Gems Of Thought.
From the Home Circle Column
of the Sparta Ishmaelite:
SHALL WE READ NOVELS.
Last week we promised to give
you our opinion of novel reading.
—As this opinion costs nothing
you cannot sevorely complain
should it differ from your own.
Standing as we do, chin-deep in
fictitious literature, the question
is naturally asked by the young
people “Shall we read novels ”
There are novels that are pure,
good, elevating to the heart and
ennobling to tlue life, but while
this is true we have to confess
that in our humble opinion ninety
out of every hundred novels in
this day are baleful and destruc¬
tive in the last degree. A pure
work of fiction is history and
poetry combined. It is a history
of things around us, with the li¬
censes and the assumed names of
peotry. The world can never pay
the debt which it owes to such
fictitious writers as Hawthrone.
McKenzie, Landor, Hunt and
Marion Harland and many others
whose names are familiar to all.
The follies of high life were never
better exposed than by Miss
Edgewood. The memories of the
past were never more faithfully
embalmed than tn the writings of
Walter Scott. Dickens has built
his own monument in his books,
which are an everlasting plea for
the poor.—The reading of this
class of novels cannot help but
bo ennobling and purifying; but
alas for the loathsome and impure
literature that has come upon this
country in the shape of novels,
that like a freshet have overflow¬
ed all the banks of decency and
common sense. They lie on your
centre tables to curse your chil¬
dren, you find them in the desk
of the school miss and in the
trunk of the young man. Do not
read books that give false pic¬
tures of human life. Life is nei¬
ther a tragedy nor a farce. Men
are not all knaves nor all heroes.
Women are neither angels nor
furies. In the novels of the day
you get the idea that life is a fan¬
tastic and extravagant thing.—
How poorly prepared are the
young me® andyoting women for
the duties of today who spent last
night wading through brilliant
passages descriptive of magnifi¬
cent knavery and wickedness.
The man will be looking all day
long for ‘bis heroine and he will
not find her and he will be dissat¬
isfied. A. woman who gives her¬
self up to the discriminate read¬
ing of novels will be unfitted for
the duties of wife, mother, sister
or daughter. Today, under the
nostrils of thi| land there is a fet¬
id, unwashed literature, enough
to poison all the fountains of pub¬
lic virtue and smite your sons
and daughters as with the wing
of a destroying angel and it is
time that the moral element of
every community should arm
themselves and wage a great bat¬
tle against a depraved literature.
Cherish good books and newspa¬
pers but beware of the bad ones.
DUTIES OF HOME.
The word home seems to be in¬
separably connected with certain
specific duties. One cannot dwell
within the circle of home without
being morally responsible for the
discharge of special duties that
their origin to the home rela¬
The first duty of home in
order of development, since
is developed as soon as the
is established, is the duty of
and wife ,o each other.
too often forget that they f
an Y 8 P ec,a * duties i .. an to their
and yet there is no man
has a worthy wife but owes
a debt he can never pay. She
given him what fortune can¬
purchase, a human heart.
She has paid him the highest
compliment that one human being
can pay to another. She has told
him by actions that cannot lie
that he is more to her than all the
associations of her life; more than
the sweet playmate of her girl¬
hood; more than her sister’s
caress and brother’s pride; more
than the love and tenderness of
parents; more than her dear old
home. She leaves all these for
him, although her heart strings
cannot be unwound from any of
them, but be broken and torn
away. Does human life present
a mdre touching spectacle than
that of a young bride suppress¬
ing her tears and forein’g a smile
while she kisses her mother and
father and brother and sister fare¬
well? How hard hearted, how
unworthy of her, how even beast¬
ly must be tho man, if we may
give him that title, who does not
under these circumstances feel
his knees bend a little with the
instinctive impulse of adoration.
The husband can discharge the
duties which he owes to his wife
only by keeping perpetually in
his mind that he owes her a debt
to pay which, it will be necessary
to take advantage of every pass
ing opportunity.
Fight Will Be Bitter,
Those who will persist in clos¬
ing their ears against the contin¬
ual reoommendation of Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption,
will have a long and bitter fight
with their troubles, if not ended
earlier by fatal termination. Read
what T. R. Beall, of Beall, Miss,,
has to say: “Last fall my wife
had every symptom of consump
tin. She took Dr. King’s New
Discovery after everything else
had failed. Improvement oame
at once and fo ir bottles entirely
cure! her.” Guaranteed by Lew¬

A special from Atlanta says
that Prsident Roosevelt will he
invited there and that all kinds
of apologies will be made to him
for the hard things said about
him during the campaign. It
seems to us that any apology for
anything would be entirely ouo
of place to a man who, having a
Georgia mother, could say that
Jefferson Davis was as much of
a traitor as Benedict Arnold. If
there are any apologies to be -
made let Mr. Roosevelt make
them.—Adel News,

THE FAMOUS LITTLE PILLS.
For quick relief from Biliousness,
Sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Jaun¬

DeWiit’s Little Early Risers are un¬
equalled.
They act promptly and never gripe.
They are so dainty that it is a pleasure
to take them. One to two act as a
mild laxative; two or four act as a
pleasant and effective cathartic. They
are purely vegetable and absolutely
harmless. They tonic the liver.
