Two Vital Things to Be Considered b
Those Who Would See the
Greatest Progress and
Advancement.

ship is found the bulwark of our
publican government.
'' here the home life is ideal, there
is found genuine patriotism which is
always commensurate with the en
lightenment and the domestic happi
ness ot the people. How important it
is then that every safeguard be
thrown about the home, which is the
hotbed where are produced for devel
opment all the strength that is neces
sary for the perpetuation of a govern
ment and the maintenance of a na
tion's greatness.
The student who will study into
conditions of the countries that are
continually wrecked by internal tur
moil, such as Russia and the Central
American republics, will discover the
homes are far from ideal homes, and
that there is an absence of tire, love
o. country that should be found in the
hearts of its citizens. There is a duty
that involves upon all, and which is
due to the generations growing and to
come I he duty is to surround the
home with such environments as will
make it attractive and develop in the
growing youth the highest qualities of
manhood and womanhood. Where the
people are oppressed by monarchy
and feudalism there is no incentive to
develop the highest state of home life.
In America where all are upon an
equal plane and opportunities are
open to every citizen, and where the
people are secure in their rights to
homes, there is every reason why j
each one should make the greatest en
deavor to found for himself and his i
• progeny a residence place that will j
be sure from intrusion and be an in
centive to higher mental and social
development.
Education is all important and no
other country in the world offers to
all such glorious advantages to re
ceive enlightenment as does the Unit
ed States. It is important that the
| home be located near good schools,
j Good schools are generally found
I where there are good homes and good
| towns. The quality of citizenship of a
community can generally be gaged by
the standard of its educational insti
tutions. It is important to the home
builder that the town wherein he is lo
cated or which he may reside near,
j be a progressive place. And the bet
ter that this town be, the better will
be its educational facilities for the
youth. It is essential to the greatest
good of a community that it he real
ized by all residing within it that the
more wealthy it can be made, the
greater will be its advantages both as
to education and otherwise. By sup
port to home institutions the home is
made better in every way. Patriotic
citizens will make it their first, aim to
be loyal to their own home interests
and then their state and nation. One
who is loyal to home is generally
faithful in the performance of all the
duties that good citizenship implies.
Who Makes the Town?
I The editor of the paper at Coyle,
Ok la., asks in large lett ers, “Who
makes the town?” To make a town
1 requires the work of many people. It
is surely not the man who earns his
wages in the town and then spends
his earnings elsewhere; not the farm
er who sells his produce to the home
merchant and then takes the money
to the express or post office and sends
it to the Chicago mail order house
for the goods he needs; nor the minis
ter who is paid for preaching by the
business interests of the place, and
spends his spare time in working up
grocery clubs for an outside concern.
No, brother, these men do not make
towns.
Gov. Folk on Home Trade.
“We are proud of our splendid cities
and we want them to increase in
wealth and population and we also
want our country town to grow. We
wish the city merchants to build up
but we also desire the country mer
chants to prosper. 1 do not believe in
the mail order citizen. If a place is
good enough for a man to live in and
make his money in, it is good enough
for him to spend his money in.”
Pitiful.
Nothing is more pitiful than the man
who fails because he is afraid he will
not be able to stand prospei fty.

amusement for the boys.
Sc.entitle Playthings Which Are Not
Hard to Make.
It is a great wonder to me,” said
, an old chemist to a Philadelphia Rec
; ord man. "why more boys do not take
w chemical experiments as an amuse
ment. Why, 1 can do things with the
common materials of everyday life
which really seem to be more magical
to the uninitiated than any of the won
c ers. that are ordinarily performed by
magicians on the public stage. Some
of them are so simple that by carry
in.-, them out at a parlor entertain
ment a bright boy could achieve the
reputation of a magician. Now, there
are those curious little bubbles of
glass known variously as Prince Ru
peits drops and as ‘Dutch tears.’ Ap
parently they are little globules of
glass with elongated tails made by
heating a small glass rod in a flame
j allowing the molten drops to fall
I water. After they have cooled
j ou may pound the thick part with a
hammer or mallet, yet you cannot
break them. On the other hand, if
you break a little piece off their fails,
or touch any part of them with a
quartz crystal, they will disappear in
to the surrounding atmosphere quicker
than snow will melt on a hot fire. To
the person who does not know how
this has happened the performance is
so astonishing as to seem uncanny.”
“THE WEARING OF THE GREEN.”
Good Joke on Official Who Had Pro
hibited the Song.
“The Wearing of the Green.” which
Dion Boucicault used to sing in one
of his Irish dramas at the old Adelphi
theater, was sung for the first time
in the house of commons last week on
the occasion of the dinner given to
the colonial premiers by the Irish na
tionalist party, says the Pall Mall Ga
zette. It reminds one of the joke
practiced by the late Sir William
Wilde (lather of Oscar Wilde) on the
then attorney general for Ireland, who
had prohibited Boucicault from sing
ing this same song when performing
in Dublin with his company. It must
be remembered that there is no li
censer of plays in Ireland, but the
“Castle” has often put its foot down
in the case of songs with a seditious
reputation. Shortly afterward Sir
William invited Boucicault to dinner
to meet “a friend.” The dramatist
came, and sang the terrible tune to
the friend, who that morning had of
ficially prohibited it at the old The
ater Royal, being none other than the
attorney general himself.
Size of Central-American States.
Very few people have a correct im
pression of the size of Central Amer
ica as a whole, or of its states, taken
separately, says a writter in the Re
view of Reviews. California seems
like a large state. It extends 770
miles along the Pacific and has an
extreme width of 375 miles. If
California were laid end for end on
Central America it would cover it
with the exception of Salvador, which
is just the size of New Jersey and oc
cupies a little over 7.000 square miles.
Stated in another way, if Central
America were lifted bodliy and laid
down on our Atlantic coast it would
just hide all New England, New
York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
In short, it has a combined area of
approximately 107,000 square miles.
Individually, aside from Salvador, al
ready mentioned, the states could
be compared as follows: Honduras
to Pennsylvania, 45,000 square miles;
Gautemala to Mississippi, 47,000: Nic
aragua to New York, 49,000; Costa
Rica to Vermont and New Hampshire,
IS,000.

At 40 degrees tree trunks burst

Love's Magic Power.
George had been away on business
for a whole long week, and during that
time he had sent Clara ten letters, six
postal cards and 42 picture postcards.
Why, then, was there a touch of
coldness in her greeting when he flew
to her arms on his return?
“Dearest." he whispered, “what is
the matter?"
“Oh, George." she said, “you didn’t
send me a kiss in your ninth letter!”
“My precious,” he replied, "that
night I had steak and onions for din
ner, and you wouldn’t have liked a
kiss aftter onions, would you?”—Stray
Stories.
Be Not Afraid.
He has not learned the lesson of
his life who does not every day sur
mount a fear. If you have no faith
in a bene^^nt power above you, but
see only adamantine fate coiling
its folds about nature and man, then
reflect that the best use of fate is to
teach us courage. If you have no con
fidence in any foreign mind then be
brave because there is always one
good opinion which must always be
of importance to you—namely, your
own.—Ralph Waldo Emerson.
