This boy goes to his business and at
his business begins by simply doing the
things he is told to do, and doing them
in common and ordinary way. If he
stops here, he remains all his life long
a drudge. But if he begins to see that
business has significance, that his life
is not merely sweeping the store, not
merely writing letters, not merely
selling goods; If he begins to see the
higher life involved in business; if he
begins to see that business is greater
instrument of benehcience, that trade
is clothing thousands of men where
charity clothes ten, that agricultural
and milling industries are feeding
thousands of men where charity feeds
ten; if he begins to see now the whole
history of the world is linked together.
and is Gods way of building up hui
mainly and serving humanity-as he
gets this larger view, and enters into
it, life is enriched and becomes itself
the minister whereby love is enlarged
and conscience is strengthened, the
school wherein he is educated out OF
the lower into the higher.

Good breeding, like charity, should
begin at home. The day is past when
children used TO rise when their par
ent entered the room where they were
and sta I'D until they had received per-
mission TO sit. But the mistake is
now made usually in the other direc-
ton in allowing TO small boys and girls
too much license to disturb the peace
of the household We think the best
way TO train children In courtesy
would be to observe toward them a
scrupulous politeness. We would 20
so far as to say that we should make it
as much point to listen to children
without interrupting them and to an
swer them sincerely and respectfully
as If they we're grown up. And, in.
deed, many of their wise, quaint say.
ings are far better worth listening to
than the stereotyped commonplaces OF
the morning callers. OF course, to al.
low uninterrupted chatter would be to
surrender the repose Of the household
but it is very easy, II children are
themselves scrupulously respected, tc
teach them in turn scrupulously TO re.
spect the convenience OF others, ant
TO know when TO talk and when to bt
silent.

The idea seems to exist among us
that to be polite to each other in the
family circle is foolish and like put
ting on airs. We must rid ourselves
Of .his notion and act on the principle
that whatever helps to make our in
tercourse pleasanter outside the IA
mily circle should be brought into use
there. We should avail ourselves of
any and everything that can be used
TO advantage in our daily intercourse.
1t is no exhibition of airiness TO say
"thank you," or "if you please" These
little courtesies are indications of re-
lnement, and costing nothing, they
help to make the wheels Of life move
more smoothly. # is not in elaborate
attempts at pollteness that true gen.
tility consists. 1t Is in the simple,
honest expression OF the genuine feel.

BLAKE'S HURT SERIOUS.
Colby Quarter.Mile Runner, Who Is q
Senior, Will BE Out of College Attn
letlcs.

Albion w. Blake. the Colby senior
ouarter-mile runner, will probably be
out of track athletics this season, oW-
ing to an injury which he sustained
in a practice meet held in Waterville
last Saturday Blake started with
several other runners and had gone
about so yards, when he was taken
with a cramp. He kept on for half
dozen strides before he collapsed
and fell to the track.
At first 1t was not thought that his
injuries were serious, but develop
ments the latter part of the week in
dictate that he will be unable to par
ticipate in the track events of the
coming season. Blake was looked
upon as a probable point taker in
several of the events in the coming
dual meet with the University OF
Maine and the Maine intercollegiate
meet.

ITCHING IRRITATION.
Worst Form of Skin Troubles Quick
Iy Cured by inexpensive Treat
ment.

When you suffer with any skin
trouble, even though the itching
seems unbearable, do not think that it
is necessary to use some disgusting
greasy ointment Try Hokara, a pure
and simple skin food, that is guaran-
teed to contain no grease or acids and
which is SO clearly it does not soil
the linen.
Its power to instantly relieve any
irritation of the skin and make ii
soft, white and beautiful is almost
miraculous.
Not only are minor skin troubles
like pimples, blackheads, acne, bar
hers itch, etc, quickly cured, but
the worst ulcers or cases of salt
rheum or eczema are cleansed and
healed by this wonderful sNn food.
In order that any one may try Ho-
kara at small expense G. r. Fogg is
selling a liberal sized jar at Csc and
in addition guarantee to refund the
money if the treatment does not do
all that Is claimed for it. Larger
size so cents.
If the blood Is impure, use Hoka-
ra Blood Tablets. They cool and
cleanse the blood and regulate the
bowels in natural way"

Monroe City, Mo-, Sept S, 1911.
Ed. Monroe City Democrat,
1t has been suggested by some Of
our voters, that One Hundred Thou
sand Dollars might be more than
necessary to complete our new
Court Building Jasper and Boone
County have just built theirs cost
ing over this amount. After seeing
these buildings and talking with
those interested in their construc-
ton, feel sure our County Judges
have made no mistake in providing
for our present and future records.
In years past while building mate
rial and labor was at least thirty
per cent less than now. we would
not have considered voting less
than Fifty Thousand Dol lars to
build with brick and frame con-
struction. With the advance price
of material and labor added to this
the extra cost of reinforced fireproof
material so necessary in keeping
our public records, besides saving
in insurance and knowing we are
to use material that in very few
years our public buildings will be
entirely constructed with, the nee
essary cost of holding elections
from time to time would soon cost
a good part of this amount. No
county in the state is better pre-
pared to issue these bonds or needs
a first class fire proof Court House
more than Monroe County.
Very Respt,
w. L. Bond.
