Editor Euo3 of tho Stanton Picket
gives some sound advice to young poo
ploin the followiug After all n year
or two at the close of a mans life after
ho has grown old perhaps beoomo de
crepit is not or such great importance
from a business seuso Its tho early
years that count Years when a man is
young vigorous and at his best Then
ouo year is of moro actual value than at
any other period Aud yet compara
tively few porsons appreciate this fact
This is the period in so many lives
whou timo is frittered away because its
value is not recognized Occasionally
wo meet with a man who does and in
almost every such instance wo find him
in aftor years well-to-do a success in
what over vocation ho may have en
gaged Tho youug man who does not
think it necessary to sow a cropof wild
oats before he begins to prepare the
grounds for a crop of wheat is tho man
who reaps a good harvest iu season
Tho working years of the average mans
life aro too few to be wasted It doesnt
pay Tho same rule will apply to wo
men
Among tho up to date business men it
is considered decidedly bad form to talk
in a derogatory manner of a competitor
This rule is so universal aud so well
established that business men in this
day and age seldom break over it
There is however an all too prevalent
habit among some young business men
of dropping now and then little remarks
of a derogatory character which for the
want of a better term has been styled
iu tho popular vernacular knocking
A kicker is a man who finds fault
Ho is a man who objects to everything
that is done Perhaps ho is hypercriti

knocker is aman of jealous disposition

undermine him or block his progress iu

place to give the following extract
Dont knock Help yourself Jaloug by
becoming popular and push your
friends with you Its dead easy Be
a good fellow and you will soon have a
procession of followers No man ever
helped himself by knocking other
people down iu character and business
No man ever got rich by trying to make
others believe that he was the ouly man

what it is to have a wife sick complain
ing always an invalid for twenty five
years seldom a day well andyet never
a word of uukindness has ever passed

thoughtful kiud gentleman I knew
when first he came and sought my hand
I know him because I am his wife and
it is my proudest pleasure to say this
not because ho is the president but
because ho is my husband I wish that
I could have seou him yesterday I
love to see him among the people whom
he seeks to serve so faithfully Bat I
read his speeches this morning I read
all his speeches I ouly wish that I
could help him as I should But ho is
so kiud so good so patient Ho gives
me all the time he can He never for
gets mo no matter how busv he is
But I will be glad when he is out of
publio life I did not want him to run

enough for the country and now I
know that he has done enough and
when this term expires he will come

CromrreU Was a Ilnthleaa Victor
We must remember always that un
der Cromwell there was no burning at
the stake no dreadful torture In cold
blood and therefore at his worst ho
rises In degree above Philip and Alva
But In kind his deeds In Ireland were
the same as theirs In the Netherlands
and though the Puritan soldiers were
guiltless of the hideous licentiousness
shown by tho Spaniards or by the
armies of Tilly and Wallensteln yet
tho merciless butchery of the entlro
garrisons and of nil the priests ac
companied by tho slaughter of other
noncombatunts lu at least somo cases
leave Drogheda and Wexford as black
and terrible stains on Cromwells char
acter
Cromwell and his lieutenants put
down tho Insurrection and established
order because they gained such sweep
ing victories not because Cromwell
made merciless use of his first victo
ries It was the fighting of the Purl
tans In the battle itself which won
and not their ferocity after the battle
and It was Cromwell who not merely
gavo free rein to this ferocity but In
spired It Seemingly quarter would have
been freely given had it not been for
his commands Neither in morals nor
In policy wero these slaughters Justi
