A SERMON ON LAZINESS.

Now isaa good time to get lazy. The
weather is just right. A man who
cant get lazy now is not built right.
Some people get lazy earlier in the
season than this, but they ought not
to do it, for their crops get lazy, too.
and don't grow to do any good. Some
boys get lazy in the spring, but |
never knew one to get too lazy to dig
ish-Worms all forenoon in order to
go fishing in the afternoon.
When a boy gets too lazy to play he
usually needs a good dose of physie.
With some people laziness is a dis
ease; with others it is a luxury;
while with others it is simply a pas
time. Laziness of long standing be-
comes chronic and is hard to cure.
Some people inherit laziness, but
when they get it that way it is born
and bred in the bone and the flesh,
and is incurable. People who
get lazy are generally irritable, petu-
liant and of a sour disposition.
It takes a certain amount of lazi-
ness to sweeten ones temper and
make him c%ontented, but too much OF
it is worse than not enough. Lazl-
ness may become a habit, and, if in
dulged in to excess, results in a dis
ease which requires constitutional
treatment.
A moderate amount of laziness is
healthy. 1t is like taking a sun-bath
on a frosty morning; it feels good.
But great care should be taken not to
Econtract the habit. The fire should
not be allowed to go out or the steam
to run down too low. Some people
don't stop the machine at all; they
shift the belts to another pulley and
play golf or baseball, or go hunting
or fishing. This is a YER good way
It relieves the strain, but does not
rest the body like a good dose Of
laZiness.
Laziness is not a painful disease
to the n who has it, but it some.
times hurts his family, which his
laziness prevents him from support

guarded against. Although it is no
particularly dangerous, it is not de
sirable in a community. It seldom
proves fatal, although there are case

Say, old Good-licker, or whatever
your name is, you needn't think you
can fool me with your sanctifed slob-
Der. I've heard old b~illy-goats try
to bleat like a sheep before. 1t some
times happens that the loudest cry
of stop, theft" comes from the
greasy gullet of the Teller who stole
the ham.
/ know what's the matter with you,
old sock. The Fool-Killer has just
been pinning down a little too tight
on some of your pet sins and dissipa-
lions, and that's what made the heller
come.
The Fool-Killer breaches the Cos
pei of fair play, u%prightness and hon
esty in all things. 1t approves he
good and condemns. the bad wherever
it finds them. But it's chief mission
is to. condemn the bad and frail the
humbugs, ~rascality and c~ussedness.
And that kind of a job don't call for
any sugar-coated language, either.
Why. | might go around patting the
devil on the back and singing pretty
~love-songs to him, like most of the
papers do, and the mealy-mouthed
hypocrites would call me a pretty
good Teller. But because | take plain
English for a hand-spike and turn
over the devils playhouse with it,
they think I'm just too utterly bad
for anything. A man don't put on kid
gloves when he goes out to skin a
polecat, and I've got an awful sight
of human polecats to skin. I've got
a mighty fine, glossy pair of literary
gloves that | wear on some occasions
when I have a nice subject to handle
but when l want to dehorn a human
devil 1 go at it with gloves off.
Mr.. Good-licker thinks The Fool
Killer is wholly indecent, and toe
damnable to even exist. To the i'm

face, old Good-licker reminds me o
the Rube who went hunting one day
He fired several times at what h
thought was a squirrel in a tree-top
but finally discovered that he ha'
been shooting at a louise on his owl
eyebrow. Good-licker is n~ear-sighte'
and cross-eyed, and the evil that b
thinks he sees in The Fool-Killer
hanging like a black cloud q hi
own dirty soul.
There, now, Good-licker, don't cry
if your little old hypocrite-fiddle
broke and won't make no music n

Complicated Reasoning.

The Los Angeles Tribune Gnsurg- enD. noting the great republican gains in the several states over the vote of last year, reaches the con- clusion that the republican party is stronger than Mir. Taft" The line of reasoning which would lead one to conclude that republican gains and republican victories are to be con- strued as evidence of dislike for a republican president is a sort of reasoning which is too complicated for the ordinary understanding. How ever, if Mr Taft's enemies are able to extract comfort from the returns, robody should begrudge them such satisfaction.

ritory had gone democratic by an inn mense majority.
 Next day, the news was that it did not appear to be much of a demo- cratic victory after all, and headlines were set in modest type.
 And yesterday. when the Associated Press reported that the later returns showed that New Mexico had gone republican with the possible exception of the governor. that the legislature is republican by a two-thirds ma jority, and that two regular republi- cans will surely be elected to the senate of the United States, the head lines announcing the facts were so small they were vastly overshadowd by more important" news. One of our democratic contemporaries con- sidered the news so trivial in fact that it was hidden away beyond the eyes of any casual reader.
 Meanwhile however. we suppose that our democratic friends will con tinue to refer to the great demo- cratic victory in New Mexico.
