A ROLL OF DISHONOR

lhe organization fathered by Rev. John Haynes Holmes, pledging
IT'S members neither o enlist, MOI to approve of the enlistment OF
others Tor any military O. naval service in international war;" is IS
arrant a bit of organized treason as could we'll be imagined. says the
New York American.
PROBABLY IS good a way as any to combat it would be to print the
names of those who join it. The mn who will pledge himself to never
ut a hand to prevent the destruction of his city, the slaughter of his
neghDors, or tn violation of the women of his native land, will scarcely
command the respect Or the friendship Of his neighborhood.
Why, by the way, does the word international appear in that
amazing pledge
Do the promoters OF this new peaceat-any-price league regard civil
war as less terrible than defense of their homes against foreign invasion?
Or is the Rev. Mr. Holmes thrntly drawing his pledge % a not to n
terfere with the enlistment of his associates in bodies that make "a
on unarmed laboring lei as recently in Colorado?

GOD HELPS THOSE" ETC.

In an interesting article in the Stockton Mail, Mrs. 1. Clare Davis,
writing of the progress of her home city and what its people we're III
against in making its resources known, pens the following paragraph
which is as applicable to Carson City as to the California town of
which she writes:
II merely wish to say that Stockton has had a Vision and that is
why Stockton is growing. Time "a when we waited for capital to
come in and do things for u.s. Now We do things and capital comes in.
We used to think things were good enough" and planned only for the
moment. Our vision has expanded and w e are planning now for the
years OF before. We are blocking out the future and inevitably the
diagram will be filled in with life, activity, prosperity"

ONCE-OVERS

Summertime is here and there are many little weekend parties and
many joyful reunions. Carry with you a determination to speak only
good of those whom you meet and of whom you talk.
You will cement old friendships and make many new friends quite
worth the while if you keep firmly to this resolution.
OF course, it would make a delicious morsel, and perhaps a mild
sensation, if you we're to tell some of the things you know-and a LOT
or that you have heard-about Bill u Bertha, but when you stop to
think it over, you will appreciate that a wise forgetfulness of your
friends shortcomings might be good for you as well a for them.
Talk about your friends as you'd like them to talk about you.
Don't go into a sick with a long-drawn face.
Have a smile.
Keep smiling.
Talk of cheerful things. .
Don't speak about the good times being enjoyed by friends of the
patient, in which it is impossible for him to participate. Instead, tell Of
plans which are to be carried ut as soon as the ill person RECEIVERS
Have some good news from friends and tell the good news in an
entertaining way. d
Refrain from subjects which might excite.
Don't stay too long. Frequent short calls are better Long one
tire the sick.
Above all, smile and bring with you the contagious medicine of joy.

One of Augustus blacksmiths who
has shop on the east side of the
river underwent an unpleasant expert
ence Tuesday while shoeing vicious
horse and is thanking his stars tina,
he came out of the scrape with no
more serious injury than that which
resulted from a general shaking up.
The blacksmith has a wealth of bush.y
black hair and as he had one of the
animals forward feet up on a stand :
ard for the purpose of raspIng the
hoof the horse reached down and get
ting a good hold on the mans hair
lifted him clear of the floor and SHOOT,
him as a terrier would shake a rat
The horse then dropped the man on
the floor and the latter lost no time in
scrambling out Of the animals reach
He was not injured by his shaking but
he says that he thought at first that
every hair on his head had been pulled
out by the roots.
