At the beginning of a new
year, instead of making many
extra vagent resolutions, make
one good one and stay with i
and by so doing make a real im
provement on your life. It if
far better to quit oxr of your
mean traits for twelve months
than' to quit tweho of your
meanesses for one month and
then persue them fur the re
maining eleven .months of the
year;
The new year will be what
we make it,' as far as our in
dividual lives are concerned,
and the mail or woman who re
solves to be happy in a health
ful, unselfish way is taking the
first step toward real happiness.
BETTER TAKE THE rAFEP.
An Illinois exchange gives the
following account of what hap
pened to a family too stingy to
take their home paper. Tie
says:.
"We onco knew a man ,who
was to stingy to take the news
paper in his home town and al
ways went over to borrow his
neighbor's paper.
"One evening lie sent his son
over ho borrow the paper, and
while the son was on the way
be ran into a large stand of bees
and in a few minutes his face
looked like a summer squash.
Hearing the agonized cries
of the son, the father ran to his
assistance and in doing so ran
inloa barbed wire fence, cut
ting a handful of flesh from his
anatomy and ruining a $i pair
of trousers.
"The old cow took advantage
of the hole in the feme, got into
the corn-field and killed
herself eating green corn.
Hearing the racket, the stingy
man's wife ran out of the house,
upsetting a four gallon churn
full of cream into a basket of
kittens, drowning the whole
flock. She flipped on the cream
and fell down stairs, breaking
her leg and a $19 set of false
teeth. The baby, left alone,
crawled through the spilled
cream into the parlor and ruined
a HO carpet. During the ex
citement the daughter eloptd
with the hired man, taking the
family savings bank with them.'
SCHOOL AND CRIME.
Not many of our citizens seri
ously consider the relation, of
crime to our schools. Where
the schools are bst sustained
you will find the smallest per
cent of crime. You show me a
school which gives a high aver
age attendance and I will show
you a neighboihood which has
email use for a grand-jury.
Thus you Fee the opportunity
for a real live teacher to do good
h immense. Many teachers do
not realize the responsibility of
their calling. Many parents
will not realize the responsibility
towards their children. So be
tween t he two the school is large
ly a failure. The school is not
intended to take tho place of the
home, yet it ought to do more
than teach the multiplication
table and the rudiment of read
ing and sibling. Tho .state
takes the schools under i t r
charge in order that it may lay
the foundation of good citizen
ship as well as the foundation
of good scholarship. Tho necr
ossify for earnest .cooperation
between the teacher and parent
is at once apparent. Paents.
do not let trivial "things keep
your children away from school
Teacher, set your standard
higher than the study of mere
text books. Give the rising
generation a better idea of a
man than a "biped with a pistol
in one pocket and a bottle of
whiskey in the other." This is
a dangerous combination, likely
to explode at any time and hurl
someone, it may only hurt
ITSELF but some one is hurt.
We insist that more first class
schools is the salvation of out
country. When our people
wake up to the light idea of
education we will not need two
weeks court. Ex.
ANOTHER CHAUTAUQUA
VICTIM
Chautauqua "gets" the best
of them, and now Vice Presi
dent Marshall has followed the
example of the illustrious
William Jennings Bryan,
Champ Clark, Captian Hobson
and others, and has signed a
contract to deliver" from thirty
to forty-five lectures in Missouri,
Iowa and Kansas next summer.
A good deal of sympathy has
been bestowed upon the Vice
President because of the fact
that he is compelled to live on
his salary, and this restricts him
to a palatial suite of rooms aim
board in one of the most aris
tocratic hotels in the United
States, where the charges are
so high that he undoubtedly has
to take up the Chautauqua to
"piece out" expenses.
Let us try to amagine what a
scene the world present if all
men the earth around could
have and enjoy one perfect
Christmas one day in which
the Christmas spirit should
manifest itself in every human
heart in all its happiest, truest,
largest meaning. What a fore
taste of the millennium such a
day would be.
