There's many a stip on the stony hillside Of life as we up to the summit would climb. The pathway is narrow, the pitfalls are wide. And we can go only one step at a time. Then what wonder so many have made a misstep And fallen. Let us pause ere their sin we rehearse And still the reproaches that come to the lip. For aught that we know we might have done worse. ? Helen Manville. The Arm of the Law. In a certain Canadian city a lady was defending an action for a large sum of money which she felt she was not morally entitled to pay. When it looked as if the case would go against her she sold all her real estate and put the proceeds, some $15,000 or more. In her poeketbook?which in her case, as is the custom with some women, was her stock :ng. The judgment was given agtvinst her. and because she would not pay nor tell where the money was she was sent to jail for a year. Her counsel tried to get her released. The following conversation formed part of the proceedings: "You adroit," said the judge, "that this woman had property to the value of $13,000?" "Yes. your honor." said the counsel. "And * you admit that she sold the property and put the money in her stocking?" "Yes, my lord." "And do you mean to tell me that the arm of the law is not long enougli to reach it?" ' Proof Positive. Former Representative Amos .1. Cuuimiugs of New York was once city editor of the Sun. One Saturday night it was announced that all the saloons were to be closed next day. Cuminings called his star reporter. Murray. "Tom." he said, "go out tomorrow and find out if the saloons are selling liquor." It was Thursday when Tom again appeared at his desk. "They were." he reported. Man's Ideal of Character. Every man has at times in his mind the ideal of what he should be, but* Is not. This Ideal may be high and corarkioto up If Trinv ho nnite low and insuf ficient, ret In all men that really seek to improve it is letter than the actual character. Man never falls ?< low that he can see nothing higher than himself.?^Theodore Parker. Family Secrets. There is ?i most amiable woman in Louisville who is noted among her friends for her habit of "saying things without thinking." Her daughter was entertaining a young man on the front porch, and the mother was standing at the fence talking to the neighbors <next door. In the yard of the latter was a baby a little over a year old, and it wus trying to walk. "You shouldn't let it walk so young," dvl6ed the thoughtless matron. "Wart until it's a little older. I let my daughter walk when she was about that age, and it made her nwfolly bowJegged." The young man began to talk anergetically about the weather.

" An Anatomical Wonder. A certain highly respected congressman makes many queer blunders of speech. A constituent, visiting him recently, complained of the shabbiness of n tiair of ink stained crash trousers that be bad ou. "A man of your position," said the constituent reproachfully, "ought to wear handsomer trousers than those." The congressman, offended, answered reproachfully: "My trousers may be shabby, but they cover a warn and honest heart." His Important Service. An unusually ingenious plea for a tip was that of a small Hibernian. J mentioned by Mr. John Augustus O'Shea in "Roundabout Recollections." ! Xhe author was traveling iu Ireland. I drove dowu to the station 011 the faint chance of catching the train to I Dublin. When I got out of the cab at i the station a bright faced boy accosted 1 me. "All. sure. sir. you've just missed the ' train," he said. It was true. I booked my luggage and ascertained when the next train j would leave. While I was waiting the lad came up to me and asked me for a ' tip. "What for':" I asked. "Sure. sir. I told you that you were too late." he unblusliingly responded. To Be Led by Permanent Ideals.

"Have you read Barrie's or fteade's novels?" she asked. "No; get me one of each and I'll be satisfied," he replied. She selected two and handed them to her spouseless acquaintance, who, after warmly thanking her for the favor ahe had done him, turned up the backs of the books and read these tltlss: "When a Man's Single."
