A Playwriter's Luck.

A man with his trousers in his boot
tops and whip in his hand called at
the box-office of one of the Detroit
theaters the other day, and, after
fumbling about his pocket for awhile.
brought out about a dozen sheets of
foolscap pinned together, and said:

the courteous attendant.

with a fringe of not very grey hair.
Round his cheeks and jaws grows a
scant whisker to match with narrow
canal cut through at the chin; the nose
very delicate and aquiline, the teeth
strong and well preserved, the skin
ruddy, and the whole expression fine,
simple and intellectual. Of course he
wore soft, square-toed boots and a
baggy, broadcloth coat. They are
badges of men of genius-the elderly
ones, at least-and even Rudyard Kip

Surgical Operation on a Mule.

A Georgia veterinary surgeon has
performed quite skillful operation on
a mule. The animals hoofs had grown
out about eight inches long and had
remained in this condition so long that
it was walking on its hind legs some
thing like bear. The surgeon had
three inches of it's hoof sawed off and
had it shod in such manner as to
straighten it up on its feet again.

The Story of Life.

Only the same old story, told in different
strain;
Sometimes a smile of gladness, and then
stab of pain;
Sometimes fash of sunlight, again the drift
ing rain.
Sometimes it seems to borrow from the GRIM
son rose its hue;
Sometimes black with thunder, then changed
to q brilliant blue;
Sometimes as false as Satan, sometimes as
Heaven true.
Only the same old storyl But, o, how the
changes ringl
Prophet and priest and peasant soldier and
scholar and King;
Sometimes the warmest hand-clasp leaves in
the palm sting.
Sometimes in the hush of even, sometimes in
the midday strife,
Sometimes with dove-like calmness some
times with passions rife,
We dream it. write it, live it, this weird, wild
story of life.

A nd watch the folds of its imperial train
Catching in feecy foam a thousand CLOVIS
A miracle of fire unquenched by sea.

Whirls the whole armament, till as you gaze,
All else unseen, it is as heaven itself
Had lost its poise, and each unanchored star
In phantom haste fees to the horizon line.

We Must Work..

A most inevitable fact connected
with our existence ia that if we would
become prosperous or successful at all
we must work nor isany one excluded.
Whether you are behind pillow or a
desk, sweeping a'chimney or govern
ing state, digging ditch or editing
a paper, grinding scissors or compiling
text books, work you must. Look
around you and YOU will see that the
men VINO are aDTc TO IfvcsUDe rest OF
their days without working are those
who have spent the most of their
time in the hardest work. Don't be
afraid of killing yourself with over
work; some do, but tits because they
quit work at six p. IN. and don't go
home until two a. m. 1t is not the
work but the interval that kills them.
The world is not proud of men who
do not work; in fact it is ignorant of
their existence. They have fallen so
far behind in the worlds progressive
they ever enlisted in its busy ranks.
Find out what you want to be and
do, then take off your coat, roll up
your sleeves and go forth into the
worlds great workshop, where you
will find the rough material awaiting
your skillful hand. The old saying,
"There is always room at the top"
does not apply to those who are un-
willing to climb. We live in an age
Of activity, an age of aggression, a
time of universal emulation, time
when persistent effort is the only
sure way to success, and if we would
become prosperous in, the vocation Of
our choice we cannot rest on oars and
wait for favorable tide of circum-
stances to bear us away to the harbor
of fortune. A man. may have genius,
but he cannot depend upon that
alone, else he will end in miserable
failure. The best genius is hard
work. The sober, Industrious, God
fearing young man is the one who
will be crowned with q successful and
happy life here below and glory in
the one above.-College Echo.

Mon that women Abhor.

The chivalric gentleman never
boasts of his popularity with the
ladies, but the coxcomb has the in
effable meanness to brag of favors
that he never has received, and that
he is an object OF admiration in quar-
tiers where he is regarded as a nuis-
ance. Now and then one of these
pretenders gets horsewhipping from
the indignant brother or lover or hus-
band of some lady whose taste as well
as character he has libeled, but many
OF the tribe-more's the pity-go I'M
whipped Of justice. We recently
heard of one of the genus who is in
the habit Of procuring the cartes de
yisite of ladies at Photographic estab-
lishments for the purpose of exhibit
ing them to his male acquaintance
as portraits sent to him by the fas-
cinated originals. There are some
witnesses which can only be reached
and adequately punished by the right
arm of u private ayenger, and this is,
we think, one of them. Only fools
of the lowest caliber seek popularity
I'm this way. All women, without
exception, abhor such men.--New

III Were a Girl.

Is.sI would take care Of my haaltl by
living outdoors as much as possible,
and taking long walks in the sun
shine. English girls understand how
necessary this is for good complex,
ions and cheerful spirits. Wear sim
pie clothing, that you may climb
mountains and breathe freely.
would secure the best education.
Go to college, by all means, If it is
possible. A woman, in these days, if
she would be attractive as well as
useful, must be intelligent. Edu-
Gated men need educated wives.
Children need educated mothers
Women themselves need a broad edu-
cation, lest their thoughts become
eentered in clothes or in the small
round of society gossip which belit-
ties. Read good books and thereby
become intelligent.
/ would cultivate cheerfulness.
Discomfort soon shows itself in the
face. If you have some disappoint-
ments, so do others. If you. are
cramped for money, be thankful that
your lot is no worse than it is. Learn
to make the best of things. An un-
happy woman is perpetual cloud in
home. A fretful girl has few
friends, and the number lessons year
by year.
would say kind things of others,
especially Of girls. A girl who makes
unkind remarks about other girls had
better he avoided by young men. She
will not make an agreeable companion
for life.
would learn how to be self-sup-
porting. Especially in this, country.
where fortunes change, it Is wise for
woman to be able to care for her
self. Helpless women are not COM
fort to others, and usually are not to
themselves.
would try to be polite everywhere.
True courtesy is more winsOme than
a pretty face or fine dress. Loud talk
OF loud dress does not betoken the
lady. Be appreciative and sympa-
thetic, and you have two Keys which
will unlock almost all hearts.
/ would learn sef-control. To
know when to speak and when TO be
silent, to have hateful things said
about you and be able TO answer
pleasantly, to have people cOnfide in
you and be wise enough to keep it
locked in your own heart, 10 be in
poverty and not be soured by it, TO
meet temptation and be strong before
1t, to be strong enough TO perform any
labor or duty that needs TO be Done
all this shows noble mastery over
elf.
