Tired Of Living,

An editor got tired of lying about
deceased delinquents in his obituar-
les and wrote the following about
an old sinner who owed him several
years back pay:
Died-Aged fifty-six years, six
months and fifteen days. Deceased
was a mild hammered pirate, with a
mouth for whiskey and an eye Tor
Doodle He owed us seven dollars on
the paper. You could hear him pray
six blocks. He died singing Jesus
Paid 1t AL" and we thing he Is
right as he never paid anything
himself. He was buried in an ashes
tos casket and his friends threw
palm fans into his grave, as he may
need them. His tombstone will be a
favorite resting place for boot owls.

THE PUBLIC SPIRIT.


When men associate together and
form themselves into corporate emit
ties, we speak OF such aggregate bod
les as artificial persons and clothe
them with personal attributes, anal
ogous to those belonging and APP
pertaining to natural persons Espec-
tally does this apply to bodies polite,
municipal, state and national. These
are said to be good, bad or 1nd1f-
ferent, as the case may be or seem
to be. We speak of town. city,
state or nation, as We do OF natural
persons. as for instance, her wealth,
her population and prosperity, her
laws, her domestic and foreign al
fairs and policies, etc, etc. 1t comes
about In this way that We speak OF
the pluck of a town, the spirit Of a
city, the pride of state or the honor
of nation. Hence we speak of the
public spirited man or citizen, as of
one whose interest in public con-
Germs rises to pitch which marks
him as one peculiarly interested In
all matters affecting the community
of which he Is member or in which
he operates some public service
utility. The real and true public
spirit regards the united interests OF
the people of the community, as par
amount to any merely private
scheme or to any mere personal gain.
The public spirited man, If not abb
solutely altruistic, will, in determin-
ing any matter of personal and pri-
vate gain, from any proposed meas
ure or enterprise, consider, as the
weightier matter the public good
where there is any conflict between
private profit and public prosperity,
For, after all, the intelligent promo
ter of any public institution, who ex-
poets to reap incidental private prof
it therefrom, we'll knows that In gem
eral and ultimate results the ratio
of his private benefit must be con-
trolled by the greater and determin-
ing general profit accruing to the
whole community from the given
enterprise. For the individual and
his private interest have become part
and parcel of the larger corporate
person and its interest--that is, the
general public. And any private or
personal gain coming to him. the
private individual, which results in
Getriment to the general public of
which he is an integral part must,
inevitably, rebound to his injury,
proportionately The aphorism that.
characterization is the first law Of
nature. finds fulfillment here. The
public spirit recognizes that NO
man liveth to himself" the service
| is the highest contribution that can
ever be rendered to his fellowmen,
| by him, as he lives and moves and
has his being, in home, city state
| and nation And the highest tribute
| that any community or common
wealth can ever pay to any man, at
| ter all, is the statement that in him
| dwelt a genuine, true and noble
! public spirit.-Greenville Herald.
