PHILOSOPHY OF WORK..
S


Nature is just towards men. It
recompenses them for their suffer-
ings; it renders them laborious be-
cause to the greatest tolls it attaches
the greatest rewards.
RUSKIN.
1t is only by labor hat thought can
be made healthy, and only by thought
that labor can be made happy; and
the two cannot be separated with i'm
punity.
If o want knowledge you must
toll for it; If food, you must toll for
it: and If pleasure, you must toll for
it; toll is the law.
1t would be we'll if all Of us were
good handicraftsnen in some kind.
Work first and then rest.
You must do more than pray. you
must work.
SENECA.
Shun no toll to make yourself re-
markable by some talent or other.
Yet do not devote yourself to one
branch exclusively. Strive to get
clear notions about all.
S~OPHOCLES.
Observe, without labor nothing pros
pers.
TASSO.
Virtues guard is labor.
VOLTAIRE.
Labor ribs us of three great evils
irksomeness, vice, and poverty.

one evening in the east. when a local
minister was called upon 10 say few
words He wound up this way, We
must adopt some method TO kill off
these pessimists. I can think of moth
ing that would give me greater pleas
ure than preaching the funeral ser
mons over every pessimist in town,
and I would leave out that clause about
the resurrection, too l agree with
the minister to a certain extent; but
first we must go through a period Of
civic evangelism. preaching enthusiast
tiCally the gospel Of civic duty. We
must give the heathens and the pagans
an opportunity TO accept the faith;
we must ascertain who are the optim-
lists and who are the pessimists. and

task to convince them that the town

1T is, all right for us to hold these

agree among ourselves that this and

Der only that something happened
a month ago in Schenectady. Then

her carefully prepared publicity the

move may say to himself. on, yes.

He may-and he may not. l once

there for anything in the world.
That is where all the anarchists live
Now, as a matter Of fact, Paterson
is one of the most comfortable and
hOmelike business communities with
in a long way of New York city.
There are not as many anarchists in
Paterson as there are Slavs in Pitts
burg or negroes in Washington or
wharf rats in Boston. But the bad
news of Paterson had impressed this
one person and il would take many
dollars worth Of straight-from-the-
shoulder publicity to repair the dam

theory that no news is good news,

munity. You gentlemen cannot eX-

boosting the city-and expect some
one else to do the boosting.
Spreading the News.
DO not permit the city to hide its
light under a bushel basket. Having
carefully compared and assembled
the city's advantages-and eiminat-
ed as far as possible its disadvan-
tages-spread the news. Consider
the resources of the community,
keep in mind the character of its
present development, determine the
character of development needed and
for which the city is best adapted
and then tell the world about il.
The method of publicity must of
necessity vary according to the size
of the community and the nature
Of its am bition. And there are more
ways of giving publicity to a city
than there are quilts in the hide of
q pOrcupine. There are those who
argue that any publicity of a city
is good publicity;i. e., that the first
aim should be to get the name OF
the city in the news columns Of out
of-town papers, irrespective of the
kind of news. They contend that
the public memory is poor as 20 de-
tails and that while they might read
today of a riot in Schenectady. a
month from now they will remem-

Cures Sore and Tired Feet.

Ordinary antispectic vilane pow
der has many valuable uses, but
probably few persons know what
wonderful power it has over sore,
tired, aching or calloused feet. 1t
draws all the soreness out, checks
excessive perspiration, prevents con-
gestion and cold feet, while it re-
moves corns, bunions and callouses.
Many physicians know it's worth
and the public can be saved much
suffering by this knowledge being
impaired.
If the reader wishes to try it, OBJ
tain OF any leading druggist, two
ounces of vilane powder. To a gal
lon of steaming water add a tea
spoonful of the powder and keep the
feet immersed from 10 to 20 min
utes every night for several weeks.

Mr. Clum's newspaper days in Wash

has been offered the secretaryship Of
the Greater Davenport committee,
and has the offer under considera-
ton. However, his contract at
Rochester has some time to run yet.
He was greeted by a large audience
last evening. He said in part:
Many of us, when we are IN con-
templative mood, are prone to reflect
upon these piping times Of peace
But 1 tell you, my friends, if you think
these are days of peace, 1t rs because
you can not, or will not, hear the roar
of battle. We are upon the thresh-
hold, aye, we have crossed the thresh-
hold and are actually engaged in one
Of the greatest conflicts IN American
history-that wholesome. uplifting,
good-natured conflict between Ameri-
can cities.
I'VE send our accommodating parties
INTO the enemy's territory and they re
turn with the spells Of waT-conyen-
lions.
Our skrmishers and sharpshooters
return from battle with new factories,
new stores, new people, new ideals.
Our scouts lay siege upon the ma
uonal congress, or our state legisla-
lures, and return with appropriations
for new public buildings, improved
highways, deeper and broader chan
nels in our rivers, and the ways and
means for the conservation and proper
development OF our natural resources.
Carry Smiles OF Optimism.
Instead OF carry rifles upon our
shoulders. we must carry the smiles OF
optimism upon our faces; instead of
the rhythmic swing Of infantry, we
hear the rythmic hum of industry; in
stead Of the rumble OF artillery, we
hear the rumble of heavily loaded
wagons on our highways of commerce;
instead of the clatter Of cavalry, we
hear the clatter of the ever-hurrying
everrestless feet Of business.
Our ammunition is publicity, fred
through the columns Of a loyal and en-.
thusiastic press. Our soldiers are
known as soldiers Of the common good
the highest rank is that of citizen
