A Good Name is Money.

A farmers name has a commercial
value as we'll as that of the merchant.
If every man who grows a bushel of
fruit, makes a pound of butter or
cheese, or who. in fact, is to have any
product for home or distant market.
will resolve that he will this year pack
his stuffin the neatest possible form,
pack only. the best, and properly brand
the packages, he may be sure he is
laying the foundation of good name
which will De worth many dollars to
him in the future. Let it be Femem-
bered that the honest commission man
has the same interest in procuring top
market prices as has the producer,
whose goods he handles. He. there
fore, prefers to deal with honest con-
signors, intelligent enough to put up
only the best, and in the most APP
proved manner. When he secures a
patron of this kind he takes extra
mains TO sell to the best advantage.
He trades on the name. The name is
money to him as well as to its owner.
Honest commission men are not pho

Making a Daddy of a Young Man.

Most people have seen the series of
pictures that are used for advertising
purposes, entitled elm daddy. They
are laughable, representing the face of
4 man when he hears the news that his
first born has arrived, also his face
when he learns that there are twins, as
we'll as when he is informed later that
he is the father of triplets, and so on up
10 five children, when his face is q pict-
ure of despair.
The other day Chicago young man,
who is employed in the Office of the
Western News Company, and who new
er was married at all, i'll the whole
course of his life. was aboutto leave the
store, .when friend pinned a picture Of
I'm daddy to his coat un- beknown
to him. He went out, on the way to
his boarding house, and before he had
gone block a stranger said to him :
0What is it?'' The young man looked
at the stranger as though he was q
crank, and passed on. As he got near
the Palmer House a man said to him :
8 Is it boy or a grip" The young
man simply said to the stranger:
ssWhat is the matter with your" and
went on He had not gone far before a
cunning fellow passed him, and with a
smile, said: ''MOther and child as well
as could be expected, 1 supposed" The
young man looked at him savagely, and
began to think everybody was drunk +,
when bootblack shouted: "Say, was
it a surprise party or q picnic?" The
young man chased the boy almost un-
der grip car, and finally reached his
boarding house, when a young lady
who knew him said: This is news to
US. Mr.. w. why had you not told us
you were married." ''StaIried be
hanged" said he, coloriDg up, 81 new
thought of such a thing" 'Then you
ought to be ashamed of yourself" said
the girl, as she unpinned the card and
handed it to him. The young man
spent over eleven dollars 10 have it kept
quiet, but you know how it is about q
story.

Powder isn't shot. Thunder isn't light
ming. If you haVe,ightning you can af-
ford to thunder But do not try to
thunder on an empty cloud. Do rot
scold the people. Do not abuse the
faithful souls who come to meeting rainy
days, because of the others who do not
come. Preach the best to smallest as
semblies. Jesus preached to one wOm-
au at the well, and she got all Samaria
out to hear him next time. Ventilate
your meeting room. Sleeping in church
is due to bad air oftcner than to. bad
manners, Do not repeat sentences, say
ing, Gas said before" If you said it
before, say something else after. Leave
out words you cannot define. Stop your
defamation and talk to folks. Come
down from your stilted and sacred tones
and ''become as little child Change
the subject if it goes hard. DO not tire
yourself and every one else out. Do not
preach till the middle of your sermon
buries the beginning, and is buried by the
end. Look people in he face and live
so that you are not afraid of them. Take
long breaths. Fill your lungs and keep
them full. Stop TO breath before the air
is exhausted Then you will not finish
off each sentence-ah, with q terrible
CASPIAN, as if you were dying for air-ah,
as some good do-ah, and so strain their
lungs-ah and never tird it out-ah, be-
cause their friends dare not tell them alb,
and so leave them to make sport for the
Philistines-ah! Initiate your lungs. It is
easier to run saw-mill with full pond
than it is with an empty one. Be mod
crate at first. Hoist the gate a little
way; when you are half through raise a
little more; when nearly done put on a
full head of water. Aim at the mark.
Hit it! Stop and see where the shot
struck and then fire another broadslde.
Pack your sermons. Make YOUR words
like bullets. A board hurts man worse
if it strikes him edgewise.- Church

SWEET SIXTEEN.
DON'T BE IN HURRY TO GET MARRIED

Be glad you are little girlyet. Keep
your Echildhood as long as you can.
Those days are the happiest you ever
can know in all your life.
You may believe that to be grown up
and to have the pleasure of society will
be better, but you have never made a
greater mistake in your life. With
womanhood comes duties, cares, ankle
ties of which you have no knowledge.
To marry means, generally, to leave
home and begin new life that may be
full OF trials and troubles, pretty as the
bride looks in her wedding fnery.
In these last school days, with no
greater anxiety than your music lessons,
and encompassed by the affection of
your parents, warm and snug in the
home nest, with no more knowledge OF
the outsides world than newly Matched
spring bird has of winter. How many
stylish woman envies you, even as you
envy her gorgeous robes and her train
admirers. Be content. Time will pass
all too quickly You will have many
years in which to wish yourself d little
girl again. Linger on the threshold
where ''wom4nhoOd and childhood
meet" as long as you may. Don't rush
into malrimonY, my dear young ladies.
Enjoy your youth while you can. If you
are but sixteen, don't allow any such
idea to get into your head for at least
four years yet. Don't even run the risk
of it by permitting any young man to
get so far as the proposing point, Fight
him off and make him wait or go to
somebody who is ready. Don't live un-
der the impression that you must accept
the first love-sick youth who proposes.
Be patient, deliberate and sagacious.
There is a world of happiness for you
between sixteen and twenty. The
world would be dreary waste if it were
not for the sweet faces of young girls
with their piquant sayings and melting
smiles. Your father has bought you a
piano, and you have learned how to play
after many long and wearisome lessons.
Don't spoil all by getting married, for
after that you won't have much use for
your piano. After you have reached
twenty it will be well to consider the
matrimonial problem with some serious
ness. And even then if you have good
home. you need be in no hurry to solve
it. Rural New Yorker.
