So many people chew their pills, and oh how bitter. It has been said that to have the children in your power w'ould be to control the destiny of the world, but give us the mothers and let them realize their power, and we will have the children. Parents keep your boys off the streets, especially after dark. You know not what annoyance these little fellows are, besides they learn all kinds of meanness, picking up all the slang phrases uttered by older boys who have forgotten the prayers taught them at their mother’s knee when they, too, were innocent little tots like your own boys now. If you have nice beautiful yards, allow your boys to’play in them, never scolding them for their merry laughter, for ’tis better far to be annoyed at home than to have them mixed up in an ug ly affair on the street of which you know nothing until it has grown cold ou every one’s tongue. If you value their education aB you should, you will keep your boys off the street, where no evil association will corrupt their morals. ents and uncles and au. r^’twill have little left to lean. ^ it grows older. The best brought up family of children we ever knew were edu cated on the principle*)! always commending them when it was possible to do so, and letting si lence be the reproof of any wrong doing which was not really seri ous. We have hoard the children of this household, when their mother had failed to say any word of commendation after some social occasion, ask as anx iously as possible, “What was it, mamma? I know something was wrong. Didn’t we treat the oth er children well, or were we too noisy?’’ In that house reproof was never bestowed unsought- only commendation, of whatever it was possible to commend, was gratuitous. We think this system would be as good for those grown-up chil dren, the husbands and wives, as fot those still in the nursery. “Therb is no good reason why a man should needlessly put his own wife to the trouble of wip> ing up the tracks, when he takes great pains to clean his feet be fore crossing his neighbor’s threshold; neither is it consistent that we women should be too se vere on our own husband and son for a little carelessness, when we assure our callers, with the most gracious of smiles, ‘that it isn’t of the slightest consequence well be “No;” but while there is another human being for whom we can do a favor, or whose in terests we may advance, life is indeed “worth living.” Friend, when you find yourself depressed and inclined to think that life holds nothing for you, look around you (not very far awav), and do the very first fa vor for another tl at comes- to your hand. It may be a very small one, but do it; and keep on, day by day, hour by hour and minute by minute, working for others, for truly this alone makes life worth living. Every honest prayer that is breathed, every cross that is car ried, every trial that is well en dured, every good work for our fellow-men lovingly done, every little task that is conscientiously performed for Christ’s glory, helps to make Christian charac ter beautiful,* and to load its boughs with “apples of gold” for God’s “baskets of silver.” Courtesy at Home. Good breeding, like charity, should begin at home. The day is past when children used to rise when their parents entered the room where they were and stand until they had received permis sion to sit. But the mistake is now made usually, in the other *t*ction i» allowing to small boys and girls too much license to disturb the peace of the house hold. We think the best way to train children in courtesy would be to observe toward them* a scrupulous politeness. We would go so far as to sav that we should make it as much a point to listen to children without interrupting them and to answer them sin cerely and respectfully as if they wfcre grown up. And, indeed, many of their wise, quaint say ings are far better worth listen ing to than the stereotyped com monplaces of the morning callers. Of course, to allow uninterrupt ed chatter would be to surrender the repoke of the household, but it is very easy, if children are themselves scrupulously respect- ed, to teach them in turn scrup ulously to respect the conven ience of others, and to know whop to talk and wh ?n to be si lent. If a child is brought up in the constant exercise of courtesy to ward brothers and sisters and playmates, as well as toward par- If I Only Had Capital. The above words were recently uttered in our hearing by a worthy boy and undoubtedly they are often reiterated by manV who are out of employment, or have little or nothing to do. To all such we say, you have home capital, you have hands, feet, bone, muscle, health and are not these capital? What more capi tal has God given anybody?** But if I ouly had a few thousand in cash capital” sajs the young man. But these are better than cash capital, for no one can take them from you, and with these you can earn cash. Our men of wealth and influ ence did not start with any dash capital. They went to work with their plow, the hoe, the jack plane or axe, and in time their capital brought them a rich harvest. Ab! but ’” there’s the rub; you don’t want to work. You want money on credit so you can play the gentle man, speculate and end your oareer by playing vagabond You want to marry a rich girl who will support you, while you wear fine clothes, smoke cigars, anS be a gentleman of leisure. Shame on you, young man I Go to work with the capital you have and you will soon make in terest enough upon it to give you as much money as you need. If you cannot earn money|upon what capital you have, you could not if ySu had a larger amount cash. If yoq waste your present capital you would waste money if you had it. So doiWt stand around, a helpless fellow, wait ing for something to turn up, but go to work. Take the first work you can get to do and do it well. Always do your best, and if you manage your capital that God has given you well, you will soon have plenty more to manage. Is Life Worth Living? When you hear this question asked by a man or woman, with lips curved downward and voice attuned to discontent, you may set that person down as supreme ly selfish. He or she asks prae- tioall, “Is life worth living for me?” Worth living? Of course it is, so long as there is one single other soul in the world. If the querist were the last of his race then indeed the answer might A Suicide's Hand. In former times it was a com mon notion that if a sick person oould only touch the hand of a suicide he or she would be cured. This superstition was especially common in the west of England. In Cornwall touching a suicide’s hand was said to have once cured a young man who had been afflic ted with many tumors from his birth. A similar superstition re garding the touch of executed criminals has been widely preva lent, and has often been record ed. Robert Hunt in his “Romances of the west of England” says that he onoe saw a young woman led on to the scaffold at Newgate in order to have a wen touched by the hand of a man who had just been executed. At Northampton of old the hangman is said to have had t regular fee for according a simi lar “privilege” to sufferers from like disorders. Even the coffln of a suicide may have curative value. There is a Devonshire belief to the effect that if any one suffering from disease can manage to throw a white hand kerchief on such a coffln at the time of its interment the dis ease will vanish as the handker chief decays. Much superstitious value has also been attached to the knots of the rope used either by a suicide or in the execution of a criminal. • Hard to Please. “George, dear,” said the new ly made wift,t‘if you became a Mormon or a sultan and were al lowed six wives, whom would you choose for the other five?” George was diplomatic. “I’d select,” he replied, “five duplicates of your own pretty self.” “Oh, you nasty thing!” she sobbed. “When we were en gaged you often Baid there wasn’t another girl in the world like me!” "But, my dear Gertrude,” he replied, “it was you who suggest ed the problem, and*, anyhow, I should never become a Mormon or a sultan.” ‘Oh, you wretch!” she shriek ed. “You mean that if you found any others liko me you wouldn’t marry them 1 I’ll pack my trunk now and go home to mother.” It was the first tiff.—Ex.

We do desire to to tell them about one feature of this habit of concealing gold about the house, that they perhaps do not know about, and to warn them of the consequences. There is a probability of your house burning down. A great many people think if the house burns down on their bag of gold that they can sift the ashes,, and git it again, and that the United States gov ernment will make it good to them. There was never a greater mistake good friend If you have gold or silver hid abput your house ana the house burns down you may dig around it the ashes and finally get every piece of ypur mon* ey, but it will be almost absolutely worthless. Il it is not too badly melted and stuck together the United States government will allow you 15 or 20 cents on the dollar. The reason we know this t» be true we have recently seen it tried. A part broyght in $12.50 in dollars, halves and quarter that had been picked from the ashes of a building that had burned. The house was a small two room hobse. The coins were disfigured and some oi theip stuck together. We sent them to Washing ton and got back in return the sum of $4.00 anc some odd cents. In the letter of advice from the government at W^Wngton wc were advised that the same rule applies to gold coin burned in a fire Under these circumstances friends, we say it plainly but kindly, it is foolishness, absolute ishness to keep gold or silver about your homes, or paper money as tothfitJttatfer, when you cai deposit it in the Bank of Dallas and'draw s x A% o^ 1 ; it, and get it any time you may need it. ay it — fool-ana THE BANK OF DALLAS THE BANK THAT MADE PAULDING COUNTY QROW h V It's Ulagbn Wisdom that prompts a farmer to select a Weber Wa^on.
