Knoxville, iowa last week, there to
suffer the torture of an unsatisfied
thirst for many months; in the
meantime, tt. cultivate desire to live
a better life and become better citi-

permitted to return to his family and
redeem the slur cast upon them

A Clean City.

Atlantic has passed an anti-spitting
ordinance, which act is certainly COM
mendable of any town, in our opinion.
The big boy nuisance is in evidence
in every town without exception and
an ordinance of this nature will
discipline him out of doors, while
his father should train him at home:
his chances then, to become decent,
would be improved.

HELP OURSELVES,

WE often wondered why it is CON
sidered Toys duty to wait on Mary
and why Mary is expected to CLEAN
mp Toms litter, hang up his coat and
hunt his. hat. Both children consider
themselves martyrs. Would it not
be much pleasanter for each to do his
or her own work? It would have
the effect in after years Of making
Tom more orderly man, and bet
ter hCsband-should he become one,
and making Mary a stronger woman.
We have often wondered why moth
er's memory and hands must serve
for dozen persons. Would it not
be better for all concerned if moth
'er's kindness contained more Of self
assertion and less of SELF sacr6se2
Would not at times, papa feel less
disturbed, nay, wrathfully, if he was
careful to keep his own papers in or
der, and perform the twenty other
trivial things he has time to do in
leisure moments, but expects Of some
one else? Would it not be better for
sister to teach baby-who is cid
enough to button his own shoes, than

The Defense of Father.

Surely the immense popularity the
new song Everybody Works but
Father" is having can be due to
nothing else than a devil-born desire
of this generation, which is swept
along at random before the God Of
''Up-to- Datism," to disregard that
thus sayeth the Lord Honor Thy
Father etc"
Time and again have we heard kids
and even grown young people troll
ling this disrespectful doggerel,
when their Fathers. were even then
either in the field, Office, or at hard
labour somewhere wringing out by
sweat and toll the daily bread which
they eat and the clothes they wear.
1T affords us refreshing relief to
| find that TO the relief of Father
has come one in language plain and
incontrovcrtibc. The Atchison
Globe is the source from whence il
come, Here it Is:
Nobody knows the money it taxes
To keep the home together;l
| Nobody knows of the debt It makes,
Nobody knows-but father
Nobody s told that the boys neelshoos
And girls hats with feather;
Nobody else old clothes mast choose,
Nobody-only father.
Nobody hears that the coal and wood
And flour's out together;
Nobody else must mako them good,
Nobdy-only father,
Nobody's hand in the pocket goes
So often, wondering whether
There's any end to the wants of those
Dependent-only father.
Nobody thinks where the money will
come
10 pay the bills that gather;
Nobody feels so blue and glum;
Nobody-onlY father.
Nobody tries so hard to lay
Up something for bad weather,
And runs behind, do what he may,
Nobody-only father
Nobody comes from the worlds cruel
storm
To meet dear ones who gather
Arouad with loving welcome warm.
Nobody does-but father.
Nobody knows OF the home life pure,
Watched over by mother,
Where rest and bliss are all secure,
Nobody can-but father "

Carmack's Tribute to the South.

This glowing tribute TO our below
ed Southland from the mouth of that
brainy Tennessean, Senator Carmack.
comes to us through the Congress-
ional Record; its an-impassioned ora
ton and so entirely beftting South
ern chivalrics that we gladly present
it to our readers:
These people, sir, are of high
and noble lineage The blood of the
heroes who fought at Kings noun
tain and New Orleans is in their
veins. They are the sons of the sires
who blazed the pathway of civlliza-
zion through primeval forests of A
merica, and buiIded a temple ofliber-
ty in the wilderness of the Western
world. In whatever sphere of duty
1T has pleased God to place them,
whether in the quiet walks of peace
full station of civic power and duty or
amid the stars of death ON the red
field of battle, they have everywhere
exhibited those high qualities of A
merican manhood that have made
glorious the history of this republic.
l speak for nv native state, for nv
native South, a land that has known
sorrow; land that has broken the
ashen crust and moistened it with
her tears; a land SCARED aud riven
by the plowshares of war, and blow
e6 with the graves of her dead; but
a land of legend, a land of song, q
land of hallowed and heroic memo
ries. To that land every drop of my
blood, every fibre of my being, every
pulsation of my heart, is consecrated
forever. / was born in her womb,

Sod that | may be pillowed in her

temper may have grown into a dom
mating force in his character that
cannot be eradicatcd. Mothers some
times say when a child shows vile
temper and shrieks a good deal, that
it would endanger his life to punish
him; perhaps so, but you still more
endanger his future if you don't pun
ish him. Many gallows tragedy
has had its beginning on the mothers
lap. We wish we could write it in
imperishable, glowing letters on the
walls of every home-obedience, ODE
dience, obedience. Obedience to law
to household law; to paternal author
ity, unquestioning, instant, exact
obedience. Obedience in the family:
obedience in the SCHOOL, Wherever,
from the beginning, from the first
glimmering intelligence in the child,
there is expression of law, let there
be taught respectfor it and obedience
to it. 1t is the royal road to virtue,
to good citizenship, it is the only

y small, gray stone in the heart OF
each beneficiary marks the spot where
expired the famous Mr.. Pass. AS
.sassinated in the heydaY CT his ca
reer, he lies in a deep, quiet grave,
mourned by all who knew and loved
him. Each newspaper man and Con
gressioaal devotce has sung the swan
song in mournful tone Instead OF
silence, as the corpse to the ram
part was hurried, a howl went up
that echoed round the world
Vain! The railroad pass is no
more! Inexorable fate, in the per-
son Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee, has torn from us Il friend
who was never unwclcome, seldom
refused and often Of vital necessity.
From this time forth all sorts and

when they wish to ride. The bril-
liant but impecunious reporter, the
stately and rotund Senator, aye,
even the respected President himself,
must pass in line before the ticket
sellers window and buy with hard
earned gold the transportation they
require.
Thus do we interpret the words OF

Reciprocity

had been reading that Senator Nor
gan advocated the system OF
reciprocity.
What is meant by reciprocity"
asked she of a young man, long
known to be her admirer.
Reciprocity, responded the guileful
youth, may be defined to mean an
exchange in which neither party
gains an undue advantage at the ex-
pense OF the other. For instance,
if you gave me a kiss, should feel
bound to give you one in return.
