WHY DON'T YOU?

Why don't you answer your friends

value if written promptly, and will take
no more time now than by and by.
Why don't you make the promised
visit to that invalid? She is looking for
you day after day, and ''hope deferred
maketh the heart sick"
Why don't you send away that little
gift that you have been planning to
send? Mere kind intentions never ac-
complish any good.
Why don't you speak out the encourag-
ing words that you have in your
thoughts? Unless you express them
they are of no use to others.
Why don't you try to share the bur-

beside you? Is it because you are grow.

Why don't you take more pains to be
self-sacrifcing and loving in the every.

TUCKER NO
TEMPERANCE MAN,

Mr.. Tucker has never taken any part
whatsoever in temperance work until
ne became candidate for Governor.
and the newspapers asked his position,
he had never so for as we can learn.
expressed publicly any convictions on
the subject. He says now that in a
statewideelection he would vote ''wet, 4"
that in a local option election in a city
he would be governed by conditions. 4"
and that in an election in his own town
of Lexington he would vote ''dry." He
has had two opportunities to vote in
local option elections-in the city of
Staunton, in 1891, and in "his own
county of Rockbridge," in l9O2-and on
both occasions he stayed away from the
polls. His vote in the latter election
would have been to close the bar-rooms
in the college town of Lexington, where
he was professor in Washington &
Lee University, but he did not feel
enough interest even to vote. In neith-
erelection did he make any speech is on
the dry" side, or even align himself
with the temperance people. Since
deeds are more expressive than words,
we can only infer that Mr.. fuckers
present claim for temperance is only a
little deception to catch the votes of
few temperance advocates.
AS a memberof Congress, Mr.. Tucker
had two opportunities to help the tenn
perance cause. In both cases he voted
against the wishes of the temperance
people. In 1893 there was pending in
Congress what was known as the
Original Package Bill" which provid-
ed that liquor shipped from one State
to another should, as soon as it entered
the State to which it was consigned.
become subject to the laws of that
State. Mr.. Tucker was paired against
that bill when it came up in the House.
and later, when the same bill was re-
turned from the conference committee
with Senate amendments which were
satisfactory to the temperance people
in the House, he voted against it. At
the second session of the same Congress
there was pending bill to provide for a
commission which should make an
'honest, impartial and thorough in
vestigation of the alcoholic liquor
traffic" and simply report the result
of its investigation. Mr.. Tucker voted
against this bill, although it was stated
on the floor of the House that more
people had ''petitioned Congress for the
appointment of a commission of this
kind than ever appealed to Congress to
pass any other law" Mr.. Tucker has
not claimed that he introduced or voted
for any other temperance measure
while member of Congress.
These are the temperance records of
the candidate. Can there be any
question as to how any real tenn
perance man will vote? AS we said in
the commencement, we do not believe
that temperance men anywhere in the
State will do otherwise than vote for
Judge Mann. If they are sincere in
their interest in the temperance cause,
they will take off their coats and work
for him, too. Blackstone Courier.

BE SOMETHING.

There are a number of newspapers
and individuals in the State, who are
admirers of neither Mr.. Tucker nor
Judge Mann and speak disparaging of
both of these gentlemen as candidates
for the Governorship. They also lay
great stress on the fact that the dis
cussion of the records of each will give
ammunition to the Republican party af-
ter the primary. The Times Dispatch,
which claims to be Supreme in Vir-
ginia" affects an indifference as to the
result and in many editorials expressed
regret that neither of the two candi-
dates has shown those qualities of state
manship that should be possessed by a
Governor of this State. 1t is such
criticism as this from a Democratic
newspaper that gives aid and comfort
to the enemies of Democracy. -Empo-
ria Messenger.

HAPPY.

A blistered thumb, ban6aged toe,
A tattered shirt wheresleevess should grow
A blackened eye, askin-torn cheek,
A heart too full of JOY to speak;
Another package left, and then,
Ten cents to buy some more again!
A ticket for the old bay boat,
A lump of gladness in his throat;
A vision of the picnic ground,
The wooden horses circling round,
The peanuts and the lemonade.
Fried chicken and a country gladel
A bent pin for hook. pole
OF willow and a sunny soul
So sweet with holiday and sun
The very blossoms DER il run
And pour their honey round his feet
Until he swims and wades in sweet.
Oh. happy, happy boyhood day,
That has no heart to run away,
But haunts us still through manhood years
Leans down to lift US from our tears,
And shares with us the light, the light
That hath no end and knows no night

BE KIND.
by Beatrice Fairfax.l

often wonder why SO few of us say
the kind things that come into our
hearts. We seem to think that our
friends will take the words for granted,
and content ourselves with action in
stead of words.
Kind action, of course, is better than
rJere lip service; but kind words go a
long way toward making happiness.
Some people have the happy knack
of ready expression; it comes natural
to them to say kind and gracious words.
Others find it almost impossible to
lose their reserve and give utterance
to what is in their hearts.
Don't get into the way of thinking
that nothing is worth while, that you
might as well let things go and not
bother to be kind and gracious toward
your friends.
Everything is worth while as long
as the brown earth is beneath our feet
and the blue sky and the gold of the
sun above our heads. We should be
so glad to be alive that our hearts
should overflow with kindness toward
everyone.
Life is so beautiful and so short, anG
yet we wantonly spoil many of its
precious fieeting hours with discomfort
and ingratitude
Every ugly thought and word leave.

SwANSON'S START in LIFE.

Inc Democratic National Monthly
prints picture and a sketch of Cover
nor Swanson, of Virginia, together with
review of accomplishments under his
administration. We reprint a brief ex-
tract from the article concerning, Gov
ernor Swanson's early ambitions and
efforts, which may well encourage
struggling young men of today to live
decently, study hard and vigorously,
adhere to the basic principles of honor
able endeavor and success. We quote.
while tilling the ground ne read the
story of Warren Hastings, whose sue
cesstui efforts in winning money and
fame under the burning suns of India
hiied young Swanson's brain with
dreams of honor and distinction, and the
very obstacles in his way served to
stimulate his ambition. He put his
spare time on his books, and at the age
of sixteen undertook to teach school.
and after two years saved enough
money to pay his way for two sessions
at the Virginia Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College at Blacksburg. He had
then to go to work again and clerked in
a grocery store at Danville two wears.
and while so engaged four prominent
men of that city, one leading LAWYER.
and the other three worthy tobacco
manufacturers, seeing that there was
something in the young man, a future
before him with the assistance of a
helping hand, went to him, and volun-
tarily offered to lend the requisite money
to complete his education and equip him
for the practice of law. After much
hesitation he accepted this offer, and
gave the gentlemen his individual notes
for the amounts advanced by them. re-
spectively, declining their generous offer
to make it free gift. With this money
he went for three years to Randolph
Macon College. taking the degree of
A. B., the Sutherlin medal for oratory.
and the debater's medal in the Wash
ington Literary Society. While at this
college he edited the Hanover and
Caroline News, the organ of the Demo-
cratic party for those counties, and
thus at that early period actively
espoused the principles and the practi-
cal work of the party to which he has
given life long loyalty and devotion.
I'm 1886 he attended the University
of Virginia, and took the degree of
bachelor of law, accomplishing in one
year the two years course at that
famous institution. On his return home
he entered upon the practise of his
profession at Chatham, Pittsylvania
county, and in two years his business
enabled him to return every dollar of
the money lent him by his generous
benefactors.

THE MOST ANCIENT PROOF or
MASONRY.

When Brother Masons gaze in won.
der at the Egyptian Monolith," other.
wise known as "Cleopatra's Needle, %
that stands in Central Park, New York,
little do they realize that it is the most
ancient proof of the vast antiquity OF
our noble Order.
1t was old when blind Homer wan
dered through Greece, intoning his war
like peans of glory of the mortal and
NEUROLOGICAL heroes who fought in the
''Siege of Troy"
1t was quarried during Abraham s
lifetime, to later become a history of
one of the most ancient Pharaohs, who
caused to be carved on its sides record
of his famous reign. This Pharaoh was
the great conqueror Sesostris we read
of in the Bible.
The royal oval cartouch on this needle
is the seal and sanction of this rulers
history, placed there by his command.
In Egyptian history this warlike king is
known as "Rameses H." who made
history many, many centuries ago.
What venerable proof of the vast
antiquity of Masonry, which proof can
not be gainsaid, because, when this
monolith was removed from its founda-
tion in Egypt, the working tools of our
Craft were found enclosed in its base.
Perhaps the first authentic account of
laying a cornerstone.
Think of the ages that have flown,
the changing history of nations, that
has been written, since our ancient
brothers of the Craft quarried this won-
derful stone, that the military glory of
Rameses may have a new birth in our
western world. Julius L. Hemstead,
