PUT AWAY YOl R HAMMER.
Then? is an anarchistic streak in
about four-fifths of the human
family. There is a tendency to
puli a man back when we see him
getting to the front. \\ e are apt
to yet out our little hammer ami
knock when we ought to help.
Too often it is said of an enter
prising, progressive man that he
is actuated in his efforts by scfisli
motives, that he expects to make]
something out of it. and therefore
we knock. Too many cannot see
any good in movements proposed
Jty the other fellow simply because
thought of it first and lmd the
^courage to do something, and tna.v
get some credit for his efforts.,
Too many will not encourage an>
enterprise unless the idea origi
nated within themselves, fearing
the other fellow may make a dol
lar out of it. If the aim cannot
he clearly seen, too many of us
think and say, l*He has something
in view and expects to make some
thing out of it. ^ hat ot it '■
Suppose he does f What matte is
it how much he makes so long as
lie injures none *.
Too many are so narrow in their
views that they will not contribute
a nickle for any purpose unless
they can see a dollar in it for
themselves. Had much rather pul!
back than forward unless in the
lead, and nine times out of ten
when m the lead they travel like
the crawfish backward. \N hen the
contribution box tor public bene
fit- is passed, drop a dollar into it.
if you can't do that, it you are too
hard up. or too stinking squee/.y
to do it, you can drop in a few
good words. They often go as far
a.- money and sometimes even fur
ther. At any rate you can put
away your hammer.
REAL) THIS TO YOUR BOV.
J udge ^ otionl of Kansas ( it.v
jn a recent address to bo.ys, ga\<
advice which if headed, would rev
olutionize the whole country. 1
should be read to every boy in th
United States, lie says:
“l have been on the bench four
teen years and during that tiin
thousands of boys have l»ec
bronght before me, but not one <
them was a constant attendant s
church or Sunday school or obed
ent to his father or mother,
have inquired of many boys win
caused them to get into troubi
and have found that in most ii
stances staying away from hon
and school and playing i>ool,h»nf
ino around saloons and cigarette
smoking were responsible.
‘‘Start right, boys. To be any
body, to accomplish anything for
yourself or the community you
cannot be idle. Don't drink liquor
it destroys the mino and body.
Don't swear gentlemen do not.
Don't read trashy literature—it
leads to evil. Don’t hang around
saloons gentlemen are not made
that way. Whenever you see a
man laying around a saloon the
devil is after him and will get him
sooner or later. Ben jamin Frank
lin would never have accomplished
anything it he had been guilty of
these practices. Be honest, above
all things. Poor boys make the
best future citizens.
"To make a good man you must
be a good boy. So start right.
Graveyards are filled with those
who started wrong. Let me im
press upon you the only road to
success is by living right. Be
honest, industrious and frugal. It
is not necessary to he sanctimonies
to wear a long face. Keep
laughing. Have a good time a>
you go through life, but let it he
the right sort of a good time.
SUCH IS FAME.
A fanner’s wife in an isolated
district- of the “black belt," being
greatly stirred upas to the possi
ble effects upon the negroes of an
other Republican triumph,
thought she would sound the feel
ings of her colored aids by inter
viewing the cook. Accordingly,
the morning after the election, as
she was in the kitchen attending
to her usual duties, she began by
saying to the cook, in a casual
way:
“Well, Nancy, how do you like
Roosevelt
“Lor’, Miss Mary.’’ replied
Nancy, looking up with a puzzled
expression from the tray in which
she was kneading biscuits, "1 de

How to Find Out.
You can easily determine if your kidneys are
out of order by setting aside for 24 hours a
bottle of the urine passed upon arising. If
upon examination it is cloudy or milky or has
a brick-dust sediment or small particles float
about in it, your kidneys are diseased, and
FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE should be taken
at once.

G B Burhans of Carlisle Center, N. Y., writes:
-About four years ago 1 wrote you stating that 1 had been entirely
