CAREFUL SPEECH. -
It Aid* Clear Thinking and the ex
pression of Ono's Idsas.
Nothing is more of a help to clear
thinking than caielui speech. Very of
ten we discover u Haw in our logic
when we attempt to put It Into words,
observes the Irish World. Hut some
times we ready liu'e ideas, though
we experience difficulty In expressing
them.
People of sympathetic natures are
frequently dumb in the presence of sor
row. Some who are very intelligent
are so silent and diffident that nobody
ever gets the benefit of their bright
ideas.
A recent poet has Intimated that for
the deep tilings of life language is al
together Inadequate; but, however that
may be. it is t lie principal means at
present by which human beings get
close together.
We learn to talk, as we say. In the
first few years of life, and some of
us get very little beyond that start In
babyhood. We can ask for what we
want to eat and drink, but we are un
able to express sympathy tactfully and
gracefully.
We have a great many Ideas that w’e
never try lo put Into words, because
we feel that we do not know the right
words. We have not really learned to
talk while we remain silent regarding
ybe things which mean most to us.

NEGLECTED CHILDREN.
1# There Were Fewer of Them There
Would Be Less Crime.
A St. Louis judge recently made tbe
statement In an address delivered be
fore a local bar association that "If
one-fourtb as mucb as is spent for
keeping up our courts. Jails, poorbouses
and paupers was applied to belp neg
lected city children make a proper start
In life tbe high tide of crime surely
j would decrease."
I This Is a remarkable statement to
make; but, coming from tbe source It
does. It Is worthy of consideration of
all philanthropic men and women. Had
tbe speaker made bis statement more
general and applicable to the country
as well as to tbe cities It would all tbe
| same be worthy of credence.
Tbe life of every one depends largely
I upon tbe start made. There are those
who are started right and then depart
from the straight but narrow path, but
they are tbe exception and not tbe
rule. Thousands of little unfortunates
may be said to be born criminals, the
> offspring of criminal parentage. If
| not so born they are so bred. But It
; is true, as said by this St. Louis Judge.
1 that If a benevolent and righteous pub
lie would deal with tbe problem as It
I might there would be less crime aud
fewer criminals. — Knoxville Journal
and Tribune.
George Is employed In hi* father’s
clothing emporium. On his return
from lunch a few days ago his father
called him into the office and said:
“While you were at lunch your tailor
called to collect a bill. I am surprised
and pained, sir. to learn that you are
in arrears, isn’t it possible for you to
live on your salary?”
“Certainly it is. sir,” replied George
coolly, "but you don’t eipect me to
support my creditors too?”—Exchange.
Sura Enough.
“Yes, sir.” said the station master.
“Safety first lias spread all over this
country. And nobody that comes to

post, its stern message was:
“It is dangerous to walk or atand on
these tracks while a train is passiug.”

Warming • Sarpcnt.
Down in Bermuda Mark Twain
made a speech about snakes to a group
of little girls. The speech was great
The only trouble was tbat the little
girls could not appreciate it It flew
over their beads. This was the bu
morist’s conclusion:
“Never warm a serj>ent in your bos
om. It Is far easier to warm it by
placing it under the pillow of au inti
mate friend.”
