Young man, let us give you the ben
eft of our observation. We have
noticed that at least nine-tenthS of
the young men who have been before
the courts for misdemeanorS are those
who take no interest whatever in ed
uca ton, seldom read a newspaper, and
are always ready to make fun of other
young men who use correct language
and try to be somebody. 1t comes
natural to them TO discourage the
studious and ambitious young men of
their acquaintance. Their minds run
toward dirty stories, midnight sprees
and bad company. This in a short
time means trouble, a sheriff's invi.
tation to attend court, and fine OF
| term in Jail.

Criticism is medicine that some
times kills, but often cures. 1t cured
Lord Byron Of some Of his early fol-
bles and. lordly conceit, and it is said
to have killed John Keats, an over
sensitive young poet. But taken as a
whole, criticism is good thing if
wisely directed and properly admin
istered. 1t corrects errors, cultivateS
taste, and conducts the world in the
right paths to the attainment of the
most substantial good to the greatest
number.

IF ONLY HAD CAPITAL.

The above words were recently ut
tered in our hearing by worthy boy
and undoubtedly they are often reiter-
ated by many who are out of employ
ment, or have little or nothing to do.
To all such we say, you have home
capital, you have hands, feet, bone,
muscle, health and are not these Cap
ital? What more capital has God
given anybody? "But if I only had a
few thousandin cash capital" says
the young man. But these are better
than cash capital, for no one can take
them from you, and with these you
can earn cash.
Our men of wealth and influence did
not start with any cash capital. They
went to work with their pillow, the
hoe, the jack plane or ak, and in time
their capital brought them rich har-
vest. All! but there's the rub; you
don't want to work. You want money

by playing vagabond. You want tC
marry rich girl who will support
you, while you wear fine clothes, smoke
cigars and be a gentleman of leisure
Shame on you, young man! Go tc
work with the capital you have and
you will soon make interest enough
upon it TO give you as much money as
you need. If you cannot make money
upon what capital you have, you
could not if you had larger amount
in cash. If you waste your present
capital you would waste money if you
had it. So don't stand around, a
great helpless fellow, waiting for
something to turn up, but go to work.
Take the first work you can get to do
and do it we'll. Always do your best.
and if you manage your capital that
God has given you, we'll, you will soon
have plenty more to manage.

compared with the destruction by fire
and wasteful numbering. 1t is es-
timated that 100000 Christmas trees
are used in this country each year,
one in each fourth family. If planted
four feet apart these could be grown
on less than 400 acres. good-sized
farm.
'TreeS suitable for Christmas use
do not grow in the old forests, where
reproduction is most important, but
in the open. Even if serious denuda-
tion were threatened, the proper
remedy would not be to stop using
the trees but to adopt wiser methods. -"
That the use of Christmas trees is
not harmful is proven IN Germany
where they have a highly developed
forest protection. Scarcely hut
does not have its tree, yet the cutting
of small evergreens is not considered
a menace but rather an improvement
to forest.
New York City and the New Eng
land states use nearly one-half the
trees cut yearly. The Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota swamps furnish
the markets of Milwaukee, Chicago,
Detroit and the Twin Cities.
