Some Evening Rsveries.

Ii there was more push in th,
world there would be fewer hungry
half clothed, homeless, suffering
children; fewer broken down, dissi
pated men and women; less neeG
Of almshouses Of correction an6
homes for the friendless.
i Push means a lift for neighbo,
| in trouble. Push means lift fol
yourself out of the slough of de-
! spondency and shiftlessness, out OF
trouble, real and fancied. Push
never hurts anybody. The harder
the push the better, if it is given in
the right direction. Always push
up hill--few people need push
down hill. Don't be afraid of your
muscles and sinews; they were
given you to use. Don't be afraid
of your hands; they were meant
for service. Don't be afraid of
what your companion may say.
Don't be afraid of your conscience;
| it will never reproach you for a
tgood deed--but push with all your
heart, mind and soul whenever You
see anything or anybody that will
be better for good, long, strong,
determined push.
Push! 1t is just the word for
the grand, clear morning of life; it
is just the word for strong arms
and young hearts; it is just the
word for a world that is full of
work as this is. If anybody is in
trouble and you see it, don't stand
back; push!
If there is anything good being
done in any place where you happen
to be, push!
Try to make others all around
you happier. This is religion.
This is Gods kind OF religion.
Protect girls in their virtue, boys
in their manhood, adults in their
earning and man in his sublime
right to think as far, as fast and in
as many directions as it is possible
to pierce the gloom. Be active.
Get up and get. Do not sit in the
house day after day trying your
best to be sick. Do not grunt or
growl every time little pain or
ache lights on you or camps in your
door yard to be nursed into active
belligerancy. Do not think that
you are the only one who has
money, the only one who has land,
the only one who has sickness, the
only one to whom sickness comes
as the process of physical dissolu-
ton goes on.
Of all the lessons that humanity
has to learn in life's school the
hardest is to learn to wait. Not to
wait with folded hands and claim
life's prize without effort, but hav-
ing struggled, labored and toiled
and crowded the years with efforts
and trials, and yet see not the re-
suit that all this would seem to
warrant, nay, perhaps disaster in
stead. To stand firm at such a
crisis and not to lose hold or relax
effort is true greatness, whether
achieved by man or woman. If we
would have life crowned with sue
cess, if, after toll, labor and effort,
we would not lose our reward, let
us not turn back nor give up, but
hold on, be firm, patient, hopeful
and wait.

Whether, under the new appor-
tionment, West Virginia is to have
another Congressman or not, a re-
arrangement of the present dis
tricts will be found necessary un-
der the new census Under the
present arrangement, even under
the old census. the fifth district had
a far larger population than any
other district in the state And
since the counties in this district
have all shown increases in popu-
latiOn except Mason, and most OF
the counties the heaviest percentage
OF increase in the state, the fifth
district has grown out of all proper
tlon to the rest OF the districts, ne
cessitating the change. Under the
old appOrtionment and the new
census the districts Of the state
stand: First 244,834; second 227,-
S44; third 258,649; fourth l9O;O39;
fifth 229,353. Thus the fifth dis
trict has nearly 10000 more peo-
pie than the fourth. And upon the
action Of the present Congress in
apportioning or refusing to appor.
ton the new Congressman to the
state may depend the time and man.
ner of redistricting the state.
