SAFEGUARD THE HOME
GOOD CITIZENS ARE THE BuL.
WARk OF THE NATION.
EDUCATION AND PROTECTION
TWO Vital Things to Be Considered by
Those Who Would See the
Greatest Progress and
Advancement.

Where is found the greatest ad-
vancement and civilization there is
also found among the people the high
est type of fealty and love of home.
The American homes are the most
substantial pillars of the nations
greatness, and in American citizen
ship is found the bulwark of our re-
publican government.
Where the home life is ideal. there
Is found genuine patriotism which is
always commensurate with the en-
~lightenment and the domestic happi-
ness of the people. How important it
Is then that every safeguard be
thrown about the home, which is the
hotbed where are produced for devel-
opment all the strength that is neces-
sary for the perpetuation of a govern
ment and the maintenance of a ma
tons greatness.
II student who will study into
conditions of the countries that are
continually wrecked by internal tur-
MOL, such as Russia and the Central
American republics, will discover the
homes are far from ideal homes. and
n a there is an absence of the love
or country that should be found in the
hearts OF its citizens. There is a duty
that involves. upon all, and which is
due to the generations growing and to
come. The duty is to surround the
home with such environments as will
make it attractive and develop in the
growing youth the highest qualities of
manhood and womanhood. Where the
people are oppressed by monarchy
and feudalism there is no incentive to
develop the highest state of home life.
In America where all are upon an
equal plane and opportunities are
open to every citizen, and where the
people are C u in their rights to
homes, there is every reason why
each n should make the greatest en-
deavor to found for himself and his
progeny a residence place that will
be sure from intrusion and be an in
centive to higher mental and social
development.
Education is all important and no
other country in the world offers to
all such glorious advantages to re-
ceive enlightenment as does the Unit
ed States. 1t is important that the
home be located near good schools.
Good schools are generally found
where there are good homes and good
towns. The quality of citizenship of a
community can generally be gagged by
the standard of its educational insti.
tutionS. 1t is important to the home
builder that the town wherein he is To-
Gated or which he may reside near,
be a progressive place. And the bet
ter that this town be, the better will
be its educational facilities for the
youth. 1t is essential to the greatest
good OF a community that it be real
lied by all residing within it that the
more wealthy it can be made, the
greater will be it's advantages both as
to education and otherwise. By sup
port to home institutions the home is
made better in every way. Patriotic
citizens will make it their first aim to
be loyal to their own home interests
and then their state and nation. One
who is loyal to home is generally
faithful in the performance of all the
duties that good citizenship implies.

TREATMENT INDUCED A CHILL.
Remedy Given in Hospital Tent Must
Have Been Pleasant.

The captain tells a story which runs
something like this: In camp one
morning the first sergeant reported
that Private B had a chill. rs it
a serious one?" asked the captain.
We'll, sir, 1 don't know just how seri-
Gus it is, but it's a big one, for it
seems to be all over him, and he
weighs 200 pounds. On seeing him
the captain found him looking rather
blue, and instructed the first sergeant
to send him to the surgeon in charge
of a corporal.
Soon after breakfast the captain
saw the corporal and asked him how
the man was getting on. "Oh, he's
all right now" was the reply, 81 took
him up to the hospital tent, and when
I saw what kind of medicine the doc
or gave him l had a chill too."-Army
and Navy Life.

a Hose Hint.

In the blush dusk of the mild, sweet
May evening the suburbanite squirted
the hose gravely.
Look here" said a florist, mo won
der your grass and shrubbery don't
thrive. That is no way to water them.
Hold the hose high. Don't aim it at
them like a gun, man."
"No?" said the other. "Why not?"
Because" said the florist, grass
and flowers must be watered as nature
does it. You must initiate rain with
your hose. That's the idea. Up in the
air with it. Point it toward the sky.
Let the spray descend gently in a
shower. Now you'll get results"

"You ought to be contented and
not pine for your old home, Bridget"
said the lady of the house. "You are

"Yis, num-" sadly replied Bridget;

Adulterated Eoodstuffs.

Recentlysa number of samples of
coffee, extracts and canned goods
sent out by a premium giving concern
were examined by chemists in Mis-
souri, and in South Dakota and found
to be greatly adulterated. These goods
were sold at prices as high as the
local grocers charge for the best class
of articles. Those who are careful of
health should not buy foodstuff that
comes from the mail order houses, or
from the premium giving concerns.

KILLING the Small Towns.

1t is impossible to build up towns
without there being business to en-
ploy the people who reside in them.
The mail order system of doing bust
ness is killing off the small town, and
as a result the farmers residing near
them suffer by having a poor market,
and poor schools and other blessings
of the kind that go with the live town.
Not alone this but farm values are
kept down.

discovered a spider which practices
fishing at times. In shallow places it
spins between stones a two-winged,

work well is shown by the numerous
shriveled skins Of little creatures that
lie about In the web net.

Practical Points.

Eating and drinking are mentioned
merely because Paul had been talking
about them; the principle he lays
down here applies to all life. "The
modern idea Of some acts being re.
ligious and some secular is neither
here o elsewhere recognized by st.
Paul."-Ellicott.
This principle Of doing everything
to the glory of God, would put a
speedy end to the sale and the use
of intoxicants. Could any one run a
saloon to the glory of God? Could
any one get drunk to Gods glory, or
even, to Gods glory, tipple a little?

JOSS TELLS WHY
PITCHERS DON'T HIT

One OF the oft-repeated questions that
arise in all base ball discussions is
''why can't pitchers hit:" says Addie Joss
in a Cleveland paper. This problem is
one that the students OF the game have
been wrestling with for a good many
years, and while there have been many
reasons given. still no one has ever been
able to make 1t exactly clear.
of course, the rule doesn't hold good in
all cases. as there are number of twirl-
ers who can pound the leather about as
hard as the men who are in the game
every day. but these cases are few and
far between. After seeing such men as
Killian Orth. Tannehill and Muilin of
the American League, who are rafting
good st!ckers at the bat. one wonders why
il is that the other men that make pitch
ing an art don't hit harder than they do
nevertheless the fact remains the same
that as a rule. the pitcher doesn't break
up many games with the stick.
To one who has never been connected
with the game. from the standpoint OF
the player Il would seem that he of all
the rest of the players should be able to
hit Being a twirler himself II is con-
tended that he should be able to know
about what the opposing pitcher was go
ing to pitch and, being aware of this,
should be able to hit It a mile. But here

walters men whom they have often walked
after over the fields with their bags slung
over their shoulders. The clubhouse at
Mobiles was nicely festooned for the occa-

shortage OF walters and the eagerness of
the caddies for more turkey. cranberry
and mince pies While the millionaire
walters did not wear white aprons or
Tuxedo coats Of alpaca. yet they scurried
about from table to table as the boys
cleaned up the meats and sweets.

SAW SUBMARINE VOLCANO.
Sea Convulsed 600 Miles West Of
Cape Verde Islands.

GALVESTON. December 24.-The crew
Of the British steamship Rollesby. just
into this port from Buenos Ayres, reports
the eruption Of a submarine volcano about
600 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands.
in latitude 17.43. and longitude 3755. The
phenomenon was witnessed between 1870
and o'clock in the morning of Novem-
Der %.
The weather was clear and a smooth
sea was running. when a terrific explosion
was heard. and in few seconds column
of water shot into the air nearly 80 feet
high. A heavy vapor or smoke rose above
the water. and for an instant hid from
view the geyser which appeared to be
spouting hot lava or stones
. Quickly following the explosion the wa
ter within a radius of a mile was whipped
into a wild sea, and within radius of
half mile Of the eruption it appeared to
be boiling.
The column of water. according to Capt
w. Mckenzie, appeared to be fifty feet in
circumference, and schools of dead FISH
were seen floating in the water. The
Rollesby steamed under full speed to the
north west and the crew watched the
disturbance for over an hour. Capt. Nc
Kenzie says for two hours detonations
could be heard.
