The place to take a true mans
measure is not in the market
place or in the amen corner, nor
in the forum of the field, but by
his own fireside. There he lays
aside his mask and you may learn
whether he is imp or angel, king
or cur, hero or humbug. We
care not what the world says of
him-whether they crown him or
pelt him with bad eggs; we care
not a copper what his reputation
or religion may be; if his babies
dread his home coming; if his bet
ter half swallows her heart every
time she asks him for a five dollar
bill, he's fraud of the first water,
even though he prays night and
morn till he is black in the face
and bowls hallelujah until he
shakes the eternal hills. But If
his children rush to the front gate
to greet him, and loves sunshine
Eliminates the face of his wife
you can take it for granted that
he is true gold, for his home is
heaven and the humbug never
gets that near the great white
throne of God.
The boys on the farm arr far
better off if they only knew it,
than thousands of the boys who
are at large, wandering hither
and thither, searching and looking
for rich bonanzas" to turn up.
There is nothing like being practi-
cal and there is but one way to
be so. Acquire business habits
and train yourself to do good,
honest bard work. Don't waste
your time learning to tie a cravat.
You can buy cravats already tied.

He makes this decision against the

Il will say that this opinion Of the

there is no law on the statute books
which allows banks to deduct liberty

Do not allow any deductions and
if those banks. are So unpatriotic,

They >have no more right in my
