ALEssON FOR LAcoARDs.

You think of taking II journey some day;
Yet somehow or other you make delay,
Until further and further away appears
The beautiful gaol; and tell you Tow
To bind yourself by solemn vow
To cross the Pubicon. Pluck up heart!
For you'll never get there unless you ste TT!
There looms be ore you from day to day
A task that you dread tn undertake;
So it hangs like cloud upon your way
Through which the sunshine can never
break.
And tell you now that the better plan
IL to do the work az quick rs you can;
Over your fears Il victory win,
For you never get through If you don't
begin!
With the brnvest and busiest keep abreast.
Nor through love of Incidence lose your
place.
For in each endeavor to do your best
You raise the hopes of the human race.
Be not content to grovel below.
But rise to your duties with faith nglow!
Let your aims lie high, and strive to excel
For he who does better must first do well!
The heart that gives way to it's doubts and
fears,
That idly dreams when there's work to do,
Will find ITSELF before many years,
Beggard and bankrupt through and
There are journeys to take and tasks to be
From early morning till Sc. Of sun.
And triumphs to win. rs none can deny,
And you'll never succeed unless you try!
Josephine Pollard.

a Wife's Example.
From the Detroit News.

From the Detroit News.
"I'llneve forget when l struck this
tc wn, said a popular Woodward Ave-
nue. salesman recently. 81 had wife
and about 20 cents, and no friends.
had to put up my watch to purchase
enough stuff to go to housekeeping.
l bought an oil stove, a bed. and a
few articles of furniture, and then
started out to find work. l wore out
more shoe leather in a few days than
have since. The second day l re-
turned home at night pretty weary,
and decidedly respondent. My wife
was not home, and while waiting her
coming l tackled the question of
whether life was worth living. Now,
can assure you that l was fast con-
vincing myself that it was not, when
my meditations were cut short by the
appearance of my better half. She
was all smiles, and l, in my inmost
soul, pitied her, for l imagined she
did not know to what desperate
straits we were reduced. When l
asked her the cause of her happiness,
she said that she had found posi-
ton, and had been at work all day.
What do you think of that? Say, it
knocked me cold. l didn't say much
at the time, for couldn't; but did
keep up a terrible thinking at night,
and the next morning l got right up
on my hind legs, and talk about
hustling! l let no man escape, and
the result was that l got this posi-
ton that now hold"
"And you are wealthy"
"No, not wealthy, but certainly
ain 'tpoor. Imade my wife quit work
after the first week, and, although
my salary is not very large, and
have had considerable sickness in my
family. have managed to get a home,
and l want to tell you how got it.
Each week laid away few dollars,
and some time ago l found man
who had nice little home he wanted
to sell. He only wanted couple OF
hundred down, and the balance on al
most any terms to suit the purchaser.
had just the couple of hundred he
wanted, ana the deal was soon closed.
Instead of paying rent am paying
for my home, and am happy as a
clam at high tide; but, just the same,
a dollar continues to look as big as a
cart-wheel to me yet, for cannot af-
ford to take chances"

Rural Wedding Incidents.

The Rev. W. G. Wade, a Congrega-
tional pastor in Western Maine, has
been telling the Boston Herald some
stories about queer marriages. He
said: l once married n couple where
the young man seemed good and
honest, but not very quick witted.
The girl was bright and smart, but
proved tickle and false, for she soon
tired of her husband, who came back
to know if l could unmarry him. OF
another couple that was called up
on to unite few years ago, the
groom was "a and the bride was 10.
He had given her $4,000 before he
became her consort. His children,
(middle-aged people) and neighbors
showed their disaproval of the mat
ter by INDUCING in a serenade of
such gigantic proportions that the
din caused people miles away to
think that the world had come to an
end. Twelve horse fiddles, with can
non and tin fish horns, seemed to
shake the earth. One couple present.

answer to the question, Doyou take
this woman to be your lawful welded

OF course would proceed, TO care
for in sickness and in health?' when
the groom would answer again, 'Sar-
tin, sartin; I'm all right. III doctor

ANoW Reason for an Old Show

From the Philadelphia Press.
1--WE gave you, the other day, n re-
view OF small detachment of the
American army, not to show yon
that we have an army. but that we
have none." These words OF Presi-
dent Harrison to the Pan-American
conference will ring over Europe.
No recent utterance by any Ameri-
can president will be more widely
commented on or more gladly heard
by the people which hear the burden
of 100000 men in arms and 81
600, 100000 spent on their annual
support. Simply by standing before
all the world, safe and unmarried, we
are making armies impossible, and
advancing the day when war will he
impracticable. How small, how petty,
how Anticipated the system of king
and army with which Europe is bur-
dened looks by the side of the great
republic which dares to be great by
peace alone. How certain is The day
to come when this country, without
a debt and without an army, will
bring to the ground the great, costly
and expensive system. which taxes
the industry Of all to give princes
their pleasures and armies their sup
port!

THE recent death OF the unfortunate
Viscountess Kingsland ended life OF
strange vicissitudes. She was married
in 1919 to Viscount Kingsland, the
needed representative Of an old title.
At his death she fell into the greatest
poverty. and occupied small room in
the back street OF Lambeth. with
hardly any furniture. BY making
shirts at cents apiece she managed
to earn from 80 to Is cents week.
For nearly twenty years she continued
her employment OF shirtmaking. re.

from the parish. When she was 79
she applied to the Universal Benefcent
society for aid. The committee imme.
diately made her an allowance OF 81. SO

her a gift of $500 from the royal bounty

Only Whistling Boys Wanted.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Every Saturday morning a crowd
OF small boys gather about the doors
ola bakery in Columbia Street. The
temptation is a chance to earn so
cents for days work offered by the
baker. The small boy is employed to
pick over dried currants and raisins,
to remove the stems from them and
to call out the utterly worthless.
But the baker does a little culling
among 1.-THE boys before he employs
them, and his mode of selection is
original and curious. AS each urcEin
enters the august and aproned pres
ence of the chief cook he is asked:
"Do you know how to whistler"
The smart little boy, who is not MS
truthful as was the father of his Coun-
try, and has not posted himself in re-
gard to the civil service requirements
ofthe employment he seeks, unblush-
ingly says Nav" he does not whistle.
He also does. not pick raisins. The next
boy is both truthful and posted. He
answers the bakers question with a
bar from the classical McGinty over
ture. and is Immediately introduced
to the room within where with a
score of Others he is to find employ
ment. When all the boys who have
passed the examination satisfactorily
are in their places the baker brings
in the bag OF raisins and currants.
Each boy is given portion and told
to whistle. The wisdom of the bak-
er's scheme is that as long as there ia
music floating out from the lips OF the
urchin there could exist no opportu-
nifty for raisins and currants to float
in. The scheme works well, at least
while the ingenious baker is present.
The concert suffers disorganization il
he chances to leave the room. His sud-
den temperance on these infrequent
occasions causes efforts to resume
that are pathetic and distressing. II
anyone fails to understand the diff
culties that the emergency presents
let him fill his mouth full of dried
currants and try to whistle.

A Race Horse on the Ocean.

From the New York Tribune
= The writer once Travelled with a race
horse on board a steamer, and became
deeply interested in the animals be-
havior, as. in, fact, did the entire
population of the vessel. TWAS gem
orally acknowledged that there was
no better sailor on board, before the
mast or behind it. His stall, a few
pieces OF scantling nailed together,
was in the steerage, twenty feet from
the port bow, and he stood there in
one position for twelve DAYS and
nights. No one saw him move hoof
during the voyage. He was not
afraid. In the toughest wea ther, and
some of it was so rough that the
vessel, which had been going with the
storm, turned around and steamed
in the teeth Oft for eight long hours,
he kept his nose in the oat-box,
swaying back and forth and from side
to side as gracefully and contentedly
ASA oldtar. At times it was impos-
siblc for sailor to stand on deck
without support.
The horse never lost his balance.
Three hundred sheep in the steer
age with him. The first night out $50
were washed overheard. Fifty died
from exposure. lie did not seem to
sufferin the slightest degree, and wEsn
the ship req ched port he pranced down
the gangplank us sportively as a.
thoroughbred ought to prance.

Genesis Of the Bowie Knife.

John Sewell, the grandfather OF the
writer, came to Texas with DeWitt's
colony, and being a gunsmith and
blacksmith, set up a shop at Gonzal-
es and was operating there in 1880.
At this time James Bowie was in
Texas prospecting for gold and silver
in the mountains west and northwest
OF San Antonio, and often had des-
perate encounters with the hostile In
dams who infested those regions. In
one of these conflicts Bowie stabbed
an Indian, and the knife blade glanc-
ing against rib Bowie's hand Slip
ped forward, inficting a wound upon
himself in the hand. This accident, I
have been told. suggested the idea
ola guard to keep the hand from slip
ping forward upon the blade in max
ing a hard thrust. There were b
great many cypress trees along the
margin of the Guadalupe river, and
the pioneers in the colonies often es-
tablished single camps along the
river to work this timber up.
On one occasion, as Bowie and his
men were returning from trip they
stopped at one of these shingie-camps
to rest and recruit their horses, and
while SO doing Bowie hittled from
single a pattern of the knife now
inquestion. It's amusing at this day
and time and to see some of the
things now called Bowie knives. On
arriving at Gonzales he went to my
grandfather shop, the only place
then in West Texas where iron and
steel was worked. and asked him il he
could make one like it out of steel.
The blacksmith at once went to work
and soon produced an exact counter
part of the pattern, which was in
every way satisfactory to Col. Bowie.
On presenting the knife my grand
father asked Bowie if he mi ht give
it a name, rs it was peculiar knife.
Being answered in the affirmative, he
said: "Well, l will call it the Bowie
knife. "-Galveston News.
