clearly that former Representative
William Hughes, OF Paterson, has re-

Hughes carried the various counties

cast for former United States Senator

The Place to Start.

There is one place above all
others where the first principles
of civic improvement, love of the
beautiful and proper regard for
private and personal property
should be taught-and that is in
the homes and the teaching
should be of the children.
1t can be commenced none too
early.
The child that is not taught at
home to refrain from destruc-
tiveness of property and med
ding with things it should not
touch will not behave itself when
away from home in that regard.
If parents themselves are not
orderly and neat about the home
how is it to be expected that the
children will grow up to be pinks
of propriety in neatness and or
derliness, or that the teachers in
the schools will be able to make
ladies and gentlemen out of lit.

proper decOrum at home, who
from parental instruction and ex-

nothing and are taught nOthing3

for the man who won't perform
that which he can. Now there
fore perform, those of you who
have it in you, and, reading that
phrase backward (perform there
fore now, perform daily.
A new postoffice, so story is
told, had been established in a
small village in the West. A ma
tive of the soil was appointed
postmaster. After a while COM
plants were made that no mail
had been sent out from the new
Office, so that an inspector was
sent to inquire into the matter.
He called upon the postmaster,
and stating the cause of his visit,
asked why no mail had been sent
out. The postmaster pointed to
a big and nearly empty mailbag
hanging up in a corner, and said:
"Well, l amt sent it out, cause
the bag amt nigh full yet. The
man had neglected to perform
daily.
Each of our taIents-thOse per-
forming abilities that we have
may be likened to that mailbag,
holding little or much of what
| the world wants. Let us, then.
| not wait until our talent-sacks
become full, or perfect, before
we send them out. We must per
form daily.
If you are going to preach, dc
not withhold your sermons from
the public until you can preach
like a Talmage.
If you are going to make mu
, sic, do not disappoint your friends
, until you can perform like a ia
, derewski.
If you are going to paint, d
not hide your pictures until yo1
! can present work like Whistler
If you do, you would be violat
ing the highest law in the uni
verse Just as much as that post
master was violating the laws o
Il Uncle Sam.
s So then daily perform the dc
e ing of that which we have. .-Farr
