The Wrong Term.

4 ERE is one that was told by
" Senator William Hughes OF
i i Jersey the other afternoon in
demonstrating that when a mar
wants to lucidly express himself he
cannot be too careful in picking out
the right brand OF language.
One Sunday morning some time ago,
according to the Senator. the parson of
of a small church in one OF the back
counties tenderly announced that he
had received a call from another field.
At the conclusion of the service the
parson was approached by one OF the
deacons
IT have been thinking about the an
nouncement you made. parson." said
the deacon. Are they offering vow
any more money In that new fieId?"
''Oh, yes. brother" was the prompt
Iejoinder of the parson, three hundred
dollars"
We'll, don't know as I blame you,
parson," thoughtfully returned the dea-
con. but in making the announcement
you didn't use the right term. That
isn't call It's a raise "-Philadel-

SULZER TRIAL MANAGERS.

When Andrew Johnson, seventeenth President
was put on trial for high crimes and misdemeanors
the House which had impeached him selected as its
managers to conduct the proceedings:
John A. Bingham distinguished Ohio Repub-
lIcan; Thaddeus Stevens the most forceful Pennsyl
vania Representatives George S. Boutwell,, of Massa
chusetts, afterward Secretary of the Treasury; Gen
John A. Logan, of Illinois, afterward Republican
candidate for Vice President of the United States
James F. Wilson, of Iowa; Gen. Benjamin F. Butler
and Thomas Williams, of Pittsburgh
Although the impeachment failed, the circum-
stances attending the trial were such to heighten
popular opinion as 10 the impaTtality fairness and
patriotism of the tribunal before which the trial was
conducted with dignity, decorum, and soemnty.
Who is Conducting the Impeachment of the

THE SMUTTY RAG-TIME SONG.

The comic rag-tme song has become an institution
in the United States and in other countries.
Arthur Twining Hadley, in Influences of Modern
Thought" shows that the drama, poetry, and music
of nation is the key the philosophy and thought
of that nation.
Does any pubhc-spirited American want such
songs of suggestive and immoral nature are being
produced to be taken the keynote of his philos-
ophy, his inner thought, and nature?
There is a type of song sung here in America
which is a disgrace. The words openly suggestive
and vulgar, the names and titles are astonshingly
lewd, and yet they are played everywhere and the
words are the lips of young girls and young men
all the country. Is il that the parent does not
know what the daughter is saying that he is
callous?
Song writers and some people get out on the ar
gument of "Honi soft qui NAL pense"-evil to him
who evil thinks but any human creature over the age
Of eighteen years could not miss the implied meaning
of these songs.
There is a board of censorship which attends to
the production of clean and moral moving pictures.
Incorporation of such a board for the investiga-
ton and censorship of the pouar song is quite
necessary.

THE ONLY DISAGREEMENT.

The disposition on the part of few politicians
and few newspapers to quarrel with the Admins
traton's Mexican policy has had the mlschevous
result of leading Huerta to believe or to profess to
believe that the American people are at odds with
their President
There is some little difference of opinion about
what should be done in Mexico. But Mr.. Lind ought
to make it plain to Huerta that the principal dis
agreement is over how long the American people
should keep their hands off him.

How to Choose
YourOcCupation
MACHINIST.
By CELIA X. HUSIE-

I HhNAAAAfASAs
I-HE business of making machinery
and Its various parts is very IN
portant. There is a constantly
| growing demand for good ma
chinists. In fact, there is almost lack
Of skilled machinists. There are many
chances in this occupation which the
young. growing boy of, sixteen, with a
/ grammar school and no trade, would do
/ well to consider
The most necessary qualification to
become good machtnist is an actual
fondness for handling and working with
mechanical appliances. Good common
sense. willingness and strong, sound
body form the necessary requisites for
| the trade
The work can be learned we'll by ap-
premiership. Many machine shops take
limited number of apprentices each
year. A boy must be fifteen years
or over TO enter. A period of four years
is occupied in learning this work 1t is
never wise for a young man to special
ize too early in the beginning Of his
career. He should endeavor whenever
possible to learn all the details Uf the
work in its many different branches,
and specialize later.
An ambitious, industrious apprentice
desirous of success would do well TO
take an evening course in mathematics
and drawing while serving his term CT
apprenticeship
Whenever possible and desirable q
young man can take up special course
in one OF the technical institutes or
colleges of the country. This course
will give him a valuable technical train
ing which will later be supplemented by
actual experience in a machine shop.
The pay of a machinist averages from
SIS to S25 per week. The apprentice re-
ceives nOminally small sum after
averaging about Il cents an hour for
the actual time employed. Foremen
and master maehinists get proportion
ately larger salaries, according to their
ability and the extent Of the business
in which they are employed. The large
concerns. as a rule. pay more than
small establishments. The good me-
chanic usually has no difficulty in get
ting i lucrative place.

The boy twisted his cap in his fingers

Very WELL" continued the Judge. We
want to help boys who want to be good.
If you are going out to forget all about
this and begin stealing again you'll have
to take your punishment. That's the
way it should be. isn't it?" The Judge
made direct appeal to the boy.
Yes" the lad assented, and the Judge
went on.
I'm going to let you out on proba-
tion this time But there mustn't be
any more stealing. and Furthermore you
must be home by dark. You cannot run
around the streets at night unless your
