Be All Honest.

Milwaukee Journal: There is often
too wide a latitude given to mental
reservations, too much sophistical
justification of the white lie" 1t Is
pleasant to make agreeable state
ments, but they should not be untruth-
full. A person can usually avoid the
expression of disagreeable, unkind or
brutal truths, but if one is Obliged TO
give an opinion, let it be an honest
one and, if likely to hurt the feelings
of another let it be put in as kindly,
conslderate words as possible. one
way to be sincere and at the same
time kindly is to cultivate kindly feel
ing toward all and to consider all the
circumstances in judging the conduct
of others.
1t IS often difficult to decide when
one is Justified in swervlng from the
exact truth. Some have a tendency
to say the agreeable thing because 1t
is the easiest thing to say. Better TO
keep silence than TO be insincere.
Honesty is demanded everywhere
There was never a time when honesty
in politics was more needed than now
when graft" is a collOquial byword
and falsehOod trite term Of reproach.
Honesty is wanted in business, too,
for those who hold that business hon
esty is only that which the law com
pels have already brought shame up
on business. He who is honest, no.
matter what his status or calling,
keeps the spirit of the law and not the
letter only.
Watch yourself to see that you
form habits of honesty in thought and
in act. Make integrity an inherent
trait in your character. Be honest
honest with yourself and with others.
1t is the one need of our country
above all other neutrality-suspicious.
in public and private life.

speak to you ia candor if [ said that
| thought he was drawer than the sol
diers of other nations. [ will never
believe that simple yalor is d pecul-
iarly American product. But the
American volunteer does differ in
these respects: He has never gone
forth to war for military conquest and
glory alone and he has always known
what he was fighting for. This love
of military glory and conquest drove
Napoleon and his soldiers on from
victory to victory until it seemed as if
the world was won and that the lilies
of France should waive over all man
kind; but the God OF battles did not
deem it wise that one nation, one race
or one man should rule other men, and
the end of Napoleon's and dreams was
Waterloo and the lonely Island of st.
Helena. When be fell the puppet
thrones that he set up fell with him
and no legacy has come from him and
all his wars, glories and triumphs ex-
cept the weeping OF women and the
cries of children, whose natural pro-
tectors gave up their lives that his
glory advanced. 1t was this same
love of military glory and conquest
which but ten short years ago set all
of England's power and might at the
throats of the Dutch Republic, of
South Africa, and the war that result
ed shocked humanity in it's cost in life
and treasure. But the American vol
unteer has never gone forth to battle
for this mere love of conquest. His
mission has always been constructive
and not destructive. His has always
been the spirit described by Kipling
when that master singer wrote his
poem called "Kitchener's School"
- The American volunteer crushed
human slavery upon this continent and
when the work was done he went home
and the change came. The fearless
soldier became the fearless citizen.
Great stateman, diplomats and mas
tiers of government in Europe declared
that it would be impossible to disband
our numerous volunteer army in 1865,
and that when we attempted it, the
greatest disorders would follow, and
that the republic would not survive it.
But the American volunteer went back
to his citizens life again as simply
and as 0Dietly as anV work man goes
back home when his days work is
done"
Mr.. Priestley then spoke of the re-
cent war with Spain and it's results,
and closed with a promise to the
G. A. r. that their worth and deeds
would always be remembered and that
the future was safe in the hands of
the American Volunteer.

PRACTICAL PREPARATION
FOR A USEFUL VOCATION
4 Sound Education Offered By
The State.

No occupation or profession gives
opportunity to do genuine service for
our state and nation than does the
vocation of teaching. The earnest
and worthy teacher can always count
upon the respect, the confidence, and
the good will of the best people Of his
district, for the influence of strong
school is quickly felt throughout the
entire community. People gladly pay
good wages to the trained teacher who
has demonstrated his power to make
a school that vitality touches the home
life of the children and that makes
them take civic interest and pride in
the welfare of their town, village, or
rural district. Wisconsin needs a far
larger supply of trained teachers than
the seven normal schools are now
furnishing.
The young men who have graduated
from the Platteville State Normal
during the past three years are now
earning salaries ranging from six
hundred to eleven hundred dollars per
year, altho the majority of them
started to work without previous ex-
perience; and the young women readi-
Iy secure good places at an initial
salary of from four to six hundred
dollars. Two young women who
graduated two years ago are now each
earning more than thousand year.
New classes will be formed at the
opening of the second semester, Mon
day, January %. This is an excellent
time for young men and women to
enter the school. Write today for
further Information.

The First Sabbath School Began
in "Sooty Alley"


"Bobby Wild Goose and his rag
ged regiment" was the name hooted
after Robert Raikes, the first modern
Sunday-school advocate, and his
scholars. The thoroughfare was
''Sooty Alley" and the scholars were
the ragged boys who toi!ed in the pin
factories of Gloucester, England.
Robert Raikes paid Mrs. Brandon, a
poor woman, one shilling each Sun
day 20 teach the boys the Bible. That
was in 1870 Four years later there
were 250, 900 boys and girls attending
Sunday-school in the kingdom.
To-day the Sunday-school hour in
city or village, the civilized world
over, resembles LiIliputian land on
dress parade. Streets leading to
churches are bonny with lads and
lassies, not ragged, but dressed in
their best. going happily to hear the
wond 'rous story. Thousands now do
the work Robert Raikes started.
One of the greatest factors in devel-
oping the Sunday-sch in America
is the Sunday School Union, Mr.. E.
P. Bancroft is the present secretary.
This organization has been laboring
in the field for ninety-oRe years. Last
year it established 1878 new Sunday
schools in destitute places and reor-
ganized 724, a total OF , 02 set in OPP
Grafton, with 102 ,034 members. The
| society employed 297 missionaries.
1t received S215, 613 and spent 500, oil.
| Besides the work of this organization,
each denomination has its own missi-
| onaries in the field recruiting for its
! Sunday-schools. How 100 Sunday
Schools Have Succeeded, - in the jan
uary Delineator.

farming communities. Supt. George
Mcherrow of the farmers institutes
told OF the interest in better roads,
parcels post, postal savings banks,
and improved trade relations with
foreign countries using American
meats, especially Germany. He en-
phaslzed the fact that farm homes of
the state have improved rapidly dur
ing recent years.
Ex-GoV. W. D. Hoard summed up
the need of better education in rural
schools, stating that the entire prob
lem in rural Improvement, both econ
omic and social, hinged upon this
question. President Van Hise of the
university emphasize the need of or
gained social Improvement in the
country, and State Supt. G. P. Cary
reviewed progress in Wisconsin in
teaching agriculture in the rural
schools, and urged the need of teach
ers better trained in the elements of
agriculture. Miss L. E. Stearns of
the Free Library Commission gave in
teresting testimony on the helpful in
fuence of women's clubs throughout
the state, and urged the commission to
ask for better roads and unlimited
parcel posts. A number of farmers
and representative of state oranges al
so spoke.
In summing up the evidence, Mr..
Bailey said he gathered that Wiscon-
sin favored Improvement of roads
with federal aid, parcels post, postal
savings banks, and improved rural
delivery service.

The Country Life Commission.

The Wisconsin hearing of the
Country Life Commission held at the
University of Wisconsin College of
Agriculture was pronounced by
Chairman L. H. Bailey as one of the
most enthusiastic and helpful that the
Commission has yet held. During the
two sessions pointed talks were given
by those most familiar with rural life
in the state, showing the needs of the
