St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1909-07-24

Based on Apocryphal Book OF Ee-
clesiasticus.
Ecclesiasticus.-This is the title given
to the seventh book Of the Apocrypha'
otherwise called 1.-The wisdom OF Jesus
the son Of Sirach." The word, like many
others of Greek origin, appears to nave
been adopted in the African dialect Inc
right explanation of the word IS given
by Ruflnus, who remarks that IT does
not designate the author Of the book'
but the character Of the writing" as pup
licly used in the services of the church.
According to Jerome the original Hebrew
title was Proverbs and the Wisdom OF
Solomon, the title of The Book OF All
Virtues. In the Syriac version the book
is entitled 1.-THE Book of Jesus the Son
Of Simeon Asiro," and the same DOCK
Is called the "Wisdom Of the Son OK
Asiro." The Palestinian origin OF the
author is substantiated by internal EVIL
dence e. g. 2410f. The language in Whlch
the book was originally composed was he
brew, Jerome saying that he had met
with the Hebrew text. Nothing however
remains of the original proverbs OF ben
| Sira except the few fragments in pure
| Hebrew which occur in the Talmud ana
later Rabbinic writers. The book Is Oh
vided into 81 chapters.

Hard lrinker 4 Menace.

The drinker sometimes boasts Of
his ability to carry a large quantity
of liquor. He is strong enough to
carry without staggering what would
make others dead-drunk. The fact
that he boasts of such strength shows
that he is weak in wisdom. His boast
is his folly. While he is strong
enough to carry large quantities of
mixed drinks, he 80 weakens his moral
stamina that he can Justify the
wicked for a reward" and so tempt or
SANDER his neighbor as to take away
his righteousness from him. Such a
man becomes walking cont=gion, Q
menace to all with whom he comes
into contact.

This dress, made in the ever-favorite
sailor style, would look well in cream
serge. The skirt is entirely plated
and is stitched at the foot. The nov
city lies in the blouse, which is cut in
two pieces, and arranged in wrapped
seam. A box-plait is made down the
center of front, which fastens up to
the neck; the pocket sewn at the left
side will be found most useful. White
silk embroidered collars and cuffs
edged with frills are worn and give 6
pretty effect.
Hat of coarse straw, trimmed with
a puffed net crown and roses.
Materials required: yards serge

thereof are long life.
Be not a hypocrite in the :
sight of men, and take good
heed what thou speakest.
Gold is tried in the fire, and
acceptable men in the furnaces
of adversely.
The greater thou art, the
more humble myself, and thou
shalt find favor before the Lord.
Many are In high place, and
of rerown, but mysteries are re-
veaIed unto the meek.
A stubborn heart shall fare
evil at last; and he that IoVeth
; danger shall perish therein.
The heart of the product will
understand a parable, and an
attentive ear Is the desire Of .
? wise man.
Observe the opportunity and
} beware of evil.
Be not as lion In thy house,
; nor frantic among thy servants.
Strive for the truth unto
J death, and the Lord shall fight
I for thee.

FREE SPEECH AND THE BIG
 STICK"

President Roosevelt has been in. strumeutal in having indictments charging criminal libel returned against Editors Pulitzer and Smith Of the New York World and Indianapolis News for their accusations of graft made in connection with the Panama purchase.
 In yesterdays issue of The World Pulitzer bitterly assails the president, asserts that his action was due to personal animosiy. and concludes with melodramatic utterance that mo tlourishing of the big stick can stitIc free speech"
 Undoubtedly Roosevelt acted in an uudiguiticd manner in using his off cial power to influence the prosecu- tion against Pulitzer and SE.ith. Dig uity has never been Theodore's long suit. But there is no intention on the part of the president to "stifle free speech" T. R. owes too much of his own power to the use of chaste yet lurid yituperation through the  newspapers to seriously consider this.
 Free speech is not in danger The country is under a great debt of gratitude to the press for honest and fearless criticism of those in power both in politics and finance. We have reasonable libel laws allowing a wide latitude. If Pulitzer and SmitF have overstepped these laws they will be punished. Otherwise they can continue to shout graft Free speech is in no immediate danger in either case.

"Our little girl was two months old when she got rash on her face and within five days her face and head were all one sore. We used different reme- dies but it got worse instead of better and we thought she would turn blind and that her ears would fall oif. She suffered terribly. and would scratch until the blood came. At night we had to pin her hands down. This went on until she was five months old, then I had her under our family doc tors care, but she continued Go grow worse. He said it was eczema. When she was seven months old l started to use Cuticura Soap, CutiCura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent, and in three weeks - what a chaagel kept using the Cuticura Remedies for two months and our baby was a different girl. You could not see a sign of sore and she was as fair as a newborn baby, and all for the small cost of a dollar and seventy five cents where we had spent ten times the money for doctoring.. She is now two years old and has not had sign of the eczema since. Mrs. H. k. Budke, k. F. D. 4, LeSueur, Minn., Apr. l5 and May 9. l9O7.'

WHO KNOX IS.

President.elect Taft has announced that Philander c. Knox. at present representing Pennsylvania in the United States senate. will be the next secretary of state. succeeding Robert Bacon. who was appointed some weeks ago to fill the term left vacant by the resignation of Enhu Root, The secretary of state is the most import ant man in the cabinet Next to the president and vice-president he is first in order of succession.

woMAws INFLUENCE FOR GOOD

Man is savage in his natural state. Indeed. and scratch away the. artificial veneer of manners. culture. and selt.rcstraint that covers modern man and you will find him savage stiu. one thousand years of ciyiliza. ton has not sufficed to change the primitive instincts of man.
 To woman belongs the creditor perhaps discredit-of making the re- fuements and usages Of modern society what they are But it is with the influence that the individual wo- man wiclds over her individual mate that we have Go deal.
 Women cannot compete with men on equal terms either mentally or physically. In the qualities which we term moral" however. they have been more generously endowed than man. Women recognize this fact and as a sex they have developed these traits so that at this age and era it i, safe to assert that women possess more innate refinement, temperance, modcsty and gentleuess than men.
 Love in mans life is a thing apart: 'tis womeu's whole existence" Icn range the broader field Of the worlds activities. but to women is given the power to shape the nature and the caree. of rhc r.en they love or as.oc.are with. A bad or wholly frivolous woman is enough of drag to keep the average man from attain ing success. But an ambitious wo, man. woman with liberal and charil- able ideas. a woman with a pure mind and a desire for the better things. can work wonders with the nature of a man who loves her
 To her is given the task to teach the higher ideals. to preserve lofty ethical standards. to develop the gen uest and uoblest in a man. A woman of this sort is the best asset man can have. She at once inspires and comforts. Under her ministratious the moil and care of a troublous world is soothed away and man rises refreshed from weariuess and despair and re.entcrs the battle of life with new hope
 There is more truth than poetry in the toast: Women: our arms her defence; her arms our recompense.
 Most women can either make or mar the men they have married-or love. Ina. in most cases their influ- ence is for good and good alone is the highest tribute that can be paid our wives and mothers and sweet hearts. Let not women complain of limited sphere.

has been in effect for some time. The
private soldier cannot buy beer at the
canteen and has not been permitted
to for years. The officers have the
same freedom in the purchase Of
liquor they have always had.
What has been the result?
There is more drinking among the
men and less among the officers.
The canteen as formerly conduct
ed was a good example of proper reg
ulation and its abolition has been a
great injury to the private soldier.
With no law restricting the officers,
the cause of temperance has been
steadily advanced among them until
now the hard drinking officer is prac-
tically unknown in our army and
among the younger officers there is
less hard drinking than among any
class of young men in the country.
