Keeping Young

In all natural and necessary labors,
as in the work of farm, in digging
and splitting, rowing, drawing water,
a man always appears young-is still
a boy. So in doing anything which is
still above him-which asks all his
strength and more; somewhat COM
mensurate with his ability, so that he
works up to it, not down upon it-he
is still a youth
There is the secret Of it as much as
any man has discovered the secret.
Keeping young by not hesitating to at
tack something new, where the path
has not been marked nor the way
learned. Looking to the future as a
treasure house still unexplored, a
mine unworked which we shall yet not
hesitate to work-that is the spirit of
youth. That more than resolving not
to be old holds the charm that is to
keep us young in heart.

The Personal Triumph

He was brought up under the most
wretched conditions. Charity the
Ragged School Union-helped him out
Of his crippled state. He had almost
no education. He belonged to the
class in which failure is explained by
wretched environment and lack of OPP
portunity.
According to all theories, he should
have become a pauper, an inmate of
some public institution, and charge
upon taxpayers and philanthropists.
But Dale refused to accept any ex-
cuse for his own failure.
Frome one of the unfit, he became
by his own persistent effort, "some one
to be proud off, He was only ''baf-
fed to fight better"
Honor is due him for his heroic
death but more honor for his herioc
battle and his personal triumph over
the hardest conditions of living.

A great many curious ideas exist in
various parts Of the world regarding
the dark spots in the moons disc. In
the eastern part of Asia the spots are
believed to be a rabbit or hare; the
Chinese, in particular, look upon them
as a hare sitting up and pounding rice
in a mortar Most Of the SiameSe take
the same view. Some few, however,
see in the moon a man and a woman
working IN a field. CuriOusly enough,
the North American Indians have al
most the same superstition as on an
old monument in Central America the
moon appears as a jug or vessel, out Of
which an animal like rabbit is jump
ing.
The South American Indians, on the
other hand, believe that girl, who had
fallen in love with the moon, sprang
upward toward it, was caught and
kept by it, and that it is her figure
which is seen on the moons face.
The Samoan islanders look on the
spots as representing woman car
rying a child, and many other south
ern peoples have similar beliefs, the
woman and child sometimes being al
tered into an old woman bearing a
burden on her back. The Eskimos

OVERRIDING Education

have been ruined by Over-e education.
You will note that very few Of the old
fashioned, useful wives and mothers
have been educated beyond the high
school or modest little college. Highly
educated women are nearly always
poor housekeepers, wives and moth
ers; there are exceptions to this rule,
but they are rare. Highly
men and women become conceited as
the children of the very rich, and
have as false notions Of life. There
is no case of bighead quite so object
ionable as that displayed by the over
educated. They claim superiority
they cannot prove, and always resent
it when people of less learning run
away from them in the practical affairs
of life. There is something unnatur-
al about anyone who has spent all his
life as a student or teacher. Probab-
ly it is impossible for anyone to ac-
quire too much real knowledge, but our
higher institutions teach much that is
not real knowledge.

Moon Theories

have an original superstition. They
say that one day Amiga, the moon,
chased her sister, the sun, in wrath; ;
just as he was about to catch her,
however, she suddenly turned around
and threw a great handful of SCOT in
his face and thus escaped him, and
of that SCOT he bears the traces to this
day.
The inhabitants of northwestern In
dia, who account for the moons
monthly disappearance by declaring
that she is burnt up regularly and re-
placed by a fresh moon, explain the
dark spots by saying that they are
the ashes of the former moon.
Other nations explain her disappear
ance in various ways; the Dakota In
dams have it that she is eaten up by
mice; the Polynesian superstition is
that the souls of the dead feed on her
according to the HottentOts, the moon
suffers from headache, and when it
gets very bad she hides her head from
the gaze of the world; the Eskimos
maintain that after shining for three
weeks she gets tired and hungry, and
Withdraws to take on enormous meals
after their own fashion, and then re-
appears and begins to shine again.

No longer do men seek the fountain
of perpetual youth that animated
Ponce de Leon in his explorations. The
magic of the older world has grown
too dim in our imaginations to supply
the motive power of our lives. Yet
men do still cling to the idea Of keep
ing young, young physically and young
in spirit. Far more than they dread
death do many men dread growing
old. But dwelling on their fear is no
help; it is not a sign Of youth to think
about age; to be apprehensive is not
an attribute of the young. 1t is when
"the world is all before them where
to choose" that the heart is young. 1t
is in keeping this attitude that men
come nearest to finding the springs of
never-ending youth. Emerson thought
of this and wrote this prescription:
eve ought never to lose our youth.

Excessive education harms as many

Day by day the proof goes on showing the pow

pie claim that advertising never did them any
good and there is some truth in their statement,
for successful advertising, above all demands IN
derstanding Of its methods. Selling space in a
paper does not guarantee success, but putting
brains into that space will bring the buyers to the
door in multitudes. Foreign advertisers recog-
nize to-day as never before the advantages coun-
try papers can give them in reaching their pub

three little figures. Those figures represent the
day, month and year to which the subscription &C

the date will show either in advance or so slight

cases however the arrears are larger than they
should be and while in a single instance the

equals many hundred dollars. Our readers have

This seems to be as ever a time Of differences
of opinion. Differences on religious Beliefs polit-
ical questions, moral issues, war matters, and
pretty nearly everything that men differ on, eX-
cept such inevitables as death and taxes While
we differ, in fact must differ according to the
light given us to see with, let us remember that
the cardinal principal of our republic lies in toll
erance toward the other man and what he holds
to be true. We came to this country, in many
cases, to escape the influence and dryrot of Bigot
ry but like the evil man, we carry our pestilence
into the newer life. We must be for generations
composed of many peoples and many beliefs. For
years to come while the merging continues, in the
forging process Of people will be the Saxon and
Celt, the Slav and Teuton, the Norsk and the Lat
in. The merging of these races will create in
time an American people. Cannot we in the cruc-
ible dwell in harmony observing the principles Of
our constitution and holding alike an equal rever
ence for our flag and what it stands for?

THE RATTLESNAKE.
(Brete HaTte.)

No life on earth or air sky;
The sunbeams, broken silently,
On the barred rocks around me lie
Cold rocks with half-warmed lichens
SCARED
And scales of moss; and scarce a yard
Away, one long strip, yellow-barred.
Lost in a cleft! IT'S but a stride
To reach it, thrust it's roots aside,
And lift it on thy stick astride.
Let stay! That moment is thy grace!
For round thee, shrilling air and space,
A chilling terror fills the place.
A sound as Of dry bones that stir
In the Dead Valley! BY yon fir
The Locust stops it's MONDAY whir!
The wild bird hears; smote with the
sound,
AS if by bullet brought to ground
On broken wing, dips wheeling round.
The hare, transfxed, with trembling
lip,
Hats, breathless, on pulsating hip,
And palsied tread and heels that slip.
Enough, old friend-'tis thou, Forget
My needless foot, nor longer fret
Thy peace with my grim castanet!
know thee! Yes, Thou mayest fore
go
That lifted crest; the measured blow
Beyond which they pride scorns to go.
Or yet retract. For me no spell
Lights those slit orbs, where, some
think, dwell
MachioIated fires of hell!
1 only know thee, humble, bold,
Naughty, with miseries untold,
And the old Curse that left thee cold
And drove thee ever to the sun,
On blistering rocks; nor made thee
shun
Our cabins hearth when day was
done.
And the spent ashes warmed thee best.
We knew thee-silent, joyless guest
On our rude ingle. Fen thy quest.
Of the rare miIk-bowl seemed to be
Naught but a brothers poverty
And Spartan taste that kept thee free
From lust and rapine. Thou, whose
| fame
Searches the grass with tongue of
! fame,
Making all creatures seem thy game
| When the whole woods before thee
rum
Asked but when all is said and
! done
To lie, untrodden, in the sun!

We had almost forgotten it in the stress Of
other things, but this week is Grant County Her
aids birthday. Seventy-four years ago about
this time, the founder of this paper, James M
Goodhue, established what was called The Wis
consin Herald. copy Of an early edition is on
the editors desk and it is both quaint and inter-
esting. The purpose of the early sheet according
to the title line, was the advancement Of litera-
ture and agriculture, news and arts. The sub
scription price was $3.50 per annun if paid in adj
vance, or if not paid until the end of the year,
$500 That Mr.. GOodhue was a man of parts is
evidenced by the style Of makeup and fluent inter-
est Of his composition. Then, as now subscribers
were urged to come forward when in arrears and
the matter is further indicated by small hand
at the beginning Of the eXhortation. Twenty
new subscribers are asked for who will pay corn
in advance at the market prices, and this offer
would be very timely to-day. Mr.. GOodhue was
I'm favor OF dancing, for he comments that Big
oy has never eradicated it and he trusts it never
viii He says furthermore, that dance will be
given at Potosi in the near future at the house Of
a Mr.. Moore. Mr.. J. a. Barber is attending the
territorial convention and suffering with illness;
but then as now Grant members are doing the
best they can. Grant county must have been in
teresting in the early days for this county is
one of the oldest settlements in Wisconsin.

Grant County Herald is old It has chronicled
the arrival of babes and years later spoken rever-
emily of their virtues when, as elderly men and
women they were silently laid to rest. It has seen
the Mexican war and told the story of the con-
quest of an Empire. 1t saw the rise of the great
Republican party and in no small way under the
guidance of the famous editor, J. c. Cover spoke
words of counsel and wisdom to the party. 1t
told the story of the great Rebellion, and week
by week came as a welcome visitor to hundreds of
boys at the front, fighting for their country It
has seen Wisconsin grow from a wild territory
into great agricultural commonwealth, famed
throughout the world Editors are evanescent;

quires a personality and tradition that is a
thing apart from those who by circumstance may
be guiding its destinieS.

tans most interesting article entitled Personal
Recollections of Abraham Lincoln The writer
is NJ P. Rindlaub, of Platteville, and in his story
Mr.. Rindlaub visualizes the great Lincoln in a
way that few writer's have done. Mr.. Rindlaub
tells. among other things, the story of the great
debate at Freeport in 1853 between Lincoln and
Douglas. He relates the strife Of the time and
how Lincoln vanquished his able opponent in de
bate by his very humanity. In conclusion he
poignantly tells of the sorrow and despair which
swept over the country when the great president
was laid low by an assassins hand. It is worthy
article and tribute that Grant county may well
feel proud Of coming as it does from the pen of a
pioneer.

THE "B0LD PEASANTRY."
Ill fares the land to fastening ills
prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and men
decay.
Princes and lords may flourish, or may
fade;
A breath can make them, as breath
has made
But bold peasantry, their country's
pride,
When once destroyed, can never be
supplied.
A time there was, ere England's griefs
began,
When every rood of ground maintain'd
its man;
For him light Labour spread her
wholesome store,
Just gave what life required, but gave
no more;
His best companions, Innocence and
Health;
And his best riches, Ignorance Of
wealth.
But times are alter'd; Trades unfeel-
ing train
Usurp the land, and dispose the swain.
