POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Practical jokers are anything but oymakers. Judge not your neighbor until you stand in his shoes. Broken heads, loosened slats; part iy football, partly "frats." A soft answer will not turn away an agent with something to sell. A woman's idea of making a fifteen minute call is to stay two hours. We can't all get rich quickly. In fact, most of us can't even get rich slowly. A girl likes to be secretly engaged so that she can tell all her girl friends. Only a man who Is known to be truthful can tell a lie big enough to attract attention. It is easy for a girl to believe that a certain young man is her affinity until after they are married. Nothing is more disappointing than the actions of a pretty girl who thinks her good looks an excuse for impolite. ness.

Yes, it would not.-Lippincott's. THE VILLAGE SAGE'S NEWS. Hard luck stories are usually hard r on the listener. Some men are able to hold their own, but prefer to hold others. A man can put his foot in it with out actually stepping into a grave. Of course, there's no such thing as a sea-serpent until It has actually been seen. It seems rather remarkable that when a man is down and out he is at the same time up against it. The rough and the smooth come iu most lives; and it is well when the rough comes early, before the heart is too fatint and the brain too tired to bear it. There is a great chance for the col ored folks in the rural districts to get into the poultr.; business if they could only be made to see itt they are our mo-:t natura! chicken ro~isers.

I wish all the men in the norh had his spirit." lIe took mae on his knee and talked to mue about the war. nnd~ the ugliness was forgotten. As I looked into his deep set, kindly eyes, the firm mouth, around which a smile hovered, and listened to his gen tie voice I began to think he was posi tiely handsome. Mr Lloyd also tells the following in cident, illustrating 12ncoln's kindness of heart: A young boy who bv.d sorved with distinction in a naval engagement on board the gunboat Ottawa and in an "I Thought He Was the Most Ungain ly Man I Had Ever Seen." ommended to a cadetship at the naval academy at Annapolis. Lincoln was glad to make the appointment, and the lad was directed to report for examin ation in July. Just before starting from home it was discovered that the I boy could not be admitted, being un der fourteen, the required age--his birthday not occurring until the Sep tember following. The boy was bitter ly disappointed and feared he would not be able to go at all. He was told he would be taken to see the presi dent, who would make it all right Some time afterward he was taken to the White House and presented to the president, to whom he made a graceful bow. The difficulty was ex plained and the president said: I "Why, bless me, is that the boy who aided so gallantly in those two bat tles? Why, I feel as though I should take off my hat to him and not he to me." The president took the papers and issued an order that the boy should report in September Instead of in July. Then putting his hand on the lad's shoulder, he said: "Now, my boy, go home and have good fun dur ing these two months, for they are about the last holiday you will get.' The little fellow bowed himself out, feeling that the president, though a great man, was at the same time a kindly one. His Proof. A guard was trying to disprove the charge of being drunk which was lodged against him by the provost mar. shal. That functionary called another guard, and asked his reason for mak Ing the accusation. He said: "Well, I saw him run into a iamp post. He backed away, replaced his hat on his head and started forward unsteadily again, but once more ran into the post. Three more times hE tried to get past the post, and, having failed after the last attempt, he backed off and fell to the sidewalk. Clutching his head in his hands, he muttered: 'Losht; lcsht in an impene. trable forest.'" Wasted Energy. A corporal of a .\ichigan regiment was trying to explain a certain maneu. ver to a comrade whom he thought was just thick-beaded. After a time he yelled angrly: "Why.

Are you afraid at times to confess your ignorance? Now, be honest and say yes. i And if it's any consolation to you I'll say-"Me, too." But I'm gradually learning a lesson -a valuable one. 7'ma learning to say I don't know I don't. 'ting over bluffing my way i dar-k. - use I can't learn by re main int. And if .'t confess my ignorance -to some , maybe myself. I'll never learn. Learn to seek reasons; ask ques tions; be inquisitive; find out. If you keep on supposing and guess ing, you'll grow into a chronic sup pose, and worst of all, you'll get to fooling yourself. First thing you know, you'll be able to convince your self that everything which isn't so Is so. That's bad business. What every man needs is to know that which isn't so, and to confess when he doesn't know. Ignorance is better than deception. -"Tips" in Christian Herald. INSOMNIA TIPS! Sleeplessness seldom kills. Doctors say victims exaggerate. There are worse things than lying awake. Don't do exhilarating stunts before turning In. Find out if your bed clothing is light, yet warm. Change the height or your pillow or slip it out entirely. Get up and brush your hair gently or read until your lids droop. Sometimes a hot footbath, massage or cold spinal douches will help. Do not go to bed on a faint stom ach. Drink a glass of hot milk. A diet of lettuce often produces sleepiness and warm drinks are ef fectual. All medical authorities of tcday con cede that eight hours is the minimum of sleep for brain workers. Any mechanical device can be re sorted te without harm. It needs only a trial, but opiates are something to shun. Agree onl Anti-Alcohol Plan.
