THE DUTY OF MIR. GOOD CITIZEN

Ii is duty OF first Importance
that every good citizen should ex-
crcise that right of suffrage CON
iArred upon him. Government is but
the voice of an aggregation of in
dividuals and should reflect the in
terests and intelligence of those who
participate in it by the exercise Of
the ballot. No man has a right TO
say that he is not interested in poli-
ties, unless he is impervious to the
demands Of his government. Moth
ing is truer than that any govern
ment reflects the ideas of those who
participate in it. Officials who are
elected by intelligent, high-minled
and conscientious citizens will feel
themselves in duty bound to dis
charge their official duties in a way
commensurate to the electorate
which place them in power. When
he good citizens fal to interest
themselves in political matters they
surrender to the politicians who 90

fishes. Let every good man exer-
else his right of suffrage consci-
antiously and in a way that Will

nunity.

On one occasion President Lincoln

One day Secretary Seward, who was

seen to turn out in the mud to give n

o&o1atU DFcakfH0.
In the early days OF New England it
was the custom to keep the Sabbath
from shutdown Saturday night until
the same hour on Sunday. That this
practice was attended by pitfalls Is
shown by an incident told In THE Pa
pers or the Connecticut Valley Histor-
lcal Society"
There lived In Ryefeld thrifty
dame. an enterprislng. driving woman
and notable housewife. The good wo-
man was not willing to lose Sunday
evenings out OF her catalogue OF house
work. but she was pIous wlthal and
strictly kept the day to the sunset
limit. AS soon as the sun was fairly
below the horizon she would begin her
washing and get her clothes ready for
drying bright and early on Monday
morning.
One cloudy Sunday she. supposing
the day was ended. changed her Sun
day gown. rolled up her sleeves and
went TO work. AS she was scrubbing
away I'm the kitchen. her face toward
the west window. the clouds suddenly
broke. and the great round sun shone
In full on the poor Sabbath breaker at
work. She gave one cry Of amazement
and horror and fed the kitchen.
After that sinful day she never be-
gan her work on Sunday evening.
