reporter. at has struck me that it is
about time that We country folk should
get up Town Air Fund to send some
Of the poor urchlns Of cur bleak villages
into the city IN winter. Nothing would
do them 50 much good as a stay Of a few
weeks in some Of the comfortable
palaces Of New York. in a good many of

rooms. just think how it would charm
the poor little creatures TO walk along
the gey streets free from mud and snow,
to gaze into the shop windows fiIled with
holiday goods. and to 90 into the
museums, eTt exhibitions and other
warm and attractive places which
abound in the city, but arc entirely IN
known in the country. Then the gentle
people having them in charge here might
take them 10 the theatres once or twice,
and at an extremely moderate cost pro
duoe one Of the brightest chapters in
their little lives It is poor rule that
won't work both ways. If country air is
good Tor city children in sumner, Pm
sure : Whit Of the city air would benefit
country children in winter"

WORDS OF WISDOM.
Don't be a grumbIer.

Don't be a grumbler.
Don't try to get ahead of time.
Extravaganza is not generosity.
Truth is like a torch; when shaken it
shines.
To DO SO no more is the truest re-
pentance.
There is a vast deal of vital air in
loving words.
Were words ideas, what an ideal world
this would be.
Character is diamond that scratches
every other stone.
A friend without discretion is more to
be feared than an enemy in armor.
Be gentle! The sea is held in check,
not by wall of brick, but by a beach of
sand.
Abuse may not be criticism, but some
times the latter sounds very much like
the former.
No consciousness of rectitude will en-
tirely take away the sting of being
cruelty misjudged.
A man who is willing to enter society
as a beneficiary is mean, and does not
deserve recognition.
There are fewer sadder sights in this
world than that of mates whom the
passage of years have mis-mated
Society is not very particular what a
man does, so that it proves him to be
man; it will then bow to him and make
room for him.
When the storms of life are upon us,
we forget that they pass successfully
away; and when they are gone. we
wonder that we should not have been
Gained and composed by this long-known
truth.
Economy does not consist in borrow
ing an old, broken-facsd hammer, and
masbing your thumb-nail with it, so
you will be cripple for a week,
when a new hammer could be bought
for half dollar.
