This la a danger hub proceeding. One never can tell Which way such careloBH people as the Koreans may point their weapons.

If anybody hud asked Paul the Apos tle what he considered Uio "three e entlals" of a homo ho would proba bly havo recommended bis usual for iiiln,' 'faith, hope and charity." But Paul was not a married man. Thorc Is a lieutenant In the Germnn army who has fought eight duels and to preparing to do somo more challeng ing "for tho Bake of his family's hon or." There must bo something pretty Shaky about family honor which has to be protected as hard no that. I j At Bayonne, N. J., the other day n man waa lined $10 for trying to stop a family quarrel, the magistrate In forming him that the line was admin fettered "to discourage butting in." A better excuse might have been found in tho old saying that "a fool and bin money arc soon parted." I Tho clerk who Btands long hours be Itlnd tho counter In the retail store comes Into contact with some peculiar CBpects of human nature. "I want to ce your llfty-cent inlttonB," asked a (CUBtomcr. The clerk showed tho en tire stock. "Oh, but I wanted them with lingers." The clerk straightway pulled down all tho varieties which he fcad of that description. "But this is pot right," continued tne troublcsomo .customer. "These arc gloves; they are pot mittens nt all." The wearied clerk, rwho vouches for the truth of tho story, Inwardly rejoices that all Ills custom ers are not like this one. I In this age of special investigations (there should be a thorough inquiry Into our system of railroading, to see ft It is not possible greatly to lessen Rhe number of accidents. Tho wreck Ecar Connollsvllle recently would coin are In destructlvcncBs with a smnll .battle. Certulnly tho loss of slxty lno lives In n single engagement would attract serious attention. Tho ccurrenco of several "accidents" that might have been avoided If duo caro had been exorcised has led more thnn ne person to rcmnrk that tho opera tion of American railways leaves much io bo desired In the way of safety. as well as from England, Spain, Itnly West Indies, Cnnada and Mexico. And this In spite of tho thousands of acre sdt out to onions in the United Btaten every year. As for cheese, it alone comes to us from twenty-one countries. And then there aro eggs. Why, China nlono had to help u out with eighty thousand dozen, and wo had to call on Canada, Mexico, Japan, England and France beside. The sheep herders 01 tho world watched their Hocks bj night and by day that American might be covered with woolen cloth ing. Popper and spices are Imported. too, and Undo Hum had to buy horses from Norway and Sweden, milk In Denmojk, elder In Spain and Cuba, sausages In Hongkong, and coffee from various places. Wo generally suppose that, except for the slpccs, most things that wc eat are home-gtown. but Undo Sam's reconlH tell quite an other story. We proudly call ourselves a free people. Tho fact Is wc are altogether too free. We boast that thero Is no power over us but that of Cod and wo show It clearly In our everyday disregard for law and order. Wo gov ern ourselves, we say, and that moans, Interpreted In the light of actual fact, that wo aro not governed f t all. It Is no exaggeration to say that the poo- pic of the United States havo more law and loss order than any other peo- nlo on earth. Tho Chicago theater dis aster, for Instance, has developed the fact that hardly a single theater build ing In tho wholo country Is built in conformity with the laws for safety. Wo habitually shut our eyes to the little violations of law, and out of these great disasters come. Look through tho list of railroad wrecks that are al most constantly horrifying tho public, nnd In many cases it will be found that tho cause lies In some violation or law that was considered too Insignifi cant to bother nbout. Violation of an- totnobllo Bpccd ordinances Is consid ered of no consequence. Almost every man who owns an automobile mns It to BUlt hlfl own sweet will. Yet If tho victims killed and Hinlmed every month through this violation of law be collected Into one great disaster, the public would bo appalled at 1L It Is the llttlo things that mako up life. It Is tho little things that form the basis of great achievements or of great fail ures nnd great disasters. And in tho everyday llttlo things we give the law small respect. In llttlo things wo aro a lawless people. OPINION OF THE EDITOh Of THE "NEBRASKA FARMER. Tho preacher who seeks to shine In ratory, scientific accuracy nnd histori cal learning puts hlniBelf on perilous ground whero some of his hctircrs may 9ave him nt n disadvantage. If ho jehooses the appeal to tho Affections pnd the conscience, he Is In his own undisputed province. Similar Is the danger In attacking so-called evils. Many n preacher has- forever destroyed ln usefulness with some of his parish ioners by dipping into local political or business questions. The man or wom an who has been hurt by bitter words from the pulpit can hardly bo renched by appeals from that pulpit, and tho surest way to reform tho world Is not o drive the sinner from his sin, but to ead him kindly to righteousness., ! "With American wngonB ordored for jwar service by the Czar of all tho Rus plat, American flour girdling tho (World, and American cotton, machin ery and manufactures of all kinds (known far and near beyond our bor ders, u sounds as if wo wero doing Pll the International soiling. Instead, re are ene of the greatest buyers titmeng the nations, and our. market r everywhere. We buy beeswax Some reforms bcoui to come by chance. Thero wore complaints of overcrowded schools nt Batavla, N. Y., and tho hoard secured seven extra teachers. Tho superintendent, Instead of sotting them to hearing recltatloiH like tho regular teachers, Bet them to giving individual instructions to pu pils that eVi'o behind in tho course and wero a drag on tho wholo school. Tho oxpcrlenco was, to quote tho re port of the State superintendent, a startling nnd Instantaneous success. Discouragement, which la tho bano of Bchool life, has disappeared from all faces and tears from all eyes. Tho backward pupils have become forward, so to speak, and In mnny cases have passed tho bright bghtu and lending pupils of tho clnss room bo that these havo nil they can do to keep up their old standing. These seven extra teach ers go from room to room In their work, helping along tho backward wherever found. They are not assist ants or BUbordinates, but rank witli tho regular touchers nnd receive tho srnno pay. They do not in any sense do tho pupil's work, but show him how to do it for himself, how to con centrate tho mind, how to study. Tho Journal of Pedagogy unreservedly ap proves tho plan thus: "A rather wlda observation of public school conditions Justifies us In saying that there may ho seen in Batavla a healthier, hap pier, more industrious body of teach era and pupils thnn aro to be found In any other public school system In America. Tho first impression one got? is that of an abounding physical and Intellectual life. Although tho teach ers and pupils work ns hnrd in the Batavln schools as elsowhoro, thero Is no complaint nbout overwork and nervousncBs, nnd there Is trustworthy ovldence that the health of tho puplln entering school in a phyRlclal condition bolow the normal has shown a de elded cbnnge for tho better." Of course the system Is not new, except to the public schools of this country. Tho private tutor in British Instltu tions Is ns old as the educational sys tem thero, nnd the office is funda mental In continental education. Itg accidental application to the public schools seems to havo worked wonder fully well. It Is worth thinking about He ICxprcoo 1(1 Approval of Ameri ( can Kitiltcrntlon to Can nil a. During the winter months the head of the family consults with the other members as to the prospects for tho future, and doubtless one of the most Interesting topics discussed Is that of moving to some district where It is possible to more easily Hccure what Is necessary for u comfortable existence, whero It Is an easy mutter to become possessed of sullk'lent farm land to usBiiro u competence for the future. 'J his not only Interests tho head of the family but every Individual mem ber of It Having before rno the knowledge whero he can secure a homo with tho expenditure of hut llttlo money, it Is well for him to obtain all Information possible regarding the productiveness of tho land In the country that he may select. For several years past a large number of Americans have removed to Western Canada, and as nearly as It can bo ascertained almost all of these have expressed themselves satisfied , with the conditions that exist there. During the past summer a number of the editors of farm papers throughout tho United States made a personal vis- It on a tour of Inspection, and the re ports of these gentlemen prove Inter- ng reading. Mr. II. E. Heath, editor of the Nobraska Knrmer, a paper en Joying a wide circulation, ns well as the confidence of its subscribers, after giving Koine Idea of tho extent of this wonderful country, says: "Western Canada Is the last unoccu pied and unimproved good agricultural land In America available to-day." lie then discusses its possibilities for rnjslng live stock nnd tho advantages It possesses for dairying, farming and whent growing, and says, "What has been said about the country ns to the ability of the soil, the yield of won derful crops of wheat la quite Justi fied." To quote further from Mr. Heath, he says, referring to climate: "These people (skeptical ones) do not know or realize that altitude more thnn latitude makes climates; that large bodies of water, both fresh and salt, that never freeze over, exert a wonderful Influence on climate. An other Influence on climate, more po tent than those named above, which npplles more to tho Alberta district, Is the warm Chinook breeze from tho Pnclflc Ocean, which Is (100 or 700' miles nearer than Colorado or Wyo ming, besides the Kocky Mountain range is not nearly so high nor half so far from the ocean ns It 1b down in the States. "In further considering the climate of the Canadian prairies, wo should not lose sight of the fact of the influ ence of tho rains; the total average rainfall for the season is but 13.:s,1 Inches for the territories nnd 17.151 Inches In Manitoba, and that tha amounts falling between .April 1 nnd Oct. 1 are respectively 0.39 Inches and 12 87 Inches or about three-fourths ol tho entlro rainfall. From the mlddlo of June to the middle of July there are over two hours more daylight In every twenty-four hours than there is In NehriiBkn. The main reason why West ern Canada wheat grows to such per fection is the effect of solar light ot longer period of sunshine it gets eacq day. This Is what makes seeds oi grain more perfect, grown In this coun try than elsewhere. This extraordi nary rapid growth of vegetation undex tho influence of thia long continued sunshine exceeds anything known In .lower latitudes. "We do not wish It understood thai whent alone la the main product ol this country; it lends in that yet it h destined to become famous for its cat tle, horses and sheep and for its dnlry products. We saw more and Inrgej bands of cattle nnd sheep grazing In Apslnlboln nnd Alberta thnn we eyej saw on - western plnlns of the Unit ed States. One bnnd of cnttle num bering 5,00 head were grazing on tin rich grass and sheep without num ber." The Government of the Domlnloi of Cnundn is still using the same ener getic eiorts which have been nsed foi tho past llvo or six years to settle up these western prairies, and on applica tion to any Agent of the Cnnndlau Government tho settler will be ablt to secure a certificate entitling him to a low rate, which will give him thi opportunity of visiting any portion ol Canada's grain producing doranln.

It Is a reflection upon your own bus iness ability that you cannot make i living duriug business hours. Youi 1.1 humor is n confession to your wife of your weakness and Incapacity, and of your not being mnster of tho sit nation or cqunl to confronting emerg encies. Women naturnlly admire strength, capuclty, efficiency nun courugo in men. Thoy admire n man who can not only mnke u living, bu Also make it easily, without fretting, stowing or worrying.

Good cheer, n feeling of good will toward one another and toward other people, nnd a spirit of helpfulness and utter unselfishness should nl ways bo present in the home. It should be regarded ns the most sacred spot on enrth. The husband should look upon it ns the one place In all the world where he can get away from business troubles, nnd the ex nctlons, grinding nnd crowding of life's struggles n plnce to which he can flee from all Inhnrmony nnd dis cord, nnd find pence nnd rest con tentment nnd satisfaction. It should be n place where he always longs to go, nnd from which ho Is loath to part. Success. HIS MUSTACHE WAS GCNE. former IWctnticr of Conirrefis W'n Not Kecomilzcd Iit Old KrlcnON. A portly, smooth-shaven man walked Into tho house yesterday and greeted members with "Hello, Bill," and "Hello, Sam," with all the assurance of an old acquaintance.
