The Will That Made a Way.

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

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.

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.

Tower's Failing.
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.
And he (lid, for he wxas Mlichacl An

A German boy was reading a
b lood-and-thunder novel. Right in
the midst of it he said to himself.
"Now, this will never do. I get too
much excited over it. [ can't study
so well after it. So here it goes !"
and he f!ung the hook into the river.

was a Christmas treat given to poor

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

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. The following state
ment given bv a resident of Newberry
adds one more to the many cases of
