Bill Apps View Of Life.

We had a good, cd fashioned
country dance last night, and don't
feel any worse this morning for it.
We had young people and middle
aged people and old people, and
those of lis who didn't trip on the
light fantastic toe sat in the broad
piazza and talked and looked on
and enjoyed ourselves all the same
as we used to do when the gush
and vigor of youth were upon us.
What blessed thing it is that kind
nature takes away our desire for
trohc as we grow older, and begin
to wear the sere and yellow leaf. |
don't care to dance now that the
spring IN my extreinities is gone
aud there's lead in my shoes, AMI
I don't lament that old age is
creeping on me, for l have many
new pleasures, and one of these is
to look on and see other people
happy. Enjoy your dav, whether
it be IN youth or old age; enjoy
every day, make most of t get all
ont of life y"u car. ft Won't pay
to always be hankering after some
thing or grieving over troubles
that haven't come, and may never
come know people who LET the
dark side of life cheat 'em out OF
every days happiness, who ponder
and fret over little troubles until
they swell up like dried apples and
get to be big ones, and they can't
eat or sleep in any peace.
Lite to them IS a grirsdstone, and
the grit OF it is always cutting away
little bv little until there's nothing
left, Enjoy the day !; get some
good out of 1t even if it's nothing
but contentment for good health

bank established-one receiving
deposits daily and hourly, with no
costly machinery to manage it
The idea OF saving is pleasant
one and if the women inbibed it
at once, they would cultivate it,
and adhere to it, and thus when
they are not aware of it, they
would be laying the foundation OF
a competent security in stormy
time. The woman who sees to heI
own home has larg house te
save in. The best waye for her te
comprehend it is to keep an ac-
count of all current expenses
Probably not one woman in ter
has an idea how much are the ex-
penditures of herself and family
Let the housewife take the idea
act upon it, and she will save some
thing where before she thought i
impossible:

A Story BY the Late President.
RELATING THE INCIDENT OF HIS FIRST
MEETING WITH DIR. BLISS.

WAsHlNGToa, September 21--
Until General Garfield was remov-
ed to Long Branch Steward Crulnp
was one OF his most faithful nurses.
HE was always cheerful, said Mr..
Crumr to-day, and had SO much
nerve. Why, he used to astonish
me at his jokes, even while he was
suffering horribly
sDid he suffer q
4 should say lie dld. The first
week or ten days It was his feet.
He KEEP. saying: ooh, my feet feel
as though million needles were
being run through thcm..' I used
to squeeze his feet and toes IN both
ray hands as hard as I possibly
could, and that seemed the only
reliet he could get. Thc day he
was shot and ou Sunday he kept
talking all the time, but Monday
he let up some, and on Tuesday
morning the doctors shut down on
his talking. On Sunday morning,
just after the big crowd of doctors
had cleared out, | was alone with
the General and Dr.. Bliss. The
doctor sat on one side of the bed
and | was on the other. General
Gar neld had hold of DIR. Bliss
hand, and turned his head and
asked me if / knew where he first
saw DIR. Bliss. l told him | did
rot, and he said then that he would
tell me. He said when he was a
youngster and starting for tie col
lege at Hiram he had Just fifteen
doliars--a ten dollar bill in an old
black heather pocket-bouk which
was IN the breast pocket OF his coat
and the other five was III his trcu-
sers pocket He said he was foot
ing it up the road, ard as the day
was hot he took off his coat and
carried 1t on his arm, taking good
care to feel every moment or two
for the pocket-book, for the hard
earned fifteen dollars was to pay
his entrance fee at the college. AT
! ter a while he got to thinking over
what college lite would be like and
forgot all about his pocket.book for
some time, and when he looked
again found 1t was gone. He went
back mournfully along the road,
hunting on both sides for the pock
et-book. After while he came to
house where a young man was
leaning over gate and who asked
him as he came up, what lie was
hunting tor. Garfield explained
the loss and described the property
when the young man handed il
over. The President by this time
was laughing and concluded
THAT young man was Bliss, WASN'T
it, doctor q The doctor laughed
and said Yes and when General
Garfield said 'He saved me for coli
lege,' answered Yes ard may be
if | had not found your ten dollars
you would not have been President
of the United States The Presl-
), dent laughed at that and said that
if he got we'll and made any mis-
takes in his administration Bliss
would have to take the blame
