It is the weaking j who is referred to as a harmless sort of j a fellow. As a fellow who has always ; done the best that he could, but never succeeded in accomplishing much, and in the general summing up it is found that there is nothing either bad or good about him. Men of force assert themselves. It is I only natural that they And other honest j men differ from them in opinion and ' ! make enemies as well as friends. No | honest man who tries to do right ever made an enemy without at the srime ! time making a friend, and it is usually : the case that he makes several friends while he is making an enemy. The weakling who tries to please j j everybody pleases no person and finds j ! that he gains nothing for his efforts. ! i The people whom he tries to please he j ; serves only half, aed he neither offends 1 ! nor pleases any person, but disgusts ' | everybody. Any principle that is right is worth ! fighting for, and any thing that is wroug ; should never cease to be condemned. The man who is afraid to stand up for j the right may make enemies, but he amounts to a cipher with the rim knock | ed off and makes no friends, Dressing the School (iirl It is sheer cruelty to send a girl to ; school badly dressed, and tho idea that 1 until she "comes out" anything is good | enough for a school girl exposes her to more unpleasantness at school than uar ents are aware. Many girls are relent l less critics, and even though they may i do their best to conceal their feelings i and ideas on the point a sensitive child I will very soon discover in countless ways what is the effect of her general i appearance upon her schoolfellows. J Another point is that a certain stage of I their growth some girls' hands look I abnormally large, and it is quite a com I mon mistake on the part of mothers to I accentuate this feeling—which, by the j way, is very often temporary—by j giving them clumsy and ill made gloves, j One has only to take a peep back into i one's own past to see how hard such j treatment is and how much a higher I strung nature goes on account of these j seeming trifles. On the other hand, j there are quite a number of mothers | who overdress their girls to a ridicu | lous extent and allow them a measure | of freedom of opinion and action ! can naturally only be abused by a parti j ally developed brain and mind. The Home. A good home is deathless in its influ ; euce. Parents may be gone or not. ! The old homestead may be sold and passed out of the possession of the family I circle. The house itself may be torn down, and it may even be, that all of j the childish land marks have been ; erased. But still there is something that I remains around that sacred birth place j of yours, that cannot be explained in words, but it is something that is in us ! all, for we all have the same desire to wonder back to our first home. Thair I are none of us that can look back to this ! spot 011 earth without it giving us some j degree of gladness or sorrow. Home l is more than a roof to a son. I'nless : the undying affection of a fond mother } : has been it has not baan a homo j ' such as we snsak of, for it h is bean her J that ha 3 marked out the land mark that | can never be erased from our memory. 1 But how many of us look back respect fully to the days of our child hood an;l { wish that we had our child life to live ! over again. It seems to us the pappiest I portion of human life. Those were tlu j days that wo were all fros from care, j and so easily satisfied with its little 1 sport and passtimo. You often hear it i remarked, if I just had those days to live again I would get a good education ! and I would use my parents better, and i a thousand other things, and it all ; comes from this home influence. If the hoys and girls of to-day could 01113' ' lO ! impressed with the fact that their school i days only come once, how much more carefully they would handle them, lie member that you can only wonder back to the days of childhood and of the old home to love and not to act. Dayton Correspondent. The Local Newspaper. The late United States Senator David Davis once made an address in j which he told a great deal of truth in regard to the work of the local paper, | saying: Every year every local paper gives from /500 to 5,000 free lines for j the benefit of the community in which j it is located. No other agency can or will do this. The editor, in proper- \ tion to his means, does mure for his town than any other man, and in all fltirucsH, man with man, he ought to ; l>e support'd— not beeause you liuppru to like him or admire his writing, but because a local paper is the best in vestment a community can make. It nia> not Ih» crowded with great thoughtH, but llnaiietaily it is of mure benefit than both preacher or t« icher. To-day editor* d > muri fur le H pay than any men on earth.
