OF change in the judiciary system of

the state were less than a half mil

1t is mistake TO teach children 4 lit
tie Of everything and nothing thorough
ly. About all education can do for a
man or boy IS TO set him to thinking for
himself. The germ of originality in the
individual needs cultivation. needs
stimulant. The head crammed with
other people S ideas has little room for
its own thought. Many a boy is so thor
oughly schoolcd that the common sense
the will power, the self reliant man
hood, is driven out of him. 4 load of
facts with no education in their use is
of little value. The most successful
business men in our cities are those
whose scanty education embraced a
thorough knowledge of simple rules and
studies, but whose necessities have
since demanded vigorous thought, in
cessant industry and the best use of
every resource of mind and body. The
hotbed system OF education enfeebies
rather than strengthens. Only a few
require the classics, astronomy or a
knowledge of the dead languages.

Duck. when you are as old as l am
you will know that it is not wise to
ask folks to lend you their gardens
for the purpose of a dinner party.
Somehow they don't take kindly to it.
But it's such a fine dining room-so

Quack, quack, quack, quack," came
from all the Ducks, and they chat

goodies and ate and ate and ate.
Pretty soon, however, the Farmer
came out, and saw all the Ducks IN his

A brief delay and the ease Of Harry
Thaw might have been settled in his
own way with little lost and much
gained to his follow men. That Harry
Thaw is insane when in liquor was
established b. the courts that spared
his life for the murder of Sanford
White. When KEEP; within the walls of
a prison hospital he is sane, except for
an overwhelming self-csteem which is

ask for him is that he he kept safe in
some asylum from which he cannot
make visits to the drinking ccntcrs of
New York, Pittsburgh and Philadel-

Those countries in the throes of a
struggle that demanded that they put
forth their best efforts, found that
they could not do so without limiting
TO the lowest possible minimum the use
of strong drink. The conclusion was
Immediately formed in this country
that ii Il country at war could not
reach the maximum Of its efficiency
without barring liquor the same thing
is true Of nation at peace. The rapid
increase IN the number Of states and
smaller units of the government in
adopting prohibition also has had 4
part III developing the conviction that
national. prohibition is desirable. 1t is
impossible to keep back a real reform
when once the hard headed American
otter sees where it is needed for the
best interests of his country"
