A GOOD APPETITE AND GOOD
 SLEEP.

What will not a man give for healthful bodily strength, natural hun ger and dreamless and restful sleep These are things money cannot buy the things lost which a man will do almost anything to regain.
 A police magistrate of St. Louis who was making $500 a month has gone to work on the street at $50 a day just to be able to eat square meal and to have sound sleep at night This is the price to him of self-re- demption and he has the will power to do it.
 More would do 1t If they had the mastery over pride-the ability to abandon old ways and to create new conditions. At such a time as this strength of mind is the one thing needful, and without it there is no re- establishment of natural physical and mental conditions.
 Foil, pure air, healthy fatigue the calloused hands. the perspiring brow, the tanned complexion, are the sure way to put off invalidism and to put on the hearty manhood and the men tai balance which assures perfect physical condition.
 The change need not be so violent as this of the St. Louis magistrates. for it is by degrees rather than by suddenness that disease is overcome and healthful conditions re-estab- lishsd.

MUST NOT SPREAD.

China is at last through modern de- velopment beginning to show signs of self-assertiveness. As the result of years of military training the govern ment has at last issued from Pekin to the Portuguese, a thus far and no farther edict. After Portugal has held undisputed sway in Macao for three and half centuries, notice is given that the islands have never been conceded and will not be. The town and the islands have reputation for beauty and healthfulness and the country embraced in the Portuguese claims is of unusual fertility The population, according to an uncertain governmental authority. is 79,oOo, of which only 3,200 are foreigners. While Portugal has insisted that her rights covered all the district within the in- ffuence of the town of Macao, the Chi nese have never recognized them. Ma tive troops have been maintained along a barrier to what is known as the h. ner Land.
 This is regarded as the beginning of China's new programme with reference to foreign occupation. If Portugal yields, then it is predicted that France. Germany, Britain and Japan will in their order be called upon to evacuate within the next fifty years. China is being treasured, and with modern arms and good gunners she may yet cut a great swath as a fighting nation.

rHE RoY AND THE TOWN.

What the boy needs everywhere is opportunity, and what the town needs is men.
 The town by its service to the boy should create the men capable of making it industrially great and his torically famous.
 It is the fashion for boys unappre- ciated at home to fare forth for an abiding place. and they often are the men of the largest power and infiu- ence in a great country like this. Their town feels proud of them, but why should it have lost them?
 Every town needs its best young blood; and it needs every facility not only to make healthy, skilful, patriot ic citizens of them but the attrac- tiveness to hold their loyalty-to call out their most generous impulses for the town and those who may live after them.
 The town which by it's lack of edu- cational facilities and it's license is producing too large a percent. of idlers-too large a per cent. of incom- petents. is laying up wrath against the day of wrath. It Is not laying the foundation for future progress and for the permanence of those principles of industry and personal government which make the individual and the state great.
 A mans indebtedness to his town ie the obligation he feels towards it for what in boyhood it did for him. If the boys are to be broad and noble and self-reliant citizens the preceding generation must pave the way. Are we doing all we should or can in this direction?

FOR THE COMMON CAUSE.

you can come in and help us out. But I'm surprised that Ezra can't find enough for you to keep busy at home" he chuckied, with his usual bluntness.
 The months that followed stretched themselves out Into a period of hard, grinding toll for the patient helpmate of Ezra Barclay, who by rising betimes and applying herself to her household duties with extra vigor. occasionally secured an afternoon that might be de- voted to her own purposes. However, the coming of early fall saw the achievement of her long cherished ob- ject and the little old portmonnaie in the bureau drawer bulged with its contents of dingy greenhacks, painfully gathered, one by one Then one day a letter arrived from Pennsylvania It was from Sister Tildy and 1t bore an urgent invitation to spend one of the autumn months with her people. It also contained money order for $50, with an explanation that the family's lately increased prosperity warranted the gift. It seemed as though the worn. little woman's ambition of more than decade was to be realized at last.
 But dire calamity befell the house hold. Ezra Barclays stable received a visit from a government inspector and his herd of four cows were all pro-
  condemned As though this were not sufficient misfortune for one day, a widespreadfng forest fire. kindled in the parched underbrush of the noun tainside, swept up the sloping timber land toward the summit. and Ezra'y newly purchased pulp lot standing in it's path, was licked up in it's hungry advance. The stricken farmer viewed these reverses with despair.
 Were the same as ruined. Lucy" he groaned. unable to repress a manifesto ton of the woe which possessed him. We've got to have cows; our Twin I've got to mortgage the barn. The pulp lots gone, and at my time of life man don't prosper after he's mort gagged way up to his ears"
 Mrs. Barclay, sympathetic and keenly alive to the enormity of the catastro- phe as seen through her husbands eyes, had stood motionless during his lamentations. Now she slipped silent ly into the little bedroom, returning a moment later.
 Here. father" she said gently, pressing into his hands a long blue slip of paper and a ron of tattered and orumpled bills, here's enough to give you a new start on the cows"
 The already overburdened mind of the distressed Ezra was unaccustomed to such a wave of emotions as the eventful day had engendered, and the receipt of this unlooked-for suecor left him for the moment bereft of speech. It was his wife who finally broke the silence.
 Come, father" she prompted quiet ly; "suppers gettin' cold."-Boston Post.

strive to substitute ln the minds of all the people ideals of peace for ideals of war. In & store window the other day I noticed the picture of a mother sitting beside her boy before an open fire. The artist had contrlved to give kind of dream effect to the scene. The mother was gazing through the freight at the shadowy outline of a gowned preacher in a pulpit. But the boy was looking in another direc- tion. his gaze riveted by the outline of a soldier decked out with sword and buckler and in a very militant attitude. The boy and the mother were cherish ing altogether different ideals concern ing what he would be fifteen or twenty years hence. How cam we make 1t clear to young minds and hearts that military glory is not the only thing worth striving for, that boys and girls who grow up Into men and women ready to serve their country In prosaic ways and to serve mankind are just as much heroes as men who grasp their Inuskets and hurry to the battle field. Those two valiant missionaries Messrs. Rogers and Maurer, who re- gently were slain in Armenia, while trying to keep the natives from killing one anoth ther deserve monuments for their valor quite as much as if they had helped to sink the Spanish fleet.
 Oh, yes. there is fighting work enough to do in the world without set ting foot on any of the battleshtps whose multiplication is burdening tax payers the world over today. As Charles Kingsley said: ''The age of chivalry is not past so long as one wrong remains unredressed." He de- serves to be called a good soldier of Jesus Christ who like him will bear f1 ..fr~T, even at the cost of his own life, and who like him illustrates each day the heroic virtues called by the old-fash- toned name of gentleness and un- selfshness.

''Yes, sir, $400," observed Ezra Bar clay, ti1ting back in his kitchen chair. the iron-gray tuft of beard that adorn- ed his chin wasging contentedly as he spoke. "and a drivin smart trade, too. l All twas worth. I reckon It's been q | hard pull to get along without sellin' | 1t earlier for a little or nothin'. But lpulpwood's rose tremendously of late and there's a good parcel of 1t there.''
 Mrs. Barclay. a plain, calico-clad lit-
 tie woman, whose tightly combed gray
 hair and slightly receding chin gave an | air of meekness to her expression quite | in keeping with her nature, added a mild voice of satisfaction at this dem- lonstration of her husbands shrewdness 1 "a bit timidly, as though participation l in Ezra's sense of well feeling was a privilege not too lightly to be enjoyed,
 I've been thinking, pa," she said falteringly, after a moment of hesita-
 ton. that there might be enough to spare this time for my new black dress folks. Fifty dollars would be a plenty. with what I've got"
 She noted the responseless. forbid ding expression that her tinid sugges- tion brought to Mir. Barclays counte- nance and proceeded tremulously in nervous desperation, as though she felt that her cause unpleaded now must remain always unspoken.
 You know, was willin' to walt when the money from our oxen came, but haven't seen Tidy now since she was on from Pennsylvania, twelve years ago this summer, and sometimes it seems as if couldn't bear the thought of our livin' our lives out so Tar apart and never seein' each other again. We Bigelows was always a great family for iilzin' to stick together and you know. Ezry. my best black dress was bought six years ago"
 MT Barclay ruminated on this. the wife had delivered within his memory, musingly for some moments. His tone as he replied was not intended to be unkind, but his words conveyed an un- nlistakable impression of fnality.
 'T know, Lucy, you've waited a good while for your visit, but this $400 will almost pay for that piece of Davis, and that lot will be worth e1.ooo five years from now. The timber on it Is growin' up fast. And $50 Is a good deal Of money. When you visits over it'll he gone and you won't have nothin' to show for 1t.

"Of course, haven't no objection to your earnin' the money outside" he went on, noting her disappointment, '7ong's ye keep the regular work up round the house."

CIRCULATION
MEMORIAL DAY.

Since Memorial day falls this year upon Sunday 1t will be free from the sports which are so offensive to the veterans of the Grand Army.
 The boys of 1909 cannot understand the boys of '61. It seems like fable to tell them that this remnant of men with unsteady steps and Swhitening hair are all that is left of the greatest army in historic times-two millions of whom have passed to their final reward, and that another million are marching thitherward at the rate of 5000 souls year. They cannot real ize as these veterans do the thrilling power of Rally round the flag, boys, rally once again. Shouting the battle cry of freedom"
 And in the forty-four years which have elapsed since these 'fboys" pre- served the union, this Grand Army has devoted itself to teaching lessons of patriotism and perpetuating it. It is the grandest army possessed by any country; and its civic work is the golden band which secures all 1t achieved by force of arms.
 The boys of 1909 do not realize how the boys of '61 feel-they cannot-for they are not on the frontier of life where the portals of the better life are opening; they cannot sing with Walt Mason, "The years have taken flight, and life's evening bells are toiled; so my children sing tonight, Silver Threads Among the Gold"
 The sacredness of Memorial day to the boys of '61 is real. The com rades whose graves they decorate were with them in the midst of camp revel- ry and the perils of war. The bugle calls mean more to them than to later generations, and they can still hear the heavy guns, the chatter of the horses feet and the marching of thousands of armed men In the name of liberty beneath the flag they have defied death and seen men die. They do not sing any more, We are tenting on the old camp ground tonight, thinking of the dear ones at home" for the right of the column has answered the call Ito come home" and these faithful comrades are doing kindly, reverent service and thinking of ''the boys" who have gonel before They are fol- lowing on in faith and hope, brave of heart. loyal in spirit and true to the principles which ennoble men and which find favor with the gods.
 Let us alSrespect their feelings and contribute generously of flowers to make complete this sacred festival.

A DISTORTED IMAGINATION.

A great many honest people come to erroneous conclusions on account of a misconception of conditions. A so- cialist speaker in Boston recently pie tured how the factory operatives look ed to him. He declared, according to the press report of his address, that "a visitor to a city of manufactories could not help but notice the look of despair on the faces of the toilers as they came from the factory buildings. Most of this despair was the result of the industrial conditions, he said. and socialism, he contended. was the only remedy.
 We are living in a New England city of nanufactories and we see no such look upon the faces of the oper- atives. The operatives hereabouts are enjoying the life and many of them have and will make the factory the stepping stone to something higher and better. General Banks, the bob- bin-boy, shows how mill boys develop in New England. It is not so long ago that a factory boy died in Nor wich who had held every position of honor fin the gift of the city, built up a large business and left an estate of "a third of million and some of our factory girls have lived to become leaders in society of the four hundred. The look of despair is not born of industry or thrift-that is the fruit Of improvidence. New England work ing people are upon the whole a we'll housed, well-fed and we'll dressed peo- ple and they have their full share of happiness. The man whose industry makes him feel that he is a wage slave is to be pitied. The watchword of every American workman should be progress. and his chance to rise is ten to one in this country to that of any other country under the sun.

SOLDIERS OF PEACE.

The tenderest of all the public anni- versaries of the year Is at hand. Memorial day stands for the lavish outpouring of life and the due recog- milton of that sacrifice by those who have profited by it. Had there not been men in all parts of the land ready to spring to the defense of the .coun- try, to leave behind them their dear est ones, to endure the hardship of forced marches, the ordeal of battle and weary days in hospital and prison, this nation would have become dis membered. How different then the history of the last fifty years would have been. In these days of peace and comparative plenty we do well not only to lay garlands on graves of those who have fallen and to look reverently upon the furrowed faces and bowed figures of the surviving boys in blue," but to think of the immense debt we owe them, a debt shared by all parts of the civilized world.
 When responding to the call for vol unteers they left the blow or the forge, the factory and the counter, they may have had no clear vision of the future or even of the significance of what they were doing; they only knew that duty called. Horrible as war is, espe- cially internecine strife, no other way appeared of bringing to an end differ ences and disagreements which. If al- lowed to persist, would in time disrupt the union:
 Theirs not to reason why.
 Theirs but to do and die.

Men are absorbed as perhaps never before in the scramble for riches, in the development Of in- dustrial resources. The call to youth today Is not to the battlefield, but to the service of the state and mankind through peaceful vacations. Oh, that the same valor and self -forgetfulness that led striplings in the early sos to do battle with bullets and bayonets would take possession of the young men and women of today and make them veritable soldiers of peace!
 The country wants men of sterling yet fighting honesty in public posi- tions, from senator and representa- tives in congress down to the humblest letter carrier. France Is just now put ting to test the real patriotism of It's postmen and telegraph operators While similar situation is not likely to arise in this country, it behooves every man in office and every voter to ask himself if he loves his country well enough to do the humdrlrm painstaking duties essential to the forwarding of the public business and the public welfare.
