There Are Many Young
People Who Need
That Push.

And there are valuable young
people all around us that need just
that initial push. Those that have
the proposed enterprise in charge
will have to turn down good
many applicants. for there are
hosts OF people in the world that
are born with a genius for lean
ing and who take much more
pleasure in eating their bread than
they do in earning it.
But when that class have all
been screened through the sieve OF
physical, mental and moral invest
CATION, there will still remain
residue of manhood and woman
hood that is richly worth cultivat-
ing and whose failure to be helped
In the way intended means definite
loss to the public.

THE COUNTRY DOCTOR
BY WILLIAM r. KIRK.

~ AY in. day out night out. night IN,
Where snow is thick and fees are thin.
- He hustles with his CHEEKY grin
To fight with Ills.
The drives are long. the nights are cold,
He suffers hardships left untold
To call upon some mother old
Across the hills.
Little he says about his pay;
Often he gives his skill away,
And though he's getting bent and gray
He has wealth.
His life has been endless trial
His motto has been selfdeniAl:
Freely he gives from every vial
For some ones health
The gallant soldier goes away
While ffe and drum and bugle play
Bravely to conquer or to STAY
That is his part
The country doctor rides alone
Through rugged roads. DER stick and stone,
To heal men, not to make them moan;
God bless his heart.

DR.. PARKHURST
Writes on
Modern Dances
They are fads, tofill up the
emptytime and minds of
their deVOtees---A fund
to give the deserving a
start. 81
By REV DIR. CHARLES III. PARKHURST.

"H HE estimate that one will pass
on the troops of men and
= women with whom, at pres
ent, ballroom gymnastics consti-
stute the sum and substance Of
life will depend on what one con-
siders to be the real nature of the
delirium.
Even TO call it delirium may be
a misuse of terms, for it would i'm
ply a degree of mental infatuation
approaching to lunacy, and we
should be averse to supposing that
these stalwart men and beautiful
women are all of them candidates
for the madhouse. Such a posi-
bility cannot be quietly contem-
plated.
A broad view of the entire situa-
ton leads rather to the conviction
that the phenomenon which we are
now considering is due not SO
much to disordered mind as to
emptiness of mind, SO that what
is now going on is to be explained
on the familiar principle that ma
ture abhors vacuum, and that
these people are throwing them
selves into these fantastic gambol-
ings in order to satisfy an aching
void
The object is to get rid of the
emptiness, and when that is the
object it does not make so much
difference what 1t is filed in with.
They arc in this respect like GER
tain fish that always 90 through
the water with their mouths open,
everything being srist that comes

They're Not Insane; Just
Harmless Imbeciles,
Perhaps.

This acquits our gentlemen and
lady friends Of insanity, even if 1t
does carry with 1t a suggestion of
Intellectual imbecility. Some per
haps would prefer one and some
the other. This explanation is sug-
gested by the fact that what we
are now witnessing is nothing new
SO far as the essential features of
the case are concerned.
Some years ago it was bicycling.
Then, as now, it was the neither
extremities that were worked In
compensation for the inaction of
the cerebral extremity.
But people are, by the kind prov
idence of God, So constituted as to
be unable for long to forget their
brains, even If they make no prac-
teal use Of them; and so, after a
couple of years, the bicycles were
sent to the pawnshop or stored in
the garnet.
Then later on came the epoch
of bridge whist. It answered the
same purpose as bicycling, filled
the same chasm that tango, turkey
trot and similar gymnastic vaga-
ries fill now. 1t had its day, but.
as was recently remarked by lady
who used to teach bridge whist,
my occupation is gone; nobody is
playing it any longer"
What will come next no one can
foresee. Possibly these faddist de-
voices will conclude that their mis-.
taken craving will better be met by
more substantial and creditable
satisfactions.

Its Purpose Is to Help
Them Until They Can
Stand Alone.

Its purpose is not to take people
up and transplant them bodily. but
to furnish them with a temporary
but reliable staff upon which they
can lean till they are able to stand
down, unsupported, upon their own
feet.
To encourage others to help
themselves is the only kind of as
sistance that we can reasonably be
called to render except in cases OF
absolutely helpless poverty. Other
wise every nickel that is bestowed
in charity has only the effect OF
putting a premium upon pauperism,
Only those who are frequently
approached by such as think they
have a claim upon our beneficence
can realize how large Is the field
which an enterprise like the one
under consideration can occupy
and cultivate.
1t is easy to say that II a man
has the stuff in him he will win out
however adverse the circumstances
in which he is placed, but that is
not the fact.
The best of seed may lie in the
ground without terminating unless
1t has the encouragement of a lit

heavily laden train may be moved
with comparative ease after once
the wheels have begun to turn.
It is the start that costs the big

MALARIA.

I, {, hit has been definitely
proven that the disease known as
malaria is caused by the bite of
the mosquito of the genus called
Anopheies Claviger. The de-

not much doubt that sooner or

THE most over estimated

jority Of people go through life
without finding it out.
The average individuals idea
of the way to reform things is by
perpetual knocking, which per
haps explains why SO few abuses

Theoretically you can smash any

That the tastes of the large army of
amusement seekers in America are lean
ing more and more toward plays of a
farcical nature, is the belief of nearly
every firm of theatrical producers. The
public want to be amused rather than
instructed. is the way they figure the
situation and the present season would
seem to bear out this assertion. Take
the hits of the New York stage during
the past season. Ninety per cent of
them were musical farces, comedy
dramas. straight farces or musical
plays. all constructed with the one idea,
to create laughter.
IF you have a play that has good
comedy lines and situations they say
to would-be authors, ''let us read it.
If it contains bright lines-if it has
speed and action-if it is clean-in
short if it has a punch in it. we will
produce it for you."
