Be Inventive

There are few expressions we hear
more frequently than that feeble wall
of the cowardly or lazy mind, 81
can't Every day we see people who
permit their progress to be stopped
/ by trifles which, instead OF retarding
them, should spur every faculty up
to the resistive, conquering point.
81 can't and 81 forgot" are two fatal
phrases which should be scratched
from the vocabulary OF every young
man or woman who is ambitious Of
being or doing anything in this world
that shall deserve TO be recorded.
BE inventive. Cultivate the crea-
tive side of your brain. Don't be
stumped. When you seem TO be cor
nered is the very moment TO stir your
self and devise some way Of making
things work.
The Chicago Herald, a little while
ago, printed some remarks Of a drum
mer descriptive of a certain Yankees
ingenuity, which are pertinent TO our
present theme:
"Talking about ingenuity" said
the drummer, 81 want 10 tell you

was on a train that was showed in
for three days. The company sent
us food, but they didn't send any
cigars, and the train boys stock was
exhausted the first day. In the eX-
press car we found and confscated a
box of smoking tobacco, but there
wasn't pipe on the train. Among
the passengers was a Connecticut
Yankee who was just dying for a
smoke. He got out in the snow and
looked around for a weed, or some
thing of that sort, which he might use
in making pipe, but couldn't find
such a thing. I'm going TO have a
pipe, anyhow he said. SO he took
a lead pencil, opened the wood, took
out the lead, and, placing the two
strips together again, wound them
tightly with the tin foil which came
off the packages of smoking tobacco,
making them air-tight. Then he took
an apple, followed a bowl out Of IL,
stuck his lead pencil stem into il, and
had one of the incest pipes you ever
saw. If you don't believe it, make
one for yourself some time and try"
This was a common trick in the
army, when we could get neither
reeds nor corn cobs, and sweet pipes
they made in every sense. When app
Piles were unobtainable, which was
not seldom, we fell back upon pota-
toes.

Things That Never Die.

The pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth;
The impulse to woridless prayer,
The dreams of love and truth.
The longing after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need,
The kindly word in grief's dark hour,
That proves a friend indeed;
The plea of mercy softly breathed
When justice threatened high.
The sorrow contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The memory of a clasring hand,
The pressure of kiss,
And all the trifes sweet and trail,
That make up life's first bliss;
If with a firm, unchanging faith,
And holy trust and high,
The sorrow of contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word,
That wounded as it fell;
The chilling want of sympathy
We feel but never tell;
The hard repulse that chills the heart,
Whose hopes are bounding high,
In an unfading record kept
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Can find some work to do;
Lose not a chance to awaken love,
Be firm and just and true;
So shall light that cannot fade,
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel voices say to thee,
These things shall never die.

The Old Farmhouse on the Hill.

Boast not of Queen Anne cottages,
Nor of summer villas gay,
Nor yet of stately palaces
Where marble fountains play;
The architect ne'er yet designed
And design he never will
A pile that can compare with the
Old farmhouse on the hill.
The millionaire in mansions grand
Owns pictures old and rare,
And all the luxuries that wealth
Has gathered round him there;
In spite OF all his bric-a-brac
And store of wealth, he still
Oft thinks of the low, gabled-roofed
Old farmhouse on the hill.
He backward glances as he sees
His mother as she sits
Near by the hearth and croons to him,
And deftly mends or knits.
Again he hears of Sinbad bold,
And rattling Jack and Gill,
The while the shrill wind whistles round
The farmhouse on the hill.
He sees his father grave and stern,
But ever good and just,
Again his flyrite maxim hears,
"In heaven put your trust
And e'en old Rover seems te hear
A whiulng at the sill
That he may join the group within
The farmhouse on the hill.

Then We will put our own intelligent and
skillful and protective labor in this country

This is the ultimate aim and purpose
of the present free-trade crusade.

steel-workers of Belgium.
1t means putting our millers on an
equality with the 47-cent day millers
of the great flour-producing center Of
Europe, Buda-Pesth.

on an equality with the so to 55-cent a
day paper-makers of Belgium, Norway
and Sweden, who now send large guam
titles of paper to this country annually.
Notwithstanding the protective tariff.
1t means placing the weavers in our
cotton mills upon an equality with
those of Alsace-Lorraine, who work
from twelve to fourteen hours day for
81 cents on the average; with those of
England who receive II cents day, and
of Italy who receive Is cents a day.
1t means putting our wooler mill
operatives or level with the Sl-cent
wooden workers OF England.
1t means putting our fax. linen and
hemp workers on al equality with the
50-cent a day operatives in these in
