Using Profane Langua age: Using
profane language is one of the most
frequent and useless habits that the
average man, and some women. are
addicted to. 1t is purely a habit, and
one from which nothing is to be gain
ed, and one that most anyone could
quit if he wanted to. This is evil
denced by the fact that anyone who
makes any pretense at being a gentle
man, manages to refrain from swear
ing in the presence of ladies, which
shows that he could give up the prac.
tice at all times If he would.-Newton

Advice to Young Men: A young
man who is content to simply drift
with the stream is to be pitied. He
has no well defined object in life, no
purpose, no ambition. He drifts
through school and acquires smat
tering of knowledge that proves of no
practical benefit in the problem of
life; he drifts around town waiting for
something to turn up. With no profess
sion, no trade or special occupation he
sits idly by while the business world
is eagerly looking for young men who
know something and know that some
thing well. 1t is an age of specialists
and Jack of all trades never rises
above mediocrity. The boy that starts
| out with the idea that he is going to
get along somehow" has little idea
of the possibilities and responsible
ties of life. and scrambles through a
sordid, makeshift existence shorn of
everything that makes life worth liv-
ing. 1t is impossible to drift with the
stream and grasp the prizes because
the stream always runs down hill and
the current is swift and strong. Boys
be ambitious; have an aim and get
out of the rut of Somehow" that leads
to nowhere.-Deer Creek Pilot.

Gulfport now has only five saloons,

into effect. Canton has about become
