The first duty of a man It* to
his hoiitu, to hi* wlf? and his chil

have them.

Wo believe many II v?? are wreak
ed, not as inuch^hy the storms of
life, iih by drifting with the tide
uud striking these rocks and com
ing in contact with the hidden sins
and danger** along the shore. Push
out on the deep water, head your

indolent people drift with t lie tide.

In the family relation everyone
nhould always be at hit* bent. The
home ought to he a heaven. It
v<iight to be ?as nearly heaven an 1h
possible on earth. . There should
bo no purposely withered flower#
about the hearthstone and no pur
posely clouded sunbeams. Selfish
ness alone ought to be (sufficient to
make home conduct exemplary. Cer
tainly all want a pleasant home.
Certainly all want unities Instead
of frowns. ,, ,
? ' ? f
Do not alfc. and. ponder over trou
ble; you cannot dispel It by malt
ing yourself miserable. Never look
Into the future with despair; you
cannot cross a bridge until you
<01110 to it. IJon't harrow your
'.iilnd over things that cannot be
helped. Livd" confiding in the pru
nujit. The past cannot now* be rem
edied, and you have yet to try the
future.
Half the marriages In the world
<ire nothing but bubbles and barter.
A man wants a wife. llo casts
"bout for an oven exchange. In a
year ho is tired of his bargain. In
five years lovo Is dead, and cold
browed tolerance Inherits love's gar
anents. In twenty years tolerance
is at its grave and hate reigns su
preme. The wife is uaggy and
prickly and peckish. The husband
is dogmatical and reticent and
mean. But there thoy hang togeth
er on the boUgh, like two gnarled
and frosted apples, until the winds
of death dislodge them and away
they go. Tho only way to be rid
of bubble, , marriage ? marriages
that turn out ompfiiiPSB with one
drop of water as tho resldum, and
thai drop a tea/ ? Is to educate our
boys and girls to something hlghor
thnn playing v/ith pipes and soapy
water. Qive them something nioro
turnout to do and aee that they do
It. Compel man and women to
choose their life companions with
at least a tithe of the solemuHy
they bring to the selection of a
Carriage horset or a ribbon.

Laughter Is, day and sobriety 1m
bight, uud a smile Is the. twilight
that hovers gently between both,
uud more bewitching than cither,
e ? ?
Many a child goes astray, not be
cause there Is a want of prayer or
virtue at home, but simply because
home laclfs sunnhlne. A child needtt
smiles as much as floweru needs
sunbeams.
\ homestead without h palf of
old folks-^'Tlme's doting tihrouU*
clou" - seated contentedly In the
chimney corner, would hardly he a
homestead at all. If they are In
tho picture, it Is complete. There
you may find them, day In and
day out, In all sorts of weather ? -
steadfast to their places and to one
another. When the eaves drip, in
the middle of the winter forenoons,
,the old man with head of silver
abandoned his post and newspaper
to .make the accustomed touif of
the kitchen offices, tho shed, or the
barn, lingering by the way to throw
down a handful of grain ?for the
pinched poultry. With what min
uteneHH he Is cautioned by grand
mother not to. go out insufficiently
clad, and with what a single-heart
<d Joy she welcomes him when he
comes to her again.
- ? ? ?
Parents, through lack of recog
nition of tho individuality of chll
dm, oftn try to force their minds
uh a burglar opens a safe, using
the jimmy of parental command or
tho dynamite of punishment. It Is
so much easier, so much more nat
ural, so much more effective, to
find tlie combination of the safe,
? the individuality of the child that
Is tho key to Its mental and moral
1
procepses .and peculiarities! Then
1he .mind opens to truth .naturally,
hlmply, automatically: A hud . does
not become a flower by irreverent
flugerB forcing Its delicate petals
apart; it requires merely self reve
lation, self development through
solf activity, natural unfolding, nor
rial growth in harmony with its en
vironment. ?. . t
? ? ?
We know from sad experience it
I* very Inconvenient to be. poor, but
no man in poor who bu a happy
bow* and - It does not require lace
curtain* or velvet carpeta to make
a home happy. ' ?/
? ? e
The mother who radiates peace,
radiates strength also. The reet>
letntnoes the noise, the rush of the
life of today, make It all the more
necesnary to maintain within the
home an atmosphere of serenity and
sweetness so that, the threshold
once crossed, the outslda nolae and
clatter and strife are . left securely
behind. This In, perhaps, an old
fashioned conception of home.
If ope desires to Improve in man
ners be can never do so except by
mingling witb the refined and good.
Diffidence often keeps back those
who have in early life but few so
cial advantages. The only way to
overcome this painful difficulty is
to plunge In. It Is one of tbe
moot easily cured of all maladies,
A bath In the bracing ocean of so
cial life will enable a person to
keep his footing bravely.
OUT MOHB MONEY.
Are you satisfied that your pres
ent position is equal to your, ability,
or do you think you are capable of
something bigger? Many a man
hang* on to a small position when
a little training of the right sort
would show him Just how t^> make
the change to more money and
brighter prospects. Tbe first step
toward getting better equipped and
a better position is to write for a
catalogue of Draughon's Practical
Business College, at Columbia or
Greenville, 8. C., or Augusta, Qa.,

Make Better Paper*. , <
In the quit* recent past a nuin
aer of the oouuty newspapers,
which Issued weekly or seml'week
W, have Installed higher grade ma
chinery and larger type stock* ?
better facilities enabling them to
?et about the- inaug uratlon of desir
able Improvements. Lack of enjoy
went of certain practical devices
has retarded tl^e , prpuj-opu of some
of thee* paper*, the publishers? of
which apply intelligence and enter
prise to .their efforts at bringing
satisfaction to their readers. Sev
eral of the papers. It is only fair
to remark, have been getting out
excellent' issues, being located In
the more densely populated sections
where the, field Is also more fertile
through (he higher standards of
education than obtained In some
other sections.
Since.', they have equipped their
ahOPs with time and labor aaving
machines,, these papers have com
menced , to discard the stereotyped
"plate-matter," which does , not car
ry enough of the home flavor and
has other serious faults which are
difficult of correction, .although it
Ebuut be* confessed that they have
served , 'worthy purposes in their
day. Tfee space occupied in the
past by this matter of relatively
small Interest and importance is
being given over to products of the
editors and their assistants, there,
being an increasing quantity of de
sirable \ matter where previously
nearly' all Individuality Vas effect
ually obscured, the same news be
ing served to ~a- large number.
? These evidences of enterprise and
of laudable deslrte to furnish a su
perior article strongly Indicate that
the newspapers are securing a
stronger purchase In their tenrlto
vy and that th&tr subscribers are
calling for helpful changes of the
jystem.
' The educative value of the news
paper la great and it Is an encour
aging; Bign and a promise o t gen
uine betterment that argurs well
?for the commonwealth when the
qualify of the county press is im
proved. In this really helpful
change, the general government has
c6ntributed itB share, in the exten
sion of the rural free delivery sys
tftra and In other ways of yielding
.better' mall facilities for the resl
-of the country districts. Pro
B?esi^ of the press, as exhibited in
riiore assiduous cultivation pf the
home .'field with attendant exploita
t&>n?df resources and produots and
In effort to serve more lnfor
P'/atlon of. an Improving nature, is
'?? true index to the progress of the
"jfeople. i? . very agreeable to
chronicle these helpful things.

This atory Is. blamed on Scamp

I'm in a hurry. Give me a halrout
and a shave, and do it Quiok."
"How long have you been In?"
"Pour years,' said the former pri
soner. "Hurry!"
"How did you like it?"
"Pretty good. Hurry 1"
"Have to work hard?"
"Never Mind. Hurry I"
"Four years," said the barber ?
pausing to look romantically out
of the window. "And me at liber

stayln' up all night if I wanted to
and running downtown to take in
