Some of them have resolved to •do and not Idle away their opportunities. As a first step a call has been made for the organisation of a debating lyceum. , It is to I-e hoped that there may be a , general response. There is a nice comfortable place in rear Of the Free Library room where pleasant warmth and tilling , accommodations may be had free. Here ■ is a chance for the future citizens and , public men In make a start. In no way j ran ao much lie gained by an r<|ual amount of mental outlay as in entering sphltly into a debate. It teaches tolcra- , lion, among other things, and this U a point of great importance in the life of ' every future citizen. By all mean* let the debating society go. even if the old questions of our fathers bare to be gone ' over again. < It has been well said that our beat pro- J pic comprise the minuter who preaches the beat sermon, the lawyers who knows the most law and how to apply It, the ' doctor who has tlic most skill, theme- | chanic who understands his business and | works and saves money, the storekeeper j who gives full measure, and doesn't put , all the liig apple* on top. and an nn all the way down to thrkilchm. I. "is absurd to talk about best people from gny ' other stand-point in this country. What j - there i* particularly good In a degenerate I son of any WtistroiHraman can not be : easily told in a country where a man or j woman may. by perseverance, win a place In popular favor, that mere'chsnce of birth can never give. A ten year old lad called at one of our ' city insurance offices and asked the • clerk if he had any more "dates" lo give , away. The scribe bit the end of his pen and" smiled at the question.
