What was his Other Name.

Greeley? Greeley ?" said Artemus,
"Horace Greeley? = ho is he"
The man was quiet about five min
utes. Pretty scon he said:
George Francis Tain is kicking
up a good deal of n row over N Eng.
land; do you think they will put hi:@@
in bastile?'
Train, Train, George Francis

Tins ignorance kept the man quiet
for fifteen minuIes, then he said:
"What do you think about General
Grants chances for the Presidency ?"
"Grant, Grant hang it man." said
Artemus, ''ynu appear to know more
strangers than any man l ever saw"
The man was furious; he walked
up the car, but at last came back and
said @ a 1s
"You confounded igncramus, did you

The garter is an old aud cherished
institution; and, although the elastic
invention with the buckle has been ad-
dopted by many city bellies, the free
born and unconventional country girls
still stick to twine and tape and other
strings-some even using as tie the
primitive wisp of straw. We will have
none of this new-fashioned hip-attach-
ment gearing. We are true to our
ancient ties. 1t is a direct assault up.

our gartered rights-and we will resent
it while we have leg to stand on.
Ladies, be true to your stockings.

The Chime Of Bells.

Rev. DIR. Adams, in his beautiful
hook on Thanksgiving Memories, Z"
gives us the following incident: in
the Cathedral of Limerick there hangs
chime of bells which was cast in TIA.
ly by an enthusiast in his trade, who
fixed his home near the monastery
where they were first hung, that he
might daily enjoy their sweet and sol
emn music. In some political revolu-
ton the bells were taken away to a
distant land, and their maker himself
became a refugee and exile. His wan.
derings brought him, after many years,
to Ireland. On calm and beautiful
evening, as the vessel which bore him
Aoated on the placid bosom of the
Shannon, suddenly the evening chimes
pealed from the cathedral towers. His
practiced ear caught the sweet sound,
and he knew his lost treasu ers were
found. His early home, his old friends,
his beloved native land, all the best
associations of his life were in those
sounds. He laid himself back in the
boat, crossed his arms across his breast,
and listened to the music. The boat
reached the wharf, but still he lay
there, silent and motionless. They
spoke to him, but he did not answer
They went to him, but his spirit had
fled. The tide of memories that came
vibrating through his heart at that
well-known chime, had snapped its
strings!'
And So, sometimes, in after life,
when the feet of wayward man have
strayed far away from the home of his
youth, and his heart has wandered far
from his fathers God, some memory
of the past, like the sweet, sad melody
of the evening chime, may wake long
slumbering echoes and stir long-sealed
fountains; and fathers counsels and
a mothers prayers will come up again
from the sacred burial places OF the
past. with wondrous power to melt and
win the hayward heart.

the white spray, far, far below him a
hundred phantoms beseech him to
come to them. A pause, for an instant
only he whispered something-was it a
prayer? A quick, terrible leap-then,

The greatest American preachers
wrote their sermons, especially the ser.
mons which shared the thought of
their times and made inefiaceable i'm
pressons on the minds of their hearers.
EXtemporaneous sermons are for i'm.
mediate but not lasting influence. Ed.
wards, Alexander, Channin, and the
elder Beecher, wrote the sermons by
which they are remembered, and by
which their ideas lived after they had
ceased to preach. Henry Ware, the
younger, sometimes wrote and read his
sermons, sometimes extemporized. The
written sermons made the deepest i'm

Of too much talk, o parsons Ifa man

word he utters, for what a number of
such loud nothings, windy, emphatic
tropes and metaphors. spoken not for
Gods glory but for the preachers will
many a cushon-thumper have to an

X, who is given to exaggeration,
made a statement one evening at the
table which was so fabulous that he
felt himself that he had gone a little
too far. Turning to one Of the guests
who seemed to be smiling slightly, he

The most popular female writer of
America, whose great novel struck
chord of universal sympathy through
out the civilized world, has habits of
composition peculiarly her own, and
unlike those belonging to any author
of whom we have record. She croons,
so to speak, over her writings, and it
makes very little difference to her
whether there is a crowd of people
about her or whether she is alone dur
ing the composition of her books.
"Uncle Toms Cabin" was wholly pre-.
pared for the press in little wooden
house in Maine, from week to week,
while the story was coming out in a
Washington newspaper. Most Of 1t
was written by the evening lamp on Il
pine table, about which the children
of the family were gathered together
coming their various lessonS for the
next day. Amid the busy hum of
earnest voices, constantly asking qucs,
tions of the mother, intent on her
world renowned task, Mrs. Stowe wove
together those thrilling chapters which
we're destined to find readers in so
many languages throughout the globe
No work of similar Importance, us far
as we know. was ever written amid so
much that seemed hostile to literary
eomposition.-Jas. 7. Field.
"WHTsKEY HAS USED HIM UP."-
There is scarcely a community or
neigsbor5nod from Maine to Oregon
where this saying is not used almost
every day in the gear, and altogether
too truly. A subject OF this kid is
to be found in almost every town. The
merchant has failed and whiskey has
dnne it. The lawyer with brilliant
talent and large business has fallen
below the range of respectability and
confidence; whiskey was the cause.
The politician with bright prospects
before him has played out, and the
account is charged 10 whiskey. The
Judge Of talent, age and respectahility
is the subject of private and neighbnr,
hood talk. His enemies point with
derision, and his friends hang their
heads in shame, and whiskey has done
il. That kind hearted and hard work
ing man has become a pest in society
and trouble to his family v hiskey has
beat him. Whiskey will beat any
man living, and that is just what it is
made for
1t is impossible to predict the ex.
treme prices TO which timber may ad
vance before the present generation
passes away. We have statement
from an English paper Of prices real
ized for thirty oak trees sold at auc-
tinn in Burg glley Park, as follows ::
One tree brought $3.50, another S3l0.
third 1924 the whole thirty brought
$4,000, averaging $3.50 each. These
must have been large trees, but small.
er trees are proportionately valuable.
There is but little doubt that within "A
century or less timber will be as scarce
in America as it is now in Europe,
and il is not probable that a sufficient
substitute will ever be found to occupy
its place in the industries Of mankind.
Therefore plant trees, and plant the
right sort, especially those most re,
quired in building.
A Louisville lady who wanted to
marry another man, but couldn't wait
for divorce, sent her husband down

pitcher Of cider. When he got the
cider drawn she yelled murder" he
