I McBRYDC WEBB, While the work of tho Legislature has generally been commended, and while the State has not suffered from "wild cat" legislation as some predicted during a part of the session, the body did make some mistakes. One that has attracted some attention already was the $1,000 appropriation to the holiness school and orphanage at Marion. Among the press comments on this action of the Legislature we take the following from the Lexington Dispatch, which we think is well said: "The State should never give a dollar to any religious sect or church, or church institution. Of course there is added antagonism to the gift in some places because the holiness church is regarded as a menace to useful church work, causing dissensions in churches and communities and teach ing the absurd doctrine of sinless perfection, often with disastrous results to brain cells." 3 Attorney and Counselor at j there, many will stay away.

It is a mistake for a boy to think that a dashing, swaggering manner will commend him to others. The fact is, that the quiet, modest boy is much more in demand than the boy of the swaggering type. More than one boy has lessened his chances of success in life by acquiring in boy hood a pert, smart, dashing manner, pacticularly offensive to men of real intelligence and refinement. Modesty is an admirable trait in a man as in a woman, and the wise boy will find it to his distinct advantage to be quiet and modest in manner. It is a mistake for a boy to put too high an estimation on his own wisdom. He will find it to be to his advantage to rely on the far greater wisdom of those much older than himself. And he will find it still more to his chemistry of the soil and thoroughly understands the rotation of the crops.

We take the foiiowing beautiful observations from Mr. Gold's article: "If one is blessed with the spirit to appreciate life as the creation and gift of God, and values it as a favor above anything that man can earn or deserve and is impressed to do those things that are good and profitable unto men, being diligent in business and fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, then life is worth living. To be busily engaged in what is useful and up-building to the people, help ful to the race, is desirable. To be cheerful and courageous, endeavoring to do those things which are good and profitable to men with a meek,quiet and thankful spirit, graces human life. To seek not what men own, but to seek their good and happiness, to speak a word of encouragement to the despondent, to relieve such as are oppressed, is good proof of good touch of unerodly lust, and to live will to men. iu cac ..--,0 - -i ;v, ,117 and o-odlv in this present evil world is soueny, nguituv -ritv far more glorious than ill-gotten wealth can ever bestow. live as to have a conscience void of offence toward God and man supplies a feast that kings might well covet. to attain a To so ILLtae cough and Glials THE LUNGS WITH r.

It is a mistake for a boy to feel at any time in all the days of his boy hood that it is not his duty to be re spectful and deferential to his fath er and mother. The noblest men in the world have felt this to be their duty, when boyhood days were far hphind them. It is a bad sign of disrespect to his parents. It is a mistake for a boy to sup pose that there is any better or safer place for him than his own home after nightfall. The boy who forms the habit of running the streets at night is sure to fall in with evil com panions, for the better class of boys will be in their homes at night. Records of crime prove that many a boy has begun a criminal career by strolling the streets at night. There is no better place for young people than the "sweet safe corner of the household fire."
