The Will That Made a Way. Sw n 1an cn et, thee calam it: ee the tIr"de !:acib- lia. ;-r:csronc, Cureton. Whiat co h he do - Noting but ri:spair. :Ir a yvear. Then Ie t. t l.ok about. and fomd woirk a. a coer. In bright er days. he had enjoyed watching and helping a cobbler. and that ex perience of idle hours proved a prov idential thing. So he began by making the ccarsest k:nd of shoes. but the onIy kind h: -ould make. All the neighbors patrCnized him. The great teachner. Frederick Froe bel. sad. *Learni to do byv doing." and als. *Go roi :- known to the un:nown. This boy. Elisha C,ureton. did both. though he had never ofeard f Frob. From mak ing the coarsest. he got to making, the finest shoes: and whereas. at irst. men went to him or shoes for their farm hands. thry nnally went -to him for shoes fRr themselves. Those who cann-ot walk have more time than those who can. Young Cureton was not a genius. but attention and study are good substitutes for the "divine afflatus, and these enabled him to mend watches and clocks. In time he got a few month's training under a watchmaker. Many young farmer boys want to go to the city. A cripple would have many more opportumties in the citv.-so. of course, he would go! No, this boy stayed in the country,-to make shoes and mend watches, and,-what else would you guess? Well, he mproved a farm. That. is. he directed the work, -rid ing about on a woman's saddle. He invented a capital rolling chair for himself, for convenience in getting about, anS had an inclined phtform from the house. He was an expert croquet player in the years when croquet NAs the popular game. He was so cherry and merry that he was welcomed everywhere, and such a patient. helpful Christian that a visit from him was as good as a sermon. He is somewhat over forty now. He has amassed ten thousand dollars or more: has two beauiful homes,-one a farm, the other one of the neatest in the vil lage. Several years ago he married. Let him take a place in the front rank of successs-winner-s.-Ex change. How to Be Great Do not try to do a great thing; you may waste all your life wa,iting for the opportunity which may nev er come. But since little thtings are theny claiming your attention. do thnas they come, from a great mo tive, for the glory .of God, to win His smile of approval, and 'to do good to men. It is harder to 'plod in obscurity, acting thus. than to stand on the high places of the field,, within the view of all. and do deeds of valor at which rival armies stand still to gaze. But no such act goes without the swift recognition and -the ultimate recompense of Christ. To fulfill faithfully the duties of your station: to use to the utter-' most the gifts f your ministry ; to 'bear chafing unthankful and evil: to be content to be martyrs before the 'pillory and stake. to find the one noble trait in people wvho try to mo 1est you: to put the kindness con strction on unkind acts and words:; to love with the love of God even the 1mthankful and evil: to be con tent to be a fountain in the midst of a wild valler of stones. nourish ing a few lichens and wvild riwers, or now and again a thirsty sheep: and to do this always, and not for the praise of man. but for the sake of dod-this makes a great lifte. F. B. .Ucycr. Inflammatory Rheumatism Cured. William Shaffer. a breakeman of Denn.ion. Ohio. was contined! to his bed for several weeks with inidamma tory rheumatism. 'I used many' rem edies." he savs. "Finally I sent to McCaw's drug~ store for a ba,ttle of Cham'berlain'- Pain Plal'. at which time I wais :'f:th!e to. use hand of foot. and in 'ine weeks time wani able to go to work as happy as a clam." ,For. sa!e bv' Smith Drug Co..

Ti p.lor dog is tired out." said ary. as thex wagon drove into the an TowiSer. covered with the t the road. droppcd lolling a1d panting upon the grass. 'Tisn' the journey he had to :c:e that's tired him." laughed the 1ar:1r. i Hs used himseIf up by zig-zagging irom one side of the ra,i to the other and tendin' to everything that didn't concern him. I lc C'uhil't pass a gate without rumni' through it to see what was on the other side. nor see a hen any where along the road without feel in' called on the chase her. Every dog that barked . started him to harkin' and every thing that moved took him out of his way to find out what it was and where it was go in'. No wonder he's tired! But :fu'il fnd plenty of human bein's that are travelin' their lives through in just that same way. .They ain't atisfiedl with the bit f road that's marked out for their neighbor's go ins and doin's and take charge ot no end of the things that they can't either help.or hinder. They're like Towser: it wears 'em out. If they'd follow straight aw:er the Master and not invent so many extra cares for themselves. the road wouldn't he nigh so long nor hard." Facing The Foe. O. please let me do that?" beg ged Rhoda. "I hate cutting out dress skirts!" Aunt Ruth dropped her shears on the cutting table and straighten ed her bent back, to give a sharp look at the eager face coaxing her. --First time I ever heard hatin to do a thing brought forward as a reason for doing it !" she remark ed, looking the girl over shrewdly. "O ves. Aunt Ruth," said Rhoda: "moth'er says that's the very reason. Face the foe! That's her motto that she's always brought us up on. If you don't, she says you go on dreading and dreading it forever, and worse and worse as you put off trying it. and by and by you are in capable. She always makes us try to do everything we hate to do. and keep at it till we like it." "Your mother's a most sensible woman." was Aunt Ruth's com ment. "Here, take the shears. then. I was goin' to let you look on and see me do it. But you might as well make your mistakes and profit by 'em." "There, sir." said Rhoda, in tri umph. fifteen minutes later. "That bugbear never will blck my way again." "Plucky way of doing." mutter ed Robert to himself, comi-ig out of the window seat where he had been lounging over a Harper's Weekly instead of doing what he called "tackling" his debating club essar. "'Face the Foe !' Did. it too,.like a soldier. Wonder how that rule would work on some of my' 'bugbears?' There's that Christian Enevrmeeting to-night. Dick wanted I should lead it for him. I sneaked out of it by telling him I never did such a thing in my life. Jelieve in my heart I'll go and try it. Rhoda-fashion! Wouldn't she be surprised if she knew what she made me do with her old dress rnaking lesson ?" Boys Who Became F'amous A Swedish bor' fdi out of a win dow and was badly hurt, but. with clenched lips, he kept back the cry of pain. The king. Gustavus Adol phus, who saw the boy fall. prophe sied that the bov would make a man for an emergency. And so he did. for he became the famous Gen. ater. A hov used to crush the flowers to gt their color, and painted the white side of his father's cottage in Ty-rol with all sorts df pictures. which the motntaineers gazed at as wondlerful. He wxas the great artist. Titian. An old painter watched a little feow who wxas amusing himself making dirawings of his pot and brushes, easel and stool, and said: "That bor' will heat me oneda.

There was a Christmas treat given to poor children at a mnission hall. and hun dreds -f little ones were assembled at the do-ors in advance of the hour of admittance. many of whorn were harefoot. Among them was a swet-faced little girl. who seemed less hardened than most to the cold. for she shivered in her poor jacket. and danced from one foot to the other-alas. what pitiful dancing that in the cold. hard stones,. to Plut S..I life into her chilled limbs.

EDItSED AT HOME. Such Proof as this Should Convince any Newberry Citizen. The public endorsement of a local cit zen is the best proof that can be pro duced. None better, none stronger can be had. Whet, a man comes forward and testifies to his fellow citizens, ad dresses his friends and neighbors you may be sure he is thoroughly convinced or he would not do so. 'Telling one's experience when it is for the public good is an act of kindness that should be appreciated.
