MAKING PAPER CLOTHING.
"crman People Wearing Many Gar

Amsterdam, oct. 31.--The employ
ment of paper yarn in all directions
In Germany has made enormous pro-
gress during the past year. Cloths
ana FABRICS made entirely of paper
yarn are now widely used. The base
OF these is Il simple one-colored pa
per yarn used i'm exactly the same
way as jute, prisoners camps are now
supplied with mattresses and even
pillows i'm which the covering is made
of this fabric. In fact, paper weav-
ing has made such strides that twills
are now produced, and the time is not
far distant when it will be possible to
obtain excellent grades of worsted
made of paper ,and already the first
patterns of such fabrics are being ex-
hibited.
Ready-made clothing in paper is at
present confined for the most part to
special workmens clothing. Entire
suits Of this are exhibited, as well as
aprons, Overalls, and Office coats. The
price OF paper fabrics varies between
20 cents and one dollar q yard
Ready-made workmen's aprons and
overalls are sold at six dollars q doz-
en-. For entire suits the price is
about IS.
The paper clothing is not, how
ever, entirely confined to workmen's
clothing. A beginning has been made
In supplying garments for women
and children. For children there is
a wide variety Of paper garments
available. For women, the offerings
are thus far confined to undercloth-
ing.

Thought Labor.

Did you ever know that you are wagng a bat
tie in your head? There two forces inside of
your head in hostile line of battle One force is for
you and is against you One side is in favor of
you living lazy life and the other is strenuously
struggling to urge you to usual life. One is
always driving you ahead to do things and the other
is always holding you back. One is inspiring
you with good thoughts and the other is just as &C.
lively putting evil thoughts in your mind One
force for your upt and the other is striving to
drag you down. One force calls to you to do your
own thinking and the other tells you it is easier to
let someone else do your thinking for you. One
stimulates you forward toward and the other
advises you to drift toward failure. Every minute
the contest goes on-his battle of thoughts. Every
decision you make procaims victory for side
or the other. If you do a good days work it
strengthens the army of good thoughts. If do a
slipshod task the army of good thoughts falls back
discouraged. Every good book you read throws in
to your mind reinforcements for the good side and
bad reading weakens the resistance of those who wish
you we'll. These two sets of thoughts are the two
sides of your character. One set is composed of
your friends-the other of your enemies. One would
save you the other would destroy you. One is in
favor of thrift the other advocates waste. One
bids you to be honest; the other cunningly points
out methods by which you can deceive. 1t is the
duty of your days and nights to help the upft
thought win. You only do this by thinking
by every day; every hour, every minute, welcoming
an invasion of upft ideas. You must obtain an
overpowering supply from somewhere of strong and
fine thoughts that evil thoughts may be conquer
ed decisvely in every battle When you have learn
ed where to find your thought-or get the truth on
all your problems, which is the basis of all good
thoughts you will then begin to upft yourself in
the world, And you can find truth and helpfulness
everywhere. You must find them for you must
dominate your own life and you must not be the
slave of your worst self, when the victory of your
better self can only come from that happiness which
is the chief object of your being alive!-New Ideas.

Our Plea

One cannot keep good man down permanently
and ALL at times make mistakes; but are we not here
to correct these mistakes? TO accomplish this, we
must do share to meet the officers at least half
way, for if do not do our share little if any,
thing, can be accomplished This state has spent
thousands, Il dare say mlllions), in retaining to
usefulness and happiness, those who have gone
astray improving our condition and transforming us
into useful citizens Is it not up to us to do our
share?
Let us help each other and strive for the up-lift
of this institution, instead of knocking and bowling
every time we get a report; let try to get the
point of view of the officer in charge and have every
thing great harmonious plan instead of try
ing to get by with some low measly act when he is
not looking and cooperate, with the officials and
keep our department up to the highest mark Let
be men; not mere men, but men like those who
all nations must depend upon in time of crisis Let
us be clean and pure minded and forget all impure
ties and uncean thoughts, also keep bodies clean
and healthy as we'll as our minds.
The man who never made a mistake, never did
anything worth while, but wise man never repeats
his mistakes. Some pay heavier penalty than
others because of the greatness in the Mistakes but
all can profit by past mistakes and it is up to each
individual to prove to all the world that nc one can
keep good man down. Each one, now, has the OPP
portunity to better himself and let's all go forward
with firm decision that going to succeed:
that, regardless of circumstances we will not Weld
to anything except successes-Reformatory Pillar.

not responsible for the conditions Of life by virtue of
which we are here and being here must earn our
bread by labor. These people are affected by the
circumstances and are under the same obligation
ourselves. They cared for us while we were
unable to care for ourselves and in doing this they
satisfied every just demand. Nature has bestowed
upon power to become, and properly leaves the
fuillment to us. The benevolent father bequeaths
his heirs but he bequeaths also the responsibility of
the proper and of wealth, and he leaves to
his the disposition of the money with all
attendant possibilities for good and evil The world
can owe living only for value received. The
world does not gifts presents such things
not debts, but voluntary aims But then the
world does owe guarantee of immunity against
unnatural obstacles to successful existence if
sick from others transgressons the world owes
sanitary precaution and protection. If we in
danger from others greed or lust sin the world
owes chance of escape And if we in
danger from our own weakness and foes, the
world it to itself and to us to protect from
ourselves. The criminal who violates law is entitled
to chance of a better life The young that is
arbitrarily sent to the common prison for score of
years is in certain degree deprived of that life.
If he is placed in unhealthy circumstances and
subjected to improper physical, mental and moral
treatment he may justly cry out that he is entitled
to better chance. The facilities for reclamation of
young criminals should be extended to include every
young The conditions of life that surround
the children of state should be arranged as to
harmonic with the biological doctrine that the
world owes chance to everybody in the world.
This is the divine law of Evolution under which the
life principle in beetle may develop into sentent
soul and it has no sympathy with the moral province
ialism which would limit the score of the work of
salvation to select circle. To every fellow creature
that has fallen in the mire we the chance rise
and regain his strength and agility and personal
purity.-Exchange.

mugwumpery in morals, my boy. And you've had

you. I don't think l ever did feel that way, and
know more about it than you do. Pve been further
down the Jericho road than you. Went down there
to let MY beard grow.
But my son, it isn't socety's fault that you
got into trouble you knew what the Jericho road
before you went down that way. You knew
there was curse on the town. You safe
enough in Jerusalem; why didn't you stay there?
Don't feel bitter toward all the world because
you fell among thieves and got cleaned out. 1t is
kind. good naured, forgiving old world. True, it
doesn't always look that way to fellow i'll trouble,
because then the fellow is apt to look at the wrong
people. You found on the Jericho road, say, six
or eight thieves, that is, half dozen professional
and two amateurs, who passed by the other side,
and only good Samaritan, and, naturally, it
you that the leaven of good is utterly lost
in that great mass of rascality and hypocrisy.
But bless you, my son. in the great, honest,
living world-in the world that is trying to do right
and trying to lead to better things than Jericho
excursions in the only world that really lives and
for just such fellows you-in the real world
of men and women who deal with the young man all
est-the good Samaritan outweighs regiment
of these villains who beat you and rob you and pass
ed you by the road to Jericho.
One closing word, my Unless you are
smarter and stronger than the thieves know Jericho
way and guess may be you are not; very few men
are-why, you keep off that road You stay in
Jerusalem. and you'll have more money and less
