When the dinner bell Of this nation

Wanted a Little Praise himself

Wanted a Little Praise himself.
Following a disastrous fire In IL west
ern city, many men and women gath
cred to look ut the ruins. Some of the
ulen, seeing that wall near which
they were standing WAS topping. made
haste to get out of the way and mar
rowly escaped being crushed.
Johnny Brabiscn. good Irish citi-
zen, was so near the wall that he could
not escape with the others. SO, whirl-
ing about, he made for Il door in the
wall. burst through it and came out on
the other side safe and evidently very
proud of his exploit, Women who had
shut their eyes and shrieked when they
saw his danger now gathered round
him in great JOY aud cried out:
praise heaven. Johnny Brubison,
down on your knees and thank heav-
en-
"Yis, yis.' said he. "and | will. but
wasn't it injaneyyous In me, now?"-

A DIVINE COVENANT.

God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order of COM
panionship, civilization has lowered
to It's greatest heights. In this rela-
t4onship, God has blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years of progress. she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy
man by asking for suffrage, thereby
by amending an agreement to which
she was not a party
Woman, remember that the Israelite
scorned divine covenant, and as q
result wandered forty years in the
wilderness without God. Likewise
man should remember that 1t Is q
dangerous thing to debase woman by
law. Rome tried lowering woman's
standard and an outraged civilization
tore the clothes on the backs of the
human race and turned them out to
roam In the world naked and I'M
ashamed.

THEMISTOCLES

When Themistocles was asked by
his host at q dinner party to enter
tain the guests by playing the lutte, he
replied-|that he could not play the
fiddle, but that he could make small
town great city. We have in this
nation many politicians who are good
"hddlers,' but they cannot make
small town a great city. We are over
run with orators who can play upon
the passions of the people, but they
can't put brick and mortar together
We need builders.
Let those who hunger and thirst for
power understand that the highest
glory of a statesman Is to construct,
and that it is better for man that he
should build public highway than
that he should become Governor of a
state, and that he start plow than
that he become the author of law.
The true test of craftsmanship is the
pillow and the hammer, so let those
who would govern, first build.
