LOVE 6f FIGHTING. It Seesn» to Be Inborn In the Average Human Being. We are all fond of fighting—that Is. we all love to look nt a fight, and some of us like to be in a tight. But we all love to see one. There are some super- j >■’. !:; • •r .’ 1 hum ins of both sexes .who think tfiey do not like i to see a fight. Some of them actually 1 believe they are sincere. But <1? p down in the average man and w .n , the hve of tight exis.s. it is ingrained: 11 Is congenital: it is in the human baby. When he screams, s ,ualls and kicks if bis will is thwarted, he is fighting. So with the same bany when, grown up into a boy. he pulls his little sister's hair. It is partly, perhaps, the love of fighting and partly, perhaps, the love of giving pain, tor cruelty also seems to be part of the makeup of the human animal After little brother lias finished pulling little sister's hair and she has dried her eyes she soothes her wounds d feelings by pulling off flies’ wings or legs or pinching the cat's tail under a rocking chair. Os the higher flights of juvenile cruelty to which her brother rises when he ties two cats together by their tails over a clothesline, where they tight till nothing is left but their tail tips—of these familiar facts we w ill not speak. When brother goes to school and then to college, wli -tiler it be to the English “public” school or to the American “public" school, resembling each other only in name; to the academy, to the j preparatory school, to the university, he speedily becomes past master in cruelty. In most of these institutions he must fight. Hazing exists in every co 1 - lege in the country. Even the United States government cannot stamp it out I at West Point and Annapolis In both these institutions fist fights under prize ring rules are of almost daily occurrence. They are masterful battles, and they have not a little to do with making stout hearted, stalwart fighters of our army and navy officers. To those | who object to these battles the unan- I swerable reply is that the boys are ’ there to learn to fight and that the way . to learn to fight is to fight.—Sau Fran- , cisco Argonaut. WAYSIDE WISDOM. Opportunity is the cream of time. Self conquest is the greatest of vic- . tories. The more you say the less people remember. A mother's tears are the same in all languages. Good breeding Is a letter of cr ,-dlt all over the world. It is more profitable to read one man , than ten books. A man cannot go where temptation cannot find him. People ruled by the mood of gloom attract to them gloomy things. A fault which humbles a man Is of more use to him than a good action which puffs him up with pride. In the "conduct of life habit counts for more than maxim because habit is a living maxim und becomes flesh and instinct—Detroit News-Tribune. The **C»ar" Went to Bed. A foreign nobleman who, if report •peaks true, is somewhat henpecked invited some men a night or two ago to play cards in his bouse. The meeting was a convivial one, and all went “merry as a marriage bell." It grew late, and fears were expressed by the party that they were trespassing upon the kindness of the mistress of the house, who, by the way. was not pres ent. “Not at all, gentiemen; not at all. Play as long as you phase. I am czar here,” said the master of the mansion. “Yes. gentlemen, play as long as you please.” said a silvery voice, and all rose Immediately as the baroness stood before them. “But as it is after 1 o'clock the czar is going to bed." He went. Wanted u Sure Thinir. An English professor of mineralogy tells a good story about a certain big English commercial magnate. He snys that the great merchant in question came to him to consult alrout the instruction of the hopeful son and heir who was some day to run the vast business interests from which “the pater" had made his wealth. “But mind you,” said he, “I don't want him to learn about strata or dips or faults ur upheavals or denudations, and I don't want him to fill his mind with fossils or stuff about crystal!. What I want him to learn is bow to find gold arltl silver and copper In paying quantities, sir—in paying quantities.” A Bishop's Beliaks. Bishop Dudley of Kentucky could administer a rebuke delicately, but on occasions he took care to see that the folnt was plain. One of the wealthiest members of his church ns well as one of the closest told him be was going •broad. “1 have never been on the ocean," he said to the bishop, "and I would like to know something that will keep me from getting seasick.” “You might swallow a nickel," respondedethe bishop. "You'll never give that up.” Hl" Unenviable Flight. "So Smuthers finds himself Between the devil and the deep sea, does he?" "Well, it amounts to the same thing He's between an empty furnace and an anpald coal bill.”—Cincinnati TimesStar. A Case of Rs peat. Tess -1 permitted hlir. to kiss me on condition that he wouldn’t mention It to any one. Jess—And did be? TessWell er—be repeated it the very next minute.—l'hlladelphla Press.
