Thoughts.
BY (1. GUtlSVENOR DAWJ
For Young Mon Again.—It is a
real pleasure to seo tho wild glee of
a young dog; twisting himself side
ways with the vigor of his delighted
tail and so hurried from time to ex
press himself that he cannot even
bark straight He actually cheers
up weary folks who look at him for
his joy is harmless and the onlooker
well knows that ihc '•xer'-Ue i,
strengthening him for the days of
dull-dog-dom that aro hound to
stretch ahead before him some day.
That is about the attitude of sen
sible people towards you young fel
lows, as you swing out exercise that
critically viewed, looks almost ridi
culous. hook at yourself in your
running trunks and if you do not
suddenly feel that you aro a scare
crow, I am mistaken, But it is al
right. l)o your running and your
boxing and your wrestling and your
rough-and-tumble games, for it is
butter to use your surplus strength
that way, than to waste it in weaken
ing vices. You are troubled, if you
are in health, with too much vitality
to bo anything beside reslcss and it
does good to the hearts of those who
love you and envy your youth and
its hey-day path, to see you choose
the better part, which, for a young
man, is certainly not inactivity. Na
ture lias you in hand and though you
are unconscious of it, she is busy im
polling you to do the things that
tend to a reserve of power. Tho
gallopping times are going to end
ono day, and then many a dull and
weary mile in harness for wltoso
heavy pulling the years of whole
some fun and exercise have prepared
you.
to ex-
ition as
outrage upon human natnr
plain every worthy human
having a selfish origin.
Something in the heart of a man
rests upon the do-pest principles of
the world of in 1; and keeps ,him
iteadily plodding at a task. How
grand that there should be such an
impulse within us! For it would
make life seem quite tun petty t live
if we wore forever measuring Out onr
deeds mi that they exactly balanced
another man’s doles. Some poet ex
presses the thought like this, though
1 cannot now confirm the quotation:
"High heaven disregards the
Of nicely balanced lessor more.”
Dogs and men, from an utilraoo-
ablo source, get satisfaction in doing
a thing because it is right, even
though no approving voice sound out
to praise the rigiit when it is done.
Big-souled men, mark you, are not
looking for approval herd, there and
yon. They know wluit they ought
to do, and do it. That ends i: with
them.
And some dogs cheerfully die for
tho sake of duty. Only by stepping
over their faithful bodies can tho
outrage be perpetrated. It seems to
force home tho conviction that for
such dear companions of men there
must Lb a place where oven dogs get
their dues. But a truce to that the
orising—1 write to the living this
problem. Wo say in onr hunger and
in our anxiety and oftentimes in pal
liation of a departure from the path
that is straight: “Well, a man must
live.” If so what about the dog? I
tell you, that when it comes to a
choice between the right and the
wrong, a man would better die and.
wait for dues hereafter than live to
ho outclassed by his beast.
Are
Master deggy has a hard time
learning all ho ought to know, add
some of his knowledge comes along
painful ways But if he takes tho
fat and the lean of life in due pro
portion and without too much howl
ing at the discords you will see him
grow into a sedate, well-trained
beast who knows well what he is hore
for, and whose honest head will re
ceive many and admiring pat from
gentle women who trust his guar
dianship. And those pats do not in
any way’ upset the balance of tho
good faithful fellow; for at the hour
of duty he goes quietly to his post
again.
This will not bo very much unlike
you, if you gain a love for duty—
doing as you emerge from irrespon
sible puppy-doni into clean manhood.
It is the emerging time that is hard,
for you have to learn new’ standards
of conduct and some pretty sharp
knocks are needed at times to make
you follow to heel of duty. But let
me toll you that the clearer tho vis
ion you have of duty and the cleaner
tiie way yon tread the more you will
ho admired of women of tho nobler
sort. It is worth much to you to be
with good women, and their praise
need not upset you; for it will not he
of the gushing, gurgling, bumble-bee
buzzing, sentimental kind that turns
a man away from purpose—hut it
will bo an evidence of supreme trust
in a man’s character that will make
you go out into the world afterwards
feeling more than over a man, be-
' cause tho sanctity of implicit conli
dence rests upon you as a tiling wortli
lyhilo being worthy of.

THE PREACHERS-
Rev. C. E. Crawley preached
When you come to think of . it,
there is a strangeness in . the faith
fulness of a watch-dog. It is a weird
idea, that though the master may be
absent, the dog in charge of affairs
instead of becomoing less vigilant
grows more so. It is pot to be ex
plained on the supposition that he is
alert because lie is paid for it by
scraps that fall from his master’s ta
ble. It is deeper than stomacli love
—though we do mockingly say that
the way to a dog’s heart is through
his stomach. It endures even when
the master is neglectful and cruel.
It glows warm even when the chills
of frost cover the faithful creature
and he lies out there under the night,
instantly ready either to greet his
master with a cheery wag, or to drive
tho trespasser off to the public road
where no man trespasses, and wliose
rights even fierce dogs seem to un
derstand.
Equally strange and equally esti
mable is the influence that makes a
man faithful to his trust, though no
man’s eye he upon him. It is an

It is a fact perhaps tint generally
known that The Weekly Constitu
lion has the larges circulation of
any newspaper on the western hem
isphere. Only a few months ago a
large newspaper directory question
ed the claim of circulation made
1>V The Constitution and put up a
forfeit of $100 that it could ho
disproved that it - had more than
100.000 circulation. Tho Consti
tution promptly accepted the offer
and submitted its books to the
representative of the firm. Mr.
George P. Rowell, publisher of the
newspaper directory, acknowledg
ed his error publicly and paid tho
forfeit.
Tho Constitution, while being a
democratic newspaper, iB first and
nbovo all things a newspaper. It
is a twelve-page, seven-column

The Weekly Constitution during

The Weekly-Constitution makes
special feature of its agricultural

Colonel R. J. Redding, director of
the Georgia experiment farm, and
a man who is recognized as an ex

gives a full page every week on
agricultural matters. A pugo is
devoted to the women and a page
to children, these two departments
being presided over by Mrs. Wil

Among the regular staff members
of The Constitution are Joel Chan
