Temperance.

The young man who INDUCES in

but it ia 80 all the same, he is by his
own tboughtlessness causing men OF
business minds to hold him under
the eye of suspicion, and to seek for
other not 90 addicted when looking
to fill q position of honor or trust.
The man Of observation does not care
to employ young man whose nerves
are unstrung from acohol or nicotine,
and he will not, If be can find any
one else. As matter of business
policy it pays to leave alone those
things which nature has not provid-
ed and that must be acquired, to be
erioyed. 10 all avocasons of life,
integrity and intelligence are the
REQ aisitles for admission, and when
young man starts out in life it is
to his material interests to have
habits which keep his mind clear,
and his hands steady. 1t his mind
is clear and his hands steady he will
p. be enabled to master the intricscles
that beset a youth in his mad con-
tention for p!ace-he can grasp with
q firm hold that which merit has
made for him, and in all the. avenues
of life, trades, professions and call
lngs bis steady hand and clear mind
is in demand. Therefore, young
men, if the moralist cannot. persuade
you to eschew the habits which in
undste the system and dethroce the
mind, lot the appeal find, a resting
place With you IN that which strikes
your ambition aud pride and pocket

Reign Of King Cotton.

Reign Of King Cotton.
King Cotton is sovereign bold,
Has reigned supreme since days of old:
Lately traders Of base design,
Are trying his reign to undermine.
His products sold before they're made,
By future dealers. now called trade;
Low gambling is a better name,
Much more legitimate and sane
His subjects to his rescue come.
Like angry bees about their gum:
Breast works Of cotton now they make,
In solid phlanax watch and wait.
Without his staple mills stand still,
Nor any future orders fill:
Nations are fed and clothed by him,
Eyes that cannot see this are dim.
Wake up, farmers, together cling,
You; cannot do better thing;
United you'll stand, divided you'll fall,
Act in concert, It's best for all.
Farmers, don't fail to heed advice,
Raise corn, vegetables and rice:
Potatoes, everything you use,
This is right none should refuse
Raise sugar cane and all your meat.
Prosperity your heart will greet;
Independence will be your own,
AS free people as ever known.
Lessen the crop of the feecy king.
Ard this will greater profit bring;
Greed fills the world with ev'ry i'll,
For avarice is hard to fill.
Farmers, don't fail to back your king,
To his altar sweet incense bring;
To counsel good always heed,
Clothe the naked, the hungry feed.
The highway to success below,
Is trust in God where'er you go:
Without His aid our aims are lost,
Pray think awhile, and count the cost.

profession and should be pursued scientific lines
The two speakers last night differed somewhat on
the part that character played in so-called sue
cessful business-Dr. Knox holding that character
was only one element of the ability that goes to
make up a success while Mr.. Rauscher, on the
other hand, thought that character was the whole
thing.
DR. Knox spent fifteen years as teacher of phil
osophy in the Imperial College in Toxic, and he
touched on the Commercial untrustworthiness of
the Japanese explaining it by saying that up to
thirty or forty years ago that feudal country
in which the merchant at the very bottom OF
the social scale.
Mr.. Rauscher said:
The foundation of all is, first last and all

TOO ACTIVE IN POLITICS.
). E. B. Stuart Admonished by the Civil
Service Commission

Oyster Bay, Sept. IA report has been received
by President Roosevelt from the Civil Service Com
mission regarding an investigation of charges re-
Gently made against J. e B. Stuart, Collector Of
Customs at Newport News Va. alleging political
activity and undue partsanship in the conduct of
his office. When Stuart assumed the duties OF his
Office he found that he had larger number of
deputies than was needed to transact it's business
and he dismissed several of them. 1t so happened
that the dismissed were Democrats. Collector
Stuart also entered actively into politics. and in
one nominating convention several of the assistants
in his office were delegates. These conditions led
TO the charges, which were made against him to
the Civil Service Commission. Commissioner Cooley
recently made repot to the President the
charges AS result. Collector Stuart has been
directed that IL the business of his office should
make necessary the employment OF additional as
sstants he must reappoint the men recently dis
charged. if they should desire to return to the
government service and has been admonished not
to be so active to permit his office force to be
partisan in their political efforts.
