Virtue In PaniCs.

Real prosperity is a good thing
all must admit. By this is meant
that sort of good times that affect
all the people. But there is an
old saying that we can get too
much of a good thing" The
latter being true it is a conclu-
sion also that virtue may be
found in panic. If we may
venture at this early hour after
the passing of the recent furry,
to observe that it is an "ill-wind
tnat blows nobody good. +" In
other words a good lesson is
taught in the events of the past
two weeks which may partly be
stated under these heads:
/ Conservatism is firmly and
emphatically impressed on the
minds of the people Men may
for a time forget that conserva-
tism has saved the world, GER
tainly it has upheld human So
ciety and the governments of
mankind. The madness and
greed of some men lead them to
all manner of excesses, and in
their frenzy for gain they know
no limitations. II was high time
that a halt should be called to
give time for consideration and
rest. One wise man said there
is something better than money
in this life.
q There is taught also the
value of confidence. The very
fabric which we call govern
ment, is built upon confidence,
the trust that men repose in
one another. Lacking this,
there is no conference in human
society; no cooperation, no con-
fidence, no dependence, and we
tend toward anarchy. This ne
cessity for inter-dependence ram
ifies every line of human action
and affects every agency for hu'
man good. We even stamp or
our dollars the inscription which
is the corner stone to all our in.
stitutions: I'm God we Trust.
How significant and how potent
is this in times that try mems
faith,

The Salt Sea

Children,s answers are always
a fruitful amusemet. A girl fifteen
or sixteen years old who had re-
ceived what was supposed to be a
good education was describing
to me her recent visit to the
Tower of London. Among the
many wonders she had seen was
a sword given to Henry VII.
by Max Muller, an amusing
through net altogether unnatural
substitute for the Emperor Max
imilian. If children are allowed
to think for themselves their an
swers are amusingly original.
What do you think makes the
sea salt?" was a question put to
a national school class. Brilliant
idea struck a boy. Please, sir,
the 'errings. ."-Cornhill Maga-
zine.

8. We should curtail, if not
eliminate the element of chance,
especially in our buiness life. n
vestments need to be re-invested
with ordinary safeguards. Lax
ity of methods that obtain a per-
iod of prosperity ought to be
eliminated.
In brief, a period of tenseneas
that has passed will not only
have a tendency to stop the
madness of stock watering in
New York, but it will give all
business interests greater de-
gree of conservatism and in
creased confidence, an l all busi.
ness will be on a better founda-
ton. -Vincennes Sun.

An lInlOaded Gun.

With what he thought to be
an unloaded gun the twelve-year-
old son of Thomas Bowen, of
West Durham, wounded his sis
ter, Mary, by discharging a load
of bird shot into her shoulder and
breast. This occurred last Mon
day morning.
The boy had the gun around
in the house and was playfully
pointing it toward his sister, who
warned him not to do so, but the
mother of the boy said that the
gun was not loaded and the boy
continued his playing. The re-
port of the gun was the first in
timation that it was loaded that
those in the house had. 1t was
learned from the father that he
had loaded the gun for the pur-
pose of killing a cat that had
been prowling around the house.
Miss Bowen was carried to
Watts hospital, where she was
given medical attention, and
when last heard from was get
ting along as well as could be ex-
pected.
