A Methodist preacher in a recent
sermon at Chicago, vigorously assail-
ed the principle of open shop, which
means non-unionism in the mechani-
cal trades. That Is a paradox on the
discipline of his church which pro-
claims an open door and free moral
agency. He is in the wrong church
for close communion.

Kindness Unspoken.

! Do you know that the world is
!, full of kindness, that never was
1 spoken, and that is not much bet
!, ter than no kindness at all? The
/ fuel in the stove makes the room
i warm, but there are piles of fall
i ing trees lying on rocks and on
q top of hill where nobody can get
. them; these do not make any
body Iwarm. You might freeze
to death for want of wood in
plain sight of these fallen trees if
you had no means of getting the
= wood home and making a fire of
| it. Just so in a family; love is
what makes parents and children,
= the brothers and sisters happy.
But if they take care never to say
ga word about it, If they keep it a
profound secret as if it were a
crime, they will not be much hap
pier than if there was not any
love among them; the house will
seem cold even in summer, and if
you live there you will envy the
dog when you call him poor fell
low.

How Some Men
Court Success


Would you win success? Then
you must WOO her with constancy
that knows no relapse into indiffer-
ence. She is jealous and exacting.
but she is worth the winning.
Do you believe any young man
could win a wife if he said to the
young lady of his choice. L shall
call on you every Thursday esen-
ing at $50 exactly and will leave
at just 10 by the watob," the in
ference beips that during that
time he wonll devote himself dill
gently to oourtship.
If he was like the average young
man who seeks to conquer the
world of business, he would wan
der in at about e:45. and about
$3.50 he would tnrn cne eye toward
the clook, and thereafter he would
note its every stroke At FIVE
minutes to ten he would have his
hat on. and at the first stroke of
the clcck he would be at the door,
and by the time last stroke of ten
resounded through the hall he
would be in the middle of the
next block. or probably headed for
the rear door of some nearby sa.
loon.
Now, could such a man under
such system win any self-respect-
ing girlP Certainly not. But the
same young man will WOO business
success under the same system and
then complain because he fails to
achieve it. 1 tell you the average
worker gets all he deserves and
frequently much more. The man
who wins deserves to win, and the
man who fails all too often gets his
just deserts.
Express your life in what yon tlo.
Ii your work is unoongenial either
cultivate love for it or do some-
thing you like to do, for less pay
if necessary. Achievements with
out fixed purpose is mere acci-
dent. Only that achievement with
out fixed purpose is mere acci.
dent. Only that achievement which
results from pertinaoious effort is
worth while.

HE Also RAN.

Down in Tennessee Demo-
crat who ran for Congress by tho
name of Taylor, and who waa
beaten in the race good deal
worse than some of the Demo
cratic statesmen of West Virgin
ia who tried to break into Com
gress, felt it to be his duty to
write card to his constituents,
which he did, and published the
same in the newspapers.
"Be notcast down by your de-
feat. / would rather have your
position than the victor's. Any
honest man would. The white
plume of knightly purity and val
or that goes down to the battle
shall wave again, immaculate and
unsulIied. The Damascus blade
of truth that falls in the u1st 81
conflict shall rise and flash again,
undimmed and incorruptible; it
may be on other helmets and in
other hands-but they shall rise
they were not made for dust.
The blood of battle, spilled from
the seed of the worlds redempt-
ion, which shall blossom and bear
fruit when the workers of iniqui-
ty shall rot in the grave of oblivi-
on, unhonored and unsung.
Truth may suffer its Leipsig to-
day, but it will have its Auster-
litz tomorrow; and in Times last
conflicts the armies of Satan shall
go down in ignominous over
throw in the worlds last Water
loo."
OF course a man who can write
like that should never be defeat
ed for Congress.

The Faithful Wife.

Oft times I have seen a tall ship
glide by against by against the
tide, as if drawn by some iuyisi-
BILE tow line with a hundred
strong arms pulling it. Her sails
hung untitled, her streamers were
dropping, she had neither side
wheel nor stern wheel; still she
moved on stately, IN serene tri-
umph, as if with her own life.
But 1 knew that on the other
side of the ship, hidden beneath
that great hulk that swan so ma
jestically there was a little, toll
ing steam tug, with a heart of
fire and arms of iron, that was
hugging it close and dragging it
brayely on; and I knew that if
the little steam tug untwined her
arms and left the tall ship, it
would wallow and roll about, and
1T would drift hither and thither,
and go off with refuent tide, no
man knows where. And SO I
have known more than lone gem
ius, high-decked, full-freighted,
wide-sailed, gay-penonned, that,
but for the bare, toiling arms and
brave, warm beating heart of the
faithful little wife that nestled
close to him SO that no wind or
wave could part them would soon
have gone down stream and been
heard of no more.-Oliver Wen
dell Holmes.

Prayed for Fodder;
Got Carload Corn.

Silas Horsford, of New Haven,
Conn, whose farm abuts the DAN
bury branch of the New Haven
road, knows the ways of Provi-
dence are inscrutable. He has
been praying for corn for his hens
for the winter. "A freight train of
twenty three cars was wrecked
by his place. twenty-five cars
were smashed. The twenty-third
oblingingly tumbled down into
Silas's back yard and dumped
several hundred bushels of corn
neatly against the back door.
"That'll tickle the hens-and
eggs at forty-tive cents" was the
farmers joyous comment.
The other cars performed re-
markable stunts. They tore up
the embankment and at one point
razed it to a level They tore up
tracks for a quarter of a mile.
They were loaded with produce,
and farmers have been uusy all
day gathering in stores of bounty
for the winter.
The damage to the road was so
serious that it will be days before
trains can be run. Meantime New
York trains will go by way of
Bridoenort

to Rigid Game Laws.
Colorado has moro wild deer
now than any other state in the

deer in this state as cattle. The
laws protecting them from the
reckless and greedy slayera have
made a great increase In their
numbers and hunters who have

the body of the game law went in-

cause, they had not been protected.
Under the first Law the open season
lasted neaaly three months and
this was not protection enough.
But in 1903 an amendment Was
made shortening the open season
to 16 days, as it stands today. A
hunter is allowed to kill only one
deer and that must be buck with
horns and at least one year old.
There is no open season at ell on
