DUTY of Good Citizens.

Home and its protection is the safe
guard of all government. That citi-
zen who has the love of home and
fealty to home interests, is a worthy
representative of a commonwealth. 1t
is the mass of such men that are the
backbone of any community, and,
figuratively. the mainstay and the
rock upon which the nations are
founded. Whoever lives in a COM
munity and fails to support the pub
lie institutions and does not assist in
the building up of Industries that add
to the greatness of that community. is
like an alien. While he lives one
place, his heart is in another. He is
not the ideal citizen. for he is not in
harmony with those who are his
neighbors. 1t is the duty of every
resident of a town or community to do
his utmost to advance its interest.
By thus doing he not alone assists
himself. but his neighbors, his town,
his county. his state and his nation.

MutiIate Art Treasures.

Authorities who have in charge
some OF England's ancient treasures
try to discourage the habit of carving
initials on these relics. A fine of SIS
was recently imposed On a man whn
had Clipped his name in letters six
inches high on one of the stones in the
"Druids' Circle" nea Keswick. Close
to the giant stone globe at Swanage
a special slab Is provided for the
harmless reception of the names of all
who are addicted to this self-advertise-
ment. On popular Alpine SUBMITS
names are left on cards in emptied
wine bottles.

Education,

Intelligence is the distinguishing
mark between the savage and civ.
ilized man. Education is one of the
greatest Of Gods blessings, and ig.
norance a curse. In America there ex-
lists no valid eason why every man,
woman and child Of normal brain
should not have an education. There
is no phase of life where knowledge
is not necessary. In the most progress
sive communities is where the supe-
rio- schools are found. Help along
your town and help along education
in general. BY affording your chill.
dren a chance for a good education,
you offer them riches that cannot be
destroyed; it is ready cash in hand,
assets that one cannot be robbed of
only by act Of Providence.

TO THE ~FARMER-BOY.
His Chances Are Best in His Homo
Town Rather Than In the Big City.

MY boy, the farm is all right. Some
times you may feel that its envifpns
are too narrow for you. its life TOO
much of a humdrum, and that you
would prefer to be one of the residents
of the big city or town. There have
been hundreds and thousands of 9TH
ers just like you. and with just such
ideas. They have started from the
farm buoyant with hope, and after
years have regretted their youthful
resolutions. Others have succeeded:
have won laurels in the professional
field, in business, in Craftsmanship;
but the few who have succeeded thus
are so small in number compared to
the army of failures that there Is lit
tie encouragement for the careful
thinker to leave that which promises
security from want and independence
for a life time. The farmer is surely
the most Independent of all workers.
He is sure to receive a greater re,
ware for his labors, is his own man
ager. and if he will strive diligently
can aspire to a place In the public es-
innate that few a attain in the large
towns.
OF course there are times when 0
think there is almost an ~unbearable
duilness about existence on the farm.
Were you a resident OF the city, there
would be times when you would long
for the quietness and the pleasure that
the farm affords. Hours of work may
be long riding the pillow, or harvesting
the grain. but far superior is the work
than that the great majority of the
city youths are compelled to follow,
and how much greater the compensa'
ton? How would you like to stand
behind the dry goods or grocery coun-
ter from morning to night for the
small wages that the city clerk re-
ceives? Year after year the laborer
lives in cheap boarding houses and
rarely save sufficient to engage in
business. His is. a mere subsistence,
and a constant struggle. The bes
years of life are wasted in making
money for others, while the indus
trious farmer is working for himself.
saving money year after year, and
when the time for rest comes it en-
ables him to take it.
Cities are ~overcrowded with clerk
help. An advertisement inserted in
any daily paper for a clerk to fill any
position will bring hundreds of re-
iponseS. The array of unemployed
and those seeking to better their con,
litions is always large. OF late years
4 large element of workers from cit
les are looking toward the farms for
employment. They realize hat the
arm offers more permanency of occu
alton and greater independence than
like efforts in the city can possibly
afford. Before you concentrate your
attention on employment in city or
town. weigh every matter well, and
hen act according to what reason die
'ates. You will be very likely to con-
clude that the farm is a good enough
place for you, and that you own lit
tie home town is preferable to the
over-crowded city. Remember that
your greatest interests center in
what you call your home town" Do
all you can to assist in it's improve
ment, and make it q betterx business

Grieq as a SchooIboy.

Grieg was not a pattern schoolboy.
In a description Of his days at school
he wrote: Knowing that by arriving
late / would not be allowed to enter
the class until the end of the first
lesson, I used. on wet mornings, 90
stand under a dripping roof, until l was
soaked to the skin. The master then
sent me home to change my clothes.
but the distance being long this was
equivalent to giving me a dispense

this prank pretty often. but when at

THE STORY.


III AIRED nursed within the heart Is
III a slow poison which at last per.
meates all the life. destroying the bet
ter impulses and giving rein to the evil
passions.
So 1t was with Absalom, the hand
some and prepossessing son of King
David. For nearly two years now
there had ranked in his heart the evil
passions which had been aroused when
his beautiful sister lamar had poured
into his sympathetic ear the story of
her grievous wrongs at the hands of
her a lf-brother, Amnon, and certain
it is that time had not softened his
anger, or weakened lis murderous re.
solve.
Day after day he had fed the flame
Of his hatred, and day after day he
had plotted and schemed how he might
compass the destruction Of Amnon
without danger to himself.
Secretly, Absalom rejoiced that he
had found occasion against Amnon.
for with him out of the way Absalom
would be heir to the throne of David.
From his earliest boyhood he could re.
call how his mother had encouraged
him in the hope that some day he
should be heir to the kingdom. His
grandfather Talmai vas king over
Geshur, and why should not he be king
over Israel, and thus unite two strong
kingdoms? Absalom's mother looked
with contempt upon Ahinoam, mother
Of Amnon, for she had no claim to royal
birth. while she, Maacah. was daughter
of the king of Geshur. And this con-
tempt which she had felt for Ahinoam
she had instilled into the heart OF her
son Absalom, SO that he had come to
feel that her son Amnon was quite be.
meath him. This feeling had grown
with the years and there was no pleas
ant intercourse between the half bro
theirs. and as Absalom came to man
hoods estate and the pride and ambi-
tion took complete possession OF his
heart, there grew upon him the feel
ing that somehow Amnon stood in his
way to success; that he was doing
him an injustice.
He had been told too often Of the
charms o. his own person not to be

VIII Not SupplY Pics.

Bacon curers are usually among the
most prosperous firms in Belfast. but
they have had to warn the farmers
throughout the north not to kill any
more pigs until the strikes are settled.
for it is impossible to handle the
cases. Business has thus been divert

although the majority of farmers have
simply respited their pigs and are
making no attempt to supply the mar

In this incident we see the be.
ginning of the fuIfilIment of the
prophecy of Nathan spoken at
the time Of David's great sin,
when he declared that "the sword
shall never depart from thine
house," and "Behold, will
raise up evil against thee out of
thine own house"
The sins Of the fathers are
visited upon the children as the
inevitable outworking of the
natural law of cause and effect.
It is as true to-day as in the
days of David.
David could not violate the
moral law without it's exerting
a hurtfui influence upon the
members OF his household. His
example proved demoralizing.
His yielding to the lusts Of the
flesh encouraged a like induI-
Senee on the part of his own
sons.
Sad is il not to contemplate
such reckless violation Of paren-
tai obligations, and yet how re.
peatedly we see its repetition
to-day. Fathers and mothers
into whose care have come the
little innocent lives forget the
Divineiy imposed obligation and
live to crafty their own selfish
desires. They think to indulge
the secret sin without poisoning
the atmosphere Of the home and
concentrating the lives of their
children. Eut can they2 This
tragedy in the family of David
protests an emphatic NO! And
in~numerable cases which fill the
columns of the papers of the
country daily reiterate over and
owe again the same emphatic
NO!
Does that drinking father ex-
pect his children are not going
to be Influenced by his example?
Does that mother think that she
can abandon herself to the
pleasures of society and indulge
in all manner of excuses and
not have the daughters life
poisoned by the evil example?
Does that father of easy morals,
who is reckless of the sanctity
of another's home, forget that
the monster of vice may enter
his home and claim as a victim,
his daughter, or his son? Why
is it that divorce is increasing
at such 4 terrible rate? Is it
not because children are follow
ing in the footsteps of their di.
vorced parents?
But the sins of parents, while
being a reason, are no excuse
for the sins of children The
example of the parent may have
encouraged the child to like sin.
full indulgence, but it does not
absolve the child from respon.
sibi!ity for his own conduct.
Amnon, the firstborn son Of
David and heir to the throne,
saw his father crafty his lust
full desires at any cost, and why
should not he?
AbsaIom saw David his father
deliberately plot the death of
another, why should not he?
Absaiom, the natural protector
Of his sister, should have seen
that punishment was visited
upon the head Of the wicked
Amnon, but it should have been
strictly within the limits Of the
law. Had he in the heat of pas.
sion at the moment struck Am.

surprising, but for him to har-
