eventually prove his ruin unless he calls a halt before the eleventh hour.

His accounts are thrown into confusion. He places himself under petty obligations and thereby forces himself to lend even more liberally and thoughtlessly borrows. And

gradually he develops a financial ir

responsibility. He goes from small loans to large, until, like great-hearted Timon of Athens, he loses his money and his friends at the same time; so that when he in turn sends out to borrow he finds his credit

gone. In an age of commerce and in a

BLUE BLOOD. Evolution is a great thing.

It is nobler to be descended from

a baboon than to be one, and the

only disgrace is for the offspring of a real man to be called Myrtle and

deserve it.

to blue blood, not meaning it as a

him and summoning the sanitary

green-colored booze and violet t&'.cum for males came from a great grandfather who weighed two nun dred pounds and ate cabbage.

The only sort of man who has the right to get chesty about his blue

has some brains, muscles, or money

that he got himself.

THEY DESERVE PATRONAGE. "Newspapers that are under obligations to any party can not be free. Newspapers ought not to be & part of an administration; their editors should not hold ottlse or seek it; 'the. courage, independence, power and honesty of a newspaper fly out the window when it begins to ask political favors. These are all self-evident propositions; they . are of universal application; they are known In Indiana as well as in Pennsylvania, and the Indiana editors who indecently offered in effect to sell their freedom for a mess of political pottage know as well as any one that they have degraded themselves.

THE DIVINITY OF THE COMMON LIFE.

1 There are various kinds of snobbery, but one of the worst Is that which af

fects to despise common things.

Abraham Lincola, who bad not a

bred of the snob in his makeup. onc said. "Tbe Lord must love the com

mon people; be made so many of them." On its face that appears a witticism. Look deeper and you may see In It a profound philosophy. That which is most common Is most universal, and that which is most universal la most divine. Think it over. Not only so. but that which Is moat commoa la often most beautiful. What Is more lovely than the rose, the grass, the trees, the sky, the sea ot the stars? They are all common. Poe once said that the greatest poems are those built about tbe homely emotions tbe loveof man and maid.

of mother and child, of country, of

God, of home. Yet these emotions are

common.

Some one else has said that genius

consists io the ability to express what

everybody, else feels. This is but giv

Ing voice to what is common to all

men.

Tbe greatest things in me are not my

peculiarities, but the things I have in

common with my fellows, tbe fullness

with which 1 give utterance to these

things, tbe points of contact I have

with all manner and conditions of men

Benjamin Franklin was at home in

the farmer's cabin, the scientist's laboratory, tbe legislative hall and the

king's palace. He bad points of con

tact with all.

The greatest men are so. They pos

sess common faculties raised to the nth

power. This is genius.

The highest kind of sense is com

mon sense.-. It is the essence of the

experience and wisdom of all ages.

Tbe man wh beholds the divinity of

common life suddenly sees the miracle

and beauty of God's good green world.
