1t was the dear old melody "Sitting
on My Dear Old Mothers Knee
and the singer was girl of not more
than Is years old. No one seemed
to know her, but as her voice took
up the melody and every word reached
our ear all bent forward with bated
breath. There was a quayer-a sad
Mesa something in her voice which
called for pity. AS she sang the great
white moon rose in her majesty out
Of the black waste of waters-up-up
inch by inch, and as the singer
reached the last verse the silver rays
settled upon her head and made her
a crown of glory.
When she had finished she rose up,
slowly, walked forward to the low
railing, and looking out upon the sill
very path across the waters, she sang
the last verse again. Then while the
tears yet bliuded some, and while the
melody still fingered in the ears of all,
she sprang over the rail into the
seething, swirling, raging waters
twenty feet below. No man moved
for moment. Then all cried out in
horror and rushed to the rail. She
was floating out to sea, her hands
clasped as if in prayer-out in the
silvery path which led to death, and
we were powerless. Never shrek,
nor cry, nor struggle. We saw her
as she was heaved upon the crest of
great wave, and then she was gone
forever.
Poor child She had sinned, but
she had repented. Never one but
hoped the dear old mother was wait
ing for her on the other shore, and
that God in his mercy would not
judge her too harshly.- Detroit Free

An Easy Way to Oh
tain a Watch f!


There is no excuse for any person in Arkan
sas to be without u watch. Mr. Louis @. Ber-
nays, manufacturing jeweler, ZIG Main street,
Little Rock, Ark, has devised plan by which
the best time pieces now in the market can be
secured ON terms that prohibits the purchaser
missing the money he expends for one Of
them.
The plan is simple and will meet with the
endorsement of all who really desire a watch.
The watches Mr.. Bernays proposes to sell
can be selected from his stock, which is com.
plete in every respect. He has just received
a large assortment of anti-magnetic, 14-kt.,
gold filled cases, for open face and hunting
case movements, warranted for twenty years.
They are especially adapted for railroad PEG.
pie and parties working around dynamos and
other electric appliances, The purchaser is
purchase money for one of the watches, Civ
ing every week thereafter one dollar, until the
watch is paid for. No interest is charged, and
the same charge is made for the watch as
would be required to purchase one at other
establishments for cash. 1t is the simplest
and easiest plan ever suggested to enable a
man or woman to own an excellent gold watch
without missing the money required to pur.
chase one.

How to Save Boys.

Open your blinds by day and light
bright fires at night. illuminate your
rooms. Hang pictures upon your
walls. Put books and newspapers
upon your tables. Have music and
entertaining games. Danish demons
of dullness and apathy, and bring in
mirth and good cheer. Invent occu-
pations for your sons. Stimulate
their ambitions in worthy directions.
While you make home their delight,
fill them with higher purposes than
mere pleasure. Whether they shall
pass boyhood and enter manhood
with refined tastes and noble ambi-
tions depends on you. With exertion
and right means, a mother may have
more control over the destiny of her
boys than any other influence what

Song and Silence.

There were a hundred of us out at
the extreme end of the great ocean
pier, watching for the moon to rise
from its cavern in the sea. The waves
came rolling in from the great -ex-
panse to the east, each crested with
froth and foam-each roaring a
menace-each 6inging itself on the
beach in sullen fury.
There was a hush as we waited and
watched and listened. BY and by a
sweet voice suddenly broke into song.

Stray Thoughts For Mothers
and Teachers.

1t is a noble revenge to have the
power of retaliation and not to use it.
Intellect has been called the star
light OF the brain. Religion is the
starlight of the SOUL Rusl1in.
The best way for parent to train
up a child in the way it should go, is
to travel that way sometimes himself.
: Elk.
1t is only for the present moment
that we are held responsible, and in
each moment there is time to do its
work well.
Deal gently with those who stray.
Draw back by love. and persuasion.
A kiss is worth a thousand kicks. A
kind word is more valuable to the lost
than mine of gold Elk. y
When girl or boy does a piece of
work well, why not encourage them
with honest praise? Appreciation and
judicious praise will go farther to-
ward inspiring them to do their work
well than all the cross words In Web

Adversely is of no use to some men,
and prosperity is no advantage to
others. Experience is wanting to
both, and the cloud and the rainbow
are misconceived alike; the former is
no token of darkness, the latter no
covenant of peace Elk.
The best things are nearest breath
in your nostrils, light. in your eyes,
flowers at your feet, duties at your
hand, the path of God just before
you. Then do not grasp at the stars,
but do life's plain, common work as
it comes, certain that daily duties and
daily bread are the sweetest things of
life Elk.
Happiness that is not based upon
virtue and upon uprightness is effer-
vescent and empty. There is some
thing awful in its hollow mirth-

that soon go out in darkness, leaving
no trace but handful of gray ashes.
