Man is commonly noun, but when
bore gets hold of him he is a verb
verb of suffering, an objective, alb
jective, injected, detected, congested,
writhing verb. The bore is all the
other parts of speech except go.
The known bore is comparatively
harmless, none seeking, all fleeing his
presence, but heretofore who has been
able to protect himself against the un-
suspected or sporadic varieties? A
grave and silent-seeming stranger
| often develops an exceedingly severe
half hour, and Jack, generally all jol-
lily, now and then exhibits on the per-
son of his best friend unmistakable ev

tions with such accuracy that map
of the affected region is readily drawn.
Crossed on the Kodak, this is just
what the bore requires. With proper
magnifying lenses the approaching
area of dulness can be discerned afar
off and avoided as readily as by means
of the barometer the navigator pro-
vides against the storm.

special gong, how distinctly it would
say: Illimitable lacerative language
waits without.
Hemmed in upon his own individu-
atty, like an adder ringed in fire, the
bore would talk himself to death and,
thanks to the pleximeter, a suffering
world would breathe free.

FAULT-FINDLNG.

There are certain rocks on which
home happiness, if it strike, is very
likely to split. One of these is fault
finding. The habit of grumbling is ia
tai to family peace, and if INDUCED in
habitually by any single member of
household is sure to disturb the har-
mony of all the rest. Like most bad
habits this is formed insensibly, and
many inveterate and fretful fault find
ers are so unconscious of their beset-
ting sin that in their own eyes they
are models of amiability. eff" they
say, $50 and so were never done or
undone we would never complain, but
~
Alasl in most houses there are offs"
and ''buts." The most delightful and
lovable people are only human after
all, and have their nervous days and
their forgetful days and their days of
being generally out of sorts and blue.
Very many people have their sharp
points, which must be avoided, and
their weak places, which are getting
into the way; and in fact there are
very few of US who have not some
where a spot where it would be quite
safe to erect such a warning as in win
ter stands at intervals on the skating
ponds, danger here!'' To live with
people in the familiarity and complete
unreserve of domestic life, and to live
so gently and pleasantly that no ones
foibles are made manifest, no ones
feelings wounded, and no ones i'm
personality unjustly invaded, implies
tact, unselfishness and almost sanity
patience on the part of all concerned.
There are homes where love is so com
pletely the motive power, and courte
sy so unfailingly the custom, that
a ripple of trouble rarely disturbs
their calm. Unfortunately, such
homes are not in the majority. In
far too many houses there are often
undignified and unnecessary scenes at
breakfast, dinner and tea, which are
not quite quarrels, but which are prob
ably worse in their effects.
''But there are legitimate occasions
for fault-fnding, are there not?" in
quires somebody: Very likely, and
when such arise meet them as it is the
best way to meet every difficulty in
life fairly, squarely and bravely. Say
the act is wrong in plain words
and have it done. 1t is one thing to
reprimand or reprove where reproof
or rebuke is duty; it is quite another
to keep up a scattering fire of small
shot in the way of sarcasm, inuendo
and complaint for half day at time.
The true remedy in nine cases out
of ten, when circumstances are con-
trary, is to accept the situation, "Be-
ware of desperate steps-the darkest
day, live till tomorrow will have pass
ed away" The most aggravating ser
want, the most provoking neighbOr,
and the most wilful child are not proof
against serene self control and gener-
Gus kindness, while fault finding sows
seed that comes up i'll harvest of
new antagonisms. Accept the situa
ton, whatever it is, with courage and
cheerfulness, and remember that nei
Their nerves, temper, carving knives,
nor coffee, were ever in the slightest

Her First Dag in HeaUen.

We wonder how it seems to her
To lay aside the work of life
Its cares, its troubles and its strife,
And be with God.
We wonder what were in her thoughts
AS she awoke to see the dawn
of that bright, never-ending morn,
In Gods own home.
We wonder if the bells were ringing,
To welcome her, the ransomed one,
Saved by the blood of Christ, the Son,
Who died on Calvary.
We know it is happy day!
We know she must rejoice and sing
As she beholds her blessed King
Jesus, the Lord.
We miss her kind and pleasant ways;
We would have kept her with us still;
And yet we pray, "Oh God, Thy will,
Not ours, be done"
We will not weep for our dear friend;
She is at rest-an angel fair
We pray that we may meet her there,
When we are called.

Children at Pldu.

Play on. sweet children, dance and sing.
And merry make life's golden prime;
1t will not, dears, be always spring,
And life will have its autumn time.
Play on, and with your music wake
In other hearts, as now in mine,
Those aspirations which partake
Less of the earthly than divine.
Play on. beneath the summer sky,
Amid the flowers that bloom around,
As happy as the birds that fiy
With peace and love and glory crowned.
Play on while scented breezes kiss,
And gently toss your golden hair,
And every gloomy thought dismiss
And / will in your pleasures share.
I seem to be child again
Once more leap amid the thrOng;
Farewell to care-adieu to pain
Join exulting in your song.
The rose still fingers on my cheek,
There are no wrinkles on my brow,
And with the hopes of youth I speak;
Alasl can be aged now?
Each happy word, each playful air,
Each smile of gladness, look of love,
Springs to my heart and moves it where
A thousand scenes have failed to move
Though weak my viii and dull my ear,
With stiffened limbs and failing sight,
/ leap-forgetful of my years
And with you in the sports unite.

The liquor traffic is a fatal tempta
ton and snare. tits man-trap and
a death trap. It multiplies its blan-
dishments and lures it's unwary vic
tins to death and damnation. No
wonder that Lord Chesterfield, in
words as eloquent as they were burn
ing, should say of rumsellers: "Let US
crush out these artists in human
slaughter, who have reconciled their
countrymen to sickness and ruin, and
spread over the pitfalls Of debauchery
such bats as men can not resist.''

THE GREATEST QUESTION.

Mrs. Helen M. GOuger lately said:
''The enfranchisement of the women,
one-h half of the people of this Repub-
lie, is the greatest moral, social and
political reform now before the Amer
lean nation. Politically, it viii make
great changes in the character of the
government. Where the almighty
dollar is the chief consideration now,
we shall find room and occasion to
promote the almighty brain and heart
power along with our material growth.
When / note that over 81, 900 arrests
for crime were made in Chicago last
year, and that there was one arrest
for every twenty citizens, counting
man, woman and child, and that these
arrests cost $3.50, 900 before the cost of
iails is taken into account, it would
seem that political change of some
sort is advisable. I do not claim that
women would bring about political
millennium, but [ do know that Wher
ever their influence is untrammelled,
it is in the most part for good. 1t
would supplement the efforts of good
men, and would give the better ele-
ment majority. One of the knotti-
est problems before this country is
municipal government. Andrew d.
White, writing for the Forum on this
subject declares: Without the slight
est exaggeration, we may assert that,
with very few exceptions, the city
Of tho TT11ita6 Sfotpc
the worst in ChristendOm, the most
inefficient, and the most corrupt In
the face of the fact that the cities con-
troll the politics of our states, and that
the vicious classes control our cities,
the time is ripe for US to seek a rene
dy. There is but one, and if this fails,
then our government must follow in
the wake of every other popular gov
eminent; it must be destroyed thro'
its own corruption. Gentlemen, you
have not the reserve force within
your own ranks with which to meet
this monstrous enemy of our republic.
For all classes of men vote now, ma
tive and foreignb born, black, white,
and red, iterate and illiterate, drunk
and sober, rich and poor, good and
bad. You must turn to the women,
and if this experiment proves fail
ure, then our government will prove
a failure But it will not fail. You
must put the home vote over against
the slum vote, the mother over against
the hummer, and this will rescue our
cities from their present mob rule"

a long letter; but life had rubbed a
little sense into me, and kept that
letter in my pocket against the day
when l could look it over without agi-
tation and without tears. l was glad

thing conceivable sometimes. 1t is
strength in its very grandeur. It is
like a regiment ordered to stand still
