WORDS OF WISDOA.

You should never give advice. If
the person to whom you offer it is
wise he doesn' need it; if he isn't he
wont take it.
No man can be brave who consid-
ers pain to be the greatest evil Of life;
nor temperate, who considerspleasures
to be the highest good.
The passions of men of society diff
fer az much from the passions of the
natural man as the fruit of a grated
tree from those of a wild one.
The keenest abuse Of our enemies
will rot hurt US 80 much in the esti-
nation of the discerning as the inju-
dicious praise of our friends.
Sense can support herself hand
somely in mcst countries for some
eighteen pence day but fantasy,
planets and solar systems will not
suffer.
A man should never be ashamed to
own he has been in the wrong which
is but saying, in other words, that he
is wiser to-day than he was yesterday.
Don't covet the possessions of any
man until you are willing to pay for
them the price which he paid then
you will not need to covet them, for
you can 60 and get them for yourself.
WILLING TO GIVE WAY.-On the
Jefferson Avenue line yesterday q
woman Of fifty made up to look about
twenty five years old, got aboard at a
crossing to find every seat occupied.
She stood for moment, and then Sc
Letting poorly-dreased man about
forty-two years of ago, she obser we'd !:
care there no gentlemen in this
car ?"
Indeed, I dunno" no replied, as
he looked up and down. eff there
hahn tsnd you are going clear through,
I'll hunt up one for you at the end Of
the line"
There was an embarrassing silence
for a moment, and then light broke
on him all of sudden, he rosa and
said:
you can have this eeat, madam,
I'm allus perfectly willing to stand
up and give my seat to anybody older
than myself"
That decided her. She gave him
look which he will not forget to his
dying day, and grabbing the strap
she refused to sit down, even when
FIVE seats had become vacant.

A STRANGERS MISTAKE.

A few days ago western merchant
who wanted to do some sight seeing
and buy his fall stock at the same
time, entered dry goods jobbing
house on Broadway, New York, and
accosted the first person he met with:
care you the proprietor here"
Mot exactly the proprietor" was
the reply. "At present l am acting
as shipping clerk, but I am cutting
my cards for partnership next year
by organizing noon prayer meetings
in the basement"
The stranger passed on to very.
important-looking parsonage with a
diamond pin, and asked:
"Are you the head of the hoase?"
"Well, no; l can't say as | am at
present, but I have hopes of partner
ship in January. I'm only one of the
travellers just now, but I'm laying for
5000 pew in an uptown church, and
that will mean quarter interest here
in less than six months"
The next man had his feet up. his
hat back and twsnty-csnt cigar in
his mouth, and looked so solid that
the stranger said
"You must run this establishment?
"Me? Well, I may run it very
soon, at present I'm the book-keep'r'
but Tn expecting to get into a church
choir with the old mans darling and
become an equal partner here.
The stranger was determined not
TO make another mistake. He walked
around till he found man busy with
his coat off at a case of goods, and
said to him

HOW MIR. SINGER WON A BIBLE

Two young preachers. rivals in the
ministerial profession, met on the
streets of Little Rock, recently, when
Mr.. Singer, the Methodist, remarked
to Mr.. Billings, the Baptist:
GOOD morning, Brother Billings
how do you feel since your labor on
Sunday.
"First-rate. had large audience
and it makes me feel good to think
that the people are turning from
their ways of wickednsss. There
was time in Little Rock, when, if
minister could group together 100
people. he was doing we'll. Ysster-
day had 800, which considering the
number of our churches, is remark
able. l am sorry to learn that your
church is not getting along we'll"
"How do you know that my church
is not getting along well, asked Mr..
Singer.
ooh, we'll I hear so from authentic
sources"
That's all right" continued Mr..
Singer, "lst that 60 for what it is
worth. 1t is, Of course, inconsistent
with our profession to bat, but waiv-
ing for a moment the requirements of
our divine calling, I'll bet you a
Bible that I had a larger congregation
on Sunday than you did"
1.-THE requirements of the divine
calling shall for a moment be waived.
Notwithstanding the fact that am a
preacher am human being all the
same, and do not propose to be bull
ragged Come on and put up your
Bible
The two preachers went into book
store, selected Bibles, and called up a
deacon as a witness.
"Well," said Mr.. Billings, "my con-
gregston last Sunday numbered 300.
l know this to be fact, for | hired
the sexton to count the people"
"My congregation was $780," re-
marked Singer, with confident air.
"Did you count emp"
mo"
"Well, how do You know? Why
your little church won't hold that
many"
"Thats all right. I had congre-
CATION Of 500 Not man got up and
left. There was not the slightest
disturbance, and the three women
who were present behaved them
selves"
"Look here, whore did you preach ?"
II preached to the conyicts at the
penitentiary."
There is new Bible on the stand
at Mr.. Singers house.

WHAT SIZE DID.

When girl concludes to put up
her hair and make herself look sweet,
the best policy is to let her have her
own way. She can't be drawn away
from her mirror by any Of the ordi-
nary things of this life. A fire will
sometimes do it, but it has been
shown that even a fire may fail to
excite some girls. The other night a
New York lodging house took fire,
and at a most uncomfortable hour,
when most girls probably have their
hair own. One Of the young ladies
heard that the place was burning
down, but she didn't feel like making
her appearance before the crowd,
which had gathered in the street,
looking like a perfect fright. She
shut the door leading into the hall
to ksep out the flames and went to
the mirror to FIX her hair. Anybody
who has waited for girl to fix hei
hair knows that it takes time, and a
great deal of it. This girl WASH t
any quicker than the average, and
sho was very particular about having
her hair done up exactly as it should
be. The fire had cut off her chances
of escape by the stairs, and her lover
after appealing to her for some time
finally lost his patience and go1
away without her. A fireman go
up to the room on ladder, and she
made him cit on the edge Of the WIN
dow and wait until she had arranged
her hairpins and ribbons for the
right sort of public appearance, then
she threw herself into his arms
was SO romantic-and slid down tn;
ladder with him, looking just sweet
The whole thing was a tremendous
success, but when the careful youn.
girl was safely landed on the pave
msnt she found, to her horror, tina
she had forgotten her stockings.

FOR YOUNG MEN TO REMEMBER.

The Albany Press urges young
men to remember the following:
That clothes don't make tho man.
That Their fathers know more than
they do.
That if they once in debt they may
never get out of it.
That parting the hair in the MIDI
die brings on softening Of the brain.
That to deal honorably with all
men, they begin with their washer
woman.
That they will need something
more substantial than cigars, Ii ht
kids and cane to start housekeeping
with. s te 5=5 Z" lAt
That they should devote some of
their leisure moments to the improve
ment of their minds if they ever mean
to amount to anything.
That an employer who hears of a
clerk living in style good ways
above his salary, is very apt to show
him the door when he least expects il.
That they can't reckon on their
fathers fortune to bring them through
life. Fortunes are slippery things
better have something besides to fall
hack on.
That girl who decks herself in
the latest things out and parades in
the streets while her mother does the
family washing, isn't worth wasting
much love on.
That a fellow who deliberately
proposes matrimony to girl when
he can't support himself, is either
first. class fraud or fool--uuless he
marries for money and becomes her
"hired man"
That if they wish to fall stark mad
in love with a girl because she is
pretty, they ought to besure how much
powder and paint there may be in
the question, and figure it up accord
ipgly.

REASONS WHY
nOUR EXHALING FLUIDh
AlIeviates and Cures
Certain Diseases

TT is WELL KNOWN BY MICRO
i scopsts that in certain diseases that
the air passages of patients are infested by
thousands and millions of living organisms
called bacteria these are of the lowest
forms of life, yet life they have; thus you
may call them little living destroyers of
life. Thsee are the medium of injection.
The class of diseases in which these
little living germs are playing their death
lypart are: SCARLET FEVER, ASTH-
MA, CATARRH, WHOOPING COUGH,
DIPHTHERIA, GROUP, HAY FEVER
and all other kindred diseases.
To restore health and preserve life these
little pests must be destroyed, and this is
what we claim for "0UR EXHALING
FLUID" to do. Hence its great curative
powers. j. RUHL, M. ID.
