THE BOOK OF LIFE.


Our LIES book-a different page
Is turned each day;
The mysteries the next conceals
None dare to say
The binding of Life's book is Hope,
With Faith enwove;
The golden rim about its leaves
Is human love.
And each event, each deed of ours,
Itself prints there
In blurred type, Sin; while virtue stamps
In letters clear.
Each noble act performed is marked
in blue and gold;
But all unjust or wicked deeds,
Black lines enfold.
A bright, illuminated scroll
Adorns each page
For each temptation we withstand
From youth to age.
Our daysits numbered folios are.
And Death its clasp.
The power to make this volume fair
Is in our grasp.
So live that when all work is done
And laid aside,
Our children's eyes may look upon
The Book with pride,
Then, void of shame or haunting fear,
1t may be read,
When, haply, we may rest among
The honored dead

How 10 Keep Fish When Caught.

The angler should take care Of his fish
after he has caught them. 1t is discred-
liable to fetch back lot of sun aud
wind dried fish, all curled up and stiff
Put handful of grass or ferns in the
bottom of the creel and kill The fish as
soon as caught by hitting them sharp
blow on the back of the head. If the
weather is hot clean the mornings catch
at noon, and every few hours dip the
creel in TIE stream. The best way to
keep fish to take home is as follows:
Clean them thoroughly, taking care to
remove the gills and the blood under the
backbone; wipe dry inside and out but
do not wash them; sprinkle them inside
with black pepper, bat on no account use
salt. Pack in cool, fresh grass, and keep
them in the shade. If ice IS used it
should be put in a tin can, or at least at
the bottom of the creel, for it spoils the
flavor of fish to have them soaking in
water.-Forest and Stream.

The Tariff.

How will this everlasting tariff
question be settled anyhow? Days
and weeks and months of discussion
only seem to make the matter mo- 9
mysterious and inscrutable. Both
sides are equally emphatic and obsti-
nate that they are right and that the
country will go to the "demnition
bow-wows" if their views are not
adopted. Meanwhile the average
voter, not to say average Congress
man, is hopelessly befogged. If this
thing goes on much longer the peo-
pie will presently get SO disguised
with the whole matter that they will
ditch the entire tariff system over
board and see what will come of it.
