MANHOOD

Life's best prizes are won, not by
adroitness or sharpness; nor by skill
or strength, but by the grand thing,
manhood. Honorable, educated,
active, cultivated. manhood is to
rule this world.
Always there have been bad men.
corrupted, degraded, but sharp and
cunning, who have made great gains
bv great frauds or crafty swindling,
and have held some sort of a posi-
tion in the world in spite of their
want of character. for there are par
asites and money worshippers who
homer and applaud the man without
caring to know how he came by his
possessions. But there are except
Ions. The true man is, yet, the
things most priced by the great
world. True manhood is the wis
est, sharpest, strongest, most clear
sighted far sighted contestant on the
battle field of life.
Manhood carries the sharpest
sword. gains the truest success, and
wears the brightest crown. No one
is, or can be. the best preacher, the
best lawyer. the best physician, or
the best business man, who is not
truly and unselfshly a man. If you
would climb to the high places,
carry the richest prizes, get the most
enjoyment out of life and have the
sublimest old age, you must have
every atom of dishonesty hammered,
and burned out if necessary.
You must become as sound as
twenty. four karat gold, as true as
the best steel. You must prove
yourself as reliable as the course of
nature, as incorruptible as the sun
light and as pure aud sweet in your
personality as the breeze of heaven.
You must scorn all meanness, loath
all false pretenses, be afraid of every
kind of dishonesty, and hate lie as
you hate the devil himself. You
must stoutly determine to be what
you appear.
There is a premium on men like
that. The great world, disgusted
with frauds and pretenders and
shams of all kinds, will know such
man as soon as he appears. 1t will
prize him, honor him, reward him,
make him famous, and render him
immortal.

And holler loud as they can yell.
When some man has done extra
we'll.
They'll clap and cheer and make a
noise,
Just like a bunch of eager boys,
And talk about it to the men
Who sit around them, there and
then.
No matter if they're strangers quite,
They both are fans. 30 that's all
right,
Good boyp' they yell. You're do
ing fine,
Just hit her out, now, on line
You whacked a home run once be-

A corking throw. oh we're all glad
That you're out there at second base

NEWS OF ENSLEY

Real estate dealers of this city are complaining of the vandalism that has been prevalent fin Ensley and vicinity for the past few weeks in reference to vacant houses. They allege that hun dreds of dollars damage has been done in the smashing of windows and door glass alone. It is understood a com mittee from the real estate men of this city will appear before the city commits sioners and ask for some measure of relief. Captain Donlin and the police department have given special attention to this situation, but as yet have failed to locate the offenders.
 It is said that the miscreants are band of boys who commit these depre- dations after dark. and the real estate men claim that not only do they break every pane of glass in the vacant house. but that in some instances they have gone inside the houses and from pure wantonness have defaced the walls and woodwork. They have offered rewards for information that will leao to the ar rest and conviction of the guilty parties, but so far without any results, and the vandalism continues.
 Captain Donlin has instructed the members of the police department to re- double their efforts to capture the of lenders. The real estate men state they will prosecute anyone guilty of this of- fense to the full extent of the law.
