returning peace delegate declares
that drink is the worst enemy Of Eng
land.
1t has been computed that 1,500,-
900 men and women in the United
States are daily. either mentally or
physically, disabled for work as the
result OF drinking.
The man who has taken even small
quantities of alcohol feels that his
brain is remarkably active and capa-
BILE of great thoughts. whereas in
reality his conceptions are ever so
much slower than natural.
II we could sweep intemperance
out Of the land. said Phillips Brooks,
there would be hardly poverty enough
left to give healthy exercise TO the
charitable impulses.
Said John Burns TO an audience OF
workmen in London: II believe that
the best and most simple remedy for
drink is abstjnepce; but this must
be supplemented by local legislative
action.
The difficulty with liquor laws Is
said to be that they are ahead OF pub

The Beauty of Death.

II there is one thing especially OF
which many people cannot possibly
believe that, under any circum-
stances, 1t would seem beautiful,
suppose 1t must mean DEATH That
must always be dreadful. Men sell
dom see any misery in life so great
as to outweigh the misery of leaving
it.
But yet 1t comes to all of us, that
He who made death made 1t, like all
things else. to be beautiful in his
time When a life has lived its days
out in happiness. grown old with
constantly accumulating joys, and
then, at last, before decay has
touched 1t. or the grounds soften un-
der its feet. the door opens, and 1t
enters into the new youth of eternity;
when a young man has tried his pow
ers here and dedicated them to God.
and then is called to the full use of
their perfected strength in the very
presence of the God whom he has
loved; when q man has lived for his
brethren, and the time comes that
his life cannot help them any longer.
but his death can put life into dead
truths, and send enthusiasm into
fainting hearts; when death comes
as a rest to a man who is tired with
long fight, or as victory to man
who leaves his enemies bafiled be-
hind him on the shore of time-in
all these times, is not death beauti-
full?
Nothing in all his life became this
man like leaving it." they said OF
one who died.-Phillips Brooks.

The Incoming Millions.
More than one million immigrants
come to our country every year. They
constitute the most severe problem
with which the government and peo-
pie Of the United States have to deal,
save only the problem of strong drink
OF recent years the current has
greatly changed; fewer Germans. Dng.
lish, Scottish, Irish, Scandinavians,
men of kindred speech and thought,
and vastly more from southern Bu-
rope-ltalians, Hungarians, Poles,
Russians.
In all Of these there is the making
OF splendid citizens, but they are
harder to assimilate. They are largely
Romanists, wonted to more despotic
government and to a lower order Of
civilization.
Well does DR.. Josiah Strong say:
Whether immigrants remain aliens
or become Americans depends less on
them than on ourselves"
Every day, on the average, $500
immigrants are added to our popula-
tion. Think of some town of that
size in your neighborhood. and dou-

In Japan every one. rich or poor,
takes one hot bath day.
Each house possesses a round, bar
rel-like tub, and In 1t the bathef
kneels. The temperature Of the wat
er varies from 110 to 100 degrees
and no Japanese thinks of taking less
than an hour to bathe in.
Before going into the bath pre-
liminary scrubbing takes place, for
which each person is provided with .
brass bowl full Of water and a small
stool to sit on. The bowl is constant
ly refilled with hot water and the
skin thoroughly scrubbed. The body
at last gets so perfectly cleansed that
when its owner steps into the bath
tub the water is not "soiled," SO to
speak.
A Japanese considers his or her
bath before food, and there is no
doubt that the vitality and endurance
OF the Japanese are greatly due TO
their cleaniy habits. The water 10

said that a Japanese woman takes

A Father,s Love.

The wife of young rector In the
West End of London died, leaving
him a motherless child. The peo-
pie hoped that some aunt or sister
would come to care for the child.
but none such appeared. Gradually
It came to be known in the parish that
the scholarly rector was quite as
much at home in the nursery as in
the study and that his child was un-
der his constant watchfulness and
care.
Four years slipped by, and one
Easter Sunday the child sat as usual
in a front pew and listened to the
sermon. 1t was on the mother OF
Jesus-her agony of heart at the
cross, her wonder and Joy at the res
direction. From this he turned to
tell of the sadness of those who feel
the mother want in this world.
Think what a child's life is without
the mother lovel" he said in conclu-
sion. "Who can tend and cherish
and love-who but a mothei?"
In the hush that followed child
ish voice called sweetly from the
front pew: "A faver does ev'y bits
well, papa, dear"
Much has been said in glorification
of the love of a mother. Shall we
forget that the father love is often
quite as deserving of our praise2--

One who repeated to a friend n
word of praise that had been over
heard-a high encomium of his work
and character was somewhat sur
prised at the sudden light that flashed
into the strong face.
Thank you," was the earnest re-
ply. I'm glad you told me that. 1t
is something to live up to-"
There was no vain acceptance of
the commentator as fully merited;
it was only like a bugle call TO high
er service. That is what such words
must always prove to any true and
earnest spirit. They fiash q sharp
contrast between the self that ap-
pears to others. and what the soul
knows of It's own failures and short
comlngs, and humble as no blame
could do; but also they inspire to
fresh courage and effort: they are
something TO live up to-.
"A true friend will tell one his
faults" is saying we often hear.

knowledge OF human nature, will tell
us our virtues. The fact is that in
this busy world of ours. with It's keen
struggle and sharp connection. we
are pretty apt to be told our faults
!y those who are not friends. and to
be brought face to face with ones
mistakes and failures so often that
we sometimes lose hope and courage.
Whoever, has WORD of honest praise
for another should feel that he holds
something which is that others due.
and hasten to pay 1t. The word of
blame may be a goad, but the word
of hearty commentator will be

Let us take time TO be pleasant.

omit because they are small, will

are accumulating, burdeneG father,

swiftly for US all when one touch OF
His hand in the darkness will mean
more than all that is written In the

Mr.. Main is candidate for Commits
sioner of Agriculture, and states to us
that he is not the candidate of any
faction Of the republican party but
depends wholly upon his past record
for the support which he hopes to
have. From what we can learn the
Captain has mighty good past record
to recommend him to the people. He
served two terms in the state senate
as representative from Towner county.
and his work was very apparent and
loyal in that capacity. His special
fitness for the position to which he
now aspires is best evidenced in the
fact that he was in charge Of the
North Dakota exhibit at the st. Louis
Exposition at st. Louis In 1904 and
also of the Portland exhibit in 1905.
These exhibits were both of great
credit to North Dakota and his collec-
ton of grasses, etc. won premiums.

ture in all it's phases and if elected
to the position of Commissioner of
Agriculture there is no doubt but
that the state will profit by his years
of study of the subject. I. I

it was considerably through his efforts
that an appropriation of $4,000 was
