oooooooooooooo o o o Uncle Dave'* Letter o 0 o oooooooooooooo Roux* say thut swearing la only a habit. Perhapk it is .but it h; a very bad habit and one that every person B' il<l break away from. Home try to J?., tlfy themselves on the ground of iie.d-r.itiou. hut a moderate swearer] is like a moderate drinker-be set? a bad example to others. We read in I Cod's holy book, that "No man liveth | unto himself, and no mau dleth unto himself; therefore we are brothers and we are our brothers' keepers 1 knew a father whose little son came running along with other boys using profane language and the father rushed up to bim and punished him severely, at the same time swearing if he ever heard him use BUCh lan guage again he would give him an even greater * punishment. Why. the little fellow could not be blamed, he wa? only following his father's exam ple, and If a father swears he has no right to blame his little boy for swear, lng: if he drinks he has no right to blame his little boy for drinking, and if he ls evil Bnd Blnful he ha? no right to blum-! his little hoy for doing what hr; himself, is doing. The father Should not complain since the little fr'J- . .'nr.ing In tho foot step.- ' ' i.... own father. 1 heard of ri father v/hn ?vi walking through deep snow nnd he heard a voice behind him saying: Father, I am walking In your footsteps. I will soon catch up. Fathers and mothera, do not any anything or do anything or go anywhere that you would be ashamed of vour children following In your footsteps! Some of us 'are so selfish In this respect we \ do 'not seem to think that lt matters as long as we ourselves are having a goOd time. History tells us of a coun try where nearly everybody swore. Her statesmen swore while making the laws of the nation, tbe lawyer Bwore while pleading his client's case in the courts, the Judge while he was pronouncing sentence upon the crim inal?! swore, tho employe- swore at tho tjmr'oye and tho employe answer ed bael with the same clnss of adjec tlvea. The church member* wore not very much better than some other olassea, either. They went to church in the morning and partook of the holy communion, and on the wav home, at the least provocation, thev would swear, and it ls even said tua' thc clergy swore als?. Now. this war an awful condition of affairs in sn ciety, in the state and in the commu nity, and no onP paid much attention to it,bu a in a certain collage there wa? a few clean young men, encourager1 by God-fearing and Cod.honored mothers and they began to go out an.-: started a campaign for clean speech andr clean living, aud in a few years the vccabt.lary of the nation wa? s changed, a new song was in their mouths ?nd they were praising the name or the Lord with clean heart9 pure minds a::? ?.lean speech. Durlnr tho great .Welsh revival a few year ago, for many months you could no' hear a profano word on the public streets In Wales. Everybody was talk ing about the great revival. Everybody seemed to bo interested in that which waa interesting thousands of miners The miners were a godless kind of v men. They were very profane in al' their speech and lt ls said that wher tbe {Treat light of God shone Into thel h.-arts and when twenty thousand of those men came up to the difieren? churches in Wales and asked for ad mission, all Wales was , stirred ar. never before. It Is said that even thc. horsta, were terribly puszled becausr the. map no longer drove them by oh scenity and kicks. They bcd not ve* learned the new vocabulary. Johr Bunyan* was so profane that when be began to swear his companions Blun dered, hut wben Bunyan found "The Christ he lost the swearing habit and became an immortal dreamer. When a man becomes thoroughly converted he quits swearing and cursing. He soon learns that profanity and pure speech do not go together well. When thc Ix>rd God gave to Moses the Ten Commandments. one Of them was Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord, thy God. in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless Gilt taketh Hie name in vain. When men learn to know God they will only speak Hi? name with reverence In tht> spirit of true worship. The Ton Command ments are a revelation of God Himself, ot His character. Ills will, and His relation tn mankind. He claimed au thority in the earliest times, and He siUl claims authority. God nays, "Ye shall not swear by My name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the. name ot the I-ord. thy God." Again, the Word spoke by the prophet Jeremiah, saying. "Because of swearing thc land mourneth." All through the scrip, turaa we are commanded not to blas pheme the name of tbe Lord. We learn from James that even profess ing Chi ??t?ar,3 get ?ute t?;,, habit cf profanity. He says. Out of the same mouth* prcceedeth blessing and curs ing. My brothers, these things ought not to be. When our thoughts ar? clean, our lives will moat certainly be-eleen. You say w-> are in a free country. You stand at the postoffice when the people are going in and out \dth their moil and you begin to vUHr ?n?

Tho church: and lat.- today ar<r united In the work of; building character uno everywhere people nre asking, "(liv,. Us men of: . iran speech.' The man of unclean lips today isl called a "vulgar man," and there tal no pla.-, for such a man in society. | Every ?loor of culture IH shut In the face of the man, who aaya. "I will do an I please." If he does, lie must pay an awful price; he will have to forfeit good society, and will have to forfeit his companions that are elevating in themselves and uplifting, because sin li will not be tolerated. Not).lng is moro offensive to the cultivated ear thnn th<> c(. r e profanity that is heard about the street. A true gentle man never swears, lie knows that lt ls Impolite, vulgar and coarne to do so. "Swear not nt all." First, because it la the command of the Lord God. SOcond, .if we curse and swear, we are breaking the lawa of our stale. Third, society demands that we shall have a clean speech. And I am there. fore plainly neither a Christian, n good citizen, nor a gentleman if I swear. Swear not at alli UNCLK HAVE. BOSTON BRAVES ANNEX ANOTHER!

BL INDIAN RUNNER DUCKS GOOD EGG LAYERS Those who have raised other breeds of ducks with good success sometimes fall utterly with iudiuu Ummers and complain of their being delicate, writes a correspondent of the Kural New Yorker. If a few rules are followed there is no trouble lu raising a large per cent of the hutches. Of course lt begins witb thc breeding stock. Select vigorous mature birds uud mate those not akin, five ducks to one drake, and not too large a flock, so every one bas a good chance- at tho feed and water. Let water be clean and shells kept be fore them always. Cracked corn ifl good for n night feed, especially In cold weather, but the mu in feed should be masb. never sloppy, but just to the Indian runner ducks are not mar ket birds. They are called tho Leg horn of the Suck family and are well worth raisins for egg produc tion. However, they muke fino meat and are much preferred by many to the larger breeds. A swimming pond is not necessary for them, but a bnth once in awhile greatly Im proves their appearance and ts much enjoyed. <r crumbly state and consisting of equal parts wheat bran and cornmeal, one fourth the bulk alfalfa meal. one-Uftb beef scrap and i per cent oil m ea I. Confino them In a house or small yard at night, anti do not let them go before 10 n. m.. when all eggs will be laid uud can be gathered, washed and put in the cellar. Duck eggs spoil very quickly and must be kept cool. If to be used for batching turu every day. and do not keep them over a week if a good hatch is expected. Indian Run ners are excellent layers. If feil for ll they will begin ut four .-iud oue?iunlf months old mid lay steadily a good lia rt of the year. Thc eggs bring us much us or more than fancy white hens' eggs In the etty market. Duck eggs require much moisture during incubation. If placed under a hen dip lu warm water every fourth day and the twenty-eighth day wet nest thoroughly. If lu Incubator sprinkle with warm water every other day. Ducklings pip the shell and then lie Idle twenty-four hours or longer be fore coming out. When taken from the Incubator place in n warm brooder or In a covered box in n warm room and never let them chill. If batched with a hen do not let her rntse them; she will kill more than she saves. The first feed, given four or five times a day, is equal parts dry bread and ont flake moistened with wann water. After three days omit bread and substitute equ.il parts "ran and cornmeal. After three days ?nor?? give tho same feed ns to laying ducks, ex cept that 1 per cor' srlt is added. Warm water is given ?.-Ith each feed ta very shallow dishes. Hot sun. vslnd and wet are fatal.
