Every man, no matter how rich,
should be producer of something
that will be of benefit to his fellow
men,"
"The man who tries to live without
working is bad example and men,
ace to society,""
In speaking Of organized fraternity
he said:
"The local lodge is the social center
for hundreds of thousands of worthy
citizens who would otherwise be de-
prived of the broadening and helpful
influence of human companionship."
Il am great believer in fraternal-
ism of the organized kind. 1t has ell
evated mankind; it brings them to-
gether for a common veal; it brings
home to every man sense of his re-
sponsibility to and for his fellow
man."
"The fraternal environment creates
citizenship, and brings men to a true
and acute realization of their individ-
ual responsibilities to their brother,
the city, state and nation"
To be one of a society of nearly one
million good American citizens, con-
slider a great honor, and if there is
one word that can utter that will call

The above extracts TEEN with un-

that we are growing better.
The young mayor, we are informed,
was reared by wealthy parents, but
they were parents of sense of duty
who did not bring up son in idle

This young man says:
1T is not a kind father who brings

Harry Thaw's parents had a proper
conception of their duty to their son,
he would not be paying a 100000 re-
tainer fee today to escape death in
the electric chair.
In failing to teach our children
sense of their duty to us, We fail to
teach them proper sense of duty to
others. They grow up and become
selfish and self-prejudiced and poor
citizens.
The poet, Scott, has forcibly ex-

timents expressed in his speeches he
will become force in our nations

There is plenty of room at the very
front Of public life for the young man

"No young man should enter politics
for what money there may be in it."
ITO succeed he must have code
containing principles, the first of
which must be honesty"
HE should enter politics from a
sense of duty to his country"
"He must submit to great injustice
when he is hewing to the line"
Young men for action, for warfare

The results of the New England
fisheries in 1905 broke all records.
Maine contributed to the food sup

sardines, valued at s5,OOO,000, and in
fresh fish alone Boston sold $4,000

The great 1T wharf in Boston
handled 10O,O0O,00O pounds of fresh
fish, valued at $2,5OO,O00 At this
wharf as many as so fishing vessels
have been moored at one time.

Banks fishing fleet. provided for
the worlds consumption 125,000,000
pounds of salt fish. valued at $780,

value of 100000.
In the latter part of 1905 a revolu-
ton was promised in fishing methods
by the addition of new steam trawl-
err to the fleet. Since fishing began on
the Banks the work has been done

WASH IN RUNNING WATER.
Public Drinking Places in Buenos
Ayres Must Cleanse Glasses
That Way.

''They do some things better in Buenos
Ayres than we do in this country" said
former Milwaukee man, who has spent
many years in Argentina.
1T may be considered small matter
by some, and yet one ironclad regulation
down there always struck me as emf
nently sound-a regulation providing
that all glasses used in barrooms, saloons
and public drinking places shall be
washed in running water. The idea is
that by cleansing them in water that is
used over and over there is a good chance
For the transmission of disease. Inspec-
tors are always on their rounds seeing
that the law is observed, and woe to the
man who is found derelict in it's oh
servance. Buenos Ayres, by the way, is
kept as clean as any city in the United
States, and is one of the most progress.

all taken cold, and lay around dormant,
and didn't take any interest in the busi-

think OF something to wake the animals

wake 'em up, and get some ginger into

Thrilling Moment,

It was at an English lock that
diver was working at massive gates,
when current, caused by the shutting
of the gates for his inspection, sucked
him off his feet and he felt himself
being drawn between the smooth gates
with nothing at which to grasp. And
with the shutting his air hose and life
line would be cut as with knife. But
in flash came an inspiration. AS he
was swept through he took his ham,
mer and held the iron head between
the closing gates and hung there. He
dared not signal to be drawn Up, for
to tug at him would mean death. But
the men above quickly realized that
something was the matter and they
swung the gates open again, and not

to the surface and to safety.-'rechni-

would be much like cussing if it could
be translated into English. Pa tried to
quiet the crowd and silence the hyenas
by taking an iron bar and mauling them,
but the hyenas just backed up against

sneezed at pa, and dared him to come on.

took my first package of snuff to the

most disgusted looking lion you ever
saw, acting like a man who has taken
severe cold, and wants to kill anybody

no attention to the crowd that passed

when pa went in amongst them, with
no shirt on, and the Arab keepers had
run away in fright, it was a dangerous
thing to do.
But pa is brave even to rashness. He
went up to Mahomet, the double
bumped leader of the herd, who was the
leader of the sneezers, and kicked him
in the Stats and told him to hush up his
noise. He dubbed him on the humps
with a tent stake. Then there was a
rebellion in Egypt, and Mahomet bit pa.
and wouldn't let go. and the other
camels sneezed all over pa, and had him
down, walking on him with their padded
feet. The circus hands had to pull pa
out, and it wasn't so bad, because the
crowd remained and they thought it
was part of the show, and that the ami
mails were trained to sneeze that way.

Old Trinity is quarter of a century
more ancient, though the present
structure dates back only to 1S46. Old
St. Pauls is the most interesting
church in the lower city from the fact
that it is one of Sir Christopher
Wren's designs, and that it contemp-
tuously turns its back on Broadway
and faces the river and the west, the
land of promise. St. Paul's is techni-
cally subordinate to Trinity, and is
owned by that wealthy corporation.
The old John street Methodist
church has a name familiar to nearly
everyone in that denomination
throughout the country. 1t is a per-
fectly plain building and not large,
but it's walls seem still to echo the
words of Asbury and Wright. The
new Catholic cathedral is. a beautiful
building, but has no historic interest,
and the old cathedral in Mott street
has neither size or beauty to recon-
mend it. AS New York is more than
any other city in the land grouping
of ancient villages, some of its more
interesting churches, of which several
are already over 200 years old, are SIT

Gee, but you never saw such 4 change
In lion. The crowd Of visitors we're
right near his cage, when he shifted, and
when he got the snuff into him, he began
to heave his sides like manswho is pre-
pairing to sneeze, caught his breath a
few times, and let out a sneeze that
sounded like the explosion of an auto
mobile tire. It threw cut feed all over
the audience, and everybody ran away,
yelling that the lion had busted.
He kept on sneezing, and looking so
astounded, as though he couldn't make
out what had got into him. Pa heard
the commotion and came running up to
the cage to find out what allied the lion.
After l had gone around to the other
cages and put snuff in all of them, came
up to the lions cage. The lion had
stopped sneezing and was roaring and
jumping up and down, with his mouth
open, trying to catch his breath, like a
man who has taken too big "a dose of
fresh horse-radish.
Pa said: What you been doing to.
Shadrack?"
l told pa had woke Shadrack up, and
that in about a minute he would find that
the whole animal kingdom had got a
bellyful, and would join in the chorus.
Pa tried to soothe the lion by going up
to the cage and stroking his name, but
the lion looked cross-eyed and stopped
prancing and gave a sneeze right at pa,
which blew pa clear across the tent to
where the sacred cow had just got hers.
When the stuff began to work on that
cow it was simply scandalous, cause
she beloved and cried and sneezed all
at once, and paved pa. He got up and
