he looked TO be a tough case. The boys
told him what was wanted, and he walked
down the street to barber shop where
the Port Huron man was waiting TO get

shop, he threw his old hat down, jumped

Some Hawksys Philosophy.

My son, when you hear q man growing
and scolding because Moody gets $500 a
week for preaching Christianity, You will
perceive that he never worries minute
because lngersoll gets $500 night for
preaching atheism. You will observe that
the man who is unntterably shocked be-
because Francis Murphy Is getting $3.50 q
week for temperance work. seems to think
it is all right when the bar keeper takes in
twice as much money in single day. The
laborer is worthy Of his hire, my boy. and
he is just as worthy OF it in the pulpit as
he is upon the stump. Is the man who is
honestly trying to save your immortal 8 u
worth less than the man who is trying his
level best to go to congress? Isn't Moody
doing as good work as Ingersoll? Isn't
John B. Cough rs much the friend OF hu.
manity and society as the bar tender? Do
you want to get all the good in the world
for nothing. so you may be able to pay a
high price for the bad? Remember, my
boy, the good things in the world are al
ways the cheapest. Spring water costs less
than corn whiskey; box Of cigars will
buy two or three Bibles; 8 gallon Of old
brandy costs more than barrel of -four; .
full hand" at poker often costs man
more 10 20 minutes than his church sub
scription amounts to in three years; q State
election costs more than revival OF re-
ligion.
You can sleep in church every Sunday
morning fos nothing, il you are mean en-
ough to deadbeat your lodging in that way
but nap In Pullman costs You 81 every
time; SO cents for the circu sand penny
for the little ones TO put in the missionary
box; 81 for the theater aud pair OF old
trousers. frayed at the ends, baggy N TO
the knees and utterly bursted as TO the
DOME for the Michigan sufferers; the
dancing lady who tries TO wear the skirt Of
her dress under the arms and the waist
around her knees. and kicks her slippers
clear over orchestra chairs every night gets
5000 week, and the city missionary gets
5000 year; and the horse race scoops in
az, 900 the first day, and the church fair
lasts week; works twenty.h five or more OF
the best women in America nearly TO death
and comes ont $40 in debt-why. my boy,
il you ever find yourself sneering or scoff.
ing because once in while you hear Of
preacher getting living, or even q lux
urious salary, or temperance worker
making money, go out in the dark and feel
ashamed Of yourself. and IL you don't feel
above kicking mean man kick yourself.
Precious little does religion and charity
cost the old world, by boy, and when the
money it does get is flung into its face,
like bone to dog. the doner is not bene-
fitted by the gift, and the receiver is uot,
and certainly should not be grateful II
is insulted.

A Dom oralixed Fishing Party.

The young people stopping at a popular
resort have got fishing on the brain, and
they 90 out fishing every chance they get.
They don't care SO much for the fish as
they do to get out on the lake in q boat
where no one can hear them talk love. On
a recent occasion young couple went out
in boat, each armed with pole and line,
some bait, and so forth, and when they
got in quiet place they threw out the
hooks, and while the young man rowed
the boat, the girl watched both poles.
They we're talking Of The days that were
to come, when their two hearts would be
united, and they would be rowing in the
double scull race OF life, fishing for hap
piness. when the young man got hungry
and stopped rowing and leaned forward to
take q kiss. Just as he made the carom
on her kiss center, she jumped about two
feet in the air, grabbed the reel and said

got where he belonged, little bit offended
at a fish that would bite at such On mop
perfume moment, when his pole began to
Jerk, and the line whistled through the
reel, and he said to his girl that she need
not think she had all the bites, as he had
one too. and he began to pull in. 1t seems
she had bass and he had a pickerel, and
as they pulled in their respective fish the
lines got tangled, the boat swung around,
and the lines wound around the fellow and
his girl. They dropped the poles and
reels and tried to pull in the two fish
''hand over hand, but the lines became
more tsut, and before they got the fish into
the boat the young man and the girl were
drawn together so close that they could
both have had bites il they had not been
SO interested in the fish. Finally the young
fellow got his pickerel into the boat, but
il topped up into the girls lap, and she
screamed, and fell over, and the pickerel
kicked her, and by that time the bass was
landed in the boat and got tangled in the
line that WAS around the young mans
shoulder, and it Topped all over his coal
and around on his shirt bosom. They both
yelled murder, and fisherman who wa,
