WORDS OF WISDOM


Nature will always take the color of the

To speak evil of person whom you
have ceased to love is to at ones beIittIe

A man can frequently polish lis boots
with better grace than he can polish his
manners.
Cheerfulness is the best prom otter of
health, and as friendly to the mind as to
the body.
Talking and eloquence arc, not the

two things.
Many tramp would be thankful for
cold ham, but none OF them relish the

When we experience the desire to be
caressed we comprehend the necessity of
being amiable.
as riches forsake man we discover
him to be fool: but nobody cauld find

Most natures are insolvent; cannot
satisfy their own wants, have an ambi-
ton out of all proportion to their practi-

CHAPTER I.
Captain John HabIett, in whose truth
fulness we all have implicit confidence,
relates the following story:
One night, several years ago, was a
passenger on a Missouri railway train
that was mercilessly robbed by party
of jeering young wretches who not only
deprived us of our valuables, but who,
during the outrage, subjected us to their
low flung raillery. / was not burden
somely encountered with money. and
gave up, without a pang, the small
amount which had, but when one OF
the rascals told me to take off my watch,
/ filed my motion for an appeal. The
watch, aside from being a gold time
keeper of finest make, had been pre-
sentcd me by dear friend.
''Look here" said /. cant you let
me keep this watch. / suppose you have

strange in your line of business-but

that time. rather liked to hear the sound
of my own voice, and thought that this
little speech, SO applicable and delivered
with such emphasis, should at once gain
my case, but the villain, graceful of form
as we'll as graceless of morals, bowed
profoundly, and replied:
my dear sir, like to hear you talk,
and under ordinary circumstances would
listen to you with only moderate degree
of Impotence, but on this occasion am
really pressed for time. While am &C
commodating, and willing to grant a
hearing to any one dissatisfied with the
manner in which / conduct my affairs,
vet must insist that you pay more at
tention to prompt delivery and less to
oratory. All, " taking my watch, ''jew-

A Fisherman's Fight With an All
gator.

A terrible alligator story comes from
Tabasco. A young fisherman. Juan p.
de los Rios. was attacked by an alliea-
tor that measured eight feet in length.
Rios was bathing in the Usumacinta
river near his boat when he received q
blow on the back. The alligator had
struck him with his tail as he was swim
ming along. Rios was unarmed. but
pulling an oar out Of his boat stuffed it
between the ugly ivories Of the alligator
just as they were about to close on his
arm. The struggle would, however,
have ended disastrously for Rios If he
had not succeeded in climbing into his
boat. Selzing his ak, he split open the
head Of the alligator. In the encounter
Rios was terribly lacerated. TrO Re
