The Dignity of Labor
The trouble with most young men ifc
that they do not understand the dignity
! of manual labor. They do inot fealiae
I that honors and fortune may be more
readily gaired outside of the so-called
learned professions than in them; and
that it is just as honorable to swii^ a
hammer or to hold a plo# as it is to
make a speech in courier to ampRitate
a limb. The lesson yo&g men shMild
be taught as early as possible is that
it is is not so much what a man does
for a living as how he does it, and thr«
manual labor is as honorable aa any
other.—Stanly Enterpris,

Why Hot the Snufters
One of the principal objections to
Mr. Roosevelt's candidacy is that the
newspapers of the country will be
fk)oded daily with an account of his
doings and sayings. There was never
any man in the public life of the Un
ited States who was more dependent
upon advc^sing for his greatness. If
the newspapers wouh) agree among
themselves to put the snuffers on Mr.
Roosevelt for a month, be would never
be heard of again in the political or
business life of the country. The news
papers have made Mm and they could
unmake him almost in a day if they
would. He lives only by j-ublidty.

Mother she'd raised the winder some*-
And in acrost the orchard come, *
Soft as an anil's wing,
A dreezy, treesy, deesy.
Too sweet for anything!
The winter's shroud wss rent apart—
The sun burst forth in glee.
And when that bluebird sung, my
heart
Hopped out o' bed with me

^Mr. Underwood is not a “spellbind
er," He has made no great reputa
tion as a speker. His power lies ia
liSe wonderful mastery of mea, his com*
prehensive knowledge of the science of
government, his skill and tact as a de-:
batw and his great fund of^ old-fash*
ion^ common sense. He kliows how,
to lead without gi\ ing off^se. He ia
a master in bringing drd^r out o^
ehaos, and in subduing clamorous and
warring factions and leading them
sinillingly into peace. He is yet •
young man, being just abou) fifty and
whether or not he secures the prizar
that outshines all others in ,the eyea
of an American statesman, he is de*
atined to occupy a position of growing
power and influence in the life of
Bation.
