More Tban the Son of His Father. The New York Kvening Journal had one of its pious pell the other day and preached a sermon "Just a Good Fellow." Here are the concluding paragraphs of this sermon : "This man was 'just a good fellow,' and he drank himself into his grave and broke his mother's heart. "He was 'just a good fellow,' but he disgraced the honorable name his father had left him. "He was 'just a good fellow,' but he threw away splendid chances to be be of use in the world and to do his duty. "He was 'just a good fellow,' but he ppent an enormous fortune in making other men as drunken and worthless as himself, and ruining lives of unfortunate women. "He was 'just a good fellow,' but knowing himself to be a worthless
drunkard, be married a respectable
girl, the friend of his childhood, broke her heart and drove her to de- . i
8 pair.
"He was 'just a good leiiow, m:t
the result of his father's life of in
dustry was wasted on the lowest
lass of men and women. Me never
did an honest day's work, never deserved in any way the food, fresh
air and the merciful kindness that permitted him to live thirty-six
years.
" 'Just a good lellow the term
might better be applied to a copper
head snake, which at least does the;
best that he can and acts as well as
the son of a snake c mid reasonably be expected to act."
About a week before the above
sermon was printed the same Jour
nal came out in an editorial really
glorifying grog, and declaring that
no great men bad ever been teetotalers. Without doubt the Journal's
tale of woe is horribly true, and
could be told with equal pointed
neaa about a whole lot of men over
and under 36 years of age, in this
broad land.
In commenting upon the Joui-
nal's little sermon, The Defender,
among other things, says :
"The inclined plane on which he
slid to infamy was set up and
greased by the commonwealth. To
be sure he ought to have kept off
the sliding scale. But he was
vounir. and foolish and gidly. He
had neither been adequately fore
warned nor forearmed. There was
evil enough in the world to combat
without this protected highway to
iniquity which he saw doing bust
ness as a legaiuea inorougniare, and bearing the state's approval, and placed there by the elders and his betters. May it not be tiuethat
this "good fellow" was as true to
the propensity which he inherited and the opportunity which the state provided for him, as the copperhead was to bis ancestry.
"We believe that the tune has
gone by when the men who help put down the universal groggy highway,
;an hold themselves guiltless when
they see the sons of their neighbors travel the road they really mapped out and approved. Let us have
less condemations of drink s pro
duot, and more effort to remove the causes of offending in this particu
lar."

BOAZ ASLEEP,
At work within his barn since very early, Fairly tired out with toiling all the day, Upon thu small lied where he always lay Hon was sleeping by hit sacks of barley. Hurley and wheat fields he possessed, and well, Though rich, loved justice; wherefore all the Hood That turned his mill-wheels was unstained with mud, And in bis smithy blazed no (ire of hell. His beard was silver, as in April all A stream may be ; he did not grudge a stook, When the poor gleaner passed, with kindly look Quoth he, "Of purpr.se let some handfulls fall." He walked his way of life straight on and plain, With justice clothed, like linen white and clean, And ever rus.ling. Toward the poor, I ween, Like public fountains ran his sacks of grain. Good master, faithful friend, in his estate Fiugal yet generous, beyond the youth He von regard of woman, for in sooth The young man may be fair; the old man's great. Life's primal source, unchangeable and bright, The old man entereth, the day eterne; And in the young man's eye a flame may burn, But in the old man's eye one seeth light. As Jacob slept, or Judith, so full deep Slept Boaz 'neath the leaves. Now it betided, Heaven's gate being partly open, that there glided A fair dream forth, and hovered o'er his sleep. And in his dream to heaven, the blue and broad, Right from his loins an oak tree grew amain. Hi race ran up it far, like a long chain; Below it Hung a king, above it died a God. Whereupon Bo;.r. murmured in his heart, "The number of my years is past fourscore: How may this be? I have not any more Or son, or wife; yea, she who had her part, "In this my couch, 0 Lord, is now in thine; And she, half living, I half dead within, Our beings still commingle and are twin. It cannot be that I should found a line! "Youth hath triumphal mornings; its days bound From night, as from a victory. But such A trembling as the birch-tree'e to the touch Of winter is an eld, and evening closes round. "I bow myself to death, as kine to meet The water bow their fronts athirst," he said. The cedar feeleth not tke rose's head, Nor he the woman's presence at his feet. For while he slept, the Moabitesa Ruth Lay at his feet expectant ot his waking. He knowing not what sweet guile she was making; She knowing not what God would have, in sooth. Asphodel scents did Gilgal breezes bring; Through nuptial shadows, questionless, full fast The angels sped, for momently there passed A something blue which seetr.ed to le a wing. Silent was all in Jezreel and Ur; The stars were glittering in the heaven's dusk meadows, Far west among those flowers of the shadows, The thin clear crescent lustrous over her, Made Ruth raise question, looking through the bars Of heaven, with eyes half optd, what God, what comer Unto the harvest of the eternal summer, Had Hung his golden hook down on the field of stars. VlCTON Htao.
Vsaiabiaf Bird Race. It is reported that the flamingo, the pink curlew, and the egra, together with several other species of heauti'ul and valuable birds, are vanishing so rapidly that within a
few yearn they will be practically extinct. The warfare on these birds has been waged most vigorously, of course, in civilized countries. The savage, with his rude weapons and his indolente, can not possibly do as much damage as the
civilized man with his shot gun and
and untiring pursuit, not only of the birds but of the dollar. For som reason or other the human race is much addicted to that unprofitable habit known as "shut
ting the stable door after the horse is gone." It would have been a
comparatively easy matter to check
the destruction of these buds some
years ago ; it would be possible even
now to rescue them from extermi
nation by taking a little care ; but instead of that, the hunters will probably be allowed to continue their ravages until any bird more attractive than the English sparrow
has become a mere tradition. There are some lessons which can be learned from experience, but the unfortunate thing is that the experiance does not always happen twice. If a man has climbed up a place where he ought not to be, and fallen and broken his back, the lesson is cot of much value to him, because he will never climb anywhere again. After these birds have been exterminated and their habitat rendered unfit for restocking, it will not be of much use to moralize over the ruthlessness and rapacity which caused their destruction. The measures which ought to be
taken will vary in different places. In some parts of the country it would be enough, perhaps, to impose a small penalty on hunters caught shooting birds out of season. In other casts it might be necessary to forbid the shooting of certain species of birds at all. In places where valuable birds have become
extremely scarce it might be well to follow some system of breeding and artificial protection. This would employ the native hunters who are now among the birds' most dangerous enemies, and would instill in
them a different idea of the value of the birds from that which they now have. In fact, many of these men are simply and solely pot-hunters. They shoot birds and animals, not for sjkjrt, but because they must make a living. If they could be paid for takiutf care of the wild creatures instead of for shooting them they would, in many case, much prefer that employment.
"Don't forswear the Eves, but remember Adam wasn't happy alone even in Paradise, so find a little better half by-and-by, and through the power of a genuine woman's love regain and keep your Eden green through a long and happy life." Louisa M. Alcott, in the Ladies' Home Journal for Sept. The social liberties of the American child are one of the evils of this country. Children's dances and children's parties, once given in the afternoon, have intruded into the evening, and are sending thousands of our children to their beds in a state of excitement which means no good for their future. It stands to reason that no child can, with his or her unformed strength, burn the candle at both ends. September Ladies' Home Journal.

About the only time a woman ever overlooks a bargain is when she selects a husband. When a man starts out to get even with anybody he is never satisfied until be comes out ahead The fool hen chuckles joyously over the egg that is destined to fur nished someone else with an omelet. A man may be able t mind his his own business, hut it takes a woman to mind her own and her neighbor's at the same time. Many a woman who doesn't object to cigar smoke before marriage draws the line at a pipe after the I honeymoon is on the wane.

Philosophy of Slmoa Frost. When a feller's got the dispetcy the things thet he wants to eat 're most always them thet's the wust fer him. When a feller ain't got nothin' else to do he kin gen'rally find time to make a fool uv hisself. A feller ain't never licked when he's fought the best he knows how. A fellow without a conscience is like a ship without a rudder. There's some folks thet 're like the tail uv a kite; they seem to know how to keep things steady. The more a fellow knows the less he tells other people about it, gen'rally. After some feller invents a new way o' doin' sornethin' there's a lot o' folks thet wonder why they didn't do it. i

THE WARNERS. An American story of to-day. By Gertrude Potter Daniels. Jamieson-HigginB Co., Chicago, publishers. Price $1.00. This is an anti-trust story, and it is well written, too. It is a plain story of our American life life under the incubus of commercialism and the tyranny of the monopolies. Cyrus Warner, the hero of the story, is a conscientious and frugal factory hand, of untiring industry and perseverance, an industry and frugality greatly stimulated by his growing and yet apparently hopeless attachment for Betty Martin, the factory stenographer, whose reciprocal interest in himself amazai him, when after a long courtship he declares himself as her lover and is astonished to find himself accepted. All goes well. Cyrus is promoted, and the devout couple are happily married and for a wedding tour go to a distant part of the state, where their little savings are invested in a small oil property, which gives promise of making them comfortable. Life glides by and they are contented and happy. A little daughter is born and grows to womanhood. They continue to prosper unti an oil magnate named Fellows, failing to buy the property at his own price, "corners" the product and forces the little family to leturn to the city penniless, but not until Betty, Jr., has come for a few brief moments in contact with the vile atmosphere of the magnate's son, Teddy. Teddy watches his opportunity and is ready for it, and when the distress of the family is so dire that Betty is left at home while her parents toil for bread, persuades the unsophisticated girl to fly with him to a safe retreat, where her ruin and misery in due time are completed. Cyrus provides as best as be can for his broken-hearted wife, goes forth into the world in search of a new fortune, and after a long time through incredible hardships, returns with the joyful news that he is the sole owner of a great iron mine and that their financial troubles are over. Poor Betty, his wife, is in a dying condition, and while he is trying to comfort her a specter (teals into their presence and falls at their feet, pronouncing the word "mother." It is their child, Betty, Jr. Teddy has brought his long course of brutality to an awful climax, and after beating her well nigh unto peath would turn her adrift. But in some unaccountable way, in her desperation, the girl slays hex betrayer and dies to her mother, where in a few hours she passes on over the dark river that we call Death, moaning as she goes, those who know the sorrows of the poor and crushed laborers in this country need not be told that the name of The Warners ia legion, for they are many. There is no doubt that tin. Daniels has written a sane and rational exposition of the evils of the trusts. Poverty in its ugliest but true phases, wrong, discontent, greed, degeneration and misery are depicted well. The finale is a decidedly artblic finish to a straightforward well constructed book. It leaves the question of capital and labor in the reader's bands and in the reader's conscience. Richard M. If ilburn. Jasper, Indiana, Sept. 3, 1901.
