MAY GOD BLESS YOU"
A Boston Paper Hangers Trouble and
How he Got Out of It-Plain
Words from the Sunny South

When we are in trouble we cry for help When
we are relieved often forget to be thankful.

Fair amateur photographers have various
ways of making their work ornamental.
The pictures which they take in their studios
or conseryatories are mounted in odd fash
ions One girl showed to me white satin
fan on which she had photographed a group
of friends whispering to each other, She
had a fire screen with artistically arranged
groups clustered about the fireplace. One
group was Halloween party watching chest
nuts roasting on the hearth. This scene
might be looked at by anybody but in her
chamber she had pictures that were destined
for her own eyes alone, or, at most, for those
of her most intimate friends Around the
mirror was a circle of finely mounted photo
graphs of her girl friends in their prettiest
robes de mutt.
''Here they are every evening to bid me
good night" she said, "and | was so pleased
with the fancy that made this" showing a
group of white robed girls with flowing
tresses and one with beautiful hands working
at the curl papers on her head Circling
around these photographs was n long curl
paper, on which the words GOOD night
had been engraved in a fantastic scroll This
picture stretches clear across the headboard
of her bed. On the footboard was an assem-
bly, of fair ones in all stages of attire-girls
of the garter and girls of the cross-One but

MANY PRECAUTIONS TAKEN.


Not the least curious of tho many curioS

the washing water is run. Tradition has it
that the decorative property of the water
was not discovered, until an angler one day
attempted to seduce the fish with May fly.

away, happily unhurt. 70 obvate II similar

for cleaning the works in every department,
and among other things for deliberately
blowing up the ponds. After congratulating
himself on a safe journey through the various
houses, the stranger is apt to hurry from the
factory and only to breathe freely when he is
again at the station. He will not have failed,
however, to notice the many precautions
taken to insure safety for those who daily
risk their lives in these very hazardous opera

THE ELEVENTH COMMANDMENT.

The North american Revie,C contains the
subjoined excellent article from the pen of
Walter Gregory lawyer of Atlanta:
"In this very pleasant world you may
look upon men in either of two ways. At
the outset you must make your selection.
Your choice will, in part, reveal yourself:
1t will also determine your happiness and
success. You are with us. You must re-
main awhile. And you must shape your
self upon one theory or the other. You
must say: Resolved, That all men are
Ishmaelites. Or you may pause and re-
fleet You may give such conclusion the
consideration it deserves. You may dig
nifty it with its proper Importance. Then,
perhaps, you may say: Resolved, That
all men are brothers. 1t is matter OF no
concern to all mem which resolution you
adopt: but it concerns you very greatly.
1t will make big difference in your his
tory.
Did it ever occur to you what profound
lesson was taught in that horn book story
where your attention was called to the fact
that Mary loved the lamb, you know
Now that you are a grown child, 1t IS
taught you again, in the statement He
first loved u.s.
There is new religion now growing in
this world. Or, if you prefer, there is an
old religion, up to which this world is now
growing. -
The most hopeful sign of these times is
