It Is the daily life that' tests us, the
manuer of men we are. It is not our
prayers, It is not our profession, but It
Is the tone of daily intercourse and
conduct that decides how we stand.
The little homely graces: the theerlul,
everyday amenities; the Christ-like
spirit uttering itself, not so much In
Conscious act as In an unconscious in
fluence; not so much in deed as in that
subtle aroma which, without name
exudes from the saintly soul, to equals
and Inferiors, to agreeable and dis
Sfrreeablo. to rich, poor, ignorant, to
young, to old; beating burdens; accept
ing orocses, seeking no great thtDg to
do, content to put self by and be a
servant of the lowest these are fruits
of one root-fruiw that none can
counterfeit Ex.
A local newspaper Is absolutely
necessary to any community. It is the
home paper that keeps the people of
the community In touch with each
other by giving them all the nows of
tbeit own neighborhood and county.
For that alone they are of value and
worth far more than the small sub
scription price. They keep the local
pride and progressive spirit aroused and
In various wayo are worth far more to a
community than a community ever
spends on them. The daily paper, with
its large news service and quicker
facilities, may, in some instances over
shadow the weekly, but the weekly
home. paper fills a place In the hearts of
the people that a dally cannot fill. If
you are not a subscriber for a home
paper you should be. It would be a
dollar well spent.
A freight conductor on the P. R. R.
was suspended indefinitely recently be
cause his flagman, who wa tired and
sleepy, had left a switch open and a
passenger train' 'ran into tiding and
might have 'caused ft bad smash up.
The crew bad worked fifty-eight hours
with only two hours sleep durln-- that
time. Men are not machines and must
have rest or they are hot capable of
performing the work expected of them.
It Is a wonder more accidents don't oc
curi If the men refuse to go to work
when called then the company has no use
for them, therefore no matter how tired
and sleepy a railroader may be he must
go out on his run in an unfit condition
arid risk his own life, and thatof others,
or lose his job. A man who only gets
two hours sleep out of fifty-eight hours,
is not in condition to work and should
not be held responsible for mishaps.
If ever there was an evil deserving
the condemnation of humane men and
woman, it is the child-slavery so common
to-day and from which Reynoldsville
itself has not been entirely exempt in
the past. There may be circumstances
which justify taking a child under
fourteen years of. age out of school and
forcing it to become a wage-earner,
but in a large majority of cases, outside
of the greed "and thoughtlessness of
parents, It would be difficult to find
cause for the existing condition. To
rob a child of education is to place him
under a handicap that will degrade bis
life and transform periods that should
be sunshine to gloom. There may be a
question as to the legality of the
Beveridge child-labor kill now before
congress, but if congress cannot handle
the matter, the separate state legis
latures should lose no time in enacting
prohibitory legislation.
"The dancing girl" was the subject
of a sermon delivered by Dr. Arthur J.
Smith, evangelist, In the Presbyterian
church on Wednesday after nooon of
last week. There was a large congre
gation present, mostly of the gentler
sex. Dr. Smith's text was from part of
the 22nd verse of the 6th chapter of
Mark. "And when the daughter of
Eerodias came In, and danoed, and
pleased Herod." Dr. Smith said the
modern dance Is an obscene relic of the
heathen dance. ' He presented facts and
logical arguments to show that danoing
is injurious to good health, good morals
and spiritual life. According to facts
given Dr. Smith by persons who have
been engaged for years, and have spent
fortunes, in rescuing fallen women,
300,000 women fall every year, and that
nine out of ten girls leading life of
shame take their first step away from
the paths of virtue through the dance,
and that they do not all fall in the low
down dance, but In the social select
dance as well. He cited one case where
a Sunday school teacher attended a
dance at the home of one of the church
officers and it was at that dance she
made the step that led her into
shameful life. He spoke of the privi
leges a young man will take with a girl
in the round dance that she would not
tolerate in her parlor, and asked why a
young man should have privileges in
the ball room be oould not have in
parlor ? Dr. Smith said : "I don't say
every person who dances sin6, but they
are in danger of falling away from God."
He very emphatically expressed his
opinion of the evils of dancing by say
ing : "I would rather have my daught
er bitten by a serpent than to have her

Going my way? Yes, I'm a
little late. Stopped to buy some
Sealshipt oysters for 6Upper.
"What are they?" Why, noth
ing but just the finest oysters
you ever tasted in your life.
"Too dearforaworkingman?"
That's where you are dead
wrong. They are the only oys
ters a poor man can afford to
buy. When you buy Sealshipt
oysters vou get solid meats, and
you are not paying for dirty ice
water. My wife says that a pint
of Sealshipt will go as far as a
quart ot any other oysters.
And as for the Iflavor you
come down some Sunday night
and my wife will give you an
oyster stew that will make you
think you never tasted an oyster
