A COLLECTION OF DON'TS.

Don't turn away child when he
comes to you for comfort and sympa-
thy in childish grievance and then
expect him to love you and confde in
you when he reaches difficulties of
mature life.
Don't let the cares of the work IA
day world absorb all your sweetness
and strength. Take time to be young
with the children, to romp with them
to rejoice with them, to read with
them, to love them.
Don't become careless in your dress.
Adorn yourself for your husband give
him the happiness of finding lovely
woman. as we'll as loving woman
and good house keeper.
Don't make the mistake of be-
lieving that you are too handsome or
too ugly to be benefited by careful
grooming and dressing.
Don't expect to have a bright and
happy home without books, music and
friends.
Don't allow your children to be
cruel. Teach them tender considera-
tion for all things from their baby
hood.
Don't let circumstances overcome
you; the spirit of man should rise
above you. Keep CHEEKY fire, q
CHEEKY smile and a CHEEKY word for
the rainy days
Don't live in the future. Man s
most precious possession is today.
Don't dream Of the past. Feet
stumble and the hands are useless
when the eyes are looking backward.
Don't forget the loving word, the
tender cares that makes the day beau
tiful for those who love US.
Don't sulk. Let the storm break
when the clouds gather, that the air
may be cleared and life become toler-
able again.
Don't spend foolishly. If the purse
is lean buy not simply what you want
today, but what will be of value
year from today.
Don't rust mentally, or physically,
Work, work, work for the joy Of it,
but don't overWork.
Don't forget to battle frequently, if
you expect to retain your youthful
freshness and elasticity Of spirit.
Don't forget that neatness is the
first law of beauty in dress.
Don't forget your mind. A little
reading every day to store the mind
with knowledge, . little quiet think
ing to make what you read your own,
9 little pleasant conversation to
stimulate Your wit-these will do
much to make girl or woman de-
lightful companion.

a murderer kills because he is a
murderer. Back of the deed is the
character. and conduct fellows it as
effect follows cause. The act of no
man is better than his life. 1t grows
out of it and is part of it. A pure
life is incapable of corruption. Its
sources of thought and conduct are
clean and the conduct following is
equivalent to it's fountain. Fill the
heart and the mind with truth and
justice and righteousness, and those
qualities will produce conduct like
them. And the reverse is true.
When God dwells within, his holiness
flows through the channels of our
lives, even to the smallest words and
deeds. Therefore the Importance of
so living every day as to develop pure
and noble character; as the good Book
puts it, Keep thy heart with all
diligence; for out of it are the issues
of life. Texas Advocate.

arose to charge the jury and spoke as
follows:
Gentlemen of the jury, charging a
jury is new business to me, as this
is my first case. You have heard all
the evidence as we'll as myself. You
have heard what the learned counsel
have said. If you believe what the
counsel for the plaintiff has told you,
your verdict should be for plaintiff
but if on the other hand, you believe
what the defendants counsel has told
you, then you will find verdict for
the defendant, but if you are like me
and don't believe what either of them
said, then I'll be id if I know
what you will do. Constable, take

THE LABORER AND THE BUM.
How often in life we see men, who
by their outward appearance are per-
feet gentlemen. Men whose lives and
characters are blacker than the dark
est night. Men who occupy pr omi
nent positions in society simply be-
cause he wears fine clothes and has
few dollars in his pocket that he has
won in some poker game or inherited
from an honest, upright and industri-
Gus ancestor. But follow the lives of
these young men for just few brief
years and see what the end is. Soon
they commence to go down the sunny
side Of life which is marked and
blackened by deeds of atrocity and
crime that today form the bold head
ings for SO many newspaper articles
that bring shudder to everyone.
Where does this class of men come
from? they come from the class of
boys that never know what it is to do
an honest hard days work. Boys who
will not work unless they get Just
little more than the boy who works
from early till late, six days in the
week. four weeks in the month and
twelve months in the year.
On the other hand we oftimes see a
young man with poor parents, perhaps
an aged mother, younger brothers and
sisters whose living depends on what
the young man does. How often we
hear the first named class casting slur.
ing remarks at that hard working
young man as he comes from his work
of nights, tired and weary from hon.
est labor. Follow that young man
through life and see his future. Some
day he will be the president of some
great railroad corporation or the
owner of some great mercantile estab-
lishment. Yes he is the coming Lin
coin, Vanderbilt or Edison of the fu-
ture.
Now note the contrast of these two
classes of young men. Which class
do you belong to? Are you the one
whose life is one of busy activity at
work, or are you one of those per.
petual loafers whose only occupation
is to sit around on the corners and
whistle in loafng match and cuss
the government because it does not
give you pension.

CHARACTER AND CONDUCT.

Character is the product of life
time Of growth and development.
The experiences and transactions of
every day enter into it and these re-
suits make it what it is, and the
character is the man. Into it he
builds his mind, his heart, and his
life. The relation then of character
to conduct is vital, and the one is in
separable from the other. Our Saw
Jour gives expression to this statement
when he says: s'The hireling feeth
because he is hireling.'' It could
not be otherwise. He had the charac-
ter of ashireling and he acted the part
of a hireling. The conduct was the
result of bis character. So it is with
every man. A good man has good
character. He is right within and be
acts right without. A bad man has
bad character, and he is bad without
because he is bad within. A drunk
ard drinks because be is drunkard, 3
man steals because he is thief, and

NULLIFIED PROHIBITION.

The famous lecturer, volney B.
Gushing, of Maine, in an address in
the First nj. E. Church, of Rock
Island, ILL.,, declared that the liquor
business in it's effect OH legitimate
trade is like rust on the wheat-it de-
stroys substance and value. In addi-
tion it defiles the home, cripples the
church and corrupts government. He
contended that license has no ethical
basis, but that prohibition is sound in
principle and is justified by results.
Taking up the enforcement question,
Mr.. Cushing said that when Daniel
Webster was boy, moving in the
field with his father, he complained
that the scythe was not hung to suit
him. His father fixed it for him.
After awhile Daniel complained that
the scythe was not hung to suit him,
and his father said, Hang it to suit
yourself Thereupon Daniel hung
the scythe on limb of tree. "A
scythe hung on tree" said Mr..
Cushing, won't cut any grass. He
would not be wise man who should
call the scythe failure. Daniel was
the failure. A liquor law hung on a
peg of official notification won't close
up drink shops. But just as strong
willing man can make good scythe
cut grass, SO loyal official can make
good liquor law close up drink
shops. 1t is matter of administra-
tion, as Sheriff Pearson showed with
the Maine liquor law, and as Cover
nor Folk is showing with the Missouri
Sunday law. Prohibition, like any
other public policy, must be judged
by its success when administered by
it's friends and not by its alleged fall
ures when nullified by its enemies
