Strong- Drink
lit is a warrior whom no vic
tory can satisfy, no ruin satiate.
It pauses at no Rubicon to con
sider, pitches no tents at night,
goes into no quarters for winter.
It conquers among the burning
plains of the South where the
phalanx of Alexander halted in
mutiny. Jrt conquers amid the
snow drifts of the north where
flip Grand Army of Xapo.eon
found its v hiding sheet. 7fs
monuments are in every burial
ground. Its badges of triumph
are the weeds which the mouners
wear. Ijts song of victory is the
wail thaf was heard in Ramah—
“Rachel crying for her children
and weeping because they
are not.I’’ 1 ’’
Tile sword is mighty, and its
H'oody traces reach across time,
form Marathon to Gettysburg,
Yet the mightier is its brother,
th.e wine cup. I say “brother”
and history says “brother.” Cas
tor and Pollux never fought to
gether in more fraternal harmo
ny. David and Jonathan never
joined in more generous rivalry
Hand in hand, they have come
down the centuries, and upon
every scene of carnage, like vu -
ture and shadow, they have met
and feasted.
Yea; a pair of giants, but the
greater is the wine cup. The
sword has a scabbage, and is
sheathed; has a conscience and
become glutted with liavocv; has
pity, and gives quarter to the
vanquished. The wine cup has
no scabbage and no conscience;
its appetite is a cancer which
grows as you feed it; to pity, it
is deaf; to suffering, it is blind.
The sword is the lieutenant of
Death, but the wine cup is his
captain; and if ever they come
home to him from the wars bring
ihg their trophies, boasting of
their achievements, Ij can imag
ine that Death, their master, will
meet them with garlands, songs
as the maidens of Judea met Saul
and David. But as he numbers
the victories of each, his pean
will be, “Tlie sword is my Saul
who lias sain his thousands; but
the wine cup is my David, who
has slain his tens of thousands.”
—Thomas E. Watson.
Let it again he suggested to
a l hands—*o Republicans, to
Democrats and to Progressives—
that what business wants is the
date the new tariff is to go
into effect. Make it effective,
say January 1, 1914, and then gc
on, debate and confer and vote
all you like. Business wi 1 then
take care of itself.—Augusta
Chronicle.

The Newspaper Job.
Many people he ieve that a
newspaper falls together with
out work or concerted action or
plan. Rev. McLeod, a Presbyter
ian minister at Pasadena, was of
the opinion and asked to he al'ow
ed to edit an edition of the Pas
adena Star. The editor gladly
accepted the opportunity to go
fishing, aud the minister took
up liis duties in the newspaper of
fice. This is how- he ffelt when
lie fonnd himself at the end of
the task which it must be said
had been done quite creditably.
“My time is almost up as I
pen this last line; my hand is al
most para yzed; my brain is be
fuddled and Ii am free to con
fess that Ii am right glad to va
cate the holy spot. Such rush
and riot and disarray. Such a
jumble of potpourri; it strikes
me as the effort to bring order
out of chaos, and to do it light
ning quick.
“I am reminded of the memo
rable words. “The earth was with
out form and void, and darkness
was upon the face of the wa
ters.” Never shall I criticise news
paper men more. I shall pray
for them. They will have my
heart’s forbearance henceforth
and forever. They are the hard
est worked, shortest lived, poor
est paid brain workers on this
weary old world of ours.”
Our Sentiments, Too.
The Star doesn’t take any share
in the crusade against the prevail
ing fashions in women’s dress, and
doesn t Irelieve it increases immor
ality. Men have, until a few years
ago, insisted on women swathing
themselves to their ears in hot
weather, or rather in clothes in hot
weather, riding horseback on a side
saddle and other unreasonable
things, and now the ladies are try-
ing to be more comfortable, and
naturally some of us he-prudes
raise our hands in holy horror be
cause they wont remain uncomfort
able and artificial. A man who
can’t respect a respectable woman
when she is wearing a low-necked
and short-sleeved dress, can’t re
spect her anyhow, and needs watch
ing. As far as we are personally
concerned, if the ladies will only
let us eat in our shirt-sleeves in
summertime they might wear what
they darn please —or leave it off, if
that would suit them better. —Ocala
Star.
fif it is a miserable, broken
hearted old age you wish to in
herit, just give your children
free rein, allow' them, to loaf
around on the streets at night
and on Sunday when they should
be at Sunday school or the preach
ing service; fail to teach them
respect and reverence for the Sal/
bath, and they w r ill bring to you
speedily just what you are look
ing for.—Ex.
The telephone girl was on her va
