The subject tonight is the conclus-

young men of the bible. While our
admonation has been to the young mer

admonation to fathers and mothers

gret it, and thus you will gain his cor
fidence.
A father upon one occasion started
to his work, there was some snow upon
the ground. On his way he happened
to look around and he noticed his little
six year old boy walking in his steps.
They persued their course until they
came to saloon. The father walked
in and called for his morning dram the
bar tender leaning over the bar, said
"What will you have, my little man..
and he innocently replied, 81 take what
papa does.
The father for the first time relied
the danger into which he was leading
his boy, showed the glass of liquor back
and said: "Give me water"
Noble resolutions of this kind are
surely communicable in the sight OF
God, and if all fathers would inculcate
these principles it would save many a
heartache and many ruin Of life in
this world. For when habits are once
formed it is no easy matter to unlearn
them.
I appeal to you fathers and mothers
in behalf of your boys and girls.
Do you know where they're spending
their evenings?
Where was your boy last night?
Out upon the streets and back alleys
smoking cigaretts, using vile language
and taking his first drink of intoxicat
ing liquors.
You have become careless of their
welfare, until your girls have become
accustomed to using slang and to as.
scoclate with young men of evil en-
tensions.

dogs than they do of their children,

But when the scraps from the table

all at once greatly concerned. for fear
of some harm that may have befallen
the dog, but never gives thought to

T must give much praise to all the Cutieura Remedies. l used but one cake of Cutieura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, as that was all that was required to cure my disease I was very much trou- bled with eczema of the head, and a friend of mine told me to use the Cuticura Remedies, which I did, and am glad to say that they cured my eczema entirely.

Real Moroceana.

Moor and Morocco are words un- known to the people of that troubled land. These people know themselves as Arabs and descendants of those valiant upholders of the prophets green standard who swept like hood across North Africa at the time of the hegira. The Morocco of the pres ent day they found possessed by a sturdy race who claimed descent from the people who were cast out of Ca naaan by Joshua, the son of Nun. Their country, so far as it's plains were concerned, was taken from them by the Arabs, and their fighting strength was made to serve the Arab cause in the conquest of Spain. They themselves gradually took to the mountains, to the great Atlas. Here they have remained ever since, speak ing their own language, maintaining their own customs and racial attri- butes. and obstinately refusing to be absorbed by the Arab dwellers aE the plains. These people are the Berbers; their tongue is called Shilhah Liter ature they have none, in the ordinary sense of the word. But they have a rich store of oral tradition, myth, le- gend and folklore

BROKE THE DEBRIS BACK.
No,s Freed Hunter Escaped From
 Threatened Death.

Peter Rindernecht, of Camp Bailey, Pa. is still talking of his narrow es- rape from an infurlated deer, which he finally killed in an unusual man aer.
 While the other members of the camp were away on long drive. Pete, finding things slow in camp, decided so do little hunting on his own hook.
 Back of the Hinkle farm he jumped 4 large buck and fired q shot which made flesh wound. The angry deer, lowering it's prongs, made for Pete, who dropped his rife and climbed the nearest tree.
 The deer paved at the tree. snort. ing with rage, and Pete thought it a fine joke until night began to draw near with the buck still on guard.
 Pete yelled for help. but his cries enly echoed through the rayines. Ii was very cold, and the hunter found ehat it would not be long until he would release his hold on the branches and fall to the ground.
 A desperate plan was determined upon. Pete weighs close to 2So pounds, end when the buck. walking around the tree, was directly beneath him, the hunter doubled himself up like ball and dropped.
 He landed right on the bucks back breaking its spinal column and erippling 1t so that the work of killing st 9ith his hunting knife was easy.

PETS FOR LITTLE PARisiANs.
All kinds of Animals as Plsymates for

Children play great role in French society. as all those who have read Gyp's inimitable Pitt Bob" will read fly admit, and now the small Par isienne insists on receiving on her fete day and at the New Year a live pet. instead of a costly doll or a me chanicsl toy. The demand has been creating supply, and lively trade is being done, not only in puppies and kittens. in tiny monkeys and in lambs, but also in tigers and leopards. Up to a certain age, these small felines are quite harmless, and, of course, as soon as they begin, so to speak, to show their teeth and sharpen their claws, they are sent off to one of the two magnificent Zoos" with which the Gay City is provided.

The two things that should have the immediate and careful attention of the members of the Farmers Union are public road building and the public schools. There is no real prosperity in a country which neslects the public roads. there Is no progress without good highways; there is none of the real enjoyment of life without them. The public schools are practically a fraud under the present slipshod maa- ner of management. Many of them are too small, and the pay is too small to tempt a man of worth or ambition to accept them The building of good roads would cause the consolidation of the small weak schools into big and solid institutions of sufficient import anee to attract teachers of merit and experience. Painful though the admis- sion may be. it is fact that nine out of ten country teachers are teaching. not as a profession, but as stepping stone to something more attractive. How can one put real heart into a work that Is only temporary? And without heart in the work. how can really good and effective work 5e done?

He may not be exactly square. and it is possible that at some times he seeks to use the order for his own benefit. but it is at all times meet to remember that you are "in the thing for what 1t is worth to you" If it were not worth anything to you you would get out at the drop of hat, and you would do the dropping, too The only difference between you and the other fellew is the motive. but the ultimate object Is to be benefited.
