best living Americanpoet?" asks the Bos-
ton Globe. just at present there isn't any
Yorkville Enquirer: The best thing for
one to do with reference to saying mean
things, is to leave them unsaid. It always
pays one best to attend to ones own busi-
ness.

OF the Madero revolution against Diaz
With every change in power the situation

Proverbs.


The heaven for height, and the earth for
depth, and the heart of kings is unsearch-
able<-xxvi, 3.
As the bird by wandering, as the swallow
by flying, so the curse causeless shall not
come.-xxv, 2.
1t is the glory of God to conceal . thing
but the honor of kings is to search out q
matter.-xxv, 2.
As an earring of gold, and an ornament
of fine gold, SO is wise reprover upon an
obedient ear.-xxv, IL.
Lay not wait, o wicked man, against the
dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his
resting place.-xxiv, 15.
Say not, will do so to him as he hath
done to me: will render to the man ac-
cording to his work.-xxiv, 20.
Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down
in the midst OF the sea, or as he that lieth
upon the top of a mast.-xxiii, A.
AS he that taketh away garment in
cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, SO
is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart.
XIV, 20.
AS the cold of snow in the time of har-
vest, so is faithful messenger to them that
send him: for he refresheth the soul of his
masters.-xxv, Is.
I My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart
shall rejoice, even mine, Yea, my reins
shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right
things.-xxiii, 1915.
They have stricken me, shalt thou say,
and ! was not sick; they have beaten me,
and felt it not: when shall awake?
will seek it yet again.-xxiii, IS.
Debate thy cause with thy neighbor him
self; and discover not a secret to another
lest he that heareth it put thee to shame,
and thine infamy turn not away.-25, 9-10.
My son, fear thou the Lord and the king
and meddle not with them that are given to
change: for their calamity shall rise sud !
denly; and who knoweth the ruin of them
both ?-xxiv, 21-22.
My son, eat thou honey, because it is
good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet
to thy taste: SO shall the knowledge OF
wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast
found it, then there shall be reward, and
thy expectation shall not be cut off.-xxiv,
14-15.
If thou forbear to deliver them that are
drawn unto death, and those that are ready
to be slain; if thou sayest, Behold, we
knew it not; doth not be that pondereth
it? and he that keepeth the soul, doth not
he know it? and shall not he render to every
man according to his works?-xxiv, H. IL
These things also belong to the wise. 1t
is not good to have respect of persons in
Judgment. He that sayeth unto the wicked,
Thou art righteous; him shall the people
curse, nations shall abhor him: But to
them that rebuke him shall be delight, and
good blessing shall come upon them.-

THE POWER OF GOOD LITERATURE.

We believe that clean lives and honest
dealings, high motives and pure impulses,
which are so much to be desired and are so
much sought after, depend on chaste and
approved liturature as we'll as on religious
teachings. G.. D. Warner tells us the Bible.
as book of religion and religious truth, a
rule of conduct and guide to Heaven,
with its precepts and laws, might be suffi-
cient to enable man to make a decent pill
grimage On earth in the hope of better
country to come, but as great and the
greatest literary production, its poetry,
traditions, its stories and parallels, its ex-
altations and consultations, powerfully and
irresistibly impel men to live in region
above the sordidness of actual life. All
other books of like import, of similar liter
ary merit, will have an incalculable good
markedly influence US by arousing the
the best If our thoughts and emotions,
ideals and motives be low, vulgar and i'm
pure, so will our lives and conduct be.
Trashy, immature and prurient reading
serves no other purpose than as stimulus
to whatever in thought and Imagination, in
motives and impulse, is indecent, immoral,
unholy, reproachful and reprehensib!e. A
mans words and acts are reflex of his
mind; his sentiments an outpouring from
his heart. 1t is therefore important that
what we read should be "true and modest
and just and holy and lovely, of good re-
port, virtue and discipline" which are both
learned and received and heard in good
literature. Good literature will inspire
convictions, impressions, spirit and aims
which will elevate, ennoble and enrich.

Louisville Courier Journal: The aver
age value per head of beef cattle in the
United States has almost doubled since
1910, though there are six million fewer
cattle now than then. The value per head
on January 1st was S3l. .13, compared with
S19.07 in 1910. The value of milk cows in
the United States was S53.94 per head in
1914, and $500 in 1910. The hog that
was worth S9.17 in 1910 is worth $40. 40 in
1914. The average sheep is worth cents
less than it was 1910, but is worth 10 cents
more than it was in 1913. The sheep, like
the cattle, are falling off in numbers. Of
all the meat animals, hogs alone show a
small increase. The estimated total num-
Der Of these three classes of meat animals
on January /, 1914, was LA ,5O7 900, as
compared with Isl ,812, 600 in the census
year of 1910, or decrease of 1905, 600
animals; but because of the higher prices
the present farm value of these animals is
estimated at S1,930, ,0s7 600, as compared
with 81 ,534 600, 900 in the census year, or
an increase in valuation of 1896, ,487 900.
