Competition and Manners.

In the days when the store at
the crossroads was the only one in
eighteen miles, the storekceper
with his feet on the counter. might
continue his target practice at the
sawdust box until he had finished
telling the loafers how he caught
six coons up one tree, while the
impatient customer waited for him
to reach the period where he
would turn and aggrievedly de-
mand, "SomethingG" When there
was store on each side of him,
and one across the street, he learn
ed to put on a clean shirt, sweep
the floor, smile, and say, Good
morningl How's crops9" When
Mrs. Heights husband has three
competitors crowding him close,
she does not snub the wives of his
patrons. Where a man is undis-
puted boss of his territory, either
in business or politics, he is too
strongly inclined to acquire the
manners of despot. Given plenty
of competition, he soon learns to
rub off sharp corners, bottle up
hasty temper, restrain glaringly
selfish inclinations, and treat his
fellow men with consideration.
Good manners are infectious.
When the merchant, and the rail
road, and the politician, and the
professional man become polite to
all the peoble, the people rapidly
acquire good manners also. There
are some who are instinctively
courteous and well-mannered re-
CARELESS of any material considera-
ton, but most mems manners are
shaped, like their lives, by forces
that make their daily bread. Note
the difference in graciousness be-
tween the candidate who gets his
nomination from a political boss,
and one who must go before a
primary. Observe the improve
ment in manners of a street rail-
way with an expiring franchise.
There may be waste in COMPETE
ton, but it is usually of the sort
that graciously fills the peoples
baskets with the fragments.

Sunset.

When the sun sinks a m i d
b a n k of gold and crimson
cloud and the sky becomes a fairy
land of seas and isles, the poetic
fire smoldering within the most
prosaic breast is kindled into
flame. The soft colors of the
fading day and the humor Of the
gathering dusk is transmitted to
the soul. In that gentle mood,
we too turn to the days of long
ago, the fading days, the isles of
memory, sweet fairyland or per-
chance to the uncertain future,
whose castles beckon us ahead but
are quite as unreal as these vistas
bathed in the glory of borrowed
light. Alike alluring are the ST.
rens of half forgotten days and
those whose shadows fall against
the uplifted veil-the great Not
Yet. Life itself is but vague
and hazy dream whose adventures
are as strange as those sunset
islands and golden seas which
seem to float in cloudland. The
things we think are real are mere
vapors and the ravishing colors
are but reflections of some hidden
light. Who knows but what life
is death, to breathe a feast; to
sleep naught else but a warm COW
erlet9 .

American investments In Mexico.

Many Americans are emerging
from Mexico just now quite well
satisfied to get out with complete
skin.
A few years back, reckoning
ores and crops at their value on
this side of the line, it was easy to
figure out a get rich quick"
profit on paper.
The trouble with a lot of these
schemes was that the assets are not
worth much if any dark skinned
tramp can come along and burn
them up. Even new towns on
our frontier have an underlying
conviction of law and order that
as a whole is absent in Mexico.
If all the money put into haz-
ardous Mexican undertakings
could have been kept at home,
every state in the union would
have seen new enterprises start on
its own soil.
Before sending money out of
the country, investors should not
look only at physical resources.
They should also consider the
laws, social institutions, and pop
ular habits that are needed to
make resources valuable. Four
per cent. in a home bank, backed
by courts and public opinion, is
better than 40 per cent, if it is
protected only by your guns.

Keeping Open the Horizon.

1t is bad to lose grip on bust
ness, but it is a tragedy to lose a
grip on life. Many men and wo-
men who find life turned stale just
when they ought to be in their
prime are paying the inevitable
penalty for callousing their hearts
with selfshness and greed, or
burning out their souls and bodies
with vice; but life's dull brown
taste is not confined to passengers
on the Champagne Limited. Many
men of exemplary lives, who work
faithfully in fruitful fields of en-
deavor, find in the hour of victory
that their zest is gone. Many
wise and prudent men who have
been preparing for the rainy day
suddenly find their carefully built
shelter dry indeed-more monoto-
nous and desolate than the rain it.
self. Many excellent women,
when the flush of youth has pas
sed, instead OF maturing into en-
during, increasing usefulness and
serenity, become like unto
house left desolate. Whether
work be drudgery or delight, too
exclusive application to it natural
ly tends to narrow the horizon.
The merchant finds himself sur
rounded by dry goods, dry goods
talk, and dry goods people until
the walls of his store are the
boundaries of his world. The
scientist who puts his soul and
beart and brain into the pursuit of
sthe beetle finds in time that every
point of the compass ends in a
beetle. The society woman who
finds all her interest in one class
and in one set of events and modes
of living sees and feels little of the
vast and palpitating current of
human life above and below and
around her. The nerves and brain
and muscles grow weary of monot-
ony. However intensely we APP
ply ourselves, we should keep our
eyes on the distant hills and the
crimson sunset. There should al
ways be kept open path that
runs away to the west or east or
n )rth or south, to an entirely new
horizon; to some other work ore
loves; to some other study that
appeals; to new game with a
new SET of rules.-Collier's.

LIKE FINDING MONEY
W. S. Lloyd Offers Popular Med
iCine at Hdlf-PriCe.

w. S. LLOYD, the popular drug
gist, is making an offer that is
just like finding money for he is
selling regular so cent bottle of
DR.. Towards celebrated specific
for the cure of constipation and
dyspepsia at half price. In addi-
ton to this large discount he
agrees to return the money to any
purchaser whom the specific does
not cure.
1t is quite unusual to be able to
buy fifty cent pieces for quarter,
but that is what this offer really
means for it is only recently
through the solicitation of Drug
gist w. S. Lloyd that this medi-
cine could be bought for less than
fifty cents, he urged the proprietors
to allow him to sell it at this re-
duced price for a little while,
agreeing to sell a certain amount.
The result has justified his good
judgment for the sale has been
something remarkable.
Anyone who suffers with head
ache, dyspepsia, dizziness, sour
stomach, specks before the eyes,
or any liver trouble, should take
advantage of this opportunity, for
DR.. Towards specific will cure all
these troubles. But if by any
chance it should not, w. S. Lloyd
will return your money. 43-45-47

that Gods Law was unjust, but that
Israel, like the remainder of the world,
shared by Inheritance Adamic weak
nesses, which so impaired their moral
quality that they could not keep Gods
perfect Law, which our Lord defined
Golden Rule" love for the neighbor.
The Gospel of Jesus magnifies the
Jewish Law by admitting its righteous
ness. The proposition Of Jesus In re-
spect to His followers is this: He,
being perfect, was able to keep the
Mosaic Law perfectly, and had a right,
therefore, to everlasting life, and need
ed not to have died; but instead Of re-
tanning His life He laid it down sacri-
fcially, as a part of the great Divine
Plan for human redemption. That sac
rifice will bring to the world the bless
ed opportunity for eternal life which,
It has been promised, Messiah's King
dom will bring. But meantime the Re
deemer, carrying out Jehovah's plans,
offers an fmputation Of His merit to
. any who have His spirit of full conse-
Grafton to do the Fathers will by lay
ing down the present life specifically,
to gain with the Redeemer heavenly,
spiritual life, glory, honor, immortal
ity, the Divine nature, as Messiah's
joint-heirs in His Kingdom. All who
thus do will be counted as a part of
the spiritual Seed Of Abraham, through
whom all the families of the earth will
receive their blessing.
These disciples Of Jesus sacrifice
their earthly interests and rights and
thus become reckonedly dead to earth
ly things. God accepts their sacrifices
and begets them of the Holy Spirit
Thus they become New Creatures in
Christ But how could God accept
blemished offering? and are not these
New Creatures held responsible for the
conduct Of their flesh, so long as they
live-until their sacrifice is completed?
The Scriptures answer. The great
High Priest, who presents these offer
ings as part Of His own sacrifice, COW
ers their imperfections by an imputa-
ton of the merit OF His own sacrifice,
which is already in the hands of JUS
tice waiting for application on behalf
Of the sins Of the world. When this
High Priest thus presents us to God,
covered with His own merit as robe,
we are assured that the sacrifices are
"holy and acceptable unto God"
AS for subsequent weaknesses of the
flesh, the New Creature is indeed held
responsible for its mortal body, but
since our High Priest tasted death for
every man and for all sins of heredity,
therefore these New Creatures In
Christ are assured that all their tres
passes, Of ignorance, or weakness, may
be forgiven, and that the Redeemer,
their Head and Representative in glo-
ry, will, upon application, impute His
merit for the cancellation of such i'm
