LIFE'S QUIET WAY.
clip high-climb bing thoughts,
The wings Of swelling pride;
Their fate is worst that from the height
Ofgreater honor slide.
Silk sails Of largest size
The storm doth soonest tear;
bear SO low and small sail
AS freeth me from fear.
I wrestle not with rage
While fury's fame doth burn;
It is in vain to stop the stream
Until the tide doth turn.
But when the fame is out,
Aud ebbing wrath doth end,
turn late enraged foe
Into quiet friend.
And, Taught with often proof,
A tempered calm find
To be most solace to itself,
Best cure for angry mind.

LATENT POWER.

A drop of water is wonderful thing. Its
possibilities are almost beyond conception
TO the casual observer it is the most nsigni6
cant phenomenon in nature. 1t is more fra
gile than dust; touch Of the finger will
dissipate it; flower root will drink it up
spark of fire will dissolve it. Yet it con.
ceals in its heart the thunder bolt. For it is
composed of hydrogen and oxygen, and
when these suddenly unite to form water,
they emit the lightning flash, attended by the
most startling peal of thunder.
Within its frail circumference it incloses a
reservoir of heat of sufficient intensity TO fuse
the most stubborn metal For the oxy-hy.
drogen blow.pipe produces the most intense
heat known to US. 1t needs only to be sub
jected to fire to develop this latent power.
1t ncloses in its bosom all the qualities that
give beauty to universal nature. Let beam
of sunlight through it, and instantly you have
all the rainbow colors that adorn the leaf, the
flower, the landscape, and the human face.
All this power and beauty are latent, as
you see it resting on a leaf where nights
dewy wing has left it; but place it in the
path of the electrical current, or on coal of
fire, or in sunbeam, and instantly they be-
come apparent.
Like the drop of water is the true Chris
tau. Meek as lamb; gentle as dove ;
iuoFensive as the gossamer insect he may ap'
pear. to the unthinking gazer, yet in that
soul is pent up all the powers that are moving
the race ON to glorious destiny.
By himself he is no force at all. The sou
of thunder is there, but he needs to be brought
in contact with the tongue of fire to manifest
it. The winning and resstless fervor and
zeal are there but he needs to walk in the
midst of the fiery furnace with the Son of
God to glow and melt hearts like his. The
heavenly beauty and splendor are there, but
it needs the beams Of the Son of Righteous.

THAT'S ALL.

A small, dapper, bilious looking man,
with little eyes, long nose, and pointed chin,
rushed into book store on Court avenue,
Des Moines, Iowa, recently, and asked one of
the clerks if they had book entitled "Reve-
ries of a Bachelor" The clerk, who was
very obliging, as all clerks in that store are,
began to look for the desired article. He
went over every shelf where it was likely
to be, but could not find it upon any of them.
Then he went down in the basement-the
bilious looking man following him-snd dove
down to the bottom of several boxes of books
that had been laid by for want of demand for
them, secured the shelves, searched the draw
er. but found it not. Then he went up to
the second floor and resumed his search
among more old books, unpacking several
boxes, and overturning large quantity of
goods. He was about to give up the search,
and told the man he didn't believe the book
was in the store But the man said he wished
he would find it if possible so the clerk went
up into the third story and prowled around
again for half an hour, and finally fish
ed it up out Of the dust in little box
away off in one corner of the top row of
shelves, after search of an hour. He brush.
ed the dust from the cover, and said: Eyes,
here it is; $3.50 you can have it for 1926"
"Oh, don't want to buy it," said the
bilious-looking man.
"Don't want to buy it?" said the clerk
"why didn't you say SO an hour ago?" Why
did you make me search 50 long for an arti
Gle you don't want to buy? My time is val
liable, and my employer expects Inc to put il
to profitable use."
"Well, you see," quietly remarked the
man, II made bet with Jeff Crandall
He said l couldn't find the book in De-
Moines, and I bet him S. could, and have
won the b. That's all. Sorry to trouble you
so much" And the man wended his way
down stairs again. When he had gone the
clerk thought how happy he would be to gel
an invitation to that mans funeral
