NOVEMBER
Of all months of the year Nov
ember is the one for reflection ; as
we review the past we can not but
contemplate the future. The an
nual death of the leaves and flowers
and their annual resurrection teach
a beautiful lesson. What is more
richly instructive than the verdure
of spring? Field and forest
mantled with emerald in April,
whitened with blossoms in May
and June, awaken all that is nob
lest and best in our natures. The
rich summer beauty, the luxuri
ance of the harvest, the brilliancy
of autumn inspire us with richer
and riper thoughts. The whole
summer is a continuous feast that,
we try to share with our friends.
The saddest day of the year to a
lover of flowers is one that suc
ceeds a hard frost. A thousand
attachments are severed in a few
hours. The wilderness that had
blossomed as the rose has become
a blackened sepulchre at the touch
of the icy lips of King Frost. But
we have only to wait a few months
and we hail once more the vernal
spring, for ’tis only through death
that we live again. There are a
multitude of blessings for every
sorrow.
People of all classes that need
help are looking about for intelli
gent, industrious, well behaved,
gentlemanly boys. A boy of that
kind is laying a good foundation
for success in life.
VISIT YOUR SCHOOL.
How many of our shool children’s
parents ever visit the schools or
even know the teachers when they
meet them on the street? How
many know what their children
are Studying, or how they are pro
gressing? Is there any of you
who have a building to make or a
fence to build; a dress to make; a
house to paint, or whatever the
job may be, that say to the one
you have employed: Here are the
tools and material, go ahead and
do it to suit yourself, and it will
suit me.
Is not that what many of you
are doing with your children? You
say by your actions: “Here is my
child, with its books, paper and
pencil, I’ve furnished material and
tools, educate him as you like.”
Now we hear some of you sav:
“The teacher knows better what
they ought to study than I do.”
While that, may be, is part true,
the carpenter or a dressmaker, or
a painter, knows better how to do
the work than you do, yet you do
i not leave it all 1o them. On the
j rising generation depends the wel
I fare of the great nation.
1 Patrons and parents, take more
interest in our schools and visit
! them often, and by your presence
■ give the teachers more encourage
j ment; ask them how your children
| are doing. Perhaps a few min
utes talk with them will save trou

MEN WHO KILL A TOWN
OR NEIGHBORHOOD.
The following from an exchange,
though old, contains some plain
facts that cannot be denied:
A town or neighborhood that
never has anything to do in a pub
lic way is on the road to the ceme
tary. Any citizen who “kicks”
against doing anything for either
town or neighborhood furnishes
the coffin. The man who is so
selfish as to have no time from his
business to give to any public en
terprise is making the shroud. The
merchant, town or country, who
mon shuu. Success and failure are
each a part of life and often those
who have made the hardest fight
are vanquished in the race.
A subsciber writug us from the
far west is certainly a fine speci
men of a brag. He says: ‘‘This
is, indeed, a wonderful country.
Every hamlet is a town, every
town a city, every farm a ranch,
every barnyard a coral, every
mound a mountain, and every man
a liar ”
Too many of our young people
fail in showing considerate atten
tion, and too often do not fully
appreciate the self sacrificing love
and benign presence of mother.

will not advertise, is driving the
hearse. The man who is always
pulling back from any public en
terprise throws boquets on the
grave.
The man who is so stingy and
selfish as to always ball hard times,
preaches the funeral sermon and
sings the doxology.
In these days of strife between
two great political parties we must
remember that after all we are just
a band of brothers here on earth,
from cradle to the grave. We live
side by side, our children attend
the same school and after the
smoke of the battle has cleared
away, we will still be friends and
neighbors. Let the bitter things
go unsaid. At best life is short,
and we get out of it a full measure
of sorrow. Let us in our little
city live as one big, good natured
family.—Ex.

you give your advertisement your
best attention ? If you expect to
do a large business on the fact that
you know so many people, you will
get left. The ones you don’t know
are in the great majority. How
are you to reach them in the most
favorable manner at the least ex
pense! By placing an attractive
advertisement in the newspaper.
The papers of the larger cities
are all right if you want them^ but
it is your own home paper that ad
vertises your churches, your
numerous societies, symyathizes
with you in yonr afflictions and
rejoices with you in your prosperi

that mentions the thousand .and

Few people stop to think that
their individual happiness is not
independent on outside circum
stances. A habit of happiness can
be cultivated, like any other habit
and just as successfully. Happi
ness is as much a duty as cleanli
ness and morality. The cheerful,
hopeful temper which refuses to
let itself be harrowed up, it is
everyone’s duty to cultivate. There
is a beautiful legend that at crea
tion’s dawn an angel came down
to earth, seeking something to take
back with it to heaven. It return
ed with a boquet of flowers, a ba
by’s smile and a mother’s love.
When it reached the pearly gates
of Paradise again the flowers had
withered, the baby’s smile had
gone, but the mother’s love
was found to be as pure and eter
nal as the waters that flowed by
the heavenly throne, and all the
angels exclaimed: “There is noth
ing on earth pure enough for heav
en but a mother’s love.”

Nearly all the watch signs, prob

set at 8:18, but comparatively few,
people know why this is. It i8 no

a jeweler of that city when the
news of the assasination of Abra

received in New York and the lat
ter ordered the painter to put Up.
on the dial the handsthe exact time
when the fatal shot was fired
namely 8:18, and so they have
continued ever since. Whenever
you see a sign after this, recall the
fact that it points to the fatal mo

And it came to pass that after
he had advertised his goods, there
came unto him great multitudes
from all the regions round about
and did buy of him. And when
his competitors saw it they mar

“How be it that this man is”busy
while we loaf idly about our doors!”
And he spake unto them: “In
