WANDERING THOUGHTS.

AS a man 'thinketh in his heart so is
he. -
First think what to speak and then
speak what you think.
1t is not the man with tongue tied
i'll the middle and loose ut both ends
like a pegcutter that does the best
talking One end must be held down
while the other il in motion.
If you want to find true man be sure
and hunt one that politics or money
won't corrupt
The headache that keeps people away
from the church and does not keep
them away from the lodge is certain
ly mean headache.
The Lord will not answer your prayers
that asks him to do something for
you that you ought to do yourself.
If You want to convert a man to a GER
tain doctrine just make him believe
that it viii benefit his pocket book,
and you have as good as got 'em.
Education is a good thing if it has a
man behind it,. If there is no man
behind it, it is worthless, but if
there is man there there is some
thing good, education or no educa-
tion.
The Bible says ''pray without ceas-
ing" but the majority cease with
ont praying.
The man who Graves to grow rich, and
the man who is too lazy to work are
the first ones to kick at hard times
The word says, be ye not as the
mule" OF course this means not
to kick at everything you see
Ii is often said that 1.-TWO heads are
better than one This may be true
in some things, but we believe it
would be best to knock out one head
of the whiskey barrel.
The doctrine of the immortality of the
soul is taught only in one place in
the Bible and the devil taught that
when he said 'ye shall surely not
die" (Gen. BAD and he has been
whispering this same lie into the
ears of the deluded race ever since.
Great men may use tobacco, but you
must remember that the use of tobac'

The tobacco user is too nervous to take
aim at the drunkard. His gun il

of the game.
The thief that steals your gold watch
and sells it and puts the money il
his pocket is not much worse, il
any, than the courts that take i
from him and keeps it to pay high

the owner the value of his watch.
The law that takes the vagrant from
his family and sentences him to hare
labor from one to two years, taking
his labor from his poor wife ant
children, leaving them on the mercy
of an unfriendly world and apply i
to build highways and salaries o.
officers, is criminal within itsel
and stands i'll great need OF al
amendment.

MARK TWAIN ON MONEY.
Humorist Points Out What He consid-
|. ers Some Wrong Conceptions

Mark Twain said that the financial
panic has caused wrong idea Of the
use and value of money.
THE spendthrift says that money.
being round, was made to roll. The
miser says that, being fiat. 1t was
made to stack up. Both are wrong.
strangely wrong, too, in their ideas
about money are the veteran Aus
tralian gold diggers. These simple
old fellows. though worth perhaps
half million or more, live in the sim
pie dug-outs and shanties OF their lean
early days.
Once. lecturing, landed at an Aus
tralian port. There was no porter in
sight to carry my luggage. Seeing
rough-looking old fellow leaning
against a post with his hands in his
pockets, beckoned to him and said:
"'See here, II you carry these bags
up to the hotel I'll give you half
crown.
THE man scowled at me. He took
three or four gold sovereigns from his
pocket. threw them into the sea,
scowled at me again. and walked away

their descendants of the same name

their present owners may be engaged

The example of the first advertisers
was quickly followed by other saga
cious business men and as the news
papers grew in numbers and influence
the advertisements therein also in.
creased in volume. The process has
been going on steadily until now it is
believed that in no other field of hui
man effort is there so much money
expended as in advertising. In fact
some statisticians estimate that in one
form or another billion dollars are
expended annually on advertising. The
returns from this vast expenditure are
enormous. In manufacturing, mining
and trade of all kinds the advertisers
realize in profits in the aggregate
many millions Of dollars
Publicity brings golden returns to
advertisers. Every successful business
man declares that it is impossible to
build a large and prosperous business
without publicity. Nothing will make
business better than advertising, for
it is verify the advance agent of pros
perity. 1t is an agency that has more
influence than all else on the pros
perlty of the commerce of the world.
1t is business-builder and those who
ignore its potency and do not utilize
its tremendous influence must not ex-
pect to keep at or near the top in
their special line of industry.
