A china thing for receiving hair

A chatting dish and celIaret

Ana sterling this and a sterling that;
g1It-edge book on lofty theme
AND fancy bags till she longed to scream;

says UNCLE CIV

Sometimes the fellow who is pro-
testing most loudly about his princi-
pies is only airing his grievances.
There's a vast difference, but there be
many good folk who cannot see it.
The difficulty lies in the fact that we
are prone to impute to those who dis
pie. ;e us an intent to do violence to
all things good. That has been the
vice of shallow brains since time
began.
A good many of US who boast that
we are ready to fight for our politics
or our religion are really only itching
to smite some one who criticises us
for holding the views we espouse.
doubt if half the good people who are
proud to fight the battles of the Lord
and of their party are in deed and in
truth standing up for either religious
or civic good. I fear that they're
merely trying to take some of the
conceit out of those hardy persons who
dare to differ with them and that they
have stolen the livery of the Lord to
serve a very self opinionated devil.
After all, there are few martyrs for
principle. Usually, we fight our neigh
bors over differences of opinion, not
SO much because our principles are
good as because they are ours. We
are inclined, of course, to believe them
impeccable because we happen to
have eSpoused them, but their merits
are rather an excuse than q cause for
our belligerency. Otherwise men
would never slay others for religions
sake and there would be vastly fewer
broken heads in politics.
Clean, clear-headed devotion to
principle bespeaks tolerance. Blows,
in behalf of ones convictions are sell
dom necessary nowadays and, when
they are, should be given rather in
sorrow than in anger. Moreover, no
creed is likely to profit by unreason-
ing support. 1t i'll becomes an advo-
cate to demand that others admit the
correctness of his position beyond all
possibility of error. Moreover, a mod
est advocacy, although not so snowy,
is far more impressive than blatant
dogmatism. When one forgets these
truths, it is probable that he is de-
Tending his conceit rather than his
conscience.
A million superstitious devotees of
a religion will not convince one sane,
educated man. Neither will a like
number of fanatic partsans convert a
single thinking person to their po-
litical creed. Before we are convinced
of your credibility we want to know
that you are both sane and unpreju-
diced. We want to know that you are
fighting for a principle rather than
airing a grievance.

Excellent advice for some folk, from

its assertion: A woman, who looked
real stylish was heard TO whisper to
another, one evening at church, Il have

There's too much blamed boasting,
declares the Concordia Kansan, and it
is possible to pillow in Kansas any
month of the winter. What the heck
is there enticing about that? Doesn't
a farmer want to rest some, too?
Just what the task is that confronts
the Democrats of the state and nation
is expressed concretely by the Cawker
City Ledger, as follows: Republicans
are now insisting that the Democrats
shall at once and forthwith proceed to
satisfactorily solve all the questions they
have been unable or unwilling to solve
during the last forty years, and if all
these questions are not disposed of at
the first session of congress they are
going to roar nightly.

Most of our relatives gave US useful
