Say Nothing.

(Selected.)
If you cannot speak good of the 9th
ers on earth,
Say nothing,
If your words can't replace melan-
choly with nirth,
Say nothing.
Ere you start out exposing the sins
of a brother,
Consider a while, are you harming
another?
Your words may be piercing the
heart of mother.
Say nothing.
There are too many gossipers now in
this life,
A gabbing.
They are chiefly the cause Of most of
the strife,
By blabbing.
And they think there is nothing left
for them to do,
No work to be done; only troub BILE to
brew,
But their talkative tongue at the
last they will rue,
Most certain.
In the battle of life it is truly your
part,
To hustle.
And do but the deeds that will light
en- some heart,
While hustling.
So forth with your gladness and ban
ish the tear,
By planting a hope in the place of a
fear;
And your name on the tablet above
will appear,
eternal.

What Southern Boys Should be Taught
Manufacturers Record


1--WE use the Manufacturers Re
cord as a means of getting informa-
tion for the boys in our debating So
ciety. 1t is fine"
This extract from a letter from II
B. Smith, Superintendent of the
Greenville Public Schools of Green
vile, N. c., a subscriber to the Man
ufacturers' Record, carries a sug-
gestion which, we believe, might
with advantage be adopted in every
other school in the South.
In the training of Southern boys,
what is more important than to
teach them to know their own coun-
try?
What is more important than that
they should grow up with some
knowledge of the attractions and re.
sources Of the South, and thus be
prepared as they reach manhood to
take an active part in Southern up
building to their own good and tc
the benefit of the South, and to dc
it intelljgently by reason of the train
ing which they got in their school
days?
The Manufacturers Record is con.
stantly in receipt of letters from
school boys and college boys asking
for specific information about South
ern questions and Southern resources
for use in their debating societies
Might it not be well for the superin
tendent of every public and private
school in the South to follow the ex
ample Of Professor Smith and use
the Manufacturers Record-the
worldwide accepted authority OF
the South-as a means of giving tc
the boys of the South the opportunity
of knowing what is taking place il
their own country?

"WHO is JOHN W. KERN?"
A Question That Is Very InteIIigeDtly
Answered.
AN OLD FASHIONED AMERICAN CITIZEN.

(The Albany. N. Y. Daily Press and Knicller-
bocker.)
"Who is John w. Kern" asks
Willie E. Corey, the multimillionaire
steel magnate who gained notoriety
by marrying Mabelle Gilman, the
actress.
In the first place. John w. Kern is
an old fogy. He has such old-fash-
ioned notions that he despises man
who would divorce his wife and the
mother of his children in order to
| crafty an insane passion for an act
ress. John w. Kern is one of those
back numbers who places honor
above dollars. He would not sell
his soul for gold, even though the
devil offered him all the yellow met
al there is in the bowels of the earth
He has remained a comparatively
poor man all his life rather than en-
ter a combine to rob the people and
drive competitors out of business.
He never, so far as we have been
able to learn, either founded a pub
lie library or endowed college.
Having lived an upright, whole
some, God-fearing life all his days,
he has never felt the necessity of ap.
ologizing to his maker Or offering
penance in the form of lucre for his
sins.
William E. Corey is about as sharp
contrast to John w. Kern as could
be found within the boundaries Of
the United States, with the possible
exception of James S. Sherman, the
other candidate for vice-presldent
No man who holds dear the honor Of
this country can contemplate the
possibility of James S. Sherman be
coming through an act of Provi-
dence, the President of the United
States without shuddering; whcrea:
if John w. Kern should be called
upon to step into the highest Office
he would grace it.
who is John w. Jern?" asks the
faithles5 nabob who cast off MS faith
ful wife, the woman Who had braye
ly shared his days CT poverty ans
had struggled with him TO build uI
his fortunes, as a man throws away
q lemon after he has squeezed all tbs
good out of it. Such impertinenc&
deserves no answer, were it not fol
the sake Of calling attention to tn,
brazen eifrontery OF men Of Corey
stamp who had, through the medium
of protected monopoly, grown to bc
the greatest menace that confronts
this nation to-day. Anarchy can be
stamped out by force, but the insi
dious evil imposed upon this long
suffering people by whom President
Roosevelt designates very forcibly
as male factors Of great wealth,
is even more to be dreaded than ar
archy.
"Who is John w. Kern" Why, {
plain, honest American citizen of th'
highest type, an unpretentious, clear
living man, yet of scholarl,
attainments and commanding
) intellect. Had that purse prout
Pittsburg millionaire read John w
Kern's mastery reply to the apolog,
of James S. Sherman, he would hav'
no need to ask, "Who is John W
Kern?"

The Greatest BlundeFS Of N.Y. Life.

Here are some ''Blunders, writ
ten down by five hundred men, and
to be found in the Crerar Library:
The greatest blunder Of my life
was gambling.
When | left my church and moth
er.
My greatest blunder was when |
first learned to smoke.
When | left school before / was
past the fourth grade.
Did not stick to my trade.
Was to fool away my time when at
school.
Not keeping my position, but grew
slack in my work.
Reading worthless books.
Thinking that my boss could not
do without me.
Refused steady position with a
good firm.
Would not hearken to the advice
Of older people.
Not saving money when was
young.
Beating someone out of money.
Did not stick to anything.
Careless about religious duties.
Did not take care Of my money.
The greatest blunder OF my life
was not accepting Christ and thereby
avoiding many sorrows caused by
serving Satan.

Humor Is a First Aid to Housekeeping
biblical Recorder.)

(Blbllcal Recorder.)
Marriage may be battlefield and
not bed of roses, as Robert Louis
Stevenson says it is, but if that is
true the participants can wear an al
most invulnerable armor if the do
mestic campaign is well studied out,
with careful attention given to little
things, says Henlen Corinne Ham
bridge in the October DeIineator.
For instance: the Mere Man likes to
sit down with his pipe after dinner,
and he likes me to sit down with him
and talk over the days triumphs and
worries. At first my housewify
soul rebelled at having to let the
dishes "set" for an hour or so, and
l could see my grandmother shaking
her finger at me through the magic
rings of smoke; but now | have come
to like this period devoted to the di-
gestion Of the days doings and of
dinner as we'll as the Mere Man does,
and there is no gathering of dishes,
or the realization that his wife is
working, to disturb his pipe Of
peace.
All the joy | find in my home,
however, is not by the highway of
the kitchen, though they say that
road leads straight to mans heart.
We do not live by bread alone,
praised be Allah! The woman who
as soon as she is married closes her
heart and brain to all outside inter-
ests will end, like Alice did, in shut
ting up like telescope. The woman
who never reads a book or news
paper, whose sole topics Of conversa-
ton are picked up from neighbor-
hood gossip must in the end weary
herself and all those about her. Not
that she may never "talk pleasantly
and smartiy Of common things" but
that she must know something of
better things.
Of all the professions open to wo-
men that Of home-making is the
greatest. The woman behind the
coffee-urn can be greater than the
man behind the gun, but how often
she goes looking for power far afeld
when it lies in her very hand!
The realization of these things
does not come in day, nor in many
days. They grow up out of the black
soil of failure, and while they may
not be rare exotics, they are certain
ly good field posies for the everyday
picking. 1t is a problem to do ones
house-work and find joy in it, and
into it's solving one must bring brain
as we'll as Drawn. Above all, must
one cultivate sense of humor. The
woman who laughs when her cram
berries roll over the kitchen floor,
who sees humor in a frozen water
pipe, is magnificent. One may not
need to have the song on the lips or
the rose garden in the kitchen, but
it is necessary to have both in the
heart to "sweep a room as by a law
divine"
