Horace Greeley said: "Famo tt vnHir,

The government has nlxillHlii-d tlio
praetleo of letting mull contracts to
contractors who sub-let them at stnrva

will be made dlri'ct with rcspoimlldo

Is located.
Tho drawing of warrants on the state
treasury for the payments of the school
appropriations wire commenced Au
gust 1. I'aymeiits of the in nicy allowed
annually to the schools should have lie

cident to calling out the national guard
has caused the ddav.
"It Is to the middle class that wo
must look for the mlvntlon of thn Htv
public," pays Just leu Hrewer of tho
Supremo Court. "Men who devote
their entire attention to tho accumula
tion of wealth nro not tho best citizens.
Those little homes, many of them hum
ble In appearance, nro the places to
which we must look for the preservation
of national patriotism and tho spirit of
liberty. The pauper is not tho man to
depend upon In tho tlmo of trouble,
noitlier is tho individual who tnhuhits
a palace and devotes his days and nights
to piling up millions."
Everyone who owns mora than the
clothes on his back should make a will.
There is a notion sometimes that you
will die Boon if you make your will, but
that is mere nonsense and superstition.
Some men dislike to bring that thought
of death so closely and practically be
fore their minds, and that Is weakness.
What is the use of blinking und closing
one's eyes to tho great universal fact?
Death is certain, and tho most wiso and
most sensible thing Is to provide against
it as far as we can. A will makes your
mind easy. It saves disputes, quarrels
and much ex pen no after you are gone.
You cau change it ut any tlmo if desir
able. "Xo man that Is, no man of any
character, menial strengthen' purpose
in life ever puts his hut on In tho same
way for ovory occasion," writes Robort
J. Burdette in tho August LmlivH' llmue
Journal. "Ho makes It spoak a varied
language a perfect polygot of a hat.
It not only interprets character, but
moods. It is eloquent as music. A
man can train it to say anything. He
Applauds and defies, cajoles and threat
ens with It, by his manner of wearing
it. I onco saw a preachor and a bettor
man it would bo hard to find put on
his hat ono day at an association before
ho got half-way to tho door. And if ho
had said ever so softly with his eloquent
lips what he yelled with that Imt they
would havo cast him out of the syna
gogue into utter darkness and condom
nation." Reynoldsvillo may lack In some
things but thoro is no luck for boys
who aro extremely devilish, and if the
christian parents of some of these bad
' boys were informed of tho wickedness
of their offsprings they would hardly,
believe your statement, and if the boy
looked innocently like boys can look
at his fathor and positively denied
the charges that had been made against
hU character, then the father would be
lieve that you either lied or were mis
taken about the boy. It is a delicate
and dangerous business, if you value
friendship, to go to a friend and tell
him the faults of his son. For this
reason many parents are ignorant of
the evil habits their boys are forming
until the habits have become so strong
that the boy's life is wrecked, then the
parent laments and says, "If I bad only
known that my boy was forming such
habits before he become a slave to them,
I surely could have saved him." But
his eyes have been opened when it is
too late. Almost every person in a
town knows long before tho parents do
when a boy swears, lies, chews tobacco,
mok3S cigarettes and cigars, drinks
and does other things that wreck life
and character. "Why is It that other
people know first," you ask? In the
first place the parental love overlooks
many things that the stern world sees
quiokly. Secondly, boys can be lambs
at home, under the parent's eyes, and
lions on. the street; Thirdly, people
don't care to tell parents bow had their
boys are for the reasons previously
stated in this article, afraid of making
an enemy. Of course there are parents
who would thank friends for such infor
mation, but they are few and you can
not always pick them out by their looks.
Parents should always accept such In
formation In good spirit and make a
very careful Investigation. It may save
shame and bitter tears In after life.
Large Crowd Attended Convention.
The summer convention of the Wash
lngtou Township Sunday School Asso
ciation has gone Into history, and such
history It is that the citizens of Wash
lngtou township and Jefferson county
may well fool proud of. Though the
weather was Intensely hot all day dur
Ing all of three sessions, lasting two and
one-half hours each, thn spacious Pres
byterian church of Deeehwoods was
filled with nn attentlvo audience. Tho
program as announced wan carried out
In full with additional recitations by
Misses Klnle O'Harn, Gertrudo Moure,
Ell.n Orenholtx and Lulu Hunter, solo
by Miss Atinlo Smith. Tho Orovo
Summit mixed quartette was most
heartily encored.
Excellent papers Were read by Mrs. F.
H. Williams on "Tho Teacher's Labors
and Howards:" Mrs. J. I. Shaw on
"Tho Teacher lief ore tho Class;" Mrs.
Jennie Hunter on "The Teacher Out of
tho School."
Addresses were nmdo by Hev. S. M
(icohrlng and Hev. W. H. Huzza on
"The 1'ower of tho Teacher's Moral
Examplu."
Hev. Itleh and Dr. Free, of DuHols,
and H. F. C'rosley and Austin Ulakesleo,
of Cool Glen, spoke on "Tho Teacher's
Help." Miss Ella McKeon on "l'rliiiiiry
Work." Hev. Iloyd McCullough and
Hov. J. (J. Harshaw on "The Hiblo In
tho Sunday School."
Tho principal feature of tho evening
session was an address by Hev. F. H.
Itrltt, of Corsica, on "The Seven Lights
for the Sunday School," Illustrated by
an object lesson.
Tho officers elected for the ensuing
year are Austin Hlakeslee, president,
and Fred C'rosley, secretary, both of
Coal Glen. The Association has a largo
map of Halestlno which is at each ses
sion awarded to tho school showing the
largest percentage of increased attend
ance during tho six months proceeding.
Tho mnp was won by tho Sandy Valley
L nion School.
A banner Is given to tho school that,
during tho past six months, gives tho
most to missions, per capita based on
averngo attendance. Sugar Hill Pres
byterian school curried off tho honors,
$U.01 being amount contributed.
(juite a bit of plcusant rivalry is en
thused between tho schools by theBO
awards. Washington township organ
ization proudly eluims to bo tho oldest
and best township organization in tho
county, being but a few months pro
ceeded by tho county organization It
self. Tho Association embraces about
fourteen schools, several of other town-
ships being Included.
Tho following llgures bIiow tho mighty
uplift to tho work as an inlluoneo of tho
convention: Thirteen Bchools report
an enrollment of i.'lliil and an averuge
attendance of lO.'li.
Eleven schools report contributions
to tho cause of Home and Foreign Mis
sions, during tho past six mouths,

the State that can exceed tills, especial
ly for n country district? Wo do not
mention this boastingly but Blmply to
show the results of organized effort and
in some ways indleato tho benefits of or
ganization.
Tho next convention will meet at
Falls Creek. Rkv. A. Z. Myers.
Yellowstone Park and Omaha Exposition.
The Yellowstone National Park Is
unquestionably ono of the most Interest
ing regions on tho globe, for w ithin It
Is displayed the greatest collection of
nature's manifold wonders. Indeed,
this mountain-bound plateau, high up
on tho summit of tho everlasting
Rockies, is a veritable playground for
tho world's giant forces.
Tho personally-conducted tour of tho
Pennsylvania Railroad Compuny, which
leaves Now York on September 1,
affords the most satisfactory means of
visiting this wonderland and viewing
Its marvelous features. A stop of two
days will be made on tho return trip
at Omaha, affording an opportunity to
visit tho Trans-Mississippi Exposition.
Tourists will travol by special rain of
Pullman smoking, dining, sleeping, and
observation cars In each direction.
Eight days will bo spent In the Park.
A stop will also be made returning at
Chicago. Tho round-trip rato, $235
