Be Strong.

"Quit yourself like men; be strong"
These are the days when that iniuuc-
tion from Holy Writ is more than
timely. There is a supreme need for
strong men.
Temptation and allurements abound
on every hand. to lead men astray
from the hard path of duty; to weaken
character and sap the energies of
virile manhood. And every day men
are falling from their high estate and
plunging headlong into ways of liv-
ing that can lead only to sorrow and
regret and infamy. Attracted by the
glamor of evil, they see not the hide
BUSINESS oil evil living and the despair
and hop'esness that follow in its wake.
The man who succeeds today in the
face of the tremendous pressure of
competition which meets him at every
turn is the man of strength-moral as
well as physical and intelectual-who
holds himself in check and uses his
oHSlJ ChSiBy III "oIhS bndG .COuuGS'
He does not dissipate his strength
He cannot. To do that means failure.
He must play the part of a man and
do it as strong man should.
The last year has witnessed the fall
OF many men from high positions of
trust and power simply because they
did not heed the call to action and the
implied warning contained in this old
biblical injunction. They did not
"quit themselves like men," They
were not strong. They permitted self
ishness and greed to rule their lives
and turn their strength into weakness.
There is nothing more truly sad IN
all the world than the spectacle of men
of great natural strength of mind and
soul wasting it all in lives of useless
ness and dissipation. They might be
kings among men if they only would
But they choose the primrose path
and go down through failure and
shame and dishonor to the Oblivion
that awaits all men of their class. 1t
is a great pity and a great loss to
society.
There is no need to cite illustration
of this. Every day the newspapers
chronicle them. They are to be seen
in every city and village. They teach
in striking manner the inevitable con-
sequence of wrong doing
BE men; be strong. That injunc-
ton, with all its Implications, contains
the true philosophy of life .-Milwau-

A MAN OF LETTERS.
Rare Brcvfty md Beauty of Lincoin's
More Notable Addresses

Nothing would have amazed Mr..
Lincoln more than to hear himself
called man of letters. and yet 1t
would be hard to find in all literature
anything to excel the breyity and beau
ty Of his address at Gettysburg or the
lofty grandeur of his second inaugural.
In Europe his style has been called a
model for the study and imitation of
princes, while in our own country
many of his phrases have already pass
ed into the daily speech of mankind.
His gift Of putting things simply and
clearly was partly the habit of his own
clear mind and partly the result of the
training he gave himself in days of
boyish poverty when paper and ink
were luXuries almost beyond his reach
and the words he wished to set down
must be the best words and the clear
est and shortest to express the ideas
he had in view. This training of
thought before expression, Of knowing
exactly what he wished to say before
saying 1t, stood him in good stead all
his life, but only the mind of great
man with lofty soul and a poets
vision. one who had suffered deeply
and felt keenly, who carried the bur
den of n nation on his heart, whose
sympathies were as broad and whose
kindness was as great as his moral
purpose was strong and firm, could
have written the deep, forceful, con-
Vincing words that fell from his pen
in the later years of his life 1t was
the life he lived, the noble aim that
upheld him, as well as the genius with
which he was born that made him one
of the greatest writer's of our time

No Place For GrumbIers,

A man who stands on the street cor

the government should be run, cursing
the town, finding fault with his grand
mother because she was woman,
claiming that the merchants are lot
of thieves, that the lawyers and news
paper men would skin man to fin
ish and whole lot more, Is a nuisance
and an abominatlon. Any town pes
tered with one or more such worthless
would be justified in exercising cow
hide authority on the bosom of their
trousers. No one is obliged to live
where he Is not suited. If things don't

Orange blossoms.

Much uncertainty exists as to why
the orange blossom has been so much
worn by brides, but the general opin-
ion seems to be that 1t was adopted
as an emblem of fruitfulness. Accord
ing to some authorities. the practice
has been derived from the Slracens,
among whom the orange blossom was
regarded as n symbol of prosperous
marriage, circumstance which Is
partly to be accounted for by the fact
that in the east the orange tree bears
ripe fruit and blossoms at the same
time.

AN ODD DUEL.
II Introduced n Frenchman TO the
Possibilities of Baseball.

Possibilities of Baseball
A Frenchman challenged an Amer
lean to fight. The American, q husky
six footer from Yale, who had pitched
on the baseball team and stroked the
crew, was loath to accept and took the
matter as something of a joke The
count pressed his desire for satisfac-
ton, and at last the son of old Eli CON
sentcd to meet him, STIMULATING that he
should choose his own weapons. Sec
onds were agreed upon, and the mode
Of combat chosen by the American was
baseballs at twenty PAGES. 1t was
dangerously close range for man who
spent three years twirling inshoots
and outdrops over u twelve inch plate
and likely to be a pretty accurate shot
with baseball, but the Frenchman
was game, and they met on the out
skirts of the city at daybreak.
Each was to have three shots, and
privilege of leading off. Perhaps he
had never seen a baseball before, and,
at any rate, the man from Yale had no
difficulty in lodging the adamantine
spheres which the son of Belle France
sent scaling in his direction.
Then the American opened fire. The
first ball grazed the Frenchman's
shoulder the second lodged in the pit
of his stomach and the third, an in
shoot, caught him full on the point of
the chin. He went down and out and
never challenged another American cit
