At present a number of men are em ployed to cut hoop poles on what is k-town as "Hog Back." While the men were engaged shortly before noon Friday they were startled by the cry of a companion in distress. Look ing around they saw one of their numn ber shinnirng it up a friendly dogwood tree, while near the base of the tree lay a venomous looking rattlesnake. Seizing a club Irwin Shipley quickly despatched the reptile, which meas ured over three feet. and as a reward for his services he is now in posses sion of eleven rattles and a button.

Mrs. Elamn. an old Cherokee woman. living *near Rose, Indian Territory, is the owrer of a gourd which, if tra dition is correct, has been handed :own from generation to generation in her family for nearly 400 years. The family tradition says the gourd was raised in the year 1516 in what is now Ohio. but, however that may be. it is very old in any event, as it has been in Mrs. lam's possession for forty years. and was esteemed an an cient relic when given her.

"A merry (joyful) heart maketh a cheErfui countenance"-literally, does good to the face; makes it comely, attractive. The secret cf real wi soneness is a gocd heart. A good heart has a "continual feast." The man with a good heart and a good con science has a winning way. He is the winner. Further, it makes a gopd medicine. This is an early recogni tion of that well-known psychological fact that a happy frame of mind gives health to the body; and nothing hurts it more than grief, anxiety, and a bad temper. Paul's law of becoming all things to all men seems to mean the cheerful and glad adaptation of one's own ways to the needs of another to 'wi% him to Christ." Only the hap py, cheerful, and optimistic man can do this. Our daily readins illustrate the variou.s phases of this wonderful fa culty or grace. Nothing is quite so popular as a "winsome" person. He need not be handsome or rich, but if he is of a glad heart he is attractive. The elements of winsomeness are enumerated by Paul as long-suffering, kind, unselfish, not boasting nor ego tistic, unruffled in temper and pure in thought. It is gentlemanly, ''behav ing itself seen.ly" and puts the best constriction possible to any action. hope. Paul and Barnabas are good exam ples of winsomeness. They caused joy" in going through a community, and at the council giving their ex perience and telling of God's dealing with them won the council to their views. The motive to all this is the love of God shed forth in the heart, maling a glad and happy heart. God's love to us is the impelling cause of our love to others. The very grace of winsomeness will give compassion and pity. It will be our letter of recommendlatior. to oth ers. It will give us access to tre hearts of men. It will change us into the image of our Master. It will give us health and long life. It will bring recomp1ense on earth and reward in heaven. Every good promise is to him vsho has the real winsomeness of a Chi stan heart and life. H t NEIND6EUr"Z"J~R NOTE IUNDAY, AUGUST TWENTICTil. The Duty cf Winsomeness.-Prov. , 13-15; 17: 22; 1 Cor. 9: 19-22. It is useless to try to put into the face what is not in the heart, or to keep out of the race what is in the heart. The physicians are beginning to find out the powerful influences of the mind upon the body. A hearty laugli is an actual tonic. The winsome person is never servile. but always serving; there is agreat difference. St~gestions. '. Winsomeness is based en sympathy with at. rs, and sympathy with others is based on knowledge of them. Winsomeness is fortunate if it is natural, blessed and praiseworthy if it is acquired. It is Christ lifted up that is to draw all men to Himself: it is not we. A winsome soul-winner must be un conscious of himself: he must be doubly conscious of Christ. Illustrations. Winsomeness is a matter of the heart., not of the face, just as two pieces of iron may look alike, and only one of them be a magnet. As the power of gravity is to be utilized anywhere and at any time. so is the power of Christ's attractive ness. As the pcwer of attract'on inr:'sc as bodlies come closer together, and inversely as the square of the dis tance, so if you would win men. vou must get close to them. If a merchant wants to draw people to his store, he offers for sale not the kind of goods lie fancies, but the kinds people like. Is there any particular person whom you are trying to win for Christ?
