him of In the second round Cans
started to open up. The Kids at
tempts to land all ended in failure.
Cans blocked Hermans leads with
glove and elbow, and when opportun-

True Principles Of the
Government.
RESENT ANY PUBLIC WRONG
Newly Elected Governor Of New YORK
in inaugural Speech Sums up the
Present Social Movements Of
America.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. Charles f.
Hughes was today inaugurated as
governor of New York in the presence
Of large number of men and women
representing the various cities of the
state.
Governor Hughes. after few words
of compliment to the administration
OF Governor Higgins, addressed him
self to his fellow citizens" saying In
part:
I'VE have reason to congratulate
ourselves that coincident with our
prosperity there is emphatic assertion
of popular rights and keen resent
ment of popular wrongs, There is no
panacea in legislation or legislative
action for all the ills of society which
spring from the frailties and defects
OF the human nature of It's members,
But this furnishes no excuse for toll
Grafton of wrongs made possible by
the defective or inadequate legislation
or by administrative partiality or in
efficiency.
Whether or not We have laws
enough, we certainly have enough of
ill-considered legislation and the ques-
ton is not as to the quantity but as
to the quality OF our present and our
proposed enactments.
SLOWLY but surely the people have
narrowed the opportunities for selfish
aggression, and the demand of this
hour and of all hours is not allegiance
to phrases, but sympathy with every
aspiration for the betterment of con-
ditlons and sincere and patient eff
fort to understand every need and to
ascertain in the light of experience the
means best adapted to meet it, 1t is
the capacity for such close eXamina-
tion without heat or disqualifying
prejudice which distinguishes the
constructive effort from vain endeavors
to change human nature by changing
the forms of government.
at must freely be recognized that
many of the evils Of which we COM
plain have their source in the law it.
self in privileges carelessly granted;
in opportunities for private aggran-
di2ement at the expense of the people,
recklessly created; in failure to safe
guard our public interests by provid-
ing means for the just regulation Of
those enterprises which depend on the
use of public franchises. Wherever
the law gives unjust advantage, wher-
ever it fails by suitable prohibition
or regulation to protect the interests
Vi the people' wherever the power ue-
rived from the state is turned against
the state, there is not only room, but
urgent necessity for the assertion of
the authority of the state to enforce
the common right.
IF in administering we make the
standard efficiency and not partisan
advantage, if in executing the laws
there is fair and intelligent action
with force to each exigency, we shall
disarm reckless and selfish agitators
and take from the enemies of our
peace their vantage ground of attack.

Duties of d Gentleman.

1t would seem to be the first duty OF
every man to have good manners-not
the superficial veneer which merely is
the outside polish, but the good man.
ners that spring from a good heart and
a sincere, manly nature. Emerson says
that "a gentleman is a man of truth, -
and this definition means honesty and
sincerity in conduct He must have
character and force, good nature and
kindness, manhood first and then gen
tlenesS."
A well bred man is free from AFRO

true. He is cOnsiderate in his feelings.
polite and kind to every one He re-
spects himself He is chivalrous to-
ward women and reverences their sex
because he bears in mind his love and
respect for his own mother. He pro-
tects the weak and is tender toward
children and aged persons. He is never
self-assertive, pushing, aggressive or
familiar, for to possess any of these
qualities would indicate a distressing
lack of good breeding.
An old verse gives quaint directions
that man should follow in modern
times:
when thou come the hall door to.
Doff thy hood. thy gloves also"
A man removes his hat when he en-
tiers a house, and does not shake hands
before removing his right glove
In social life it is taken for granted
that man is indebted to a woman who
accepts any attention from him.

The Careless One.

Careless dressing is both. extrava-

Who does not know some loved one
whose constant indifference to appear

There is sure to be in almost every
home the member who has to be

presentable to visitors.

hooks and eyes skirt bands that per-

Useful Remedies

A mustard plaster mixed entirely
with white of egg will neither scar nor
blister.
Any one suffering from rheumatism
will find relief if he constantly keeps
-four of sulphur in the foot Of his
stockings.
People who suffer with sluggish liv-
ers should derive benefit from lemon
juice. Take the juice of one lemon in
half a glassful of cold water, without
sugar. every morning.
Nothing is better for heartburn than
a quarter of a teaspoon of baking soda
mixed in little sour milk. It will give
instant relief.
A boracic poultice is excellent for an
inf1amed toe joint. Steep a piece of lint
in boracic acid solution; lay this on the
joint; place over it a piece of oiled
silk, keeping it in place with a mar
row bandage. Do not wear shoes that
press on the foot in any way.
Soap liniment is one of those harm
less and useful things that should find
a place in every home. 1t can be had
ready for use in any drug store. 1t
is excellent for bruises and sprains. The
ingredients are: Soft soap, camphor, oil
of rosemary and spirits of wine.

GIRLS SHOULD LEARN ART
OF SCIENTIFIC HOUSEWIFERY

Il believe" says Miss Mary F.
Rausch, who is in charge of the do
mestic science department of the Iowa
Agricultural college, that the day is
coming, and very rapidly, too, when
people will learn that it is lust as i'm
portant for girl to learn how to keep
mouse intelligently, economically and
heathfully as it is for a young man to
prepare for his life work"
Girls are like politicians. One looks
forward to matrimony, the other to
holding office. And Just as politicians
study how to make themselves popu-
lar, rather than how to be competent
public servants; in other words. how to
gain public offices. rather than haw to
administer them; so girls STUDY how to
win husband. rather than how to per-
form efficiently the work of a good
housewife Instead of learning how to
COOK, sew and rear babies. the modern
girl learns to play the piano.
Housewifery must be always the
principal occupation of women. and
every woman ought to learn the trade
thoroughly The art of keeping house
must be learned, like any other art,
although good many women seem to
think it comes by nature.
Parents are quite as much to blame
as girls for the fact that so few girls
attend housekeeping and cooking
schools. Fathers laugh at the girls
and mothers resent the idea of any
person pretending to be able to teach
their daughters more about cooking
than the girls can learn at home.

Married Life in Fiction.

once upon a time, and not so very
long ago, the word novel was invariably
synonymous with love story: fiction
was romance-the record of the wooine
OF a maid and the adventures incident
thereto. The novel reader expected
each work of fiction to contain such
a love story. Whatever experience by
land or sea the personages of the tale
might have, whatever purpose the
author might wish to promote. what
ever philosophy to advocate or histori-
cal episode to celebrate he must leaven

II IN the final chapter he brought
them to the point of wedlock and left
them TO be happy ever after he felt
that his duty was done, and few were
the readers who desired to penetrate
beyond that veil. 1t was the accepted
theory that marriage ended all so far
as the worlds interest in the history
OF any man and woman was concerned.

ceremony that should make them one il

Seek Not REVENGE.

Whatever may have been done to you
by an enemy, if it be really an evil
thing, a thing that is bad in itself
staining the soul of the doer, do not
venge. Lift no finger, do no such
thing; say no word, above all, pray
that punishment may fall upon the
one who has despitefully used you.
But be sure it will fall. The time
will come when, if you have any pity
in your soul, you will gladly do any
thing in your power to help the one
who today stabbed you to the heart's
core. For in the accomplishment of a
cruel deed, in the doing of a shame
full act, in the very utterance of the
words that injure, forces are set to
work. the power of which cannot be
comprehended.
