Letting Ones Light Shine.

There is a good deal of difference bo-
tween letting ones light shine. and let
ting ones self show; and either of the.
two processes may go on Independently
of the other. The unknown worker who
freely expends life, health and money
in the cause of Christ lets his light
shine, even if he does not himself show;
while perhaps another, whose praise is
in all the newspapers, and whose bene-
ficence is a matter of public fame, may,
through a perverted motive, be making
himself show rather than letting his
light shine. True, the command reads:
':Let your light SO shine among men
that they may see your good works and
glorify your Father which is in Heaven
but letting men see your good works
does not necessarily mean letting them
see yourself-does it?-S. S. Times.

A BOY AND HIS DOG.
Their Friendship For Each Other True and
Faithful.

Their Friendship For Each Other True and
Faithful.
A boy and a dog make the greatest
of chums. A boy who owns a dog is
well provided with good company.
They L true friends, and neither
would think of such a thing as going
back On the other. Their friendship
for each other is true and faithful, If
you meet one you are pretty sure to see
the other near by, and if one gets into
a quarrel, the other is sure to take a
hand in it. Did you ever notice a bow
and a dog that have been together any
length of time? Of course YOU have.
Why, they understand each other as
well, and better, in fact, than two bows
would. The dog knows exactly what
his little master means when he speaks,
and will stick up his ears, turn his
head on n side, then on the other.
and look the boy square in the face
with an all but human expression IN
his countenance when he is being
talked to: 1t is, Glove me-, love nv
dog" with every boy. To insult one
is to insult the other, and an insult to
each is resented by both. Why, YOU
could no more buy that dog of his
young master than you could hire him
to kill his best friend. The wag of that
dogs tail is of more value to the bow
than anything else, aside, may be, his
mothers love, in the world. A dog is
a most excellent companion to give a
boy. That dumb brute will be true
even to death to the boy, and his faith
fulness to his young friend does, to a
certain extent, create a true and faith
ful disposition in the boy toward his
friends. A boy is generally in good
company when he and his dog 90 out
into the woods and fields, ahd the
parent has a reasonable feeling of Sc
curity for the boy in such COMPANY

ONE WAY Of DOING coo,

In h Manifestation Of Christian Gu
Will ''od'
There is a way of doing good which
requires no organization and no contr;.
buttons of money, and yet just as surelv
deserves the attention and active effort
of kind-hearted people of means. In
every city and town there are philan-
thropic men and women who own horses
and carriages, and they are often M
zled to know how to employ than,
enough to keep the well-fed animal il
good condition. The horses need eyer'
else, and suffer for the want of it. Now
let us whisper a word in the ear of these
puzzled owners of fine equipages.
In the place where you reside thero
are excellent Christian women to whom
a carriage ride once or twice a week
during the summer would be a luxury
beyond expression. More than that, f
would often NEAR to them health
vigor, ever life itself. They are wiye,
and mothers, burdened with the cares
of households, without even the one
"maid of all work. to ease their toll
They are not the kind who benefit hy
charitable enterprises. If offered such re-.
lief they would not accept it. They are
not quite poor enough for that, though
too poor to indulge in the luxury Of
hiring a conveyance for pleasure-ridine.
Here two needs meet Your horses
need exercise, and these good women
need an occasional health-giving ride.
Remembering the Pauline admonition.,
"As ye have opportunity, do good unto
all, especially to them that are of the,
household Of faith" send your idle
equipage, with a kindly message, to
these overburdened women, and there
will be a blessing alike for the one that
gives and the one that takes. Even if
the fortunate owner is off at a summer
resort this work of mercy can be per.
formed, in case the carriage is left be.

with a list of persons to be taken out.
and directed to exercise the horses in
this way rather than by parading about
in solitary state. with the one selfish
object of keeping the pampered Great
ures in condition.
We are persuaded that here is a field
for Christian goodwill that has not
been sufficiently cultivated. 1t does not
involve much sacrifice. 1t is a homely
service. Yet none the less it is one Of

thetic Sketch.
The train went laundering out Of
town, its locomotive draped with white
and black ribbons on every rod and
place where shining brass vas shown.
A woman and a little girl stood at the
gate that opened on the right-of-way
in the suburbs, waving their handker-
chief to a man who leaned from the
c%ab-window to greet them as the train
would speed by. 1t was the husband
and father, who had been given the
fast run since the engineer of old SO was
killed by the breaking down of the
bridge near Riverton.
81 am so glad papa has been pro-
noted" said the little girl, ''for now
he is getting better wages and can buy
us such very nice clothes.n
"My child, did you notice those
asked the mother.
81 saw them, mamma"
do you know what they mean, my
childe"
1.-The engine is in mourning for its
dead engineer"
"My child, your papa is no more
safe than was the brave man whose
place he has taken. 1t makes me
shudder to see the monster plunging
along with those sad emblems of what
another woman and another child have
suffered because they builded high
hopes upon its speed. My child. I
shall never feel thankful until the
SO is out of mourning"
For a week the noble engine
screamed a call to the loved ones of
the engineer every morning as it left
the city, and in the evening when
it returned, and the. engineer
saw the light in his window
while yet away down the track, he
sounded the whistle again, and as he
approached. had the fireman cheerily
ring the bell while he leaned out of the
window and waved them call is WE'LL"
and then, after he had delivered his
engine into the hands of the hostler,
his footsteps soon sounded on the pave
ment and his wife and child met him
at the door.
One night the whistle sounded at the
crossing, and as the engine drew near
the city its hoarse note broke upon the
ears of the engineers wife and child
in a long, piercing wall that seemed to
warn them that all was not right, and
as the belated train flew past their cot
tage they heard no merry ringing of
the bell, and the man in the cab made
no sign to them. 1t was the old en-
gine-their beloved 98-but something
had gone awry. There had been a
collision, which, though it had not dis
abled the engine had driven the occu-
pants of the cab to jump, and both had
been killed.
The next morning, a crowd of SYM
pathizing friends stood about the door
of the engineers cottage and separated
as a hearse came down the street and
stopped before the door while they
lifted the dead engineer out and car
ried his encot1ined form across the lit
tie lawn, and as the train came out of
the city, they saw that its engine was
draped in mourning anew, and it's bell
tolled sadly as it slowly passed the
home of its dead master, and the new
engineer and fireman stood with I'M
covered heads while the bereaved
mother and daughter sadly waved their
hands as they have waved them daily
ever since.-Bloon1ington Through Mail.

DIR. Delaunay, an eminent French
physician, says that the most general
position in sleep is on the right side.
Dreams which come to a sleeper in
that position, he says, as a rule are il

agggeration. Those which come to a
sleeper who lies upon his left side, in

absurd, but also more intelligent. They
