certainly one Of the most read

The great problems of civili

as Europe, are presented in a
clear light by great brain
Mr.. Bryan was accompanied

Some Thoughts .Oa Home

The Democrat wishes that
this message could enter every
home in the land, and there lind
a permanent lodging place:
The home should be a place
where a man is always On his
good behavior; our kindest
words, our Pleasantest smiles,
and our most particular 'favOrs,
should be kept to exchange
with our own household. If
we feel in the mood of per-
forming some kind act, let it be
done for the benefit OF our dear
est companion.
Our home should be filled
with pleasant smiles, loving
words and kind acts that the
moment a member enters it the
Sunshine of happiness will beam
from every countenance and a
thrill of Joy fill every heart; in
fact, the home should be to it's
mem mbers the pleasantest spot
on earth. If cross words must
be spoken let them be directed
to the strangers or, better still,
60 into the woods and direct
them to the wild animals, but a
still a better way is to keep the
mind full of good thoughts, and
the hands SO busy performing
kind christian acts that there
will be no room or disposition
to utter them. How can a true
christian speak a cross word to
his wife? He cannot, for harsh
words to our best friends alien
ate US from God. destoy ouI
true christian principles and
make US brutes Jefferson City
