in motion the wheel on whicl
thought swiftly rides. That va

your school days or the old home

meadows and tufted pastures
through shady groves; to youl
favOrite seat on some messy bank
that was kept green by. a little
brook that babbled by it; to the
swing under the great maple that
used to stand in the yard and by
and by you go quietly to the draw
er and take out little square case
just large enough to hold treasure,
open it and gaze thoughtfully on a
picture. Then you feel something
rising from the heart, and pearly
tear steals slyly down your cheek.
No one saw it; you saw no one;
yet you felt that you had met
loved one; saw a smile upon the
lip that had often returned your
caresses. You put away the pic
ture and go about your regular du-
ties happier, better for having thus
seen and felt some of the joys of
the past.
One of the oldest books in exis-
tence is collection of proverbs by
Ptahbotop, an Egyptian, who lived
sometime about the time of Abra-
ham. Among his injunctions is
the following, which we commend
to the writer's on woman's emanci-
patton, domestic economy, and 9TH

IF thou be wise,
furnish thy house well; woo thy
wife and do not quarrel with her;
nourish her; deck her out, for fine
dress is her greatest delight. Pur-
pose to make her glad as long as
thou livest. She is a blessing
which her possessor should treat as
becomes his own standing. Be not
unkind to her."
This counsel is none the less USE
full at the present day, because
$500 years have elapsed since it
was given.
Young men, did you ever think

Where we see hundreds of people
drifting hither and thither at the
beck of every odd invitation, and
reflect how few of them will ever
lift themselves out of mediocrity,
and achieve anything noteworthy,
either within or without, we see
plainly what is wanted. 1t is less
subsection to tickle impulses and
chance lures, more sensibility to
great prizes, with a girded resolu-
tion to toll heroically for them in
that solitude of the soul where the
father of spirits seeth in secret
without mistake, and rewardeth
openly without fail.

NIGHT SCHOOL OPENS
TOMORROW EVENING
Expected That Enrolment
viii Be Ldrge-IS Alb
SOlutely Free.
(From Wednesdays Daily.D

The young people of Watertown
who are not privileged to attend the
public schools or parochial schools,
should bear in mind that the public
night school will open tomorrow
Thursday evening in the commercial
rom at the High school building.
All those wishing to enter into the
work should atterd the first night and
remember that the benefits to be
derived are absolutely free. The school
will be under the. supervision of W.
P. Roseman, city superintendent,
assisted by three of the male teachers
of thu. High school. This is an excel
lent opportunity and The Leader
sincerely hopes that the young people
of the CITY who are not afforded
chance to attend school, will taKe
advantage of it. The enrolment on
the first night should be large and a
big increase over what 1T was last
winter. The night school last year
was a great success and 1t promises
70 be even greater this year.

IN GOD We TRUST"
DROPPED FROM COIN
Probably Due to Conscience
PriCking of Men of Fren-
Zied Finance.

Can 1t be that the nancy powers OF
the natiun is so sensitive that it pricks
the ir conscience to have "In God We
Trust on coins of denominations
above the silver dollar. 1t may not
be generally known but in the coinage
uf late, this inspiring quotation has
been dropped. A resolution of protest
against dropping the words elm God
we trust" from the new gold eagle
was introduced by the Rev. William
J. Peck, pastor of the Union Presby-
terrain church of Corona, L. l., and
excited no little discussion among the
Presbyterian ministers at their meet
ing in the Presbyterian building Sun
day.
The question of the constitutionality
of the church taking such action,
which, it is said, might be constructed
as mixing in politics, aroused discus
sion, ano it was finally decided to lay
the resolution on the table until the
next meeting.
