Small Bow Then ana Now.

This is the way the editor of the st.
Joseph, Ga, Eye writes it:
David was considered noble little
fellow because he went forth and slew
the giant. Goliath with his sling I
pleased King Saul and all the children
of Israel to such an extent that he
was at once crowned as a hero and
made ruler. Very little heroism
would be credited to an act of that
kind in our day of the world.
Give the average ten-year-old boy
a sling of the David style and he
would not only kill ali the giants with
in four miles Of him, but there would
not be window light nor dog with

He HAD THE FAMILY FAILING.
Humorous Apology Made by Pompous
Old colored Butler.

A relative of Thomas Nelson Page,
who resides IN the south, has In his
employ an old family butler, who goes
by the name of "Ebe," short for Eben-
ezer. Ebe is a very pompous "cuf
uhed gemmun," intensely proud of "dA
family and cumulative Of his master,
"de cuhnel," In every possible IN
stance.
A few days ago there was a big
dinner ''up at de house" and in the
colonePs absence Ebe took advantage
Of the occasion to get gloriously in
toxicated, and was unable to attend
to his duties for a day or two. A
daughter Of the household undertook
to reproye the old man, who expressed
great repentance, promised reform,
and, finally, when be saw how seri-
ously his effense was taken, ended
with:

Tricks OF TIE MEDICINE MEL

writer in the Denver Field and Farm.
He can also, by presenting sufficient
number of ponies to medicine man,
prevail upon the doctor to impart ths

it, the novice is prepared to begin the
practice Of medicine. Success in their
opinion is only possible with the aid
of the Great Spirit, and in order to In
woke the help of the supernatural they
resort to various sacrifices.
For instance, there is the practice
of ascending butte or other eleva-
ton and lying with the face to the
ground for several days without food

to have been taught some song or

wolves come, to them and howl and
that they understand what the ami

they place tobacco In little pouches
which they tie with sinew. These are
painted brilliant colors and fastened
to willow sticks about the size Of the
shaft Of an arrow, but somewhat
longer.

Principle of Education.

At the foundation of the art of edu-
cation must be the following principle,
which those who make in advance the
plans for such education must under
stand: It is necessary to bring up
children so that their education shall
be adaptable not to the present, but to
the future. perhaps better, condition
of the human race-that is, it should
be adapted to the idea of mankind and
to its entire designation. This princi-
pie is important in the highest de-
gree. Usually parents bring up their
children so that they shall be fit only
for the present world, even though it
is depraved. But they should educate
their children better in order to Gre
ate thus future better state of man
kind.-Kant.

"Mind Your Stops"

Massachusetts has law, known as
the "semi-colon law" under which a
misplaced semi-colon regulates the
liquor traffic in the city of Boston.
But this is not a circumstance to an
omitted comma as instanced in the
following act of the last legislature
of Massachusetts: Whoever operates
an automobile or a motorcycle on any
public way or private way laid out
under the authority or law recklessly
or while under the influence Of
liquor. or so as to endangeF
the lives or safety of the
public, etc 1t is now asserted that
the reckless motorist can go as he
pleases on highways which have not
been laid out under the influence Of
liquor"

IN THE DAYS OF THE Dwell
Reminder Of Times When Gentlemen
Met on "FieId Of HONOR


The years which separate us Amer
leans from dueling are fewer than
most of US realize. The late Prof.
shaler's Autobiography, in the Allan
tic, has this amusing "reminiscences:
THE first occasion was when
silly cousin Of mine with too Wuch
wine in him challenged well-known
duelist, James Jackson, who as gen
eraI fell at Perryyille Fortunately,
knew Jackson well as a boy of IS may
know a man of twice his years. I
made my plea to him to give my kins-
man an easy way out. At first he was
obdurate, saying that he would have
his life-he had, indeed, reason to be
vexed-but in the end he told his sec
ond to fix it up with me. My good
I may say indeed affeetionate, rela-
lions with Jackson had begun year
before Ia like absurd business in
ballroom. Frankfort. I had acci-
dentally stepped into mess made on
the floor by the breaking of q bottle OF
champagne, which he as manager was
trying to have cleaned up. With
sharp word. he pushed me aside; my
newfound manly dignity was offend
ed: so therefore, as usual in such
cases, asked him for his card. His
answer was: I beg pardon, my dear
sir, 1 took you for boy, We
both saw the fun of the situation, and
became friends He was one of the
glories Of this world; he lifted my
sense Of what it was to be man
the ancient type of gentleman"

Meet Trouble with Defiance.

As little dogs bark at shadows, so
do some women become alarmed at
the first sign of trouble. To the strong
hearted and the strong minded there
are few situations that cannot be con-
trolled. Why not be superior to these
small matters that annoy you so? You
do not live at all unless you live in
peace and happiness Change what
can be justly changed and let the rest
go hang. Perhaps you are like the
northern woman who went into the
beautiful southland and grievea all
the day and all the night, too, because
the nightingales sang so loud Poor

mere is what a recognized authority
says on the subject: In spoken Ian
guage, pronunciation is the most strik-
ing element, and thus it happens that
it is, more than any other one thing,
the most obvious test of general cul-
ture. Even in speaker of recognized
ability, his mispronunciations fall
harshly upon the ear and cause the
nearer to suspect that his early, if not
later, education has been wanting In
polish, or that he has not been accus-
toned to the society Of refined and
cultivated people" Surely this writer
does not overestimate the case or ex-
aggerate, in any way, the importance
OF correct pronunciation.
