Address, "Two letters, H and
S, Honesty and Sobriety," by
Harry C. Royer. He pictured
vividly that noble, honest, sober
life, by which it is far easier to
grasp. our opportunities. Hon
esty does not only consist of pay
ing our pecuniary debts. There
are many phases of honesty that
are shamefully neglected. The
tongue has been called an unruly
member; however, our organs do
not act unless impelled to do so
by the brain, so we are RESPONSE
BILE for all we say, as well as all
we do. We are responsible for
that story, only a little spark at
first, but we helped to magnify
it, we helped to spread it, and
now it is a raging flame, unable
to be quenched and a poor and
blameless life is being enwrap-
ped in the flames which started
from some ones unkind lips-a
little spark, an untrue statement.
The time calls for honest men,
for our world is full of tempta-
tions lurking in every place we
may go; and more often tempta-
tions overcome men than men
overcome temptations. obey
that little guide, conscience, that
you house within your bosom it
will guide you into the right if
you heed its biddings; but un-
needed, it's edge becomes blunted
and it refuses to act as a true
governor of your deeds. Sue
cessfully follow these two vir-
tues and you will certainly be-
come the greatest of great heroes.

of this township, died last Sun
day evening at his home near the
Children's Home, of tubercular
hip disease and Bright's disease.
He was operated on about three
weeks ago for the tubercular
trouble and was thought to- be
getting along all right, but an
other operation was found nec-
which was performed
Sunday, but from which he did
not rally. He was aged about
80 years and leaves ayoung wife
and many relatives and friends
to mourn his early demise.

drive to North Star to visit rela-

showed up and inquiry among

that he had not been there re-

On December 18th Hampton
Roads was the scene of an unus-
ual pageant. Sixteen frst-class
huge battleships, constituting
the larger part of our navy, un-
der the command of Rear Admi-
raj Evans, were maneuvered and
MT in readiness for a cruise over
a large part of the waters OF the
world, passing through the At
lantic, around Cape Horn, and
through the waters of the Pacific
ocean. This demonstration, it is
said, is no idle venture, but in
the interest of peace, and a test
of the efficiency and endurance
of our battleships for an emer-
gency of war; and while there is
no actual war, the duties to be
performed will doubtless resem-
BILE war to a great extent. The
skill of the mariner and sailors
will be tested in managing the
vessels and ornaments, and thus
prepare them to meet a foe in
battle. A suspicion is rife among
some persons that the demons
| tration is something more than a
peaceful reconnoiter, but if so it
is somewhat difficult to discover
the nation challenged thereby.
| At any rate, it is probable that
it will prove peace movement.
The prowess and grandeur of our
ships may so awe other nations
that great care will be exercised
in committing any aggressions
upon our rights. 1t is said this
fleet has within it every element
of war except the paint. If needs
be that can easily be added. But
great care should be exercised or
our part not to be reckless anc
needlessly violate others rights
We ought to be as careful of 9th
er's rights as we are Jealous o.
our own to maintain them. Oul
