication In crowd. The most
sedate persons imaginable will show
the symptoms, and you will find the
condition to exist, no matter what the
character of the gathering. Crowds
In the streets will cause it. We find
It in the ballroom.
Church gatherings are not exempt
l have seen preachers noted for their
sedatc, courtly and dlgnlfied bearing
drunk with the excitement and fine
emotionalism o: some big religious
gathering. No doubt almost every

up of silk hat, first-class hypocrite, In
conferences, conventions and minis
terial gatherings, talking more denOm-
lnationalism than Christ.
There are wells without water. trees
without leaves, nights without stars,
nowers without fragrance fields with
out harvests, pulpits without sermons,
gardens without flowers, soldiers with
cut weapons, countries without a
cause, furnaces without a fire, singers
without a song, ships without rud-
der. religion without faith, homes
without mothers, meals without food,
a God without any heaven, a friend
without country.
Such is picture Of a friendship,
which is as pretentious as the father
or hell, that Christ put in a class by
itself.
There Is one who came to the world
the friend that sticketh closer than
brother" He touched with his infiu-
ence the perishing in humanity and
cured 1t Of its malady. 1t took tired
hearts and put their WEAKNESS into
everlasting sleep; went into the gar
den of humanity and killed the ugly
weeds and left it blooming with the
blossoms that will cast their fragrance
into the centuries, never to die. That
Is the friendship Of God.

four patrol wagon loads of medicine

a 1dle prOIeSSOr, Lne bIduSucldn OI
the institution, has made a compare
tive study Of student expenditures and
reached results that rich and fond
parents desirous of giving their sons
the great advantages of liberal edu-
cation should carefully consider. After
all, the most important function Of the
college is moral. The mere informa-
ton supplied by lectures and text.
books can be obtained at home; it is
the discipline, the atmosphere Of cul.
ture and learning, the associati tons, the
traditions and historic background,
the personal influence Of professors,
that combine to give college educa-
ton" the value and utility il possesses
In the familiar phrase, the mission OF
the college is to encourage plain living
and high thinking. But In every col
lege there are students who tacitly re-
verse the formula and proceed on the
assumption that the right ideal is high
living and plain thinking. or no think
ing at all and very little work even Of
the routine sort. There are not many
of these, it is true, but if any course
or practice on the part of parents
tends to increase their number it can
not be too persistently discouraged.
And the Yale statistician shows that
ali extravagant allowance to a student
Is source Of moral danger. Poverty
is bad for student; 1t means, Of
course, extra work outside and little
recreation and opportunity for assim-
iiation and reflection and beneficial
associations. But luxury Is even worse
for the student, because 1t is more in
sidious and demoralizing. 1t is a tru-
ism that "as the amount of total ex-
penditures increases the percentage
spent on necessities decreases" But il
Is certainly disquieting to find that
the wealthiest" class Of the Yale STU
dents spend more for drinking and
smoking than for their room rent and
furniture" and that while under
pleasure the highest (wealthiesb class
spends more than twice the proportion
that the lowest does" on music and
charity the order is reversed. The
parent who makes too generous an al
lowance for his college-attending son
does him a disservice and an injury.
He exposes him to temptation Of a
kind destructive Of the essential mis-
sion Of the college. The Yale professor
says that "the men who take time to
spend $S97 year on pleasure and to-
bacco and intoxicants do not have
time enough left for their regular
work to rank high in their class" But
this Is not the whole of the mischief,
nor even the greater part Of It. The
effect on character, on mental and
moral discipline, is of infinitely great
er moment. At college enough is better
than a feast.

Great Demand For Rural Delivery.

According to tables prepared in
the division of rural free delivery,
which have just been laid before
Postmaster General Cortelyou by
the Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General, there is no preceptible
abatement in the demand for the
rural free delivery service. There
are pending 4,7oS petitions for new
service, against $40 similar petit
tons on file one year ago.
The work of establishing the SER
vice is proceeding as rapidly as pos
sible. Rural routes are being or
dered into effect at an average rate
of about six hundred a month.
With the beginning of the next
fiscal year, July I, when the new
appropriation for rural free delivery
becomes effective, large number
of routes will be established, the
service to start on August 1. 1t is
found necessary to give at least
sixty days notice of the intention
10 start new service.
new York has 1880 active
routes, many counties being entire
ly covered by the service. Only
seventy-eight petitions from that
State are now pending.
The greatest pressure for the con-
tinuation and extension of the SER
vice comes from the Southern
States.

On this bright June morning the
al strength and life of the Nation
is busy on the farm, in the workshop
in the mine and on the lines of
transportation. Lift these people to
higher, broader and purer ways of
thinking, give them more to live
upon, and the nation grows strong
er. Depress them and the Nation
declines. and a decline which the
so called great business interests of
the country are utterly powerless to
check. Things are not always
what they seem. Crush a worker
and the whole body polite is injur-
ed. On the other hand you may
wipe cut Wall street and Lombard
street, you may reduce to ashes all
wealth represented by pape. merely
and set every millionaire to earning
his living by the sweat OF his brow,
and beyond the check of surprise
and a briefpause for the workers to
again get their bearings. the coun-
try would suffer no loss.
The purpose of the Grange is to
dignity labor. There are those in
