and the streets were almost deserted

spent the Fourth with friends here,
returning to Hamilton Wednesday.
He made THE BLADE a pleasant call
and paid for the paper year to his

editor of the Chula News. The book
has 140 pages, made up of editorials
and other matter that has appeared
in Mr.. Smiths paper in the past few
years, and there isn't dull line in it.
It is worth reading from "kiver to
kiver," and is worth so cents, too, the
price at which it is sold.

The home is the place where all the

fruition.
The leaving of home is an expert
ence in ones life freighted with mo-

Every soul in the universe lives
alone. There is dark curtain drop
ped before the windows of the house
which hides it from the view of all.
Everyone has felt this loneliness even
in the midst of crowds.
Without fireside, mans domestic
nature, from which he derives by far
the largest amount of his earthly en-
joyment, cannot but remain cold and
almost entirely inactive. This de-
partment of his nature can be kept
alive only by the best of the hearth
stone.

There is something grand and in
spring in young man who fails
after doing his level best,
and then enters the contest again and
again with undaunted courage and
redoubled energy. We have no fears
for the youth who is not disheartened
at failure.

Man finds himself upon limitless
ocean, with no knowledge of whence
he came or whittier he shall go. All
he knows is that Hand he has new
er seen has traced the Golden Rule
upon his heart, hung chart in his
soul and placed compass in his
hand. He is also conscious of pilot
at the helm, never seen but always
there; an angel commissioned at his
birth to pilot his frail bark across the
uncertain waters of life and that con-
sciousness is his reserve power. We
may try to stife the voice of the mys-
terious angel within, but it always
says Eyes" to right actions and "No"
to wrong ones. No matter if we heed
Or not, no power can change its de-
,ision one iota. Through health,
through prosperity and adversely, be-
yond the reach of bribery and infu-
snce, this faithful servant stands be-
hind us in the shadow of ourselves,
never intruding, but weighing every
act we perform, every word we utter,
oronouncing the verdict Fright" or
