covered on fire. The fire company were

form, and asked her to live with him
She refused, and he killed himself
We have read somewhere that we shoulc
forgive seventy and seven times. Were

husbands blood would be upon oul
hands. Her life was not in danger. Sht
could have given him at least one oppor
tunity to prove that he had repented O.
his misdeeds.
-Selfshness is sin of many forms
and is also most besetting sin. Many
persons inherit it as they do bad blood
and they try to reaah all they can, ant
absorb all they reach. The only questio,
that ever interests them is, will it pa,
:. me. There are business men in Austil
who are described in the above. The,
are stumbling blocks in the way of ev
cry public enterprise, and are an injur,
to any town. Will it pay me, personally
is their only thought, not will this enter
prise benefit our town, and thereby bene
fit me.

THE PILLOw-sHAM HOLDER-Som
enemy of mankind has recently invente
an internal machine known as the pillow
sham holder, which is attached to tn
head of the bedstead and works with
spiral spring. 1t is kind of refine
towel-rack on which you hang your phi
low shams at night, SO they won't &c
busted by the man of the house. Tn
man of the house generally gets the pill
low-shams down under his feet when b
undresses and polishes off his cunning
little toes on the lace poultice on whicl
his wife prides herself. The pillow shan
holder saves all this You just yank you
pillow sham off the bed and hang it o.
this high-toned sham holder, where it rest
all night.-BiW Nye. e,.... - @ae

use, we've got 'em-and We want ever
one else to 60 and do likewise, RICH
