ton was only fairly we'll attended
the weather being very unfavoraole
and those who were present were
splendidly entertained by the able, elo'
quent and inspiring address by MT
H. E. Griffith of Knox college, Gales

was THE High Seat in the Kingdom,
and he applied it to men in their d1f
ferent ambitions and struggles for pro.
motion and place.
He referred to the disciples and
their meeting with the great Leader
There were some of them seeking
places at His right and others at HIS
left. The ideal manner of deserving
promotion and gaining a high seal is
by service u,selhshly given. A mar
helps himself by helping others-by
earnest, active, unselfish service for,
not himself, alone, but for the uplifs
of the great brotherhood of man, and
in aiding to induce mankind to rec,

Though the audience was not large
1t was appreciative and the address
was listened to with the closest at

We are doing a superior line of
printing in our job department just
now, and our sale bills are the talk
of the county. Week before last we
got out an order of bills for a farm
er north of town and they were so at
tractive and nifty that he couldn't be-
gin to take are of the crowds that
focked to the sale. After getting
the top price for every animal, i'm
plement and article on the bill, the
auctioneer simply couldn't stop. The
people just clamored for more. The
farmer, in the hope of driving them
away, put up his mother-in-law. She
brought $160 on the hoof. Then he
offered his mortgage for sale. A
lifelong frienship between two old
neighbors was shattered as each tried
to outbid the other. 1t was finally
knocked down to the richer mar who
was promptly knocked down by the
poorer. He sold the weeds along
the roadside. He sold a gold brick
that he bought in Chicago during the
Worlds Fair. He sold the ruts in the
road in front of his place and then of
fered to sell the secret of where he
had the sale bills printed. We can
not give the results as the returns
are not in. They are bidding yet.
That's the kind of sale bills we print.

White Men La Ironics.

The Caribbean tropics are a garden
of delights for the rich man, and an
Ell Dorado. In sugar, in cotton, in cat
tie pastures, that world holds treas
ure today greater than the treasure
shipped by the Spaniard through Pan
anna the golden. The Caribbean
tropics are good. indeed, to the man
strong enough to be master. They
are good, too, to their own poor, for
they curse their natives with no cold
and rarely with famine; but for the
poor white man from the north they
are hill. It is not due only to the
risks Of the crop. 1t is due to the So
cial conditions that forbid the white
man in the tropics from laboring with
the hands. No white man can do it
in the islands or In Central America
and keep his caste. Only in Panama,
where an entirely artificial and unique
condition has been made by the crea-
tors of the wonder of the isthmus can
it be done.-Julius Muller, in. the Cen
fury Magazine.

TIME TO EXERCISE CAUTION
Strenuous Exertion of Any Kind Is
Not for Those Who Have Reached
Middle Age:

The dancing craze has brought up
once more the question of exercise
for middle-aged people, and both sides
have been taken with fervor. A pro-
fessional strong man is quoted as say
ing that golf is too severe for men
who come to it late, and recommend
ing a weekend Of complete rest rath-
er than exercise for people of years
who fee run down. Perhaps that is
the safer side to take If one must
generaliZe, but congratulations upon
such a question are very difficult. Age
is not properly to be measured in
years, but in the actual condition of
the individual; SO great are the ef-
fects of heredfty, habits, environment,
ETC., that a man of sixty and n of
forty may be contemporaries. But GER
tainly after middle life is reached 1t
is the part of prudence to make sure
that there are no weak spots before
going in for a more active life. There
is something in the saying that a man
is as young as he feels, but n Is
apt at times to feel younger than
he is, and in one Of these paroxysms
of youthfulness, such as the c%ontagion
of the tango may bring on, he can cas-
lily by indiscretion do himself an in
jury. No doubt those who stand most
in need Of caution are those who in
youth have been noted for strength,
agility and skill, and who have long
led a sedentary life. They are apt to
be impulsive and energetic: they have
a pride in physical accomplishment
and a high standard; what seems to
them a mere romp may be really a
severe tax upon vital organs long &C
customed to inactivity.-Spring1eld
Republican.
