for a clever symbolical perform
ance of "Buryiug the hammer"
A mammoth hammer was pu
into the ground, as a symbol o
the spirit of dissension an<
criticism that had interfere!
with the progress of the town.
Tins ill 1j performance has ;
suggestion worthy of atlentioi
right in our own community.
Toe faculty of criticism is to>
easy. It is one much affected L?.
men of mediocre character,
man lacking the slightest con
structive ability often make
very just criticisms. It takes i
Shakespeare to write a grea
play, but a cub reporter migh
go to see the thing and find sour
jo p 1 ;! iirs that the greatest o
dram 115-sts failed to discover
Usually this spirit of criticisn
is a more dead weight on t.!i<
commnuity. It dishearten
t!:'i^ who have the power o
lead- rsliip, and it fails t> substi

faults complained of. If som

is in the main good, but has

LEARN A TRADE.
* The value of -learning a trade
* becomes more and more appar
. ent every day. Scarcely a dav
" passes but some young mau is
r asking us to point out a field ol
*' labor to him. With good attainr
ment, perhaps, or an insatiadle
8 desire to be at work at something
whereby an honest penny
| may be turned, he finds himsell
landed as if j* a* the first
; ebb of the t <. i: e '.;htest
recession of me wu-tra deposits
him on the shore among the
weeds of idleness, and unwholesome
vapors becloud his mind.
There is scarcely a man in business
but has an experience liue
V our own; his young friends continually
envying him the privi
j lege of working in a well-defined
1 field, and wishing that, like him,
1 they had something to strick
] at.
Thn?so vnniitr men arc <rcnct\-il
| ly afflicted vviili the disease of
^ l ambition. They want to he
1 something1 more than common,
and mistaking often their d-'sh*.
n es for the ability to satisfy them,
^ they flatter themselves that the.v
^ are fit for something hotter than
' the common run of humanity.
s Tueir g.eat fault is in trying to
a achieve manhood without servt
ing an apprenticeship to it. and
* they find themselves, when they
n should be prepared lor their life
1 work, wondering what will be,
and Ire ling because it does n< t
1 declared i'self. and n nine cases
'' out of ten wa'.ing iu vain for
* such a call, go into politics, agen*
cies, etc.

LOCAL PATRIOTISM.
It is singular how so many peo- ]
pie will yell themselves hoarse '
rooting for the home ball team,
who wouid not give a dollar to es '
r.ahlish a new industry here, nor
would they bother to suggest to (
friends contemplating a removal
that this would be a good town to
live in.
The intense partisanship manifested
in any athletic sports in
behalf of the home plasers indicates
a large sentiment of home ,
loyalty. It is an unselfish senti- (
ment, excellent so far as it goes.
The men on the bleachers do not
get a nickel addition to their
wages because home boys win.
Of course in* some case the
cheering men may have money
on the game. Yet our observa'
* - *- lis f A/\ Tf? / \ r
lion IS UlHb bOC UCHUl 13 iuu .T.n-1
l ied to ^heer. It is the man who '
wants the home team to win from
simple home loyalty that makes
the noise.
Why is it that this most com- j
mendable sentiment is so abounding
under such circumstances, <
and so lacking when . there is >
still more vital need for its expression?
The cities that have grown pop
ulous, powerful, wealthy, thit
have become great centers of
industrial life and cherished locations
for residence, have become
so because some small <
group of men loved the soil of 1
those localities, longed to have i
them true to high ideals, had
faith in their future, had the self
sacrifice to keep pulling all the
time for business and civic ad- '
vance. And they had no time or
breath to spend in mere criticism.
1
The mainspring of this action
is a home patriotism differing
only from that of the crowd at :
the ball game, in havins a bigger
field for its expression.
We may not all of us do big
things for this city. Not all of I
us can be presidents of boards of 1
trade or land new industries.
; But if everyone of us took every 1
possible occasion to say ti.at this
is a mighty good place to live i
i and do hosiers?iw, a wide !
spreading circle of home patriot- '
.ism wonld be let loose the final i
i reach of which would be incalcul- 1
! able. <
' Every old Confederate soldier 1
who attended the Che raw demonstration,

A Bit of Money and a Motor Car.
Young Beattio, who killed his
wife, has given out an interview
in which he says that the reason
he was couvicted was because he
didn.t have "an up-to-date jury."
"I'll tell you, old boy," he is
quoted as saying, "a fellow's up agaiust
it when lie is to be tried
b^a bunch of countrymen from
the backwOods li>te those that
tried me. I never had a chance
from the beginning. They get
married young, bring up big
families, work around their
farms. What do they know
about a city or a city's life? What
do they know about how easy it
is for a young fellow nowadays
to get mixed up with a girl like
Beulah Binford? In a city?you
newspaper men from the North
all know this?it is almost itnpossiele
for a chap with a little
bit of money rud a motor car to
avoid getting mixed up with!
those women. He can't help it." 1
Thirteen-3rear old girls are-probably
not so dangerous as Mr.
Beattie would make it appear,
rnd the good men and true whom
he thus criticises are to be congratulated
that they are the sort
of men Mr. Beattie pictures
them to be. But Mr. Beattie is
quite correct when he suggests ^
that the parent who turns loose
in a city a boy in his teens with
at,bit of money in his-pocljet and
a. motor car at his disposal,
might as well consign him to the
aevil and be done with it. If he
doesn' land there in the end it
will be a miracle.?The News

Wain Against Continuing Dry.
Portland, Me., Sept.?A revision
of the retu rus of the vote cast
in the special election yesterday
on the question of taking prohibition
out of the State constitution
shows, with only fourteen small
towns missing, a majority of 763
against constitutional prohibi- ^
tion. The vote follows:
For repeal 60,721; against re
peal,
Inquisitive Tommy.
An Infirm old gentleman was visiting
Tommy's family, and Tommy unfortunately
had heard mention ot one
of the guest's peculiarities. Planting
himself directly in front of his unhappy
?!der he sweetly inquired. "Wh'ch
is your glass eye. Mr. Plankton? Tho
onp that moves, or th>/ one that stands .
