"Only girl On roller skates,
Only female defying the fates;
Only step or two out on the floor;
Only this, then something more
Only man on the backward glide,
With hand outstretched and feet spread wide;
Only bold dash. then dull thud.
Only scream that would curdle your blood
Only mingling Of stripes in air,
Only a shower of auburn hair;
Then she sat on him by the ton
Never was man 40 sat upon"

COurting by freight.
Merchant TraCeEer.

Uncle Davy, was giving the boys
some advice in their love-making af-
fairs, and one of them asked him how
the young people did when he was
sparkling. "Them was great times,
boys" he said in reply, ''great times.
We didn't have no gas, no kerosene,
nor no new-fangled notions, and we
done our sparkin' by plain tallow dip,
but most frequently just by the freight.
freight is warmin', boys, and fickers
just enough to make girls eyes shine
and the peach-blossom glow on her
cheeks. It's mighty soft and purity, too,
and kinder reaches out and melts two
hearts together in a way none of your
gaslightS knows anything about. Some
times the fire shined up little too
powerful in places and the young man
would get up without sayin' anything
and put shovelful of ashes on it. Then
he would cuddle up to the girl in the
shadow and she would cuddle some,
too, and it really didn't seem like there
was anything else in the whole big
round earth to be wished for. Purity
soon the fire would get obstreperous
again, and the little flames would twin
kle in and out, as if they wanted to see
what was goin' on, or had seen and was
laughin' and winkin' about it and hav-
in some fun, too, and the young fellow
would reach for the shovel and the ashes
and cover the bright blazes all up. And
sometimes remember, now only some
times-the girl would get up and put
ashes on, and then-well, boys, when
the blue birds come in the spring, and
the ishin' worms crawled out of the
ground, and the boys set on the green
banks of the little creek waitin' for a
bite, and the johnnyjumpups nestled
in the sunny places, there was a we'd
din in the old house, and the purity
bride wore apple blossoms in her hair,
and the awkward young fellow blushed
in his store clothes and tight boots,
and when the winter came they sot by
their own fire, and the shovel and the
ashes was out of job."

How Preachers are Supported in
Texas.
Terna 2iftinns.

1eIds OTfangs.
Sam Rathbun, Galveston grocer,
meeting Rev. Caleb Powers, asked him:
"How is your church coming on7"
"Poorly, very poorly. The debt is
steadily increasing. I have had no coal
this winter. My landlord has given
me permission to select another dwell
ing. My salary has not been paid for
the last six months. I am actually suf-
fering for pair of new Shoes"
"The trouble with you preachers is
that you have not got any business
sense. Now, 1 can give you hint how
to make lots of money, SO that the
church will grow like green bay tree,
on legitimate basis, and you need
never miss another meal, or wear any
more old Clothes"
"What is your plan7"
"Utilize your advertising facilities.
If you will allow me to hang sign on
the pulpit, to the effect that give a
pound and half more sugar to the
dollar than any other grocer, 1 will give
you twenty-five dollars a month. If
you will shove my business card in all
the hymn books, l will pay you ten
dollars more"
"Why, that is shocking! !"
81 thought you would say so, but is
there anything more sinful in that than
organizing a snide rattle to swindle young
men out of hard-earned salaries?"
"That is a different thing"
eyes, suppose it is. 1t is felony,
and my scheme is honest and legitimate; /;
but I'll make you another proposition.
You want to spread the Gospel, and l
want to spread my business. Now, if
you will let me hang up advertising
cards all over the church, telling people
where they can get the boss five cent
cigar, and Texas molasses that has no
glucose in it, I will let you put as many
pious notices as you want to in my
store"
"Sir, this is trihing with holy things.
l would not listen to such proposition
for moment"
"Ofcourse it is, but you would charge
fifty cents for chance at one poor oys-
ter drowned in five gallons of skim
milk at a church fair. You preachers
have got no real good sense. If you
would mention in your sermon that my
fine cut chewing tobacco is in every
body's mouth, l would print your hours
for holding church service on my paper
bags and we both would be helped, but
l suppose that's sinful, too. That would
fill your church in no time, and you
might do power of good in saving
sinners; but you can't see it, although
you instigate minded females to
peddle out colicky lemonade at twenty
cents glass at a festival. Just think
over it. By the time your landlord has
had another conference with you on
spiritual topics, perhaps you will be
willing to mention in your sermon that
l give you five candles for quarter,
and then you can get ten dollars worth
of groceries from my store, and no
questions asked"

She Was q Good Wife.
Detroit Free Press.


Tones was we'll aware that his wife
was in the habit of rihing his pockets
when he was asleep, but, like a wise
man, he kept silence on the subject.
One night, however, he awoke and
caught her in the act.
"Ha!" he exclaimed, "what are you
doing, my dear ?"
The lady started, her cheeks flushed,
the pantaloons dropped from her grasp,
and she was about to make a full con-
fession when a bright idea entered her
head. Recovering her composure she
said:
sI was looking to see whether your
pantaloons needed any buttons"
"They do, they do, my DEAR" ne
exclaimed, springing from bed, "needed
'em for weeks, months, and 1 wondered
why you didn't sew 'em on; but wait
ed, for was sure you would get to it
some time. And how kind of you to
get out of bed at this time of night to
attend to 'em. Say what you will,
there's nothing in the world like good
wife. Let me turn up the gas little,
SOS you'll have all the light you want
| in sewing 'em on. Got your needle
and thread and the buttons2 No7 Well,
tell me where they are and I'll get them
for you"
Mrs. Jones proceeded to sew on the
buttons, while her husband sat on the
side of the bed and encouraged her with
words of praise for her wifely care and
thought for his comfort, occasionally
remarking that go where he would he
would always say there was nothing ir
the world like good wife.
Then he went to the wardrobe anc
brought out several pairs of trousers,
coat, two or three old vests and mum
Der of shirts, from all of which buttons
were missing, and cheerily observed
"While we're at it We'll make night
of it,"
Two hours latter, when Mrs. Jones
with weary sigh, removed the thimble
from her finger, Mr.. Jones patted he
on the cheek and said:
.'I say it again, my dear, say it again
that wherever go will make it known
proclaim it from the housetopS, shout i
in the highways and byways, that wifi
who gets up in the middle of the nigh
to sew buttons on her husbands clothe
is priceless treasure, a crown to tina
husband and an ornament to her sex.
Then Mr.. Jones, chuckling to him
self, lay calmly down and slept the sleel
of the just.

BashfuI Bill.
Boston Gazette.

"Talking about Maine," continued
my old friend, "that reminds me of
something that happened down our way
when | lived there-when was boy.
1t was in country town. A young
fellow (very bashfuD was out riding
with his girl one afternoon when he saw
an old farmer coming down the road in
his hay-rigging. On the seat beside him
was little cur.
"I'm going to have some fun with
him, Sal, said the young swain, haul
ing up side of the old farmer. The
farmer drew up and the yonng fellow
bawled out, nudging Sally: Say,
stranger, I'm powerfully struck with
that there dog of yourn, and I'd like
to buy him.
"Well,' responded the. farmer, Il

him.
"The farmer saw he was being guy
ed so he said: you pear to be a
likely young cuss, and you've got gol
darned han some gal there with you. 1
tell you what I'll do; you throw your
arms around that ere gal and give her
a good smack and l don't mind givin'
yer the dorg.'
"There was enough for the bashful
young man; he whipped up his horse
and went on. They rode along in
silence for an hour or more, Sal in her
corner an Bill in his. Then Sal sort of
edged up to Bills side, turned scarlet,
and looking coyly up into his eyes,
said: Say, Bill, it pears to me that
you didn't want that dog powerful bad,
did your That settled it; it broke
the ice, and one of their grandchildren
is going to school down there now."

Nothing to Do.

"Nothing to do % in this world of ours,
Where weeds spring up with fairest flowers,
Where smiles have only fitful play,
Where hearts are breaking every day!
"Nothing to dow thou Christian soul,
Wrapping thee round in thy selfish stole;
Off with thy garments of sl0th and sin,
Christ thy Lord hath kingdom to win.
"Nothing to do" There are prayers to lay
On the altar of incense, day by day;
There are foes to meet within and without,
There is error to conquer, strong and stout.
"Nothing to dor' There are minds to teach
The simplest form of Christian speech;
There are hearts to lure with loving vile,
From the grimmest haunts of sins defile.
"Nothing to do" There are lambs to feed,
The precious hope of the church's need;
Strength to be borne to the weak and faint,
Vigils to keep with the doubling saint.
"Nothing to do" and thy Saviour said,
"Follow thou me, in the path tread"
Lord, lend thy help the journey through,
Lest faint, we cry, $50 much to do"

BG Men don't kiss in public; neither
should women and girls. 1t is vulgar
practice because, Intentionally or other
wise, it attracts the attention of stran-
gers. When two women, at a railway
depot or other crowded public place,
rush together with resounding oscula-
ton, like two rapid meteors out ftheir
orbits, the whole crowd grins, and the
dudes prick up their ears and eyeglasses.
Don't!
