Pain Watchful Guard of Mankind.
Concerning the usefulness, the
aolual.importance, of pain, Dr.
Jam'es Thompson Bixby says in
an argument in behalf of good as
the final goal, “1 fancy if any one
of us were-endowed wtlh omnipo
tence for n quarter of an hour
and allowed to improve the cre
ative scheme according to his own
idea, the very first edict we would
issue would lie an edict, abolish
ing all pain." Then our rcusoner
conlinue's: "But such a reform
er nf nature's laws would soon
find himself in deeper (rouble
than ever. For unquestionably,
sensations of pain are the vigi
lant watch-guards that now pre
serve the tiudy from greater in
juries." An example is cited. A
I laborer, through a certain nerv
ous maladya, lost the sense uf
feeling in his feet: consequently
when iit— liis sleep tie fell inln a
lied of quicklime they were sn in
jured before he fell any pain Dial
they had In he amputated. As far
[as we can see, il is only In these
[■sensitive sentinels, I lie nerves.
I hat animal organisms can lie
kepi from dismemhei'iiieiil and
I tie citadel of life saved from pre
mia In re destruction. II is the
pangs of hunger in living tilings
that quicken them to the accum
ulation of food, that spur us to
exertion, ambition and progress,
and all the pleasures and good
things linked with them. When
we seek tin* deepest root of the
grand tree of civilization, we find
il in pain. Man’s weakness de
veloped in Dim a superior sensi
tiveness to suffering, and that
sensitiveness stimulated in him
the civilizing faculties, such as
skill, enterprise, co-operation.

os, of the Orpheuin theale., a

ed the idea of presenting to one
of the audience of the Orpheuin
a beautiful ring and a valuable
pin to (he “lucky” one holding the
right number.
i* When the .tickets were given
[out it. vyas .noted that .Bourkr had
ticket number i-ll-ii, and that
was the -winning ticket. When
the number was called Joe stood
up in' meeting and said, “I win;
it's tile first time in my life; let
me have that ring and the valu
able pin and I will lake it to
Charley Day and get something
on it.”
What was liis amazement when
the small hoy presented him with
a ring of a hell, used lo call the
crowd io the Orpheuin, ami for a
pin he received a rolling pin. Joe
received llie cheers of tin* crowd
ed house good naluredly and
swears (hat he will yel be even

GOOD LOSERS.
When .counted were flic receul
votes we found fund were dis
mayed that 57,000 goats were
[stolen, lost or strayed. And some
who .lost their treasured goats
>vere grouchy, sad and sore; dire
threats came smoking from their
throats, they pawed the ground
and swore. “We were the vic
tims of a clique, a faction or a
ring, hut we’ll get even yet," they
shriek: "we’ll grind our knives,
by jing, and when Hit' traitors,
villains, knaves, themselves for
ollice strive, their goats will till
dishonored graves, as sure as
we’re alive!” The also ram* who
talk like this but fill Iheir friends
with aches; for folks don’t make
a hit'who hiss like* locoed garter
snakes. Some losers go around^
as -though they felt relief, and
from Iheir lips comes no sound
of mourning or of grief. “Our
goats are gone, so let them go!”
exclaim these dauntless men;
"but when we have the time, you
know, we’ll round them- up again.
Some other day the people’s votes
in our behalf may fall; then will
come hack our wand’ring goats, j
with whiskers, horns and all." I
The people mark the joyous sport,
and on some future day when
he Iheir influence shall court,
their voles will come this way.
