BETRAYED Their Trust.

"Entrusting these tasks to the elected
representatives, the nation placed upon
them by that very trust q heavy response
biiity and it was their sacred duty TO use
their rights i'm wise labor for the well
fare and the Strengthening Of the Rus
sian state. Such were our ideas and de-
sires when we gave to the nation new
principle of or the life of the state.
ITO our sorrow, a considerable section
of the second duma failed to justify our
expectation. It was not with the will or
desire to strengthen Russia and perfect
her new administration that many of the
delegates of the nation set to work but
with a manifest tendency TO augment her
troubles and assist in the disruption Of
the state.
As a consequence of this activity dur
ing these periods of the dUma, which con-
stituted an insurmountable obstacle to
fruitful labor, hostile spirit was intro
duced Into the duma itself which pre-
vented the union of a sufficient number
of its members DESTROYS of working for
the interests of the country For this rea-
son the duma either failed to discuss i'm
pOrtant measures that were drawn up by
her government. or delayed their discus
sions, or else rejected them. not even re-
coilinG from the rejection of laws which
punished the open support Of crimes, and
particularly the disseminators of trouble,
having evaded condemnation for aSsassi-
nations and acts OF violence.

Teach Children to DeteSt IdIeneSS
(St. Louis Republic. J

Children should be taught to de-
test two things thoroughly-idleness
and aimlessness. Instruct them to
work in some definite manner for
pleasures own sake. More than
all, train their hands and stir their
brains with the constant assurance
that they will find the sweetest salts
faction in that which they are to ac-
complish in life.
Be careful in criticising the efforts
of children. The clipped Wing may
never grow again. Make it a matter
of conscience never to mislead child
ren, for they are travellers newly ar
rived from strange country. AL
low them as their world widens, to
have opinions of their own. Let
them be personally hot mere echo.
Make your home the center of at
traction to your children. Let them
feel drawn to you, and like it. Re-
spect the secrets of your children,
but do not worry them to confde in
you.
Consult their taste and wishes in
the matter of employment. 1t often
happens that a fathers most cherish
ed wish is to see his son follow the
same trade, calling or profession as
himself. The boy knows, however,
that he is utterly untitled for such
work, but he loves his parents, and
so sinks his own ambitions and like
ings to follow their wishes. What
is the result? He becomes the round
peg in the square hole. and never
succeeds.
The same with daughters. Mothers
should not forget that environments
lead to different ideas. Maybe the
mother was brought up in a quiet,
homely way in a little country vii
lage, and the idea of her own little
girl wishes to become a performer
in public is absolutely eart-breaking
Still the children have a choice in the
matter of work, wisely counseled by
their parents.
Perhaps one child out of a large
family is somewhat slow and plod-
ding, and in consequence is jeered at
by his quicker brothers and sisters.
The parents should watch this mat
ter carefully, and never allow this.
Often the wisest brains have devel-
oped from a slow child, and, there
for, the school report should be dis
creetly considered. Children will
not take trouble with what is con-
genial. The stupidest boy at
books may yet invent some
thing that may astonish the world,
while the silliest girl at music may
yet be clever, practical milliner, or
artistic designer.
Give the children a chance-con-
suit them, look upon them as indivi-
duals, each requiring a different
treatment, and the result will be
that you will live to be proud of
them.
Praise your children when they
deserve it. 1t is good for them.

LukeWarm Water will Never Run an En-
CINE
(SuCCeSS.)

Before water generates steam, it
must register two hundred and
twelve degrees of heat. Two hun
dred degrees will not do it; two hun
dred and ten will not do it. The wa
ter must boil before it will generate
enough steam to move an engine, to
run train. Lukewarm water will
not run anything.
A great many people are trying to
move their life trains with 1ukewarm
water-or water that is almost boil
ing and they are wondering why
they are stalled, why they can not
get ahead. They are trying to run
a boiler with two hundred or two
hundred and ten degrees Of heat, and
they can't understand why they do
not get anywhere.
Lukewarmness in his work stands
in the same relation to man s achieve
ment as lukewarm water does to the
locomotive boiler. No man can hope
to accomplish anything great in this
world until he throws his whole soul,
filings the force of his whole life into
it.
In Philips Brooks talks to young
people he used to urge them to be
something with all their might.

general desire to accomplish some
thing. There is but one way to dc

JUST DESERTS TO WIFE BEATER.
G. v. Bond Sentenced to Thirty Days
on Roads.
(Ralcigh evening Times.)

(Ralcigh evening Times.)
We wife beaters in the town of Raj
eigh had better lay low for Police
Justice Badger can see but one pun
ishment adequate for man who will
resort to such a despicable crime, and
that is term on the county roads.
Late yesterday afternoon a case of
this description was heard in the po-
lice court and the court was inclined
to infiict.on the offender a sentence
Of six months on the roads, but in
view Of the fact that orly q simple
assault had been committed it was
made thirty days. The defendant
was one of the kind that like to act
the bully when dealing with a weak
er person, but who cringe with fear
when confronted by some one Of
equal strength or the strong arm of
the law
G. w. Bond, who conducts d sfilall
store on south Blunt street, neal
Smithfield street, was arrested upon
warrant sworn out by his wife, who
charged that he slapped her and pick
ed up a bottle and threatened to kill
her. At the trial the wife, very del
icate womaii, went upon the stand
and told of the affair. She was in
the yard when her husband command
ed her to come in the house and get
him clean shirt, and when she did
not come the first time he told her
to he cursed her. When she did en-
ter the house he threatened to kill
her. She also told of her husband
having beat her during the latter
part OF last March, an affair the
poor woman said she did not want to
speak of it, but determined if her
husband treated or beat her again
that she would let it be known. Not
until this week, she stated, did she
mention it to a human being and
then she told her mother. The affail
occurred about o'clock one morning
when every one in the house was ap-
parently sound asleep. In a broken
manner she told the blows dealt by
the cruel husband Wien nc one was
near to come to her aid.
During the time that the attorneys
were talking Bond looked intently
at them. his face getting very red.
When the sentence was pronounced
he had reached that stage where he
was ready to break down and cry,
and it would have taken but very lit
tie for him to have done so. His lit
tie daughter. who is about fifteen
years of age, cried like her heart
would break when the sentence was
pronounced, and the poor wife also
broke down while the attorneys were
speaking.
Bond never dreamed of such
thing as going to the county roads
and the first intimation he had of
such a punishment was when the
lawyers asked that he be sent to the
roads.
