Solomon's wisdom as regards to
men is as muItitudinous as it is pro-
found. 1t covers every gamut of
human characteristics. Life had no
secrets from him. His was the eye
as sharp as an eagles. 1t could
pierce and analyze the frailties of
mankind in no uncertain terms. Bet
ter still. it was backed up by an
evenly balanced mind and a tudg-
ment that was ever ready to lay
down proper precepts for their cor
rection. Even casual reading of
his proverbs cannot fail to be of bene-
fit to those of willing disposition to
improve their ways of living and
thinking. They are brim full of adj
monttons and conclusions which are
as forceful as they are simple of un-
derstanding. Many of them are well
nigh automatic, truths which are
self evident. Not one of them is
more patent though, than that which
is used above for a text. Its sem
sibleness should appeal to everyone.
What could be more apparent than
that a man that "walketh with wise
men shall be wise: but a companion
of fools shall be Destroyer"
It must have been the foundation
on which was built that vernacular
adage to the effect that a man is
known by the company he keeps; ex-
cept, that 1t goes a little further. AL
most everybody of any degree of in
telligence whatsoever. must recognize
the force of this contention. And yet.
how many there are. who. knowing
this to be true, heed it not. Their
number is legion. They never even
stop to think of the company they
keep. They do not seek out the wise
and the good by whose examples they
can profit. They drift along in re-
Spouse to their grosser passions to
the companionship that may be more
congenial. Step by step does their care
lessness lead them on, until they find
themselves in the same undesirable
boat in which their companions are
travelling. II this realization comes
at all, 1t generally comes too late.
Regulations, those priceless things
when they are good, are already
blasted. Then there is a faint sigh
or two of vain regret over how diff
ferent things might have been, but

into the maelstrom OF wrong-living In
which a variety of vices play prom
inent parts.
A warning as to the choice of COM
panions is particularly pertinent to
young folks. the boys and girls who
are approaching the estates of man
hood and vomanhood. It is then
that their characters for life are in
the process of formation. 1t Is then
that the environments OF every day
leave their impressions most strongly
upon them. If they seek and rather
glory in the companionship of fools
in place of the companionship of the
wise and the decent, the harvest that
they will reap in later years will be
bitter one. It doesn't pay to SOW
the seeds of folly. The crop it yields
is not a profitable one in any par
ticular. And among the seeds of
folly none are more harmful than the
choice Of foolish and indiscreet COM
panions. Nothing but evil is in them.

who are unfortunate enough to get

Evidence has come to the front of late
that it is possible to secure divorces
in Chicago "on the quiet" This is probably
not a good public policy, but it has its
redeeming feature nonetheless. People
are not nauseated by having their dis
gushing details of divorce suits Haunted
in their faces daily by the newspapers.

FROM OTHER PENS
PENSION COOPERATION.

The Massachusetts legislature has
enacted a law which should interest
railroad men generally. and those who
are striving to provide for the future
of toilers who are engaged in hazard
Gus callings. The measure grants per-
mission to the Boston and Maine Rail-
road company to establish a pension
system for its employees. The idea or
iginated in the company's headquart-
ers, where the system was planned.
The proposed pensions are to be pro-
vided for by equal contributions from
employers and employees, and the form
err are pledged to make up any de-
ficiency IL the joint payment falls short
of 5000, the minimum sum.
The Massachusetts proposition is
promising, in that it provides for 1lar-
er and employe in work that will
surely cultivate mutual sympathy and
tend to bind the interests of both more
closely and thus establish relations
which may make for harmony as to
wages for service and as to the rules
vice shall be given. The pension sys-
tenn is capable of expansion, and it
has already been suggested that 1t
might eventually be made to embrace
accident insurance and sick benefits.

OPPORTUNITIES OF THE SOUTH.
1t is true that the big cities of the
West and North offer great prizes to
those who have ability that is above
the ordinary, but there are only a few
who win these prizes, and. after all,
the prizes that may be won in the
South are just as desirable. Money by
money they may not be as great be-
cause the South isn't as rich as the
North, but she is getting richer all the
time, and If all her young men were
to give her a helping hand it wouldn't
be so very long before her prizes would
be great enough to satisfy any reason
able ambition.
The thing, therefore, for the South's
young men to do is to cast their lots
with their own people. In agriculture,
the industries, the professions and in
business the opportunities are great,
and are increasing all the time. No one
of them is overcrowded, particularly
with men of first-class ability.
The most of the young men of the
South who seek careers in the North
and West have a hard struggle before
they get footho1d and where one
succeeds there are a dozen who fail.
The same patience, endurance and
ability in the South that are exercised
in the North would bring better re-
suits at home. In every Southern uni
versit yand college, therefore, the stu
dents should have the idea impressed
upon them that the South is the field
for the exercise of their talents

SOUTH AFRICA uN1TEI

Natal. the last of the South African
colonies to vote on the question OF
federation, has adopted the proposition
by a large majority, Natal Is pro-
lnouncedly English and it was feared
that the colony might refuse to enter
a federation which the Dutch probably
will control, but apparently the Dutch
and the English have determined to
get along together in South Africa as
anlicably as the French and the Eng
fish get along in Canada. And why
not?
The South African federation will
|henceforth be as important an entity
as the Austrian federation and the
Dominion of Canada. It may not re-
tain the old ambition for separation
from the British empire. 1t is more
likely to find itself growing more and
more contented with the actual and
;,eaceable realization of independence
within the British empire, Great Britain
has learned that the way to keep col
onies is to make them wish to be kept.
