A man
w i t li a
thin head
of hair is
a marked
man. But
the big
bald spot
is not the
kind of a mark most
men like.
Too many men in
their twenties are
bald. This is absurd
and all unnecessary.
Healthy hair shows
man’s strength. To
build up the hair from .
the roots, to prevent ^
and to

bald
ness,

It always festores
color to faded or gray
hair. Notice that
word, “always.” And
it cures dandruff.

Cha-rffes Them to Avoid Bad Com
pany, Particularly the Skeptic and
the Idler —Shan Those Who Seek
Only Pleasure.
[Copyright, 1900, by Louis Klopsch.]
Washington, March 4.—In this dis
course Dr. Talmage speaks on a theme
which all men, young and old, will lie
glad to see discussed, and the kindly
warning will no doubt In many cases
be taken; text, Proverbs xiii, 20, “A
companion of fools shall be destroyed.”
“May it please the court,” said a con
victed criminal when asked by the
Judge wbat he had to say why sentence
of death should not be pronounced up
on him, “may it please the court, bad
company has been my destruction. I
received the blessing of good parents
and In return therefor promised to
avoid all evil associates. Hud I kept
my promise I should have avoided this
shame and the burden of guilt which,
like a vulture, threatens to drag me to
Justice for my many crimes. Although
I once moved in high circles and was
entertained by distinguished men, I am
lost Bad company did the work for
me.” Only oue out of a thousand il
lustrations was that of the fact that
“a companion of fools shall be destroy
ed.” It is an Invariable rule.
Here is a hospital with a hundred
men down with the ship fever. Here
Is a healthy man who goes into I* He
does not so certainly catch the disease
as a good man will catch moral dis
temper If he consents to be shut up
with the vicious and the abandoned.
In the prisons of the olden time It was
the custom to put the prisoners in a cell
together, and I am sorry to say it Is the
custom still in some of our prisons; so
that when the day of liberation comes
the men. Instead of being reformed,
are turned out brutes, not men, each
one having learned the vices of all the
nest.
We may in our worldly occupation be
obliged to talk to and commingle with
bad people, but he who voluntarily
chooses that kind of association Is car
rying on a courtship with a Delilah
which will shear the locks of his
strength, and he will be tripped Into
perdition. Look over all the millions
of the race, and you cannot show me a
single Instance where a man voluntari
ly associated with the bad for one year
and maintained his Integrity. Sin is
catching; It is infectious; it Is epi
demic.
Evil Companion..
A young man wakes up in one of our
great cities knowing only the gentle
men of the firm into whose service he
has entered. In the morning he enters
the store, and all the clerks mark him,
measure him, discuss him. The bad
clerks of that establishment, the good
clerks of that establishment, stand In
some relation to him. The good clerks
will wish him well, but they will wait
for a formal Introduction, and even
after they have had the Introduction
they are very cautious as to whether
they shall call him Into their associa
tion before they kuow him very well.
But the bad young men In that es
tablishment all gather around him.
They patronize him, they offer to show
him everything that there is In the city
on one condition—that he will pay the
expenses, for It always happens so
when a good young man and a bad
young man go together to a place of
evil entertainment—the good young
man always has to pay the charges.
Just nt the time the ticket's to be paid
for or the champagne bill Is to be set
tled the bad young man will affect em
barrassment and feel around In his
[lockets aud say, “Well, well, really I
have forgotteu my pocketbook.”
In 48 hours after this Innocent young
man has entered the store the bad
young men will gather around him,
slap him on the shoulder with fa
miliarity, and. If lie Is stupid In not
being able to take certain allusions,
will say, “Ah, my young friend, you
will have to be broken to.* And forth
with they go to work to “break him
In.”
Oh, young man, let no fallen young
man slap you on the shoulder familiar
ly! Turn around and give a withering
glance that will make the wretch cow
er lu your presence. There is no mon
strosity of wickedness that can stand
before the glance of purity and honor.
God keeps the lightnings of heaven In
bis own scabbard, aud no human may
reach them, but God gives to every
young man a lightning which he may
use, and that is the lightning of an
honest eye. Anybody that understands
the temptations of our great cities
knows the use of one sermon like this,
in which I try to enforce the thought
that “a companion of fools shall be
destroyed.”
Aud, first, l charge you, avoid the
skeptic—that is, the youpg man who
puts his thumb In his vest and swag
gers about, scoffing at your old fash
ioned religion, then taking out the Bi
ble and turning over to some mysteri
ous passage and saying: “Explain that,
my friend, explain that. I used to
think Just as you do. My father and
mother used to think just as you do.
But you can't scare me about the fu
ture- I used to believe in those things,
but I've got over It.” Yes, he has got
over It, and you wlij get over It if you
stay lu his companionship much longer.
For awhile be may not bring one argu
ment agaiust our holy Cbrlstlauity.
He will by scoffs and jeers and carica
tures destroy your faith In that re
ligion which was the comfort of your
father lu his dedining years and the
pillow on which your old mother lay
a-dylng.
Dewar* of the Skeptic.
That brilliant young skeptic will aft
er awhile have to die, and his diamond
will flash no splendor into the eve of
death. His hair will lie uncombed on
the pillow. Death will come up, and
this skeptic will say to him: ”1 canuot
41?, 1 cannot die.” Death will say:
“You must die. You have but teu sec
onds more to llv?. Your soul—give it to
me right away. Your aoul.!” “Oh,
nor says the skeptic. “Do not breathe
that cold air Into my face. You crowd
me too hard. It is getting dark iu the
room. Here—take my rings ami take
#11 the pictures lu the room, but let me
fitf," “No,” says Dentfc. “Your soul!
Your soul'-” Then the dying skeptic
bcglus to say, “O (Jod*” Death says,
“You declared there was no God.”
Then the dylug skeptic says, “Fray for
mo,” and Death says: “It U too late to
pray; you have only three sccouds more
to Jive, nod I .will j^upLihem efirPim,
two, three. Gone!” Where? Where?
Carry him out and lay him down be
side his old father and mother, who
died under the delusions of the Chris
tian religion singing the songs of vic
tory.
Again, avoid the Idlers—that Is, those
people who gather around the store or
the shop or the factory and try to se
duce you away from your regular cu'.l-
!ng and In your business hours try to
•educe you away. There is nothing
that would please them so well as to
have you give up your employment
and consort with them.
These idlers you will find standing
around the engine houses or standing
at noonday or about noon on the steps
yf some hotel or fashionable iestau-
rant. They have not dined there. They
never dined there. They never will
dine there. Before you Invite a young
man Into your association ask him
plainly, “What do you do for a living?”
If he says, “Nothing; I am a gentle
man,” look out for him. I care not how
soft his hand or how elegant Ids ap
parel or how high sounding Ids family
name, his touch is death.
These people who have nothing to do
win come around you in your busy
hours, and they will ask you to ride
with them to Chevy Chase or to Cen
tral park, and they will tell you of
some excursion that you must make,
of some wine that you must drink, of
some beautiful da ncer that you mu.-t
see. They will try to take you away
from your regular work. Associate
with these men, and. first of ail. you
will become ashamed of your apparel;
then you will lose your piace, then you
will lone your respectability, then you
will lose your soul.
Door to Villainy.
Idleness is the next door to villainy.
When the police go to find criminals,
where do they go to find them? They
find them among the Idle-those who
have nothing to do, or, having some
thing to do, refuse to engage in ilv'r
daily work. Some one came to good
old Ashbel Green and asked him v, ity
he worked at SO years of age when it
was time fur him to rest. “Oh.” he re- |
you aw. y. '! 1. y have lost their places.
vVhy re t y. u lose your place? Then
you wi.l he oue of them. Oh, my
friends, hvf: re you go with these pleas
ure seekei s. these men whose entire
life is fun and amusement and recrea
tion, reimvlvr while after a man has
lived a life of integrity and Christian
consecration, kind to the poor and ele
vating to the world's condition, when
he comes to die iu* has a glorious rom-
inifcen e lying on his death pillow, tin*
mere plcnsurist has nothing by way i f
review but a t to playbill, a ticket for
the race, an amply tankard or the cast
out rinds of a carousal. Aud as in
delirium of h!s awful death he clutches
the goblet and presses it to his lips,
the dregs failing on his tongue will be
gin to uncoil iind hiss with the adders
of an eternal poison.
Keep Hie Snbbnfli.
Again, lx 4 rare of Sabbath breakers.
Tell me how a young man spends his
Sabbath, and I will tell you what are
his prospects in business, and 1 will
tell you what are his prospects for the
eternal world. God has thrust into our
busy life a sacred day when we are to
look after our souls. Is it exorbitant
! after giving six days to the feeding
and the clothing of these perishable
! bodies that God should demand one
day for tin* feeding and the clothing
of the immortal soul? Oar bodies are
seven day clocks, an 1 they need to be
wound up. and if they are not wound
up they run down into the grave. No
man can continuously break the Sab
bath and keep his physical and mental
; health. Ark lh< se aged men. aud they
! will tell you they never knew men who
oi.iitinnmHy broke the Sabbath who
( did not full either in m!ud. body or
| moral principle. A manufacturer gave
! this as bis experience. He raid: “I
I owned a factory on the Lehigh. Kv-
| cryfliing prospered. 1 kept the Sab
bath. and everything went on well.
I Hut one Fa',Path morning 1 bethought
; myself of a new shuttle, ami 1 thought
| 1 would invent that shuitle before sun
• set. and ! relused all food and drink
until 1 had completed that shuttle. By
plied, “1 work to keep out of mischief!”
Aud no man can afford to be che. I
care not how strong his moral charac
ter, he cannot afford to la* idle.
But you say: “A great many people
are suffering fiom enforced idleness.
During the hard times there were a
great many people out of employ
ment.” 1 kuow it, but the times of
dullness in business are the times
when men ought to be thoroughly en
gaged in improving their minds and
enlarging their hearts. The fortunes
to be made 20 years from now will be
made by the young men who in the
times when business was dull cultivat
ed their minds and Improved their
hearts. They will get the fortunes aft
er awhile, while those men who hang
around their stores, never engaging in
any useful occupation, will he as poor
then as they are now. It is absurd for
a Christian man to say he has nothing
to do.
I went into a store in Now York
where there were live Christian men.
and they said they had nothing to do.
The whole world lying in sin. I’overty
to be comforted, sickness to bo alleviat
ed, a Bible in the back office, every
opportunity of mental eulture, spir
itual culture; every inducement to
work, yet a Christian man. sworn be
fore high heaven to consecrate Ids
whole life to usefulness, lias nothing
to do! If you have not any business
for this world, my Christian friend,
then you ought to be doing business for
eternity.
People go to Florence and to Venice
aud to Rome to see oue of the works
of the great masters. 1 think I can
show you the picture of one of the
great masters. “I went by the field of
the slothful and by the vineyard of
the man void of understanding, aud, lo.
It was n!l grown over with thorns, and
nettles had covered the face thereof,
aud the stone wall thereof was broken
down. Then I saw and considered it
well. I looked upon it and received
Instruction. Yet a little sleep, a little
slumber, a little folding of the hands to
sleep. So shall thy poverty come as
one that traveleth aud thy want as an
armed man.” There is no more ex
plosive passage iu all the Bible than
that. It first begins to hiss like the
fuse of a cannon and then bursts like a
54 pounder. The old proverb was true,
“The devil tempts most men. but idlers
tempt the devil!” Therefore seek
something to do. If no worldly busi
ness offers, then, in the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ, go out on Christ inn
toil, and the Lord will bless you, and
the Lord will help you.
Avoid Plcnmirc SevLerM.
Again, 1 counsel you, avoid the pleas
ure seeker, the man whose entire busi
ness it is to seek for recreation and
amusement. I believe in the amuse
ments of the world so far as they are
innocent. I could not live without
them. Any man of sanguine tempera
ment must have recreation or die. And
yet the amusements and recreations of
life must administer to hard work.
They are only preparative for tin? occu
pation to which Jod lias called us.
God would not have given us the
capacity to laugh if he did not some
times intend us to indulge it. God
bath hung in sky and set In wave and
printed on grass many a roundelay.
But all the music and the brightness
of the natural world were merely ia-
teaded to fit us for the earnest work of
life. The thundercloud lias edges ex
quisitely purpled, hut it jars the moun
tain as it says, “I come down to v. a t er
the fields.” The flowers standing un
der the fence look gay an 1 beautiful,
but they say, “We stand here to re
fresh the husbandmen at the nooning.”
The brook frolics and sparkles aud
foams, but it says: “I go to baptize
the moss; I go to slake the thirst of Cue
bird; I turn the wheel of the inul; in
my crystal cradle 1 nick nuckshuw
aud water illy; I play, lint I work.”
Look out for the man who plays and
never works. Look out for that man
whose entire business la to play bail
or sail n yacht or engage lu any kind of
merriment. These things are nil beau
tiful and grand iu their places, but
when they become the chief work of
|lfe they become a man’s deslrm lion.
George Brummel was admired of all
England, lie danced with peei’essis
and went a round of mirth and 'oily
until after awhile, exhausted of puise,
ruined of reputation, blasted of soul,
he begged a crust from a grocer, <lo
during us his deliberate opinion that
he thought that a dog's life was belter
than a man's.
These maw pleasurlsta will come
around you while you are engaged in
mt wyi’k, juid Uiey vvilj try U t;iko
I sundown ! had oomph ted it. The next
! day, Monday, i showed to my work-
; men : ;id friends this new shuttle. '1 hey
| ali congratulated me on my great suc-
! co: s. I put that shuttle into play. I
! enlarged my business; but, sir, that
tM.nuuy’s work cost me FTl.OOO. From
; that day everything went wrong. I
! failed iu business, aud I lost my mill.”
Oh, my friends, keep the Lord's day.
You may think it oi l fogy advice*, but
I give it to you now: “itemember the
j Sabbath day. to keep it holy. Six
days shall thou labor and do all thy
| woik. but the sevinth is the Sabbath
i of the Lord thy God; in it thou shall
j not do any work.” A man said that
he would prove that all this was a
| fallacy, and so he said, “I shall raise a
t Sunday crop.” Aud he plowed the field
: on the Sabbath, and then lie put in the
, seed on the Sabbath and cultivated the
I ground on the Sabbath. When the
; harvest was ripe, he reaped it on the
! Sabbath, and he carried it into the
| mow on the Sabbath, and then lie
1 stood out defiant to ids Christian
neighbors and said, “There, that is my
• Sunday crop, and it is ail garnered.”
j Afler awhile «•’. storm came up and a
j gnat darkness, and the lightnings of
heaven stiue-k the barn, and away
went Ids Sunday crop. He ware, young
man, of all Sabbath breakers.

Again, I charge you, beware of asso
ciation with the dii. ipated. (lo with
them and ;>ou will in time adopt their
habits. Who is that man fa lieu against
the curl st no. covered with bruises
and beastliness? lie was as bright a
lad as ever looked up from your nurs
ery. IIis mother rocked him, prayed
for him, fondled him, would not let
the night air touch ids cheek and held
him up and looked down into his lov
ing eyes and wondered for what high
position lie was being fitted. He en
tered life with bright hopes. The
world beckoned him. friends cheered
him, but the archers shot at him; vile
men sot traps for him, bad habits hook
ed fast to 1dm with their iron grap
ples; ids feet slipped on the way, and
there lie lies. Who would think that
that uncombed hair was once toyed
with by a father's lingers? Would you
think that those bloated cheeks were
ever kissed by a mother’s lips? Would
yon guess that that thick tongue once
tea do a household glad with its inno
cent prattle? Utter no harsh words In
his oar. Help him up. Put the hat
over that once manly brow. Brush the
dust from that coat that once covered
a generous heart. Show him the way
to the home that once rejoiced at the
sound of liis footstep and with gentle
words tell ids children to stand back
ns you help him through the hall.
That was a kind husband once and
an indulgent lather, lie will kneel
with them no mere as cnee he did at
family prayers—-the lillie ones with
clasped hands looking up into the
heavens with thanksgiving for 111111*
happy home. But now at midnight he
will drive them from their pillows and
curse them down the steps and howl
affer them as, unclad, they fly down
the street in night garments under the
cairn starlight. Who slew that man?
Who Ida: fi d that home? Who plunged,
those children into worse than orphan
age—until tm* hands arc blue with
cold, and the cheeks are blanched with
fear, and the brow is scarred with
bruises, and the eyes arc hollow with
grief? Who i ;a le that life a wreck
and filled eternity with the uproar of a

Mr*. Xewmnu’a Statement.
A report has been widely circulated
throughout the country that the widow
of Bishop John P. Newman of the
Methodist Episcopal church lias offer
ed to give $30,000 to the First Meth
odist Episcopal church iu Omaha on
condition that the remaining $10,000
needed to free the church from debt
be raised by the people and that the
church be called the Newman Memo
rial church. In a private letter to a
friend Mrs. Newman lias authorized a
denial of the above report. She said
In part:
“I have never made any such offer.
Bishop Newman was very much inter
ested iu that church and gave at least
$1,000 toward it aud left iu his will
$1,000 which was to be paid as tin* last j
of the entire indebtedness. I promist 1
to give $100 only to the ladies, which
was all I could afford. You know.
Bishop Newman was a liberal giver
during his life, and I presume this is
why he was thought to be a rich man.
Why. if I were to give $30,000 for one
object I would have no income nt all
out of my husband’s estate, an 1 what
his Drew students will do to carry on
their studies is a problem.”

No man who buries bis talents can
live a happy life. The most unhappy
people one meets are those who have
abundance, but refuse to use it in the

for themselves and know it is wrong
and are unspeakably miserable on that
account, but cannot bring themselves
to live otherwise. The most happy
