Then and Now.

In days gone by if some one said
That some one else was wrong
He had a certain wholesome dread :
OF language overstrong.
For if in words all crudely grim
He stigmatized his foe
A challenge was dispatched to him,
His courage true to show.
Now if you cali man crook,
A CRATER or clown,
Or write about him in a book
Or bawl him through the town,
He merely makes your coarse con-
tempt
A kind of indoor sport;
And from all peril quite exempt
He 6ghts it out in court,

CUNNING VERSUS WISDOM.

Cunning differs from wisdom
as twilight from open day. He
that walks in the sunshine goes
boldly forward by the nearest
way; he sees that where the
path is straight and even he
may proceed in security, and
where it is rough and crooked
he easily complies with the
turns and avoids the obstruc-
lions. But sGe traveller in the
dusk fears more as he sees less;
he knows there may be danger
and therefore suspects that he
is never safe; tries every step
before he fixes his foot and
shrinks at every noise lest vic.
lence should approach him. Wis
dom comprehends at once the
end and the means, estimates
eaSiness or difficulty and is eau
tious or confident in due proper
ton. Cunning discovers little at
q time and has no other means
of certainty than multiplication
of stratagems and superfuity of
suspicion. The man of cunning
always considers that he can
never be too safe and therefore
always keeps himself enveloped
in mist. impenetrable, as he
hopes. to the eye of rivalry or
curiosity. DIR. johnson.

Industrious farmer. Best wishes go to

Now while some Of us are discovering
so much bad in the world is it not a
pleasure to rally round the men and wo-
men who are making grand discoveries
for good in the creation of christendom !?
While the clouds are hanging over our
heads and the gloom OF civilization is

satisfaction to hear the ringing cheer
from the men and women who are search
ing out the glory of a time ahead when
the clouds shall rift and the gloom shall
evaporate before the meridian heat OF the
MONDAY of universal peace? We must
love these fog lifters whose eyes pierce
the mist and the cloud and the gloom,
where a radiant prospect glittering like
beam of light dances upon the sea.

ture, of that future which is sure to come
where love and work are to be the crafts

A Successful Runaway

The Unty Glass of the Congl church
scored notable success in the presenta-
ton of THE Ruuaways" at town hall
last Thursday and Friday nights. I'm
der the able direction of Prof. r. G..
Reynolds the entertainment was staged
and presented in a manner that was far
above the average amateur production,
each member of the cast fitting happily
into the part assigned and all, collective
ly and individually, entering into the
spirit of the refreshingly breezy produc-
ton in way that did not admit of
dull moment.
Although the weather was decidedly
unfavorabe on both nights, there was
good attendance, especially on Friday
evening, and the Unity girls cleared
about SIS after paying all expenses.
The character of Texana Gump. the
irresponsible servant girl with an ire
pressable love for phon-e-graph music,
lost nothing in the hands of Miss Eugen-
lie Pinney, whose Interpretation of the
part made it stand out strongly. Miss
Pinney's work in this role was unusually
good and added much to the success of
each performance.
Mrs. Helen Robinson, as the bright
vivaciors Jean, the Little Miss Fixit,"
took the part especially well, as did Miss
Lefa Nay, the young wife who deeply
loved her busy, matter-of- fact husband,
her clever acting making much of the
part. Miss Nan Wombell. Victoria, the
writer of up.to-the- minute detective sto-
ries, who-ran-away with her own dia-
monds to get the setting of the newest
detective story, took the part to perfee-
ton, and with her chauffeur, Whittier
Gates, who was long on slang and short
on gasolene, added much to the excite
ment as well as the comedy of the piece.
Maurice White, as the sheriff, made
much of the part and his makeup, as
well as those of his deputies, Lloyd r OBJ
inson, and Robert Eaton, was awe inspir-
ing to say the least.
III. A. Smalley, as Max Juniper, who
did not believe in showing his love for
his wife like kid lover, did some good
acting apd represented the character
with much ability.
Fred Child, the amorous Alonzo Will
ling, made a real hit with his unsuocess-
full attempt to make love to Miss Jean.
The second night this part was taken by
Mr.. Reynolds, owing to the illness of
Fred Child, the former showing his
ability as an actor, as we'll as in staging
the play.
The specialties by LITTLE Miss Mys-
terry, Mr.. Reynolds, Fred Child and
Horace Powers, we're very interesting, the
latter monologue the rst night, and his
Ford Pantomime on Friday night being
well received.

The Library Location

Notwithstanding the town has voted
that the new library building be erected
onthe high school grounds, there is
quite a bit of opposition to this. Sew
eral think that a much better place can
be selected and we are informed there are
those who are ready to contribute liber-
ally towards purchasing another site-a
location which they think will better ac-
commodate all-students and people
than the above-named place and add to
the beauty of the village. We believe
that the town having expressed itself as
to location that should settle the matter.
However the columns of this paper are
open for full and free discussion of the
question and if anybody has a good
reason why this vote should be revoked
it is up to them to state it.

can tell. 1t all depends in the considera
ton of any measure on how it happens
to feel at the psychological moment.
The House has passed the bill asking
for modest appropriation for the ex
cellent purpose of purchasing prison
farm near the state prison where certain
of the prisoners may be at work to
an advantage to them both bodily and
mentally, but income may be derived by
the state from a large farm properly
worked and it may later to a great ex-
tent be selfsupporting. Certainly this is
a good idea, and directly in the line with
economy and prison reform.
The special committee on the PROPOSE
ton to suggest some means whereby there
might be more room for the purposes of
the capitol reused out very Unexpectedly
last week and gave hearing at which a
large number of officials and representa-
tive citizens gave host of good reasons
for an enlargement. The committee
heartily admits this general necessity,
but-as it has as yet submitted no report
it may be that it can't make up its
mind what to recommend. Meanwhile
not peep has been heard from the Senate
wherein reposes the repeating act re-
specting the law passed two years ago
authorizing the investment of 100000
in improvements, and if it don't concur
with the House and pass the bill before
the old law will stand and
the expenditure would have to be made.
This would certainly solve the problem,
with vengeance.
