FIRST AMONG THE NATIONS
Duly of Every Citizen to Maintain and
Increase America'* Proud
Position.
America is the throne of th«
world. (>n her cast is the greatest I
ocean of the present ‘ on her wn«t 'S
the greatest ocean of the* future: on 1
hi r south the greatest of gulfs: on1
her north 1 he* greatest of lakes. She I
can command the trade of the world i
in material things; she can lead the
march of the nations in spiritual
things, writes Senator Albert J. ;
Beveridge, in Appleton’s Magazine.
Ia*t us do both. With more schools |
where the learning of man is taught; |
more churches where the word of j
(iod is preached ; more nerve and '
brain and pure resolve than all tho !
world combined, let us keep tlu1 lead- !
ership that now is ours and captain ■
mankind to the practical realization '
of humanity's highest hopes.
PRESIDENT JACKSON'S RETORT.
The 1 rish-American humorist did|
not appear in literature before tho,
time of the civil war, though when
the occasion called for a remark that
would outlast more pompous ex
pressions he generally said some
thing that enriched tho language. It
was the son of an Irishman, Presi
dent Andrew Jackson, who, when
his secretary of state, Van Boren, !
proffered him unasked advice ns lo ,
how the president should receive a
visiting foreign nobleman, replied,
paternally:
“Van, I onc e knew a man in Ten
nessee who made lim everlasting for-!
tune by minding his own business.” .
The humor iierc is not. very subtle,
but the speech was intended rather(
to be effective than amusing.—The
Sunday Magazine.
NO PLACE FOR PICTURES.
An incident in which humor and
pathos were combined occurred in
tlie Italian settlement of Philadel-,
phia the other day after a mission
worker had handed a little Italian
child a picture card.
“Here, little girl,” said fhe wom
an, “you can take this home and
hang it on the wall of your home.” |
“We has no walls in our room,” |
said the child.
“No walls,” said the worker, look
ing amazed.
“That’s right. There are live fam
ilies in the room where we live, one
in each corner, and we live in the
middle of the room, so you see we
ain’t got no walls to hang anything
on.”—Philadelphia Press.
—
QUITE PROBABLE.
It is evident that the young man
who writes the news items in the
Willowby Times wishes always to bo
on the safe side and exercise due cau
tion in his statements. . 1
“When Mr. Lemuel Hawkins en
tered the bedroom on the ground
floor of his farmhouse one day last
week,” wrote the careful news-gath
erer, “he found that a cow, probably
astray, had made her way there from
the open door.”—Youth’s Com
panion.
BUG'S EYE VIEW.
Bill Bug—Hi! Here comes another
one of them blamed automobiles.
THE EDITORS SALLY.
City Editor—What do you mean
by Baying in this robbery story lhat
“Brown was knocked down and re
lieved of a hundred dollars?” Were
you ever robbed yourself?
New Reporter—No, sir.
City Editor—That accounts for it.
I f you’d been robbed you wouldn’t
describe the loss of a hundred dollars
as a relief.
HIS RECORD.
Tommy Wrott—You told Dora
Hope that you had refused ms at
least half a dozen times. What a
whopper 1
Lotta Guph—It wasn't a whopper,
either. Don’t you remember that
you propoaed to me six tunes last
Thursday evening 7

THE EDUCATION OF THE BOY
With These Precepts Instilled It Is
Very Certain He Will Not Go
Far Wrong.
Teach your hoy to be true to his
word and work; to face all difficult'ies
with courage and chcerfulnc i; to
form no friendships that can bring
him into degrading associations; to
respect other people’s convictions; to
rovcrenco womanhood; to live a
clean life in thought and wort us
well ns in deed; that true manliness
always commands success; that the
best tilings in life are not those that
can bo bought with money; th.it to
command he must first learn to
obey; (lint there can be no compro
mise between honesty and dishon
esty; that the virtues of punctuality
and politeness are excellent things to
cultivate.- Kxchange.
BEDSTEADS WORTH FORTUNES.
A well-known French actress is
tlu1 happy possessor of a lied valued
at. $5,000. It is, of course, very
ancient, hut in an excellent slate of
preservation, and its adornments
carry out to the full all the lavish
beauty of the bed itself. Draped at
the back from a ring in the ceiling
are beautiful curtains of antique bro
cade, plumes of ostrich feathers 1 wip
ing them up at. the corners. The
bedspread is of richest satin, veiled
with valuable lace in exquisite de
sign. The fashionable and rich of
Pai •is arc now on a level with tin*
trans-Atlantic art lovers in their
search for the antique uml beautiful,
whatever its price, and if it possesses
authentic historic interest nil the bet
ter for the salesman, ns the bidding
for its possession is very keen. Sev
eral old Knglish country houses own
antique beds which are the envy of
the connoisseur.
LANDIS MERELY NERVOUS
When Judge Landis of Standard
Oil fame was starting his legal ca
reer he wns a nervous young man.
He had not been practicing ling
when lie unexpectedly found himself
called on to conduct an important
case. The young lawyer showed Ills
nervousness ho plainly when lie rose
to address the court that the presid
ing judge said kindly:
“Do not be afraid, Mr. Landis.”
The embryo advocate replied
promptly:
“Your honor, l stand in awe. but
fear not.”
HAY ON AN AUTO TRUCK.
Probably there is no street sight
that pels more folks to noticing than
an auto loaded with hales of hay.
Up around (he stable section in the
East Twenties this is not uncom
mon, and very often (lie automobile
laden with hay is seen in Columbus
Circle.
The contrast is marked and almost
always lends some one to sav some
thing about the passing of (lie horse
hs exemplified by the fact that even
his provender doesn’t come to him
any more horse-drawn.—New York
Sun.
HIS COSTLY HEADGEAR.
“I was surprised to hear that old
man Coopons told Jimmp Faulkner
that he wouldn’t let him marrv his
daughter under any circumstances.
What was the trouble?”
“I understand the old man noticed
that Jimmy was wearing a green
hat.”
“Will Jimmy give up the hat?”
“Not Jimmy, lie's too proud of
it. He says it cost him $200,000—
that’s the amount, you know, that
old Coopons will give his daughter
when she marries.”—Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
MEAN TO KEEP UP QUALITY.
French walnut growers in the
neighborhood of Grenoble have
formed an association to maintain
tho reputation and guarantee thn
quality of the walnuts commonly
known as “Grenobles.”
THEIR USE.
Said Ife—What good are rich re
lations, anyway ?
Said She—Oh, they are all right
when you want something to point
to without pride.
ANOTHER TRUST PLANNED.
Growers of the cocoa bean in
South and Central America are plan
ning a trust to control the price of
cocoa.
. DEFINED.
“Tommy, what ia a nuisanca?”
“Please, ma’am, it’s something be
longs to somebody else.”
