One Hundred Thousand Boyi.
It takes 100.000 from among
our boys every year to keep the
liquor business booming and fill
up the bum-depleted ranks As
Jong as this vile business is pro¬
tected by the votes of fathers,
husbands and brothers for high
license, this vast army is hound
to be recruited. Look at your
bright-eyed boy, th« hope and
pride of your life, and your sweet
daughter—shall he become a
drunken sot, and she an unwil¬
ling victim ot this curse l»y your
own vote and influence? Ah I
you feel secure; you think this
vice is for the children of others.
“Take heed lest ye fall.” In the
hope of the future of this grand
nation, in the eternal future of
golds, and in the name ot God,
rise up and vote it down. Carrie
Nation, with her hatchet, may be
considered by many a .fanatical
crank, but she has the courage of
her convictions, which the most
of us lack.—Selected.
Losing Temper.
The most foolish thing in the
world is to lose one’s temper. Of
old th » wisest of men said : ‘Bet
ter is he that luDth his spirit
than he that taketh a city.’ The
person in authority who is self
controlled can control others—
children, servants, and employees
generally, No one can govern
subordinates who is not able to
govern himself. When one loses
temper in the home, and says bit¬
ter things in a hasty mood, t-lieie
is sine to come in an after time
of sorrow and repentance, and
there is a hurt iu the heart which
mav or may not last for years.
There are scars that never cease
to throb, though the old wound
seems to be healed. Should death
suddenly snatch hence a dear one.
before pardon for some injustice
had been sought ai.d granted, the
regret would never pass away.

A young man recently wrote to
the editor of the Ladies’ Home
Journal asking: “What have
you to say, squarely and fairly to
a young man of twenty-nine who
is about to marry 1 In the Oc
tober Journal Mr. Bok uses a
page for his answer. Its salient
points are these: That a man
should make the woman of his
choice his chum, as well as his
wife; tliat he should show her the'
highest consideration as well as
love her: that he should remem¬
ber that he owes his wife to her
mother, and treat his mother-in
law with respect at least; that he
should keep his wife informed as
to his income: that he should
give her a regular allowance and
that he should have his life in¬
sured in her favor. And above
all, that when a young man mar¬
ries lie must remember that he
leaves a world of self and enters a
world of another and self.
“Why in the world is it,” re¬
marked an observer of things and
events, “that a woman in choos¬
ing a shoe, will pick out the
smallest one she can wear, but
when it comes to a hat, she gets |
the very largest one she can
find.” i
