Do IL MCll.

Whatever you do, do it well. A
Job sighted because it is appear
sntly unimportant leads to habitual
neglect, so that men degenerate in
sensibly into bad workmen.
"That is a rough job" said a
foreman in our hearing recently,
he meant that it was a piece OF
work not elegantin itself, but strong
ly put together.
Training the hand and eye to do
work well leads individuals to form
correct habits in other respects,
and a good workman is, in most
cases, a good citizen. No one
need hope to rise above his pres
ent situation who suffers small
things to pass by unimproved, or
who neglects, metaphorically
speaking, to pick up cent because
it is not a dollar.
Some of the wisest lawmakers,
the best statesmen, the most gifted

chanics, rose from the great mass.

by saying, "You BACKED my faith

lawyer, "and l did it we'll" And
because Of his habit of doing even

How She Got Noah.


A justice of the peace was, the
other day, interviewed by a woman
about 10 years of age, who an
nounced that she would be married
on certain night at her farmhouse,
and his Honor had been selected
to come out and perform the cere-
mony. She asked how much the
fee was, paid it aud took a receipt.
Business concluded, she sat down,
filed a short clay pipe with tobac-
co and INDUCED in a smoke.

His Honor went out last night,
prepared to preform the ceremony
with promptness and goodwill.
He found about dozen persons
assembled at the house, and the
woman looked gorgeous under the
Ii ght of three kerosene lamps. She
had her pipe going, and her face

For more than three weeks she
had had her mind made up for q

"Oh, yes" he answered, and he
soon had twenty pairs before her.
She closely inspected each pair,
from IS up to rs, asked the grade
Of the material in each, and twice
during the fifteen minutes she
seemed on the point Of trying on q
pair.

fastening her eyes on the top shelf.
She was buried in the deepest
thought for long minute, and the
clerk hardly dared draw his breath
Then her eyes gradually dropped
from shelf to shelf, until they rest

said:
