A Business Mans Prayer.

bsliver us from the passive, mac.
tive Individual who whistles for want
of fheught-the languor-loving lem.
on. Give us the man who works
who acts, who executes; who is al
ways in harness, ever on duty.
Relieae us of the Incompetent im-
becile with bungling brains, who
fumhes, botches; who always gets
the wrong pig by the ear-the slov-
'eniy eawk.
Loan US the skillful son of craft
the tradesr1an with the trick, with
the knack; the man who can feather
the oar-who is practical, proficient
Separate Us from the antagonistic
animal, more mule than man, who
kicks and clashes s-the contrary cuss
the cross between trouble and
treachery.
Spare us the cooperative man with
the long, strong pull, the pull-al1-to-
gether spirit: the fellow who stands
shoulder to shoulder and battles for
business.
Divorce US from the hard-luck
harper, the despondent dub that
blfghts and blasts everything; the
calamity croaker, the man that is
planet-struck, the evil-star sucker
that sings: What's the use of any,
thing? Nothing at ALL"
Send us the sunshiny man. the
hightide fellow, the buoyant, thriving
man and joy-these three. 1t is
light in the windows of the face, by
which the heart signifies it is at home
and waiting. A face that cannot
smile is like bud that cannot bios
som, and dries upon the stalk.
Laughter is day, and sobriety is
night, and a smile is the twilight that
hovers gently between both-more
bewitching than either.-Henry
Ward Beecher.

To Hit at John Bulls Grog.

1t is announced semi-officially
the Archbishop of Canterbury, who,
that Lloyd-George will prohibit the
sale of spifituous liquors and restrict
the consumption of beer. The dis
tillation of whiskey and gin will be
prohibited and the whole resources
OF the spirit trade put under state
control.
This is dreadful. It will shock
some of the produest members Of the
House of Lords as nothing has in
all their lives and it will seem to
many persons in the lower strata Of
society to be the hardest blow ever
struck at British liberty. A fair
number of the peers of today vaulted
into the peerage from distilleries or
the breweries. 1t would shock, too,
when the king foreswore liquor for
the period of the war, declared he
would not dc so as he had been ac-
custosed to his "pick me up all
his life and did not see why he
should give it up at his time of life.
1t will shock publications such
as Punch, much of whose advertis-
ing is of gin, Scotch and other kid
ney and stomach destroying liquors.
1t will increase British efficiency,
no doubt, but it is rather late in the
day to make the move. Two years
ago there would have been excellent
