Bear and Forbear
A Sermon on Divorce
By Kinahan CORVALLIS

Doomed be Divorce! that sunders
And makes a mockery of marriage
vows,
And violates the sanctities of life
Divorce the scourge and scandal of the
age,
That wrecks the home and wrongs the
Thus robbed of half it's due-parental
care
And undermines that bulwark, once so
The FamiiyEthe Unit of the State!
Alas! tnat this should bear the seal of
law
That thus the, marriage rite should be
profaned!
Doomed be Divorced that ever tempts
And morally society pollutes,
Oft too by, falsehood and collusion
That more than breaks the family in
And to Change of partners paves the
That panders to base passions and de-
sires,
And treats as naught the binding
The sacred vows of union till death
The-should be-irreVocable II will
Before the altar solemnly exchanged!
Doomed be .. ,Riyorce! that fosters breach
of faith
Divorce with its demoralizing blight !
Divorce with cruel, desolating touch.
That leaves of marriage naught but
broken vows
With buried hopes, and pangs of vain
And memories and SORROWS dire and
dread,
And bleeding, hearts, that once were
Divorce that Christianity defes!-
Divorce encouraged by unholy laws
That tell their tale in misery and woe!
Let wrongs be righted in the marriage
BY wiser means than to disrupt the
And blast and brand, perchance. the
Innocent
Yea oft unjustly, ruin and degrade
Save where no truer remedy remains
Let those united learn to nobly bear,
And in patient spirit to forbear.
Thus Harmony and Happiness would
And none, for trifing ills, as now,
And bring their marriage to a tragic
end.
Bear and Forbear! Let Love regain its
And tenderness and sympathy unite.
And serve as oil upon the waters
Forgive though it be harder to forget,
For 1t is human-true or false-to err,
While to forgive is noble and divine!
And let parental love protect the child,
And guard 1t from the ruin of the
homei
And those united bend instead Of break!
For broken ties are backward steps to
shun.
Let those who. would. in haste and an
Be mercifui and just, and kind, though
foes,
And pause before the fatal die is cast.
Nor let offended pride, or fancied
wrongs.
Or mercenarv or ambitious aims.
Fer steel the heart against forgive
ness sought!
Nor let the tyrant jealousy hold sway,
Or breed breed suspicion that may baseiess
But strive to mend instead Of end the
And seek in reconciliation balm!
T.
Let marriage be the prize and crown
And reverence and loyalty command!
Let those who marry keep their promise
true,
And thus unbroken happiness enjoy!-
Yea make. their home a paradise on
So adding to the charm and Joy of life,
And fortifying both against It's Ills
Each unto each a blessing and sup

IN THRIFTY NEW HAMPSHIRE
kansas city Star. |

Up in the barren lands of New
Hampshire the visitor from the fav-
ored West wonders how anybody ever
had the nerve to try to dig living out
of the rocky soil. Yet the State is
traversed by macadam roads in good
condition.
The country was so poor that the
people had to have good roads If they
were to make a living.
1t is only rich districts like Missou-
ri that can stand the extravagant
waste of muddy roads.

The State From Day to Day

South Bethlehem, Pa. Sept. g.
During rough sport at the noon hour,
in the shipping department of the
Saucon plant of the Bethlehem Steel
Company, Joseph Wean. 16 years old,
of Northampton Heights, was fatally
injured and died as a result of being
inflated like balloon by a hose which
is used in driving chipping hammers.
The perpetrator of the unfortunate
jest has not been seen since the boy
died.
A dastardly attempt to suffocate all
the boarders in the home of G. w.
Gunzenhauser was made yesterday
by John E. Bickell, who had been a
boarder there, and run up large bill
and borrowed money from the owner.
No other reason for his action was as
signed. Luckily the attempt failed
and only discomfort followed the in
halation of gas. -
Reading, Pa. - Beautiful whiskers,
parted in the middle, re-enforced by a
spectacular equipped wardrobe, and a

travelling salesman. "Whiskers' said
that she was too good for an ordinary
man. The implication was certainly
true because the old man was ex-
tremely extraordinary.

The Typesetter

The work of setting type is one of the
most important branches of the printing
trade, aud requires a certain amount of
skill which can only be acquired by ex-
perience. Therefore the experienced
typesetter is valuable man in printing
business.
There are several definite classes of
typesetters or cOmpositors. The compos-
itor employed in the setting of type for
books is one of them. Another the job
compositor, Another very important class
in the newspaper printing Office working
the linotype machine.
Every young man who desires to become
typesetter must possess a certain definite
liking for mechanical work. He must
have a quickness of eye, be rapid in his
movements and be at at all times wide
awake. He must especially be master
of spelling and punctuation and have
good grammer school education. The
only way to learn the work of typesetting
is to enter printing shop as an ap-
prentice. Three to five years is the time
usually required to complete the term of
apprenticeship. All learners receive
small wage for the period of apprenticeship,
which varies with the locality size Of shop,
and kind of printing done. The average
pay, however is one dollar per day.-At
the end of three to five years the man be-
comes journeyman printer, or com
position, entitled to full pay.
Most type settlers receive from $24.O0
to $36. 90 per week. Foremen in Offices re-
ceive more. The highest paid men in this
line of business are, those engaged in set
ting up type for advertisements. This
work requires special care and skill.
These men receive as high $4,000 per
week.
