HE COULDN'T LET GO.

When | was a boy a saw man take
hold of a wire and then fail down on
the ground. He could not let go.
1t was live wire, full of electricity.
He knew it, because we had told him,
but he thought he could be careful
and use his coat to keep it from touch
ing his hands. But in a moment the
current caught him and held him in
its grip. He was very fortunate to
escape alive
Since then I have seen others who
were caught and could not let CO. A
man came to me one day and asked
me to help him stop drinking. He
began as a boy drinking hard cider.
Now he could not let go. / have seen
men fly into a passion of rage over
little things. Years ago they had not
tried to control their tempers. Now
their tempers controlled them. They
could not let go. Boys learn to smoke
cigarettes. 1t seems manly. After a
while those boys find they can't stop
smoking. 1t hurts them but they
must go on. Instead of being men
they are slaves. They can't let go.
A bad habit is very hard to get rid
of We make it. 1t would never exist
if we had not permitted it. But when
it is made it masters US. We can't
let go.
Write the word habit Now strike
off the first letter and you will have
bit left. Strike off the next letter
and still it is there. Strike off the
next and yet it is not teetotally gone.
All of which goes to show that habit
is hard thing to get rid of.
If habits are so strong, we want
them our friends and not our enc
mics. And if some one who is older
and who knows says to you: ''Be care
full; if you touch that you won't be
able to let co. you listen and do
what he says.-Selected.

DON'T "SCRAP" THE CHILDREN p

1t is composed of criminals, invalids,
paupers, degenerates, loafers.
We are beyond the age when this
scrap-heap of failures can be charged
to the individuals which make it up.
It is not scrap-heap of failures
but of failure-the failure of the state
to protect children-the pitiful waste
in the manufacture of citizens from
babes.
Child Welfare is not a fad or a
philanthropy 1t is the highest form
of business and yields the richest re-
turns to the state.-George Fitch

T. r. AND w. w.

"In hearing my orations," says
Cicero, "the people admire my intel
ect and my art, and interrupt me with
applause" and Demosthenes replies:
-'True, indeed! You employ the au-
dience for yourself; I occupy it only
with the things Of which I speak.
Your hearers admire you. My hear
ers forget me, attentive to my pur-
absorbed in what I say to praise me.
You are ornate, but there is little
ornament in my speeches. They are
composed of precise, strong, clear
reasons which are irresistible. You
make the audience cry out-'Ah! how
eloquently he speaks!' I make my
audience exclaim Come on and let
us march against Phillip"

ZIGZAG TO HEALTH.

IL there is person anywhere who
is more exasperating to ccnscien-
tious physician than the one who de-
liberately neglects and carelessly I'M
dermines his health it is the person
who cOddles himself too much. We
receive letters from many people who
belong to the latter class.
Such a one asked me recently if
he should sleep with one pillow or
with two-if he should turn from one
side to the other every half hour so
as not to put too much pressure on
his vital organs. This is an instance
in which carelessness has gone to
seed. In such a case, one is disposed
to prescribe the attention of a. ''real
rough prize fighter" instead of a
physician or nurse.
Then there are the two extreme
types of parents. One mother lets her
cnlldren run wild; go to movies
when they like, during epidemics of
contagious diseases and when they
should be in bed; buy any kind Of
candy any time they get the price and
do anything else they wish to do.
The other type of mother is as fus-
sy as a hen with a flock of ducklings.
She guards her children until they
are as bloodless as a jelly fish, She
is so afraid of accidents that she will
not let the children cross the street
alone; SO afraid of disease that she
would keep them done up in anti
septics all the time. There is little
to choose between the two types
They are both wrong.
What an aggregation of pendulum
swingers we human beings are! I do

WILSON SKATERS IDOLS.

President Wilson'S extending the
olive branch to wine and beer was not
well advised. Doubtless he had his
reasons, and they may appear to be
more urgent than they are now sus-
pected OF being; but the average
sober, homecoming, Woodworking
man in business or at trade will
look upon the presidents recon-
mendation as mistake. In the east
it may be regarded as feasible to al
low light wines and beers and to pro-
hibit whisky and the strong LIQUORS:
in the west, where we have always
had more or less prohibition, it is
accepted as a fact that they cannot
practically be separated, The legal
selling of any intoxicant opens the
db0r for all intoxicants. The only
way to keep the liquor interest out
of politics is to do away with liquor.
Dilntion has never been found a So
luton of the liquor question. The
presidents recommendation is to be
regretted, although y will do little
harm to prohibitions; if congress
shall accept it, it VIII affect the mat
or only until the amendment takes
Jan. /, but the great probabil-
nat congress, coming from
have spoken in no uncer-
decline to raise the

YES. the thin blue line of heroes
becomes thinner each year ana at ~
time is this brought more 1orclply
to our attention than upon DecoId-
tion Dav. Those men once so DraNe
and vigorous are now almost WlI1ou
excention feeble of body altho then
hearts are as warm and true as upon
those DAYS fifty-odd years ago Wheh
thew went forth to battle.
We we'll remember the Decoration
Davs of our youth. Then men IN theiI
nrine marched miles to cemeteries "
nav the tribute of respect TO the Sol
der dead. Little boys walked WIN
their fathers in the line OF March
nroud to be the sons OF veterans We
remember we'll two little boys VINO
marched and how their father rug
ged CHEEKY man, gave them edch a
finger to hold as they trudgeu alons,
Above the fireplace of those boys
homo was a flag and below the nag
were pictures of Lincoln ana Uraht.
Relow that were a saber and cav.
o1rv carbine. 1t threw big ball too!
in it's time.
These bows used to hear lots OF war
stories-taIes of battles, adventure
and thrilling escape from prison OF
death. Then they heard sad stories
also-the story of one uncle who was
killed at Shiloh-a mere boy, 100.
Their mother used to cry over TINS
as she told the story. She never Tor
cot the lad. And another uncle was
blinded and another wounded so that
he limped to his grave. There We're
six who enlisted and one who dldn I.
His name was hardly ever mentioned.
So we often think of the great
army of fifty-odd years ago. How they
marched forth to battle and how they
suffered and how they died. we
think of those boys who might nave
peopled the Great West had they lived
we think how grateful those who
came to take their heritage should
be.
We see them marching down
through the years their ranks being
silently depleted until they are al
most gone. We see them marching,
marching. with that old flag always
held so high and fluttering so brave
ly. It seems to us that our flag car
ries a wonderful symbolism with it.
So sanctified with heroes blood as it
is.
They are marching, marching to
join their brothers on the other shore
Of that great host but few are left
with US. Soon, too soon, they also
will be gone.
Let us >reverently doff our hats as
these, our old soldiers, The Grand
Army of the Republic, pass by!

PRICE OF VISION.
BY DR.. Frank Crane.


Yes, said the old man, / see, I'M
derstand, but at what price! Through
the storm clouds of youth / can
glimpse the calm sunset. Through his
angers and strident passions 1 can
detect the cool note of the peace that
is to come when the ebullience has
died down. Through wars l can see
the onward step of civilization, that
inestimable progress for which so
bitter toll was demanded.
Through the night of petulance, re-

We think sometimes when we hear
people abusing their fellows of the
words of that Christian martyr, John
Bunyan, who when he saw the con-
demned man being led to the gallows,
said, There but for the grace Of God,
go l."
Each generation produces its great
men. Men who have the power to
look within their own hearts and there
see the hopes, sorrows, depravity and
nobility of humanity. Then if they
are further gifted they write down
what they see and the world wonders
how this man can read its heart so
well. 1t does not know that he simp-
ly is telling what he sees within him
sell.
One great mantle Belgian Mae
terlinck-in remarkable bit of log
ic says that each soul carries with it
all the characteristics of it's ancestors.
In everything we do some personality
back of us is directing the thought.
Sometimes, nearly always there is a
clash of thought showing that the per-
sonalities from which we are nodded
are warning for control. In each
heart, Maeterlinck says, there exists
truth and falseneSS, courage and cow
ardice, nobility and depravity, gener-
osity and selfishness, altruism and
pessimism, and all the other charac-
teristics of our ancestors. He says
that as we give way to one or the 9TH
err so does that characteristic gain
control of us. The struggle goes on
in each heart until the curtain drops
and the scroll is written forever.
There is a thought here for every
one. Our own lives depend upon how
we give way to the moods that beset
us all. Back of these moods lies
conscience saying which is right and
which is wrong. The man becomes
what his moods direct and his de-
scendants bear his impress for good
or evil.
