Their Petition.

When several persons combine IL an
effort to obtain desired privileges they
are usually successful. There lies great
virtue in numbers. Elsie, little New
England girl, was delighted with the
prospect of trip to California, and il
never occurred to her that all her twelve
dolls were not to go also.
Tell me where they're to be packed,
mamma" she said, "and I'll put them
in. They mustn't be rumpIed and
tumbled."
elsie, DEAR" said mamma, regret
fully, but firmly, 81 really can't allow
you to take all that set of dolls. You
may have two, any two you like, but
there I draw the line. Twelve dolls
are quite unnecessary"
Elsie made no reply but went quietly
on, altering skirt for Lady Ethelinda,
the prettiest one of the waxen and
china-faced family.
Later in the day, when her mother
entered the room devoted to packing,
she saw a curious sig hit. Supported
against trunk sat a row of dolls, in
travelling costume, as far as they could
manage such, and above their heads
was pinned a large placard, bearing the
words, I'VE are waiting to be packed. y.
What mother could resist the united
appeal of dozen dolls? Not this one,
and to California the twelve went.

Love.

You may have heard the story of that
woman iu the highlands of Scotland,
whose daughter left her dwelling and
went to the great city where she lived a
life of sin and shame and sorrow. The
mother tried in vain to bring her home:
for her heart longed for her child.
One night she was sitting by her cot
tage hearth, watching the ashes of q
dying fire, the door opened, the daugh-
ter entered, and in moment she was
,clasped in her mothers arms. They
sat and talked long by the fire that
night, and by and by the daughter
said:
Mother, how was it that I found the
door unfastened?"
My daughter. said the mother, sI
knew you would come back, and never,
by day or by night, since You went
away. has that door been locked" That

Wasn't Quite Ready.

During a revival in one of the
Southern States, the minister noticing
that young fellow named Hank Boyd
had begun to sink down under apparent
conviction, approached him and asked
How do you feel?"
"Oh, middlin'."
"Don't you feel that your life has
been sinful, and that it is time to turn
from the certain destruction that
awaits you?"
"Yas, middlin'."

C"No, don't believe will right now.

BAsHFUL BRIDEoRooMs.
Brides Are Much More ser-POssesso

Brides Are Much More Sen-POssesso-.
Ministers declare that in nine cases
1ut of ssn brides are much more self
possessed than are bridegrooms when
the marriage ceremony is being per-
formed.
A shy, modest looking little creature
robed In white will stand perfectly
erect, looking the minister calmly and

big, blunt six-feoter of brideglo I'm by

1 was once ~best man" to stalwart,
middle-sged bridegroom noted for his
courage and feats of daring. and when
the time came for US to go down stairs
to meet the bride and her attendants he
nearly had fit, and he looked like a
walking corpse all through the cere-
mony. I had to keep saying: Brace
up, old boy" and Come, come, you've
got to go down" to get him started at
all, and at the door he was idiotic
enough to clutch at me and say:

"Ah, er-Miss Barter, this is my wife,
Miss Barton" calling her by her maiden
name.
Few men say "my wife" easily and
naturally the first time they use the
words in public.
A funny case was that of a badly
ratified bridegroom who stared blankly
at the minister until asked if he took
this woman to be his lawful, welded
wife" when he started suddenly and
hastily and in the blandest manner:
"Ah, beg pardon-were you speaking
to me?"
A village preacher says that he once
married a rural couple at the home Of
the brides parents in the presence of a
large company of invited guests. The
bridegroom was big, bony, 'red-faced
young fellow who looked as though he
could have felled an OK with his fist;
but he shivered and turned pale at the
beginning of the ceremony, and at its
close he fell down in dead faint to the
manifest annoyance of his bride, who
had been as cool as a cucumber"

His Grief Was Not Lasting.

The late James B. Eads was passing
up the Mississippi River one day and
stopped at backwoods store on the
banks of the river, kept by an old Ger
man. The proprietor was at work
chopping wood, but evidently in great
grief. Tears rolled down his cheek
and he was sobbing as if his heart
would break. His wife, he explained
in broken dialect, was very 1l-Yery i'll.
Mr.. Eads consoled him as best he could
and left Returning six weeks later he
found the erstwhile heart-broken
Teuton alive and clipper as a squirrel.
~How's your wife?" asked Mr.. Eads.
%Oh, she vas fnel" answered the
German with broad smile.

~Oh, dot vas de old yum" replied the
happy bridegroom as he set up the

The Banjo is Going.

What has become of the bxnjo? That

GEMS OF THOUGHT.
Prom the Rams Horn.l

THE devil is always very polite when
he first comes to you.
You will never know men until you
learn to love them.
No MAN can lift himself an inch by
thinking about himself
If young men did not drink there
would be no drunkards.
TRUE wisdom comes from God; leads
to Him and rests in Him.
To KNOW the truth is the gate that
opens into the way of life.
People who kill lions learn to shoot
by practicing on other things.
THE preacher vino always aims at the
head will never hit the heart.
Truth is Gods eternal straight line,
unbendable and unbreskable.
The man who is not religious at
home Is not religious anywhere.
OK one side is life and on the other
death. On which side are you?
GIVE the right man wings and he
will know what to do with them.
THE man who never praises his wife
deserves to have a poor one.
The hardest battles we fight are
the ones we have with ourselves.
BEFORE great victories can be en-
ioyed great battles must be fought.
IT is not the beginning of Wickedness
that damns the soul, but the never
stopping.
KEEP your eye fixed on the cross
and you will be sure to walk straight
into heaven.
The devil would rather put long
face on a Christian than sell barrel of
whisky.
If you want to have a good preacher
treat the one you have the best you
know how.
If you are willing that God shall use
you, you will always have steady en-
ployment.
Gods hold on man is uncertain as
long as the devils claws run clear
through his pocket-book.
No MAN will ever be willing to know
the truth about God until he first finds
out the truth about himself.
If you want to be Christian and do
not begin to be one at once, it may be
that you will never be one.
UNLESS your religion makes you
think, love, hope and act like Christ,
there is something wrong about it.
THE saddest truth of which it is pos
sible to conceive is that man is not Will
ing to find out the truth about God.
ONE of the saddest things of which it
. is possible to conceive, is that man will
not believe what God says about him.
IT is blessed thing for man to get
religion in such way that he don't
have to leave his money in the devils
bank.
GOLD gives to everything that
touches it something of itself, but
Christ makes every one He touches like
Himself.

There are martyrs and martyrs. Some
were wise in the Hottest, some are silly in the
most improvident sense. The word impro-
vident exactly applies to the latter class,
since they neglect to provide against threat
ened danger. We commiserate, but we can
not respect them. Among the silliest are
martyrs to rheumatism, who might have pre-
vented daily and nightly recurring torture by
the early use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
a blood depurent more efficient in removing
the virus of this complaint from the circula-
ton than any thus far brought to the notice
of the general community and the medical
profession. 1t promotes greater activity of
the kidneys, the channel through which
blood impurities, productive of rheumatism,
govt and dropsy, are principally expelled,
and it imparts degree of vigor to digestion
and assimilation which has a most favora-
BILE bearing on the general health. 1t also
remedies bihousness, kidney troubles, and
malaria.

SQuaWs Are Saleable.

The plural wife system prevails
at San Carlos, where it is regarded
by Apache bucks as profitable for
the reason that wives are tireless
toilers. They chop wood, carry
water, pack hay, herd stock, build
wickiups, cook, and, in fact do all
the labor calculated to contribute
to the necessity and comfort of the
camp. Apache women are mer-
chantable-are bought and sold. A
bucks wealth is estimated, in part,
by the number of his wives. The
value of a wife is calculated by the
weight she can carry; therefore,
those having defective spines and
unable to pack sack of -four, or
bundle OF hay, or an eighth of
cord of wood and pappoose at the
same time, are not regarded as val
liable property, and are less appre-
ciated by their masters than a pony
or burro. This, doubtless, their
philanthropic friends in the East
are ignorant of, or else they would

How High Can Man Live?

that the result was as follows: His
pulse, at the normal heights, only
So beats per minute, seldom fell
below 100 beats per minute during
the whole time he resided at that
level. His respirations were often
twice as numerous in the minute as
they were in the ordinary levels. A
run of 100 yards would quicken
both pulse and respiration more
than run of 1000 yards at sea
leavel, and he found that the higher
the level the greater the difficulty
Of running or walking fast. He
