PEARLS OF THOUGHT

Walk rs il you were conscious that
your body has a soul in it.
If a life will bear examination in every
hour of it, it is pure indeed.
If any one says i'll of you, let your lie
be so that meme viii believe him.
He who strives after a long and pleas
ant form of life must seek to attain con-
tinued equanimity.
eve never see a tear in the eye" says
a celebrated writer, ''but we are re-
minded Of a warm heart.
Whatever else we neglect, let US keep
up the habit Of communion with God.
Prayeris the key of the position.
If a man empties his purse into his
head. no man can take it away from him.
An investment in knowledge always pays
the best interest.
Let every man take care how he speaks
and writes of honest people, and not set
down at q venture the first thing that
comes uppermost.
The man who is suspicious lives in a
constant state Of unhappiness. It would be
better for his peace Of mind to be too
trustful than to be too guarded.
If thy friends be of better quality than
than thyself, thou mayest be sure of two
things: the first that they will be more
careful to keep thy counsel, because they
have much more to lose than thou hast;
the second, they will esteem thee for thy
self, and not for that thou dost possess.

Lying Too Far Apart.

In a hunters camp different men be-
gan to unfold their yarns. Among 9TH
ers o Kentuckian said he once shot a
buck in such a way that the bullet, hit
ting the right ear, passed through the
heel of the right hind foot. Jeering and
laughter greeted this monstrous story.
Brown" called the Kentuckian to
his companion, tell these fellows Il
what say is not as true as gospels" Z
why, yes" replied the other, II saw
it myself. You see, gentlemen, when he
pulled the trigger of his rife, the buck
was Just scratching his head with his
hoof." Then he whispered to his friend,
"'That was s. narrow escape. Anothe
time don't lie far apart"

A 1argetman's Ing eniOu Game.

Not many miles from Chicago lives a
targetman who, for nearly four years, has
played a little game admirable for its
boldness and ingenuity. The duties of a
targetman, every one should know, are to
keep constant lookout at the crossing of
two railroads and to swing the red danger
signal over one track at the approach of a
train on the other. For ten years one
man has held the position of day target
man, and he is still there. Four years
ago the night man was killed, and the
day man, acting under instructions, re-
ported the name of a man competent to
take deceased's place. This man was &C
cordingly placed on the payroll and re-
ccivcd his salary regularly from the pay
car. The junction at which these men
were employed is merely a crossing out
on the prairie. There is no house there
beside the targetman's shanty, and, a few
rods away, his humble dwelling. A few
weeks ago it was accidentally discovered
that for four years one man has drawn
two mems pay, and that the man who
was hired four years ago never existed,
ave in the imagination of the man who
pretended to hire him. But the target
man who drew two mems pay did two
mems work. For four years he has lived
in that little shanty, night and day. Not
ten hours in all that time has he been
farther from the crossing than the little
frame house where he ate his meals.
Twenty-four hours a day and 365 days a
year he has been on the lookout for ap-
preaching locomotive headlights and
smokestacks. Of course he could not
have performed such service as this with
out assistance, but all the assistance he
had was that of an automatic signal rig
ged up by himself during a few of his
many leisure hours. Stretching an old
piece of telegraph wire half a mile up the
track in each direction, he drew it taut
and affixed a connecting trigger to the
surface Ol Tie rail-, SO LnaC the WneelS OF
every approaching engine would pull the
wire and drop m old hat into his face as
he slept in his shanty. By this means he
was enabled to secure plenty of sleep be-
tween trains, and at the same time be
sure of being awake and on duty when.

pay for two mems work. This story il

Men who Promised Little:

ARCHBISHOP GIBBONS, the Primate OF
the Catholic Church in America. who is
named as a coming Cardinal, graduated
near the foot of his class in college. and
was in no wise a brilliant student, nor is
he noted as q pulpit orator.
SENATOR GoRMAS of Maryland. in his
younger days, when he was Postmaster
of the Senate, and measured considera-
bly, less around the waistband than now,
was President of the old National Base
Ball Club, and was noted as an accurate
thrower and catcher.
FIFTEEN years ago Mr.. Joseph Arch
was a farm laborer, supporting his fam
on four dollars weekly wages, and be is
now a member Of Parliament. He is
what is commonly called a self-made
man, but, as his wife taught him to read
and write, he may be considered a cred
liable specimen of domestic manufacture.
JUSTICE FIELD tells how his pride had
a fail. When he was a young man he
was particularly proud of his erect form
and fine, curling hair. Walking one
day with head we'll up he ran against a
cart and injured his knee. The injury
<resulted in permanent lameness and a
consequent stoop in his shoulders. AZ
terward hard study produced brain
fever, and a fy-blister cured the fever
and destroyed his waving locks.
GLADSTONE, as a young man, was not
overestimated by Dlsraeli, who wrote in
a letter in February, 1916, and now first
published, that Gladsto1e's address waa
dull and ineffective, and that he might
come to be somebody, but he did net
think so. He also writes of a dull din
