Most work is uncongenial, and the
great majority of men and women
think they would be happier in some
other place. To almost everyone the
day Of choice comes. What career?
What shall my life'S work be? If
instinct and heart ask for carpentry,
be a carpenter; if for medicine, be a
physician. With a firm choice and
earnest work, a young man or woman
cannot help but succeed. But if there
be no instinct, or if it be weak or
faint, n should choose cautiously
along the line Of his best adaptibility
or opportunity. No one need doubt
that the world has use for him, but
great honor and fortune are not for
all. True success lies in acting well
your part, and this everyone can do.
Better be a firSt-rate hod-carrier than
q second-rate anything.

EDGAR S. WILSON RESIGNS.

Hon. Edgar S. Wilson, who has
been referee for the national admin
iStration in Mississippi for several
| years, has resigned. He is in poor
health, which press reports assign as
a reason for his resignation. W. fear
| the state is the loser by Mr.. Wilson'S
| action as we think he has rendered
our people a splendid service. He
| may have made his share Of mistakes;
only dead men do not. But we are
confident that he has ~endeavored to
do a good work for his state, and to
place none but capable, honest and
satisfactory men in federal positions.
To use a borrowed phrase, The comes
to us well recommended, and has for
a number years been somewhat prom
inent in public affairs in Mississippi.
He was born and reared in this state.
He was for a long while private Sec
rotary to l.. @. G. Lamar, n of the
nations greatest statesmen. He was
the confidential friend to John M.
Stone, than whom the state never
had a more conscientious, upright
citizen or governor. Certainly, these
two gentlemen, who gave their best
life to the cause of our commonwealth,
found in him a man Of some extra
ordinary merit. His management of
the federal patronage in this state
reflects credit upon the administra-
tion of President Roosevelt and shows
a confidence worthily bestowed, and
ere long that measure of praise will
be awarded him, that honest. patri-
otto service, in the end, always obtains.

CHARITY.

Is it to drop full carelessly
penny in the beggar's hand,
And salve the conscience will the thanks
The winning crone has planned?
Is it TO feed a hungry mouth
With leavings from IA board well spread
The bits OF meat we cast away,
| The hardest cruStS or broken bread!
Is it to clothe a naked child
Or freezing man against the storm
With, worn out garments which have ceased
To keep our pampered bodies warm?
Is this then all of charity
These carnal gifts of man to man?
Nay, these were but the outer huSks
In Christ's revivifying plan.
To stop thine ears 'gainst evil tales
OF Islander and of shame;
To say Judge Not when wanton tongues
Befoul with sneers a once fair name
To guard thy lips close shut lest they
Join in the bounding. coward cry
With which a horde of censurers
Drives forth a lonely soul to die
To hold myself too pure and true
To trample on another'S woe,
Believing what thou hast not seen,
COndemning what thou canst not know
To do these things is best to use
The charity that Christ decreed,
For transient are the bOdy'S wants,
Eternal Is the spirits need.
Thou canst not read aDother's heart
Nor probe the mysteries of life:
Thou knowest not 'gainst what deadly odds
Was waged the bitter, long-drawn strife.
Nor canst thou tell what ground was held,
How near the triumph was completes;
One pOstern lost, the world condemns,
And on the banner writes Defeat"
II we Stay man, his brother man
EFFORTS OF us the murderer's dole;
God Judges when, with word unkind,
We thrust aside a stricken soul!
So owe we it to Christ Himself
Tojudge with his sweet charity
Those who half hid in censure's clouds,
Walk still in dread Gethsemane!
The above poem was written by
Mrs. Sara Beaumont Kennedy of Mem
phiS, and was sent us by a lady friend
of ours residing at that place. The
sentiment is so full of divine teachings
and suggests so much that the world
should appropriate day by day, that
we gladly give it space in u columns.

"BEN HUR."
Grand Spectacular Drama to be

ALL LANDS CONTRIBUTE.
American Baby Surrounded with Lux
uries from Every Dis
tant Cline.

The baby sat In his buggy With an
Afghan made of Saxony over his lap,
. fez on his head, while his shoes Of
Morocco peeped out from the cover
ings Under his buggy was Smyrna
rug, while his tippet of astrakan lay
close by. A faint odor Of cologne ema-
mated from his garments as he waved
his hands at reflection of himself in
the French mirror. This reflection,
says the Baltimore American, the
baby regarded as q cousin German Of
himself, and, as true Bohemian, he
offered to share his bottle with the
other baby.
His undevclothes were of Egyptian
wool, his dress of India linen. his ker-
chief Of China silk; the fur on his
storm coat was of Thibet, while Jap
anese chrysanthemum and Siberian
crabapple lay just out Of his reach.
The lace on his gown was Irish
point, his socks were of Spanish meri-
no.
His mother was finishing her din
ner of Sicilian olives and Turkey, Of
which she would give the baby none
on account Of the Greece, while the
father was somewhere hitting Scotch
and soda, Swiss cheese and English
walnuts. The goldfish near by showed
their Firms, and the Poles Of the globe
In the corner we're distinctly visible.
At length the mother returned, in
her Russian Blue Paris gown trimmed
in valenciennes, her breath fragrant
with Russian tea, telling the baby he
had been q regular Spartan for walt
ing so patiently while she had been
Roman elsewhere, and declaring she
would never let another Dago by
without getting him a Canary; that
she had promised 1t to him, honest
Injun, and she didn't want him to
think she was Welsher.
Then she gave him Brazil nut and
piece of tamel favored with Chill
sauce, declared she was colder than
Greenland, called the colored attend
ant Hottentot and tipped him with
a Canada dime, murmuring something
derogatory to Dutch treats and started
home.
On the way she stopped and ordered
some Brussels sprouts and the ma
terial for Spanish stew, sampled
some cream of Tartar and hustled in.
And yet she expects that child to
grow up loyal American.

The question of reforestation Of
lands is one which Ross county farmers
should study seriously, says the Scioto
Gazette. 1t means much to them, or
to any other community where large
clearings have been made and moth
ing done to retain the soil or store up
the moisture. Especially In the hill
townships should this question of re-
forestation be considered. Planting
these hill sides with good timber is
equivalent to putting money in the
bank. 1t draws interest by growth
and 1t can't be lost In financial cata-
clysm. All this applies with equal
force to Highland county.
