clean corn cob II so happened that a
neghbor, in passing along the road,
picked up the old newspaper that had
been used as a stopper for the jug and
unrolled il. And 10, it was the old home
paper, the one that told the story of
Dawes crime, of how he had shot up the
meeting house, and wounded Uncle Bill
lie Thomson, and had been arrested and
placed under bond.
OF course the news spread like wild
fire. The next Sunday Dave was turned
out of the church and another man led
the singing at Sunday school Chagrined
because they had been worked by an inn
poster because they had been nursing
viper in their bosoms, as it were, the
neighbors notified the officers in Ten
nessee, and few days later the sheriff
appeared on the scene and escorted Dave
Simpkins back 90 Tennessee, TO face the
charges against him and undergo pun

ily followed, but they had to sell the
Ford TO get money for travelling eX-
penses. Dave Simpkins finally appeased
the wrath of an offended law by spend
ing a few months in jail and paying
small fine, but the experience broke his
spirit and he has made no great effort
to come back" He never goes to
preaching now. but sits around home on
Sundays with his work shoes on, but no
socks. And the family never has been,
and | doubt whether they ever will be,
able TO buy another Ford.
And so | say, when you reform destroy

If you break with John Barleycorn,

We're feasting on October now, and
it's the greatest feast of all the year. An
gels have polished the vaulted skies and
great indeed is the amethystean glow.
BY day we have sunlit splendors and by
night we have astral glories that de-
light our eyes and gladden. our souls.
Wonderful indeed are these pure October
airs wonderful indeed the pictures in
forest and field when autumn touches
her tints into the leaves and spreads
her glories on the hillsides and in the
valleys. But these cooler October days
mean different things to different peo-
pie. To the head of the household they
mean heavy fuel bills, to be followed
soon by frozen pipes and the awful
nightmare of plumbers charges. To the
society girl they mean a new fall hat,
longer skirt and visit to the oyster par
lor. But to the average man the falling
means that he will be able
to keep on good terms with his wife
and take only one bath week.

else 10 think about | thought of what
a wonderful world this mundane sphere
would be, and how quickly all the
worlds problems would be solved, II
every person would show the same cour-
age and the same determination to win
the battles Of life that characterize the
efforts Of the American boy when he
sets his head 10 ride a bull yearling.
People who are always finding fault
with the works of their Creator seldom
pause to think on how much worse
things could have been. Think, for in
stance, how much we would have lost
in scenery. and what an addition there
would have been TO confusion and dread,
if woman had been created with two
tongues and only one leg.
People say many harsh things about
egotism; many abuse il as though it
were the most gnoble Of all the human
attributes, without a redeeming virtue,
and some pronounce the word with such
frowns and sneers and gritting of the
teeth that we are led to believe they
would gladly eXpunge il from the die
tionary. But egotism is not bad
thing; in truth IL is a good thing, and
the man who lacks il is as poorly equip
ped for the work and battles Of life as
the person who lacks temper, pep or
courage Egotism is believing in ones
self, and the man who doesn't believe
in himself and his ability to achieve
does very little for himself or the world
az large But egotism is a child that
must be kept in the closet and not per-
mitted to mix with company. It's an at
tribute that mustnot go on dress parade.
In way egotism and night shirt are
the same in their relation to man. Every
man should have both, but man makes
of himself a sorry spectacle and a horrid
picture when he displays himself in
either.

of life will be more life-caps. To give
the world men and women is to give it
no mere stamp collection or no mere
theory of mathematics. Why. children
are the world. and the woman with chill
dren is part owner of the universe!
This is no mere fallacy of sentiment

lumpy new baby in her arms, and who
feels that there is no altar more wonder
full than that altar in a darkened, pain
filled room where a child gives his first
little cry and where a mother is born.
This is the fundamental truth. and the
greatest nation of the future will be the
nation that realizes il first. the nation
that guards its children as it does its
public buildings, the nation of men and
women who feel that baby is more val
liable than Percheron or an Airedale.

RUINED HIM.

IL carried into the camp Of righteous
ness. Saul, the son Of Kish, you Will
remember, made the fatal mistake
of saving some Of the best sheep and
oxen and driving them % his own
slaughter pen when he destroyed the
Amalekites. Paul put up very fine
excuse for his disobedience, an excuse
which any Texas politician could take
70 the stump and make a killing with
before the voters. He saved the latest
sheep and oxen, he said, 10 offer a great
sacrifice to the Lord The Lord, how
ever, wasn't fooled. He read the
thoughts OF Mr. Saul's heart as easily
as il they had been before him in big
print. Il wasn't a sacrifice unto the
Lord that Saul saw in those fat steers
and sheep. The crafty king Of Israel
saw pOrterhousc steaks. pot roasts,
prime ribs Of beef and juicy mutton
chops. And so Paul lost his kingdom
and his life by carrying the substance
Of Amalek into the camp Of the Lords
chosen people.

ker table he must burn the whole deck,
il ne would make a successful hide from

self gazing upon the highly colored
cards, and in evil moments, imagining
if he could get in one more game he could
draw a royal flush, or a straight flush,
and fill his pockets with long green at
n single sitting. When a man plays with
whiskey il won't do to save a little Of
the rectified spirits for attacks Of the
flu or to make camphor. The little
that's in the bottle will keep the mouth
watering and the habit in full flower.
