The Poison of Dishonesty.

1t is astonishing how men will play
with the poison of dishonesty, which Is
so insidious at first which intoxicates
and stimulates one, but paralyzes and
kills later. If every youth were only
taught that to be successful a man
must be greater than his occupation,
that his character must not be for sale
at any price, that he will always be
rich so long as he retains it and just in
proportion to it's strength and integrity,
and weak and unhappy and a failure,
no matter how much money he may
have, Just in proportion to the weak
ness Of his character; if he only started
out with the conviction that only one
real failure is possible, and that is the
loss Of self respect, the barter Of ones
character, either for pleasure or fol
money; If the youth were only taught
that he cannot afford to deceive even
little bit in the quality of goods he Il
selling or in the quality Of the service
he 8 giving, what a revolution would
come to our civilization!-Success.

Saved the Carriage,

In his "Reminiscences Of an Irish
Land Agent the author, Sam Hussey,
tells of one of the earliest private car
riages used in Kerry: "The vehicle in
question had just been purchased by a
certain Miss Mullins, who regarded 1t
on it's arrival with almost sacred awe.
A dance in the neighborhood seemed
an appropriate opportunity for i'm
pressing the county with her newly &C.
CURED grandeur; but, the night proving
wet she insisted on reverting to a for
mer mode Of progression and rode pill
lion behind her coachman. The result
was that she caught a violent chill,
which turned to pneumonia. When her
relatives were assembled round her
deathbed the old lady exclaimed be-
tween her last gasps for breath, Thank
goodness l never took out the carriage
that wet nightp"

The soul of the craftsman can ex-
press itself more fully and clearly in
tailoring than in any other trade. II
the tailor's thoughts are poetic, he can
issue pastorals in colors that are
charmingly suggestive Of hillside or
meadow, foliage or waving grain. He
can make his overcoats speak of bleak
December, his dress suits Of frolic and
festivities, his frock coats Of dignity
and wealth, his getaways Of self con-
tent and his sacks of strenuousness,
and he can make his waistcoats Jingle
like limericks, his trousers sing of sun
shine or Of rain and mud, his spring
suits chortle of hope and joy and his
summer suits prattle Of flowers. If he
Is an artist, he can make oyercoat, I'M
dercoat, waistcoat or trousers seem a
sensuous haze, a reverie in color, q
riot of action or a vigorous portrayal
Of conflicting emotions in a dec1mated
field of desolation, and if he Is a mu-
stefan he can impart to his sartorial
creations an expression that suggests
the bleating of lamb, the clashing OF
cymbals, the rattat Of drum, the
ragtime movement Of q cakewalk, the
wall of despair, the shout Of triumph
the roar Of a lion or the bray Of an ass

Law and equity are two things which
God has Joined together and man has

When a prisoner in Justice Maule's
court was asked whether he had any
thing to say why sentence should not

minute and then said: Prisoner, as

Hereditary Criminals.

The propagation Of criminal tenden-
cies from generation to generation seems
to be proven by established fact. The
public cost OF 1900 criminal descendants,
though seven generations, OF one luke,
was over 81 100000.
A wretched Ben Ishmael living in Ken
lucky in 1890 has had, as criminals and
paupers, 1850 descendants.
The S34 descendants of two sisters
living in Berlin prior to 1925 have cost
the state as criminals and paupers, over
100000. The law of heredity is otter
inexorable, and thus defective organ
cations, mental and moral, are the source
of other detective organizations.

The New York Herald has been poking
a little fun at the cosmopolitan heredity
strains in the President and in recent
cartoon suggests that he may have
Hungarian blood in his veins. Comment
ing on the cartoon the Springfield Repub

the pictorial delneation Of some half {
dozen Roosevets each CARRIED in differ
ent national costume, is too vivaCiou
not to be quoted:

Comparisons Are Odlous.

Among the men OF influence IN inc gov
eminent Of a great city, said the New
York Evening Post some time ago. was
q convicted muir lerer; another man who
had been tried for murder and acquitted,
another who had been indicted for telon'
;ous assault, another indicted Tor BIZ
berry, four professional gamblers, tive
keepers of dives, four liquor dealers, hive
ex.dealers in liquor, three ex-pugllists,
four ex.toughs, six members OF graft
syndicate, II office holders, and ~ pro-
fessional politicians sometimes called
"bosses" by the people.
One of the results for which, in part at
least, that style of government is respon-
sibIe. is an abnormal increase in the
number OF homicides in this country.
Let us glance for a moment at the
figures. There have been over l25, OOo
bomicides within the limits OF the United
States since 1881, OF which number over
$4,000 have occurred within the last i've
wears. There were 1913 homicides in
Chicago in one year. In that same year
there were only Is homicides in Paris,
Frarce, city larger than Chicago, and
"a in London a city three(old larger than
Chicago.
There were over 800 homicides in one
OF our states, in one decade, and HOO
pardons in the same time out of her peni'
tertiary. The increase in homicides has
been $50 per cent in a quarter of cen
tury

"God Be With YOU"

The late Rev. J. E. Rankin was a
brother of A. E. Rankin of St. Johnsbury
and is known wherever the hymn is
sung as the author OF God be with you
till we meet again." Our readers will be
interested in the story OF how the hymn
was written as given by II. Porter Smith
of Cambridge in recent number of the
Congregationljst.
Fifteen years ago, the late DR.. J. +.
Rankin, at my request, and to assist me
in preparing an address onceining some
OF our familiar hymns, sent me from
Orange Valley, n. J., the following in re-
laton to the composition Of his most
widely known hymn:
God Be With You, like most of my
hymns and poems, was the product OF a
cool purpose, and not the result OF any
experience or feeling. The thought that
that was the meaning of our honest anC
hearty greeting, "Good-by." was thu
germ Of it. ] tried to put into hymn

COX. o. New YORK. 10 be first assistant
secretary OF state, to succeed Francis B.

coa.rauied by the statement that Mr.,
Bacon would not assume the duties Of
his office for some time, perhaps until
about the middle of October, after Sec
retary Root had become settled in the
office OF secretary OF state. Mir Loomis'
resignation has been practically IN the

Of the BowenLoomis inquiry. which re-
suited in the forced retirement of Min

Morgan In two conferences in Washing

when Mr.. Bacon retired from the firm Of

PUBLIC PRINTER oUsTED.
MIR. Palmer's Resignation Is De-
manded by President
Roosevelt.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Public Printer
F. w. Palmer, practically has been
ousted from office. 1t was learned au-
thoritatively that President Roosevelt
had demanded Mr.. Palmers resigna-
ton, to take effect on the 18th inst.
The demand of the president for Mr..
Palmer's resignation was due prin-
cipally to the latter's action in trying
to force Oscar J. Ricketts,, foreman of
printing, and J. c. Hay, foreman of
division, out of the government
printing office. Mr.. Palmer asked
for the designations of Ricketts,
and Hay on the ground that they
had been insubordinate. The pub
lie printer formulated a series of
charges against the two men. These
charges, it is known, were forwarded to
Oyster Bay. AS soon as President
Roosevelt learned of the situation that
had developed, he directed Public
Printer Palmer to forward to him his
resignation, to take effect in two weeks.
The investigation made by the Keep
commission into the letting of con-
tract for ~ Lanston typesetting ma
chimes for use in the government print
ing office disclosed serious condition
of affairs in the management of the

Mass in the Midst of War.

The following descriptive sketch
occurs on an interesting article in the
London Westminster Gazette by Geo
Lynch, war correspondent:
1t was u hot morning in besieged
Ladysmith. A priest was saying mass
in the little chapel attached to the
convent hospital on the hill north Of
the town. The chapel was void of con-
gregation excepting the Sisters, the
outline of whose white-robed forms
could be seen beyond the veil behind
the altar. 1t was very quiet there; a
faint movement of the warm air
through the open window just heaved
the blind, letting it's tassel tap upon
the pane occasionally; clock was
ticking loudly from somewhere, and
with the profusion of flowers mingled
with aromatic odor of incense from the
last benediction. The sibilant whis-
pering of the priest uttering the almost
silent words of conservation were the
only other sound, and then little bell
tinkled from within; but on its ceasing
a noise came with which all the garri
son had become familiar-a rushing,
whirring noise, crescendoing into a
tearing roar, as If some mighty sheet
of canvas were being rent asnder:
