The Worst Kind of an idler

The physical structure of man
shows he was intended to be worker.
His legs and feet suggest movement
the hands are for handling; the erect
spine and broad shoulders provide for
the carrying of weights; the fact that
exercise develops muscle and strength
teaches that we get power for service
ny doing. No one should be an idler,
either young or old. But the young
idler is the worst of all; no moments
are so precious as those of youth.
Boys. the worst thing you can do of
an evening is to do nothing. Idleness
weakens both body and mind. Honest
toll is blessing in many ways

One ont of a6s

"Giye us this day our daily bread"
The Lords prayer may he roughly
divided into four parts: Reverence.
Submission, REQUESTS, Praise. The
third may be divided into two further
subdivisions Requests for physical
and requests for spiritual welfare.
1t seems to us that it was not for
nothing that the first is given the
preference in chronological order.
Christ taught us to ask for physical
necessities. before asking for things
spiritual, probably to impress upon us
the fact that we are dependent upon
the Almighty for earthly as we'll as
for heavenly blessings. So religion
and the church should concern them
selves as much with physical welfare
as with spiritual experience, aud just
so far as the church forgets the
physical well-being of the community
in its devotion to its spiritual welfare,
so far will it lose its hold on the
hearts and minds of the people.
Today is set aside as one of
Thanksgiving and prayer. For 364
days in the year we ask for our daily
bread. 1t is not too much to devote a
portion of one day TO giving thanks
for those requests which were granted
and saving of the others "Thy will
be done. Richmond Virginian.

praylng ror a Panic

The regular stand-pat crowd are
earnestly praying for panic. A
panic Is their only hope of salvation.
Roosevelt's panic of 1907 is not suffi-
cient. Bus rs for the "penny royal
ers' we hardly know where they are
or what they want. 1t seems that they
can swallow every kind of dose.
They just "wad i. up and let it all
go together.
The true Progressives want bust
ness to grow better. They contend
and we think very truly, that, if
business continues to improve, the
regular Republican party is thing
of the past. And the Good Lord
knows we earnestly hope that it will
all come true. We have been bothered
with the Republicans long enough.
Well. INV a serious question, "What
would the stand-patters dor" We
believe that the question can only be
answered by asking another one.
"Will their hatred of Roosevelt be
stronger than their prejudice against
the Democratic party?" There's the
rule. Do your own answering and
don't ask US.
But back to the panic. 1t is not
going to come. There never was n
panic when Virginian was Presi.
dent, and we will put it stronger.
There never was panic when a
Southern man filled the Presidential
chair. This is the first point. Next
the iron, coal and lumber people have
contracts for three and five years
ahead. The neopthe in business knows
that these three articles control prac-
tically all other prices. "True, local
conditions change the price of given
article at times. But the rule is cas-
goes iron so goes everything else.
These people know exactly what they
are doing. They are not going into
bankruptcy FOR fun, nor TO save the
stand-patters from oblivion. Again,
the confidence of the whole country /!
in Governor Wilson ability, integrity
and capacity gives the business world
and the people generally new
impetus. and inspires them with a
living hope. All recognize that priv
ilege must go. Business will he based

nay do you good to pray little any
way, because you have done so little

will be all you will get out of it.

COMEDY IN COURT.
Trick by Which French Lawyer Won
a Hopeless Murder Case.

6oPeieS9 MuroOr Case.
Maitre Lachand, the famous adj
vocate, was perhaps the greatest
master Of comedy in France, and
not a few eminent actors envied him
his marvellous powers of mimicry.
He was once employed to defend
murderer, against whom the facts
were hopelessly clear.
When his pathetic appeals and
his tears which were always at
call when he pleaded before coun-
try jury-failed to touch his stofid
audience, he resorted to most i'm
pudent piece of trickery. Thrusting
his moistened white handkerchief,
into his pocket, he demanded if the
jurors were men, if they had human
hearts, if they could bring them
selves to condemn a fellow man like
the accused, whom he had credited
with all sorts of chivalrous if not
sanity merits.
His eloquence was not merely
fruitless, but the jury responded to
it at first with uneasy shutting,
then with biting lips, and finally
with loud and uncontrolled bursts
of laughter. Lachand, while fling
ing about his hands, had intention
ally dipped his fingers into the great
inkpot in front Of him, and as he
drew his right hand across his fore
head, as if in agony of despair at
the certain fate Of the accused, he
left upon his brow an enormous
black mark like a crescent moon
and drew two other black traces
down his cheeks as he put his fin
gers to his eyes to dash away the
tears.
Feigning high moral Indignation
at their conduct, he continued:
''You are about to decide whether
one of your fellow men shall be
thrust by you out of the ranks of
the living, and you choose such a
moment for indulging in cruel and
thoughtless laughter. Is this ex-
travagant mirth a fitting mood in
which to decide whether a man
shall or shall not die?"
The argument actually told upon
the jury. The man was acquitted.

Iona Boards.

Howell's t'Welsh Celebrities" says:
'Llewenn had the longest beard Of
which we have record. When loose
and flowing it fell down over his
horses shoulders almost to the ami
mails knees. It was of peculiar
yellow or straw color, which was all
the more curious, both his parents
being dark haired mountain Welsh
people. Years afterward the noun
tain people had proverbs which re-
ferred to this freak, they often US
ing the expression About as long
as Howland's beard or yellow as
the whiskers of Llewenn.'
George Kilingworth, whom Queen
Mary sent to Russia in 1855 as one
of her agents to Gar Ivan the Ter
rible, had beard five feet three
inches in length, and Count Ruloff
of Poland, 1897, rejoiced in the
possession of a mustache which was
so long that he could not touch the
ends of it with his fingers.

Noted Dead In Trinity Churchyard.

Alexander Hamilton is buried in
Trinity churchyard, at the head of
Wall street, New York, and the
grave is marked by conspicuous
white marble monument near the
Rector street station of the elevated
road. His wife, who lived until
1854, fifty years after his death in
the duel with Burr, is buried beside
him. Albert Gallatin, who succeed
ed Hamilton as secretary of the
treasury, lies only few feet away,
and near by is also the grave of
Robert Fulton, inventor of the
steamboat. Another famous occu-
pant of Trinity churchyard, whose
monument is near the Broadway
gate, is Captain James Lawrence of
the United States navy, commander
of the frigate Chesapeake, who fell
in battle with the British ship Shan
non June 1, 1913, in the thirty-sec-
ond year of his age. AS he fell
upon the deck he cried to his subor-
dinates, Don't give up the ship!"

Animal Mud Rathers.

Among birds the salt water spe-
cies often seek fresh water to wash
in. Different land birds choose diff
ferent earths in which to dust and
also wash in water, and nearly every
tropical animal, including the tiger,
battles either in water or mud. Per-
haps the best known mud bathers
are the wild boar, the water buffalo
and the elephant. The latter has
an inexpensive advantage over all
the other animals in the use of it's
trunk for dressing wounds. It is at.

and hand. Water, mud and dust
are the main appliances used,
though it sometimes covers sun

A Moorish Legend.

commanded his prime minister to

work, and at the head Of the list,
which was a very long one, he placed
the name Of his sovereign. The lat

and merely inquired how he came to
merit that distinction.
"Sire," the minister replied, 81

purpose of buying horses abroad, to

Primitive Sokotra.

From an chronological standpoint
the small island of Sokotra, not far
from Alden, is one of the most curl
GUS spots on the earth. The inhab-
itants may be divided into two
classes the Bedouins, who it is be-
lieved are the aborigines, and
mixed population, the descendants
of Arabs, Indians, Africans, Portu-
guese and other nations. They do
not export foodstuffs, believing in
the Arabic saying, .'The milk of the
deer is hardly sufficient for the
young ones" Cattle are not killed
unless sick and likely to die. In
most Arab villages many men may
be seen without hand, the ampu-
tation of hand being the punish
ment for theft, but here there is
little crime and no prison, evildoers
being banished from the island.
