| There are in this world many won
derful things. Crystal rivers, noun
tains wearing eternal coronets of snow,
the oceans and continents, the sun
riding in majesty through his path
way Of stars, his respondent robes
trailing like FURNISHED gold over land
and sea. The age itself in which we
live is one Of miracle, but of all the
wonderful creatures of man and his
creator, there is nothing grander,
more wonderful or more valuable
than true woman. Her price is far
above rubies. Woman, wife, mother!
These three degrees complete the
magic circle in which she lives, moves
and has her being and glory.

"The first day [ was sent to school
went home at recess, thinking school
was out" says Bert Walker. GAS 1
have grown older I find that whole
lot Of people did the same thing, and
the sad part of the affair is that too
many Of us never went back" In
this life be careful that you don't go
home at recess. If you start to learn
trade or profession, stay by it and
master it. Don't chase away at re-
cess. If you have business, attend
to it and-don't 60 home at recess.
This going home at rooesS has sent
many man into bankruptcy. 1t
has caused mothers tears to flow and
mothers hearts to ache. 1t has made
crusty old bachelors and sour old
maids. 1t has filled worlds with ig-
norance and made barren deserts of
plains. Going home at recess means
that you have fallen asleep at the
switch and your train has plunged
into the ditch. Always stay until
school is out.
+ Many Of our brightest young men,
with lives of rare promise, early turn
their attention to a political career
which soon proves their downfall.
We soon find them drinking the
health of the aspirant for political
honors; drinking with "the boys" to
insure their votes; drinking toasts
at the reception of the victorious can
didate; drinking with everybody be-
fore the election, and great deal
more afterwards. All this has fixed
habit which he cannot shake off and
in the retirement of his own home he
turns to the wine bottle for the excite
ment which he formed in politics.
Young men, keep out of politics only
as you can let your influence be felt
for its publication.

One of the many interesting sights
at Yellowstone Park is the eagle
mother teaching the young to start on
the journey of life. With her own
wing she pushes the young bird off
the rock of the high ledge, which had
been the only home it had ever known.
With mothers eye she watches it
fall, but, before it strikes the rocks
below, with the speed of the wind she
darts beneath it and the young eagle
finds a soft lasding upon the feathers
of its mothers back. 1t is then car
ried to the highest cliff and the exper-
iment repeated until the young eagle
gets strength in its wings and can
safely go on life's journey alone.
With the same watchful care does the
good mother see her flock, one by one,
leave the old home. One by one she
lets them go. One to be missionary,
one doctor, one publisher. With
the eye of an eagle she watches them
as they successfully travel in their
