GOT ON A STRIKE.
A Joke Which Didn't Hold It's Flavor
After the Morning Hours.

After the Morning Hours.
''Perdition" is said to be ''paved

tention" to perpetrate joke may be
perfectly honest and sincere. and yet
he may fall short of his intent. An
Lrishman named Cooligan lived in a
town in California, and upon cold,
raw morning it occurred to another
son of Erin to PROFOUND conundrum.
He met Dutchman and inquired:
''Why is this marning loike an Irish
man in Poker Flat?'
II done told you," replied Hans.
'.Becoz it's cool-agin [Cooligan]."
The Dutchman pondered a long
while. and finally the joke was per
ceptible to him. He determined to i'm
pale some other victim on the sharp
thorns of his wit. He met an Irish
man to whom Ne said: ''Vy vas dis
vedder like Won Irishman in Boxer

Faith, an I Civ it oop," replied
Pat, with a grin.
.Becoz it vas colder as blixen. Haw!

HORSES JOURNEY.
Why Horses Should Not Be Driven Over
Thirteen Miles q Day.

Why Horses Should Not Be Driven Over
Thirteen Miles q Day.
According to the Hon. John E. Rus
sell, secretary of the Massachusetts
Board of Agriculture, the regular jour
ney of horse should not exceed twelve
or thirteen miles. This is as great a
distance, he thinks, as can be economi-
cally allotted horse as a days journey
for every day in the week. If he has
longer daily journey he must have a
day or two off each week. This DAYS
work of the travelling horse is based on
the experience of stage and car COM
panies. For the stage, where more
speed is required. ten miles have been
found the limit of an economical DAYS
journey. But great deal depends on
the speed. Give horse plenty of time
and he can do longer daily journey
than he can if urged beyond an easy
gait. In emergencies good horse can
do fifty or sixty miles in a day. Sew
enty-five and eighty miles have been
driven. But such long, fast journeys
are very trying to the horse, and he
needs to be managed with great care
and judgment to prevent harm from
such violent, continued exertion. Such
driving can not be repeated often with
safety. The regular days journey
should be heightened or shortened ac-
cording to the condition and character
of the road and the weight of the load.
Then there is difference in indi1fdu-
ais, and what one horse does wit. ease,
may be very hard for another. Feed
and care are also factors in the problem
not to be overlooked. Chicago Times.

$40. 600 the amount seems small, bus
500. 900 looks like about the right fig-
ure. The man who has 100000 de-
clines to be called a rich man and
signs for . million, while the million
aire thinks of the vast fortunes OF the
Astors and Vanderbilts. and deems
himself poor by comparison. Is any
man ever rich? That is to say. is any
man ever as rich as he wants to be?
The great mass of people who desire
more wealth do SO because they are
now and then. if not continually, con-
s,ious of being pinched. Between their
wants and their incomes they are in a
strait, and only by the exercise of
ECONOMY and ingenious management
are they able to make both ends meet.
to say nothing of laying up money for
a rainy day. But the secret Of happi-
ness in such cases is not to be found
by increasing the income. Wants grow
as fast as the means of gratifying
them. often faster. One who is con.
stantly in debt on an income Of 81 DOC
will be as badly of on $1,000. His
scale of expenses will more than keep
pace with the increase of his means.
The root of the difficulty is IN the fact
that many persons will always live be-
yond their means. and will always fret
because the means are not larger.
The secret of true riches is given by
the Apostle: Goodness with content
ment is great gain, or as the original
Greek word signifies, money-getting.
This is the only kind of riches that en-
dures the tests of life. 1t does not mat
ter how much we have, if we are con-
sumed by longing for more we are not
rich. No matter how little we have,
if we are content Herewith We are
rich. If man can not increase his
income perhaps he can decrease his
desires, which will come to the same
thing.
Contentment is grace that may be
cultivated largely by repeated efforts
of the will. just as discomfort may be
nourished until it swallows up every
innocent enjoyment, and makes life q
dreary treadmill of irksome duties.
Contentment does not imply that SUI
pine giving up to ones surroundings,
that abject surrender to the difficult
ties of life, which prevents all i'm
provement of ones lot. The laziness
and improvidence of the savage, the
shiftlessness of many poor people, is
not godly contentment, nor is true con-
tentment Incompatible with an aspira-
ton after something higher. some bet
terment of worldly fortune. 1t is
equally removed from fatalistic sur
render TO opposing forces and to fran
tic efforts to overcome them. 1t is
the golden mean between indifference
to and eagerness for advancement. 1t
is the philosophers stone for which
men so long searched in vain, for its
touch transmutes every thing into gold.

cosm in which are centered the mighty

is, it has swayed nations and shaped
empires with more than the imperial
power of an Alexander, q Caesar or q

wars and Reorganization of society.

THE POOR MANS FRIEND.

The Bible the Noblest vindicator of La
bor-Its High Ideals of Life.
No literature OF antiquity is possessed
with SO deep love of the poor, speaks
SO strong and generous words concern
them, surrounds them with so much
dignity and SO many rights as this Old
Testament know what say, and /
say what no man who knows antiquity
can contradict. Without the Bible la
Dor would be without its noblest vindi-
Gator, without the one ancient witness
that testified in behalf of its honor and
its claims. There is no book that so
denounces the King who dares to OPP
press the poor, or the priest who dares
to deceive the poor, that so praises the
man who does justice and loves mercy.
To help the poor is to please God, to
wrong them is to provoke His wrath.
The ideal King is one who ''Shall gov
ern thy people with righteousness, and
thy poor with Judgment. HE shall
save the children of the needy, and
shall break in pieces the op-
pressor. "He shall deliver the
poor, and him that hath no
helper '.He shall redeem their soul
from deceit and violence, and precious
shall their blood be in his sight" Con-
nected herewith is its love of the weak
and defenccless. the way it seeks t,
honor and guard the woman and child.
Do you know how Roman law dealt
with the father? 1t invested him with
in his family with absolute power, over
against him the wife and child could
not be said to possess any rights; and
the Roman law is the finest blossom Of
the Roman spirit. But in the Old
Testament the great preachers who
speak in the name of God will allow no
such absolute power to man; not right,
utduty is in proportion to strength; the
greater the weakness, the greater the
claim on the resourceful and the strong.
Children are an heritage of The Lord, J"
to be dealt with as riches held in trust
for Him. The man He most approves
is the one who Judges the fatherless
and pleads for the widow" Then
there is no book so full of the love of
honesty, the praise of justice between
man and man. 1t hates the false bal
ance, the lying tongue, the overreach-
ing spirit. 1t commends alike the gen.
erous master and the faithful servant.
In a word, its ideal of life-in-
dustrial, domestic, civil, commercial
is the highest, purest. sublimest, known
to the ancient world, for it is an ideal
that struggles towards the creation of
righteousness in all persons and in all
relations. Principal Fairbairs,.

"A Mississippi paper relates the fol-
lowing: A remarkable incident of

during the entire time. The sufferer
has been deprived of the use Of his
right side since its infiction, but has
now received the full use of his body.
The piece of bone which last cauc. from
the orifice was one inch in length and q
half inch in width
