Promptly Excused.

The Rev. Myron Reed recited an
amusing incident of his military career
at the Loyal Legion banquet the other
night. His regiment got into Nash
vile one morning, and the following
morning he was told to go and relieve
the guard at the Capitol. lie took up
his company, and was told the first
business was to put the prisoners to
work to clean out the place. lie set
them TO work with mops, pals and
brooms, and just as they were fairly
at work a person came up and wanted
to know what he was doing making
such noise.
"1Iere, l don't want anything of
that" said Mr.; Reed; "'Just get your
broom and help these men,
"'Do you know who / amp"

Having His Own WaV.

"Why did you run away from

ragged young tramp.
"Because | wanted to have my own
way"
"Well, YOU look as though you'd had
it, is Whitcomb's sententious reply.
The boy who is eager to have his
own way is continually met with, and
many times it is an extremely hard
way. The tyranny of home is of the
mildest sort, he finds, compared with
what he has to undergo in endeayor-
ing to have his own way. Many times
he falls into evil company, and in inn
itating their way and making it his
own, he discovers himself on the way
TO reformatory or prison. Ask the

Cause for Thanksgiving

With all of her wonderful fruits,
California lacks cranberry worthy of
the name. A New England tourist
ordered cranberry sauce with his turkey
one Thanksgiving Day at hotel in
Pasadena. An odd-looking and odder-
tasting dish of stewed fruit was brought
to him.
"What do you call this?" he asked
the waitress, a girl from the New Hamp-
shire mountains.
"Cranberry sauce, sir, she answered,
with a fair smile of sympathy for his
evident distaste.
''Cfanberry sauce!" he echoed, indig-
nantly, "that has no more the flavor of
cranberry than peanut has of pump
kim"
"Maybe not" she replied, demurely,
ssbut you see it gives felix's great deal
more reason to be thankful for the
turkey"

Mrs. Vanderpoel listened to the story.
She asked the girl to be seated, and then
sent for the physician and inquired after
the boy. He was al right. He had re-
gained Consciousness. Mrs. Vanderpoel
asked the girl to remain, and then went
out of the room. She went to the BOY.
She showed him the pendant found in
his pocket. His eyes frightened.
"Dat's what l got for Lena" he said;
dat's Lena's
''Who is Lenai" asked the lady.

"Why did you not give it to herr"

And the lad smiled. So too, did the
lady. She went up stairs, told Jennie
the story of the accidental finding, and
although she cried the girl was happy.
She wanted to go home to tell her moth
er, bat the lady would not have it so,
and both Jennie and the boy had their
Thanksgiving dinner at Mrs. Wander
poel's table.
1t was happy day for more than
them. A carriage rolled away from the
door laden with goods, some of which
went to the little home of Mugsy on

Cures by Hypnotisn.

A year ago II was said, more or less
plainly, that hypnoism was about to
ruin the medical profession and revo-
lutionize the art Of healing and curing.
Physicians of various schools took up
with the new curative agency, and the
lame were reported to walk and the
deaf to hear by mere exercise or
transfer of will-power. Very much
less of all this is heard now, and sew
eral physicians who advocated the new
system are taking back or explaining
away their statements. The reason.
according to St. Louis physician, is
the distinctly temporary nature of the
cures by hypnotic agency.
Almost any disease with nervous
origin can be relieved by hypnotism,
but the benefit is purely temporary in
cases that have come under my notice,
and the difficulty is person who has
bcen helped by hypnotism once will
not be benefited materially by a second
operation or application. l do not
speak as a sceptic, because ithas always
seemed to me to be foolish to deny ac-
credited facts, but there are many in
stances in st. Louis in which sick per-
sons have been benefited by nervous
shock-call it by whatever name you
may-but who have speedily relapsed
into worse condition than before.
Hypnotism suspends causes of illness,
but does not remove them.
