them it they would allow him to take
part in what he called their game.
On receiving their assent he ahghted
made several shots and Won several
quart, rs Of beef. He then inquired /:
w ho are the poorest families in the
neighborhood: On being informed
he sent them all the beef he had won,
with his compliments.
Mounting their horses, they soon ar
rived at u camp IN, etingon the wayside.
There they tarrled several hours.
When the competitor thought it was
about time TO be moving on he search
ed all over the camp ground for Col.
Yell, but could not find him. At
length he went up near the altar and
there stood Colonel Yell, singing at
the top Of his voice: How firm a
foundation, ye saints of the Lord.
The reader can imagine his surprise.
With some difficulty he S cceeded in
getting Colonel Yell out from an ongs

said, I'm off of where:' asked

Don't.

Don't live on the shady side of the
street; flowers need sun.
Don't live in the midst of gloomy
and dark surroundings, you cannot
afford it; economize in some other
way.
Don't live in room with bare walls.
Chromos heliotypes, woodcuts and
prints are all cheap, and for frames
you make them of straw or splits A
cross made beautiful with twining
tentrils of crimson woodbine may sug-
gest that other cross upon which the
hopes of men are placed. A picture
of clasped hands and raised eyes will
suggest the All Father. who hears our
s"pplics tion.-Pictures of sunset
sky, running brook and waving
M adow land, lead us away into the
fresh. still country, even though tie
sound Of drays and railroad whistles
and street Car tinkling bells are in our
ear.
If possible, do not have home with
out music; let it soften and mellow
the home life and hold young hearts
together.
Don't read books and paper which
suggest thoughts you would not utter.
They stain the soul; they burn the
heart. Can you thrust your hand
into SCOT and bring it out white and
clean? Can " SINCE your clothes and
not nave the smell of fire on your gar
ments: Beware of books which are
suggestive of evil thoughts they are
clothed in the purple and gold Of fine
language.
Don't watch for dishonesty and evil
intention in those around Hold every
man honest until proved otherwise
Thus believing in others, you will
draw out of them their best, for men
ordinarily are best to those who be-
lieve in them. Also keep your heart
young and green by faith in your fel-
iOwman.
Lon't forsake your church even
though its privileges are poor. Ser
mons will be helpful influences in
your life. You may only carry away
"a single sentence in sermon, thus:
Make the best of YOURSELF The
sound, too, Of musice will help to drive
away the evil spirit of your soul and
raise you into higher atmosphere,
nearer to truth and to God.
Don't live your life alone, without
forming friendships and love; your
nature needs love, and you are made for
it, and other natures need you. You
are robbing Others if you live a hermit.
Therefore 60 out into Gods world and
live your life out for others.

aging reports were made by the various

he had examined fully into the reports

The Ten Trade.

Chicago, 8.-The report from Wash
ington that the secretary Of the treasury
had ordered samples Of tea arriving IN
San Francisco FOR Chicsgo market shcu d
be sent to New York for inspection be-
fore the tea ia delivered here, hes caused
some talk among those moet interested
here as to the reason for such order and
the influence it Weuld have on the tea
trade IN this city. Ii the report as pub
lished ehouId prove true, that samples
of ali teas arriving in San Francisco con-
sigr ed TO Chiesgo should be sent TO New
York for inspection bsfore tea is delivered
here, would it in any way be detri-
mental to the tea trade ia this city? was
asked Mr. j. w. Doane, one OF the
heaviest importers OF this city. to-dayf
"That would depend good deal on how
it was done; If samples were sent TO New
York ahead of the arrival OF the tea and
examined there without loss Of inns. so
as to allow the tea beiD & delivered here
Immediately on arrival such order would
not make any diffe, ence; but if any delay
was caused in delivery OF tie tea 90
arrival, then it would be injurious to the
interests OF the tea trade We don't
want to have any time lost IN the
delivery OF tea on its arrival. The gentle-
man al stated that the only excuse
which could be cfered was the fact
that no tea inspector had been appointed
for Chicago"
''Are tea interests in this city not of
such importance as to warrant the APP
pointment of al inspector for this place
in any csse2"
ooh, yes; the les i5tefeSt8 of this city
are the largeat in the country. Recent
statistics show that far more tea arrives
Of San FrRpciaco for distribution at
Chicago than strives at New fork. The
amount Of business done is large enough
10 have an inspector here and that one
has not been appointed IL only because,
as have already said, no Inconvenience

cesssry TO have an Inspector here one
will be appointed"
