Wanting In Grit.
At cme of the fashionable seaside resorts
on a beautiful evening last summer
a handsome couple promenaded
the bench until thev werp tired and
theD threw themselves ou the sand
^ to rest. The young woman watched
the waves, while the young man toyed
with the moonlit sand, tossing it from
hand to band.
"Reginald, dear, you puckered up
your lips just then as if you were going
to kiss me." 6aid the beautiful
ture languorously us she glanced
ier companion.
Intended to." replied Reginald
tatingly. "but I seem to have got
some sand Id my mouth."
"For heaven's sake, swallow It." exclaimed
the young lady. "You need it
badly in your system!"
It Pays.
It pays to wear a smiling face
And laugh our troubles down.
For all our little trials wait
Our laughter or our frown.
Beneath the magic of a smile
Our doubts will fade away
As melts the frost in early spring
Beneath the sunny ray.
It pays to make a worthy cause
By making tt our own.
To give the current of our lives
A true and noble tone.
It pays to comfort heavy hearts
Oppressed with dull despair
And leave In sorrow darkened lines
A gleam of brightness there.
?Fannie E. Emmis.
A Bridal Tour.
At & fashionable wedding in a southern
bWy the contracting parties were
a wealthy widower and a handsome
young lady, and a faithful old servant
who bad llTed with the first wife
all her married life was reporting the
festivities confidentially the next morning
to a neighbor.
When she finished a fellow servant
asked, 'is he going to take a bridal
tour?"
The old woman looked startled and
then, glancing around to see that no
i one was near, whispered. "Well. I
V don't know ez be will take a bridle to
her If she gets cantankerous, but he
Tgure did take a strap to the other one."
A Tragedy at the Parsonage.
A present of a pair of chickens to a
cot^try parsonage where there were a
largd family ard a small Income was
an event, and the youngest two children
(who were usually put to bed
with a simple meal> were promised a
snare m tne ramuy treat; uui, uuiurtunately.
two neighboring ministers (
dropped in. and the children's mother
had to compromise with the little peo- |
pie. A promise of candy pacihed them
to wait until the older people were
through.
'At the table the chicken was fast
disappearing, when the door, which 1
had been suspiciously creaking for
- some time, was Sang wide open. Two
faces glared at the visitors, while two
jtchildish voices shonted In unison: "Go
^ ahead; tbafs right! Eat it all up.
bogs!"
Wonderful.
A German university doctor, desiring
to see a bird catcher exercise his employment,
accompanied him to the
field. As soon as be saw the birds he
hallooed in Latin:
"There they are!"
The birds took the alarm. The 1
sportsman, indignant at the absurdity '
of the professor, told him of it in very
plain terms.
"My good friend." exclaimed the doctor
in great astonishment, "who would 1
have imagined that birds would under- ]
stand Latin?'
An Injustice.
An order prohibiting gambling among
the enlisted men detailed at the West
Point Military academy caused, it 1
would appear, uqucd trouDie lor certain
of the soldiers there. An old
sergeant of a negro regiment who was |
sent to tbe post suggested a game of
craps soon after his arrival. Other
soldiers told bim of tbe rale against
gambling and refused to join in tbe
game. "Dls yere ain't right." said tbe
new arrival, "an' Ab'll see de cap'n
'bout it." Dpon being admitted to tbe
commanding officer's room tbe ser
geant said, with some show of beat:
"Cap'n. Ab understand that gambiln'
ain't 'lowed here no mo'."
"That's correct," said tbe officer.
"Well, dat's a injustice to enlisted
men. sab. 'cause I's got a large family
to suppo't"
True Religion.
True religion growB more and more
anxious to declare that religion is not
something foreign to humanity; that it
is simply the fullest utterance of human
life; that all human life which
is not religious falls below itself.?
Phillips Brooks.
First Aid to Illiterates (
Uncle Joe Cannon bad an amusing
experience with a waiter in a Kansas
caty hotel during his last visit to that
>&ty. Being in no mood to select his
dinner, he had tossed aside, after a
glance, the menu presented to him by
bis waiter, saying:
"Bring me a good dinner."
Incidentally Uncle Joe slipped tbe
pan a Dig tip m advance.
This repast proving satisfactory, the
speaker pursued the same plan during
the remainder of his stay In Kansas
City. As he was leaving the servitor
remarked earnestly as he helped him
on with his overcoat:
"I beg your pardon, sir, but when
you or ahy of your friends that can't
read comb to Kansas City just ask for
Tom."

Forgiveness.
Now bury with the dead years conflicts
dead.
And with fresh dayr let aH begin anew. '
Why longer amid shriveled leaf drifts
tread
When buds are swelling, flower sheaths
peeping through?
Seen through the vista of the vanished
years
How trivial seem the straggle and the
crown!
How vain past feuds when reconciling
tears
Course down the channel worn by vanished
frown!
How few mean half the bitterness they
speak!
Words more than feelings keep as still
apart.
And in the heat of passion and of plqoe
The tongue is far more cruel than the i
heart.
Since love alone makee It worth while to
live
Let all be now forgiven and forgive.
?Alfred Austin.
Two Hits to 8pare.
A baseball game was played In Topeka
once between the married men 1
and the bachelors.
A man named Flood came to bat |
The pltcber put over a straight one. j
and Flood knocked the ball over the
fence.
Instead of starting for first base
Flood braced himself and stood stock
still.
"Run. you Idiot!" screamed the spectators.
"Run! Why In blares don't yon
run?"
"Run?" calmly queried Flood. "What
would I run for? I've got two more
clouts at It!"?Saturday Evening Poet.
Burn Your Own 8moks.
The first lesson of life Is to burn our
own smoke?that Is, not to Inflict on
outsiders our personal sorrows and
petty morbidness, not to keep thinking
of ourselves as exceptional cases.

VI.?How Is Your Front ?
A frontless man
Is an "also ran,"
Bnt the man with the front,
He gets there!
The author of this poem is unknown.
He wasn't strong on versification,
but he was long on horse sense. He
knew that the winners in life are
THE ONES THAT PUT UP THE
BEST FRONT.
It's just the same with a town.
IT MUST HAVE A FRONT. Everybody
living in it or doing business
in it should boost at all times and
in every place.
One of the best ways to boost is
to boom your own business by
EVERY KIND OF ADVERTISING
v.
THAT IS PROFITABLE. Other people
will realise that yon are living
in a live town and move in.
We are doing what we can to put
np a front for our town. Lend a
hand, or, better still, let ns help yon
do it
The right kind of stationery will
help yonr business front and the
front of the town.
DON'T BE AN "ALSO RAN" in
yonr business. Don't let yonr town
?i<ni?d "am rmsr those men
tioned." When a new business or
the opening of a new factory it under
discussion get up to the front.
Arranging and repairing business
fronts is our specialty.

Difficult Scriptures on Hell.
A little book selling at only ten
cents,postpaid, is having a very wide
circulation ? running up into the
millions. It contains some very startling
information respecting the
meaning of the word Hell. It claims
to demonstrate, both from the Hebrew
and the Greek of our Bible,
that Hell is not a place of eternal
torment, but merely another name
for the tomb, the grave, the state
of death. It effects to show that
man was not redeemed from a faroff
place of eternal torture, hut
quotes the Scriptures proving that
he was redeemed from the grave
at the cost of his Redeemer's life
and that the Scriptural hope, both
for the church and the world, is a
resurrection hope based upon the
death apd- resurrection of Jesus. The
book"" 'ainly worth the'reading.
The in. ition it furnishes is certainly
valuable,far beyond its trifling
cost. Order it at once from the Bible
and Tract Society, 17 Hicks St,
Brooklyn, N Y.
