Sometimes we think the Judas kiss is still in vogue by the short space that intervenes before the "freeze -out" is substituted. Kissing may be all right in its legitimate place in connection with the tender relation- ships of life but the promiscuous variety .is very shoddy. —p -- The young people of today know little of the old time joys, such as were sup- plied with the almost -out-of-date bucksaw 0, as a calesthenic exerciser. Who would trade the bygone experience of breaking in a yoke of steers for an automobile ride of today? True there was not the speed nor the gasoline perfume about the for- mer but there was rare sport that set your blood a tinglirig and so aided diges- tion that the meals appeared a long dis- tance apart.

S., a notable personage passed off this scene of action. His life was a heroic representation of what may be accomp- lished even under Host adverse circum- stances. Born a slave, and with the op position often manifested by the white race to the negro he courageously fought his way and by dint of hard work coupled with no small native talent, attained to a large degree the goal of ambition. The practical education of his, colored breth ren, so that they might become imbued wtth lofty ideals of true manhood, was no small undertaking for Booker Wash ington but by word, pen and deed he has left a wonderful record that should stimu- late to earnest endeavor in many a useful and helpful avenue in life. It is not easy to tell a man what he should do and help him win out, but it is worth while. Stratford Aldermen made a great show of themselves over their action on the Local Option proposed By -Law. Men have a right to their opinions on public questions of live interest but the record- • ing of votes should be so maturely and conscientiously. considered that exhibi- nons of Jack•in the.box would be few and far between. Moral backbone is quality in a most desirableg y anyperson but often when the public test comes, experience of old Belshaz 'zer's," the handwriting on the wall reads 'Thou ar weighed in the bal antes and found wanting." Strange as it may appear there appears to be some thing about bout human nature e that inspires a "kick" against reforms that, properly supported, PP orted would mean the benefittinof the community. It has been so and wfil probably continue, but above the discord ant note there has always sounded the "-buble,call of "Advance" and with a .cheer that betokened victory the men and women who realize they are their brothers' keeper have won many a con test and will continue to do so to the end •of time.
