A Chronic Disease

One Of the most deadly and greatest of
spreading diseases is the "Knockerbetis.
Like all diseases the "knockerbetis
tears down and destroys, but never builds
or creates. Once man acquires an attack
of this ''Joy Killer" he is of very little use
to himself or humanity. 1t is produced by
restraint, ungratihcation, disappointment,
ideness, narrow mindedness and ignorance.
When in full control of its victim a very
unpleasant atmosphere is created in his
vicinity. 1t breeds in heads of very small
mentality, and when it finds fertile soil, it
increases very rapidly. Any one coming
within the radius of the victims vocal ex-
tremities is subjected to an attack. 1t is
hard to repel if one does not prepare and
guard aiganst it. The best way to prevent
the disease, is to wear earmuffs and quaran-
tine its victims, or educate them. The
main reason why the disease spreads so
rapidly is on account or SO many fertile
breeding places. The 'Knockerbetis"
germs are found in every community, and
they make it their business to infest every
possible breeding place. The symptoms of
"Knockerbetis' are easy to note. Per ex-
emple: when man has no particular busi-
ness of his own, but takes pleasure in try
ing to run the business of others; when he
never looks for good, but always finds the
evil; when he starts to push against the
pusher, pull against the pullers and boost
against the boosters, he has an ingrowing
attack of 'sKnockerbetis.' He should be
stunned with the pest, because he is pest.
After he has come under the influence of the
disease, he becomes a melgomaniac, and
believes everything he says. Beware of
| the "Knocker." He means only harm and
can see nothing good.-Reformatory Pillar.

Psychological Moment Spells
Opportunity.

What is the psychological moment? You
hear it on all sides. 1t is the one big mo-
ment sought. To choose "pshy cological
moment is deemed the assurance of sue
cess.
The man or woman who recognizes it
reaps the reward. A prominent business
man told me the other day that all his
achievements were due to his embracing
the psychological moment when it offered
itself.
''is that all life in its present busy trend is
run on pendulum of psychological mo-
ments- The discriminating man, who
knows when to act, at the most propitious
minute, or hour, or day, if you please, is
he who arrives on schedule time.
"In word, it is the same old opportuni-
ity, with speed attachment. And strang
to say, it knocks every minute of the hour.
Most of the time there is nobody home,
and that is why we have Men Who Fall. )"
Much wisdom in that Mr.. Business man.
l know man who has had every chance to
be within the circle of achievement ann he
is broken down, spiritless and tired, though
young IN years. His father provided for
him the best education, money to start with,
and in fact everything to lay the foundation
for future development; but when the psy-
Geological moment came along in the course
of this development, he was ''treated the
crowd
l also know young woman whose de-
voted mother slaved and toled that the girl
might learn something to make her self
supporting. But she wanted only fun and
frolic, and now she is alone and sad and
helpless. In word the psychological mo-
ment is the golden one. Here are a few ex-
amples of it. 1t is the moment:
When the angry word is withheld even
though it stiles.
When you snatch victory out of defeat,
because you will not bow to the latter.
When you refuse to frown on the man
who is down, but give him the needed boost.
When you don't sign the note of friend
because you want to keep him as such.
When your Office boy gets the raise he
deserves.-Our Paper.

A FALLACY lies at the root of the labor
question; that is, the illogical admission
that man has a right to be idle, if he so
prefers. The choice of employment and
the right to demand a just wage for work
done, does not rest upon dogma SO perni-
ciOus. The law of labor is an inherent ob-
legation as well as a necessity. Personal
self-support, to the extent of personal abil-
ity is duty. Individual support at the
expense of others violates the principle that
aggregated labor is essential to the public
good. The aggregate of protection which
society insures, is the measure of the obi
cation which exaCts willing industry and
makes voluntary idleness crime. No ci-
tizen is exempt from summons to the ma
tiOnal defence. He is equally required to
contribute to the common good, through
the equally important ordinary relations
with which everyday labor is allied.
There is a perennial nobeness, and
even sacredness, in work. Were he ever
so benighted, or forgetful of his high call
ing, there is always hope in man who ac-
tually and earnestly works; in idleness a
lone there is perpetual despair. Consider
how, even in the meanest sort of labor, the
whole soul of man is composed into real
harmony. He bends himself with free va
lor against his task; and doubt, desire, sor-
row, remorse, indignation, despair itself
shrink murmuring far off in their caves.
The glow oflabor in him is purifying fire,
wherein all poison is burned up; and of
smoke itself there is made bright and
blessed flame.
At the instant man says, 81 will be
idle, and take the consequences, he be-
comes dependent upon others, and forces
them to do for him that which he is bound
to do for himself
Blessed is he who has found his work;
let him ask no other blessedness; he has
life of purpose. Labor is life. From the
heart of the worker rises the celestial force,
breathed into him by Almighty God, a
wakening him to all nobleness, to all know
ledge. Hast thou valued patience, cour-
age, openness to light, or readiness to own
thy mistake? In wrestling with the dim
brute powers of fact thou wilt continually
learn. For every noble work the possibil-
tiles are diffused through immensity, un-
discoverable, except to faith.
Man, son of heaven! Is there not in
thine inmost heart spirit of active method,
giving thee no rest till thou unfold it?
Complain not. Look up. See thy fellow
workmen surviving through eternity, the
sacred band of immortals.-
