KNEW SOMETHING ABOUT IT
Modest Appearing Man Proved He
Had Right to Criticise Youth
ful Art Student.
An art student was copying one of
Abbott S. Thayer’s paintings at tho
New York Metropolitan Museum of
Art one day, when a plainly dressed
man who looked as If he might be
i mechanic approached and, posting
almself at the young man's elbow,
watched him as he labored over bis
lubjeet.
“You’ve got the angle of the mouth
wrong, and the left eye is too oblique,’’
remarked the man decidedly.
The student blinked angrily and the
hand that wilded the brush trembled
slightly, but he took no notice of the
unsolicited criticism.
"There is too much yellow in your
flesh tint," continued the man.
"Still no reply from the student,
who ostentatiously slapped on more
fellow in the high light on the nose.
"Did you hear what I said?" ques
tioned tho man.
“Yes, I heard,” responded the stu
dent wrathfully, turning and glaring
at his modest looking critic. "What do
you know about it, anyway?"
"I ought to know something about
it,” was the smiling response. "It was
[ who painted the picture."
FIRE DOG UNWELCOME GUEST
Even Boarding Him One Day in tho
Week Almost Gives Woman
Nervous Prostration.
Ask any fireman’s wife what day in
the week she dreads most, and the
chances are she will tell you the day
the fire station dog takes his meals
at her house, says the Philadelphia
Times.
"Not that we don’t like the
one woman said, "but because wo
have to be so careful about our cook
ing. The men at the station where
my husband works are afraid to bring
Harney up on restaurant food. They
think he will thrive better on good
home cooking, so they take turns at
entertaining him.
"Wednesday is his day here. lie
comes for all three meals. It is a day
of anxiety. If I make things too rich
Ilob swears I’ll give Harney indiges
tion. If they aren't rich enough he
will not be sufficiently nourished. I
don’t mind cooking for Hob nor for
any amount of company, my mother
in-law included, but fixing things for
Harney gets on my nerves.”
Threw Wooden Shoes at Bride.
In the shower of missiles hurled
after the wedded pair something
struck the settlement worker with
Btinging force. "What on earth!" she
exclaimed; then quickly added: "A
wooden shoe! Who ever heard of
throwing a wooden shoe at a bride?”
“Most everybody who has attended
weddings In this part of town has
heard of it." said the officiating curate.
"It Is the custom here to throw wood
en shoes because at some time in her
life nearly every bride has worn a
pair. For the present generation they
were not her Sunday shoes, nor her
evening dress shoes, nor even her ev
eryday street shoes, but around the
house and maybe to the nearby shops
In rainy weather she has clattered
around often enough in wooden shoes
to Justify having a pair thrown at her
for old time’s sake "—Boston Herald.
DIP CATTLE IN 5HARP
About 150 head of cattle were
dipped in the vat here Saturday,
and much satisfaction was express
ed with this method of eradicating
the fever tick. It is claimed by
many that since this demonstra
tion of the work, many more cat
tle owners will have their cattle at
the vat on the next date set for
dipping.—Sharp County Record.
THE GOOD CITIZEN
We have no man in mind when
we say that the individual who
seeks to better national affairs and
neglects to provide comforts for
his family is not a good citizen.
Let us till the state and nation
with prudent and provident men;
men who care first for their fam
ilies and second for the nation and
we need not fear results. Bosses
may come and go; political parties
may meet with success or suffer
disappointments; revivals may
create temporary enthusiasm; the
mayor of a city may be puffed up
by temporary authority; but the
good citizen will bring us through
our temporal afflictions, and the
good citizen is the one who has a
home.—Cotter Record.

A FIVE MINUTE SER
MON ON SOCIALISM
“No man can serve two masters: for
either lie will hate the one and love
the other; or he will hold to the one,
and depisethe other. Ye cannot serve
God and Mammon.” Mat. 8-24.
It is a well known fact that a ma
chine built on wrong- principles is al
ways impractical.
Now we can see that the industrial j
machine we call capitalism, which is
built on the principle of competition
and has through the laws of trade I
evolved into private monopoly, is im
practical.
It utterly fails to give employment
to all tlie people, it enables the strong
to take advantage of the weak and as
a result we have reached the point
where the few who produce nothing
have all the wealth and the many who
produce all, nothing.
According to the best statistics ob
tainable <1.000 millionaires own 80 bil
lions of the wealth of the U. S. Com
puting their increase at 6 per cent
compounded annually, (which is much
less than their actual earnings, i in
about 15 years they will own every
dollar's worth of wealth in the entire
U. S.
Will you he one of the 8,000 or will
you he one of the dispossessed?
What would you think of parents
who would permit the larger, stronger
hoy to take advantage of his weaker
brother? Would such a system be
practical for the family?
'(The motto of capitalism is “Get all
you can and keep all you get,” while
the Bible teaches “Lay not up tivas
u-es on earth.” “Woe unto them that
join house to house and lay field
against field.”
Is such a system in harmony with ;
“Doing unto others as you would ■
have others do unto you?'’
Now, since it is clear that capitalism ■
is not practical for the great majority !
of the people and is wrong in princi
ple. let us test Socialism by the same
rule
The industrial machine called Soc- j
ialism will be built on the principle of i
Cooperation, or the collective owner- ;
ship of the machinery of production I
and distribution, under democratic
management, with equal opportunity |
for all to secure the production of
their labor.
You will admit that so far as Co- j
operation has been applied under the I
present system it has been a success, j
for instance, co-operation in produc
tion in our large factories, is the onlj !
practical feature of them. Individual i
methods were succeeded by cooper::-1
tion because they became impractical
for production on a large scale.
Now, if you will make the owner
ship of the factory and the distribu
tion of the product cooperative you
will make the entire system practical,
and that will be Socialism.
The public school and the postal
system also demonstrate that the So
cialist principle is practical for they
are collectively owned and operated
for the good of all the people, and are
in the main successful and satisfact
ory.
The only impractical features con
nected with them is that we permit the
privately owned corporations, such as
the railroads and school book trusts
to rob us by their exhorbitant rates
and prices, and the further fact that
they are not democratically managed. I
If it is practical to cel our education
at cost and get our mail carried at
cost, would it not also be practical to
get food, clothir.tr, shelter and trans
pollution «it cost?
You will agroe that the church or- |
gunization is a practical institution. |
You praticetlie principles of Socialism
in its management. The church which I
is collectively used is collectively)
owned and is managed democratically j
while the things that are privately us-1
ed by the members are privately own
ed and there i-. equal opportunity for:
all to do church work or to receive the
benefits or advantages to be derived :
from the organization.
These are the principles oi Social
ism and there are no others.
Since you practice these principles
in your church organization, how can I
you consistently condemn other for ad
vocating them? Why do you *not
I’UK.\<'ll these principles a> veil as
}*RA(.’TICK them?
When you have studied tin m a little I
more carefully and learn that they are I
in harmony with true ic'igiun and
morality we know you wi.l.
CAPITALISM or tin stem of pro
duction for profit, is tailing something ,
from your neighbor without retur ning j
an equivalent, and is the spirit of i
GREED or MAMMON.
SOCIALISM or the sy stem of pro- i
duetion for use is a system of CO-OP- I
KRATJoN where every exchange ison !
a basis of giving an exact LOCI VA
LENT and is tie spirit of .H’STICE,
or GOOD or G( >1)
"Ye cannot serve BOTH God and!
mammon'' which "ill you choose?—
