THE VALUE OF TIME.

If you expect to achieve any
large success in the world you must
learn the value of time. Methuse-
lah. If you waste IN hour or two
day or two every now and then,
You are going to run out of time
after a little. The days in which
you can sell real estate or do any
thing else with all your might are
few enough at best.
Youth doesn't last forever
middle age doesn't last forever.
Enthusiasm gets cold and energy
walks OH crutcheS as man grows
older. You want to make every
day, yes, every halliday, every
hour count. The hours of your
life pass by like telegraph poles
beside speeding train. First
you know Il day is gone, then IL
week is gone, then the month is
gone-and 10! the year is gone.
Doesn't this show you the money
value of your time? And yet how
fast and loose you play with it..
You meet Il friend on the street; he
invites you into quiet corner
where there is Il table and Il couple
of chairs; he keeps you corralled
for an hour; he entertains you with
Il variety of chaf1., but it all not
only puts no money in your pocket
1T absolutely takes money out.
You'd call Il police if IL man stole
your pocketbook; you'd shoot Il
man who broke into your house to
carry Off your silver; you'd risk Il
bullet to save your watch from Il
hold-up man. But your time the
most valuable thing you possess,
the raw material that absolutely
stands for watches, silver, yes. for
all your worldly posScssions-you
let any casual acquaintance steal
from you in any quantity at any
time. Is that right! Is it Justice
to yourself, to your family
Your time is your capital, your
stock III trade. It's the only Kind
of capital that costs one nothing
to get and everything TO lose. Sue
ceSSiul men hoard their hours and
minutes as Il miSer boards his gold.
while Il spcndthrift of time is I,
sure candidate for failure.

Intelligent manhood is at las
beginning to assert itself in this
fair land of ours, and the time is
not far distant when, standing

THINKING FOR OURSELVES.

THINNING FUK OURSELVES.
Time brings many changes. One
of the most notable is the growing
tendency of the workers to greater
independence of thought. This is
little observed by many who pride
themselves on the possession Of
great wisdom and education.
In former times the opinions of
the higher educated were accepted
as gospel by the masses. But the
spread of common school education
and the modern facilities within
the reach of the working people by

the part of the workers. The ready
leaning of the higher educated to-
wards the employer us the only
party to the act of employment:
their teaching of non-inteIlcrcncc

grasp of the every day industrial
situation and their visionary RENE

From the ncbulouS theories and

It's all right to talk of a sane celebration

To let the world know we are glad we
are here.
We couldn't do justice. 1 fear. on the
quiet
TO all of the feelings that surge in our
breast,
For custom has placed on the cracker its
fiat,
And youthful America tends to the rest
We let down the bars, and our feelings
run riot:
With shouting and shooting all voids we
must fill.
We've grown so accustomed to noise for
a diet
We wouldn't know how, I'm afraid. to
be still.
We humbled the British, we're free to
confess it:
vi course We forgive tnem, put IL is a
fact
The record is written, and who would
suppress it
Or say that it wasn't a glorious act?
Our joy is supreme. and we have to ex-
press it,
And how can we do 1t except by a
noise?
You see an old man, and you never would
guess it,
But he has grown young and is one of
the boys.
Then shoot off the cracker and send up
the rocket
And turn the boys loose for a season

You may as well let them; there's no
way to block it,
For would it be Fourth If the sparks
didn't rain?

For noise unrestrained has the place on
