THE MAN AT THE WHEEL. 1t is important that the man at the wheel of a touring car should be sober. No onie on earth thinks it is the place for a boozy person. Not only the people, but the order- Iy and discreet automobilists them- gelves are moving to have the legis- latures make stringent laws with ref- erence to intemperate drivers.

That child labor is decreasing in the United States is proved by the Re- port on Occupations recently publish- ed by the Bureau of the Census. This report shows that between 1900 and 1910 there was a decrease of 129,236 in the number of children 10 to 15 vears of age engaged in mon-agricultural pursuits. Of this number 77,666 were boys and 70 girls The National Child Labor committee consider the census figures very gfatifying as showing the results ofitheir work. “We have been sure for some time” says Owen R, Lovejoy, general secretary of the Nationai Child Labor committes. in commenting on the census report, “that there must haveibeen a decrease in the number of children at work, but until now we have never had offieial figures to prove such a.decrease. Since our organization in 1904 we have se- cured improved cMld labor or com- | pulsory education laws;in every state of the union. There are still eight states howewer, in which the.generally accepfed 14 year age limit for work in manufacturing establishments is not recognized, 14 states that allow chil- dren under 16 to work at night, and a great number of states that do not properly regulate the employment of children In dangerous trades, street trades. and various oecupations out- side of factorles and stores. So we still have plenty of werk to do. We regard the census figures as import- ant not only because they show the resnits of our work, but because they suggest what can be done if the American people once set their minds to keeping their children out of in- dustry and giving them education/and health® EDITORML NOTES.

Sense recognizes every- thing as being useful; and common sense prompts to making the right use of it. 1 should not want any one to say of me, “It is just natural for him to' be g00d.” It may sound very compli- mentary to you but there is no flat- tery in it for me. The most natural thing on earth is for a person to be himself, to be able to think for him- self, apeak for himself and act for himself. temptatioh and the true man is not sneaking around to find the linc of least resistance. Temptation is the test in this world of manhood and piety. The kind of goodness that docs not require a good deal of energy for its support is not of the first quality. When the goody. goody Young man came to the Saviour to tell him how 200d he was—he had kept the law and the préphets, he didn't say: “Well dons my good and faithful servant, enter thou into the kingdom,” sell as thou hast and give it to the poor.” That was the master test and there is no evidence he was equal to it. When a man feels so good he thinks the angels notice and applaud his good deeds every day the angels must be smiling at his conceit. Heaven never could be Heavem with such a rpopulation. The reason good advice gives most folks a pain may be its source or may | be its form. Did you ever try to ad- vise any one for their own good? Have you ever tackled a brother or sister and unbosomed vourself for thelr 200d? If you have perhaps they have said to you “If you could practice as well as you can preach you would be setting an example I should feel proud to follow!” What a rebuff that 1s! Aid we get mad because we know it is true. Putting precepts into our own lives and making them shine is more diffi- cult than framing them up in sweet words and handing them to the other party. Honeved words are a delusion and a snare. If most people should say to those they would improve "Do as I ‘don't” it would be first-class counsel. Who would not hesitate to say: “Do as I do and reform vourself! And vet, some good advisers come so near saying this they make the other party smile. When a fréind seeks your advice he is much better suited if you tell him you do not feel qualified to advise him, which he will accept as a compliment. Most of us are 5o honest we ask a friend’s advice to get his praise! The happiest person is the one who has_something to do and something profitable to think about. Occupation andsalvation are more closely allied thén most persons think. It has been said thé man who finds joy in occu- pation is never miserable. People who cherish Withering thoughts shouldn’t wonder why they are unhappy. Get the notion you are a son of hard luck, that you not understood, that you are not appreciated. and Il guaranty you can /to feeling as downcast and mean as’it is possible for a human sonl to become. God endowed man with mind for his elevation and he uses it for his own debasement and depression and half the time blames the Lord for his own foolishness. The first essential for happiness in this Iife is that we should get on the right side of ourselves. To be our own worst ememy is to deliberately take the road to Despair. As free choosers men cannot be said to always choose wisely. No man who ever becams con- scious he was & son of God and -held that picture in his mind lacked peace or power. Heed the command to “Know Thyselt.” Have you semsed the fact that mién in this life feat the opinion of others more than they enjoy thelr own. When it comes to opinions great men’ have differed greatly about them. _Henry Ward Beecher's opinion was: “Private opinfon is weak, but public opinion is almost omnipotent:” Lut Carlyle de- clared “popular opiriion is the great- est lfe in the world” If we have many opinions if we keep them to our- selves we shall not gain repute of being opinionated and excite preju- dice and disrespect. The tide of our sympathies has more to do with form- ing our opinfons than divine precepts. Oplnlons are short-lived, for the opin- jon of today may be squealched by a bettet opinion tomorrow. The opinions of others are what mettle us. It was Frankiin who sald: “If all but myself ‘were Blind I shéuld want neither fine . fine houses, nor fine furni- 'mu 18 whers the rub is in couamvah— Swift founa We are born into a world of but “go | i :i“ !lnycumg.ma‘!'x'._ Perhape you have noticed that most | of the Inventions have to be tually, and most great luctive and h-tte%r‘ seif be the direct ica? To create a bigger and better city or country we must broaden and be busier—we must cut a more com- ! manding figure in life S0 that home and government will look more at- tractive on the map.

This bigger and better idea should work ffom within outward. Man is not bigger and better for the money he has in his purse. or the bonds he has locked um in his safe: but for the eternal principles of justice and truth he is cherishing in his heart. But men like to think of making leverytning bigger and better except self.” They are willing to shout for it, | but not to work for it; they are willing to pay the price for stperfical progress, but decline to give the time and en- deavor necessary for permanent ad- vancement. . Man really never gets over the juvenile habit of eating his cake and then wanting it. It was Edmund Burke who called at- tention to the delusions of man. “How | little' man is,” sald Burke, “vet in nis own mind how great! He is lord and master of all things, yet scarce can command anything. He is given a freedom of his will; but wherefore? Was it but to torment and perplex| him the more? How little avail this freedom, if the objects he is to act upon be not as much disposed to obey as he is to comamnd. Does not what men 6o lustily seek as bigger and Detter tend to make them more selfish and proud? To crush rather than elevate them? Man was never made bigger or bet- S S those who agree with us in our opin- ions. 86me one has said: “Do not blame rum for the downfall of a chap who would have been a failure had he kept Sober.” This seems to me to bé pretty Zood advice. It is not so easy to tell what primarity ruins a fellow-being. It is not easy to dig down to causes 50 the world bases most of its conclu- sions upon effects. When all is said {and done the best that can be said of rum is that combined with molasses it has cured a hard cough, and combined with gun-powder it has kept men bold if it did not keep them sober. Rum a5 a beverage soaks all the good out of a man, and puts no good into him. The fact that a man hugs a serpent to his bosom .is an indication that he dldn’t have sense enough, or will cnough, to hug anything better; hence, he is likely to have hugged the wrong thing if he had been born in a total abstinence enviroment and never ea- capegd from it. Rum of itself is power- less—habit has to tako it up and use it for exhieration and through this the way to damnation is ecsy. SUNDAY MORNING TALK WHAT WE ALL LONG TO KNOW How Are Men and Women Going to Spend Their Bternity? Not in singing. Singing is a very delightful employment, but I think we shouid all weary of if. They do sing. however. and play on all kinds of in- struments, and the music is the perfect expression of some affection, and it awakens in every one who hears it the affection it expresses. Every heart responds and vibrates In unision with the harmony. There are occasions when _soclety answers to society, when myriads of voices and myriads of instru- ment join in chorus to celebrath some attribute of the Lord's love and wis- dom, and the whols heaven flows | with sweet ecstatic song. But sing- ing is no more the business of hu- man beings in the other world than it is here. One thing. however, we must not forget: There is no labor in heaven: There are employments, activities: there is service, help, use; but there are no repulsive tasks, no exhausting toil, no weary limbs, no aching head- no distracted mind. Eve one does that which he can do best and de- lights to do. His heart his head, his whole life is in his use. His love, wisdom and power increase with ex- ercise. He lives more, can do do more, and enjoy more in every step he takes than he did in the one which preceded it. And so every one who enters heaven will go on forever. The essence of all this heavenly happiness is the love to the Lord and the neighbor which fills every angel's heart. Every one loves others more than himself. There can be no heaven where there is no love to the Lord and the neighbor. Think of Heaven! Try to bring 1t home to yourselves as a reality! Two parties In two worlds separated only by the thin vell of flesh are engaged in the care and nurture of your child As the mother does her work, so the angels do theirs.. The mother cares for the body, the angels for the soul. The mother seeks to awaken the natural faculties in conscieus and Eflmm action; the angels to call infp existence the germs of the &piritual facuities which in due time will introduce the child into a new world, and glve him capacities to receive the Diyine life in higher and richer form. the wise and fith- ful mother and the wiser and more faithful angels walk side by side In- visible to each other, bLut regarding the same object,-and with affections directed to the same God. In going from this world to heaven we go from the unreal to the real; we go from obscurity into light from shadow to substance. from sameness to variety from. deformity to besuty, from the artificial to the essential, from confusion to order, from diseord to harmony. from poverty to wealth, from testraint to fréedéth, from disip- | road pointmient, labor, weriness, disease, pain, fear; from tears and sorfow to fruition, 19 joy, peacs asq ks toreign 1and we go, to to home, to R brated writer sald, To creaté a bigger and better ”J:}“nu!" tal aboard more faith, hope and charity. | “Faith is the pencil of the soul that the first daughter of | making a firm foundation within to | support the treasures without.

One of the greatest political trials in the history of Scotland—political be- use it had to do with two great clans of that country, although mur- der was the charge—was that of James Stewart of the Glen. It was the cui mination of a feud that had existed between the Stewarts and the Camp- | bells for many vears, and even to this day the bitterness has not ‘subsided that was started by the murder of Colin Campbell of Glenure. Whether |or not James Stewart was guilty has Iways remained a mystery but at any rate he was compelled to pay the Penaity on the scaffold. - The _gibbet | was erected near the present Scottish | town of Ballachulish Ferry, and Stew- art died on Nov. 8, 1752. Colin Camp- bell had been murdered on the after- | noon of May 14 of the same vear. As before noted, the clans Stewart and Campbell were at though the two clans had frequently intermarried. In fact James Stewart and the murdered man were blood rel- | atives. They had been friends in past days in spite of clan rivalries. Camp- bell was a wealthy land owner, and James was one of his tenants petrel, vas also held on suspicion as being implicated in the murder. Or. May 7 Campbell set out from Bdinburgh for Fort William on busi- ness, and one week later he began the return journey with a party of three, intending to pass the night at the inn at Kintalline, near the scene of an in- | Ferry | tended eviction. Ballachulish had just disappeared from view to the four riders, and the hills of Morven were becoming prominent when sud- denly at a point in the road at the wood_of Lettemore, a shot rang out and Mungo Campbell heard Colin ex- claim, “Oh, T am dead!” The nephew turned to seek the as-|as rapidly a sailant, but he had disappeared over a hill In the distance. He started in pur- suit, but lost track of him. Another of the party was quickly sent on ahead to secure assistance, while one of them guarded the body sons were arrested on suspicion, in- cluding Mungo Campbell and Allan Breck, James Stewart and his son, Al- lan, were taken to Fort William on the | 16th of May.

An attempt was made to lead direct evi- dence that James had previously en- deavored to arrange the murder of Campbell by deputy, but thé attempt | utterly failed. There was no absolute evidence that James Stewart was the | murderer, nor in any way an accessory | to it The verdict condemned the prisoner to be taken to Ballachulish and there to be hanged, his body thereafter to be suspended by chains.

The prisoner was carried back to Inverary prison and was transterred to the scene of his former | confinement at Fort William.
