When To It >s not infrequent Err is thnt thellECOBi>’s atJustifiable. tention is called to / some of its fearful blunders in typographical makeup, as some kind friend may see it, but we are only human and it is human to err. By these mistakes, of making a notice say that the sewing circle meets on Sunday afternoon, or a similar mixing of dates or names, wo hear from them and know they are read, whereas if the item appeared in proper form we would not heer a word from it. So with the kind things we say or may perhaps leave unsaid of some dear reader, the error on our part is sure to be heard from, while not a whisper of thanks or otherwise seldom comes to onr ears when we tumble over ourselves in homage to a friend.

Dancing The dividing line b- - As An tween what is proper Amusement, and what is improper
The Sophomore class is going tojiire a detective to look after their members.
amusement within church circles is a most interesting yet uncertain one, and is not the same in different localities. This observation is especially true of dancing, and it is likewise true as to various other church amusements. -With some sects sentiment is so severe thnt it even excludes music and musical instruments. In the case of the Methodist Episcopal church the danse of its church rules touching this phase of amusement has long been considered a dead letter, and has all but been cancelled from its church rules. And now we learn from press notices thnt a committee of ladies in New York has been active in introducing mixed dancing in the public schools there. It is farther recorded that there are fourteen churches in the Borough of Manhattan alone that have opened their doors twice a week to invite the young people in to dance. These are new and startling innovations on old ideas of church proprieties. The times force us to welcome these changes from the old to the new to a degree at least in behalf of the young people, and young people must have amusement. To what better purpose could some of the time in our churches and public schools be given than to the teaching of polite manners in a practical way. We are admonished to “forsake the very appearance of evil.” Much of the evils of amusements are not the amusement itself, but the harm made of it. To those who so severely criticise the dance, would they but make the slightest acquaintance with a properly conducted dance hall, under pirental approval, they would most surely find there a more desirable atmosphere, amusement and company for their boys and girls than so much night walking, late hoar bnggy riding, and many other means of amusement which prohibit parents knowing the whereabouts of their children.

Keep On The Crawfordsville The Water Review scared the WagonI whole county last week when they told us that Crawfordsville was sure going to have another “wot" and “dry” election soon. Thau the Journal says “t«int so!” The majority of the people over Montgomery county will most certainly wish that.

The people who are accustomed to use hateful language, and to let their temper govern them in such a manner, are subject to the following results for each offense: More enemies. • Less friends. Less money. Less success. More wrinkles and gray hairs. Life made one year shorter. Oh, if some people could look over the trivial insults, embarassments and scorns, which are given day after day, and if they could excuse their quick temper at such times, they would be subject to the opposite to the above results, and would not only make themselves happier, but also their associates. As a suggestion if some one makes you angry by insulting words, don’t fly off the handle—try singing Eva Tanguay’s famous song, “I Don’t Care.”—Ex.
