Now or When?

On the wall OF an ancient Minister
In a rare old English town,
From one OF its outer towers
dial looketh down.
Whereon appears legend,
And thousands OF passing men
Have read In the centuries olden
Its warning-"Now or When?"
Still dwellers within the city,
And strangers from lands afar,
AS they con the striking motto,
Fore'er eXhorted are
Be IT morn or noon or even
BY those words none fail to ken
The present Is yours; that only
Is certain-"Now or WhenY"
That others who ne'er in person
May the dial quaint behold
Shall yet its message ponder;
Its story here is told
Hast thou aught thou wouldst accomplish
By deed or voice or penn
This moment is thine; no other
Art thou promised-"Now or When2"
Rev Philip b. Strong, in Golden Days.

said: "The times are hard and bread ia dear
when work is not,
And sad, indeed, is poverty, and lonely is its
lot;
And faint the gleam of silver is, and far the
CLEAN OF gold;
The chilly winds are blowing, but the hearth at
homo is cold"
Then one climbed up and twined her arms-her
little arms, SO whtel
Around my neck, and softly said: ~ love papa
tonight"
And as she cuddled close to me-the winsome
little witchi-
The times were hard no longer, for her love had
made me richi

strategy; told numberless falsehoods to
both of them, and managed, in short
space of time to provoke quarrel be-
tween them.
Aunt Marion was very proud and
sensitive, sought no explanation from
her whilom admirer, trusted her friend
and lost her lover.
I'm year or two she heard of their
marriage, which opened her ewes lit
tie, and caused the girlish friendship
to be broken off. Two years ago she
received letter from this woman,
who, 1T seems, was dying, confessing
the whole truth. She also left an ex-
planation for her husband, which he
found when she was dead. After
awhile, Aunt Marion acceded to
the widower's repeated entreaties
to be allowed to call-and in
few months they were engaged.

other woman good husband, but he
did not really love her, for his wife

first love, and only married her in graf

had deceived him. think" continued

THE SUPERIORITY OF WOMEN
An Old Custom That VIII Some Day Giva

w
Way to n Better One.
How long can it reasonably be eX-
pected that the old custom will last in
Difference to which wives are content to
be known by the surnames of their
husbands? All the recent tests tend to
show the superiority of the female
mind to that of the male. Mrs. Alice
Freeman Palmer in recent address
supported the cause of coeducation
with the argument that nothing in
the world will take the foolishness and
romantic notions out of a girl so quick
as to work with young men and find
out how little they know" OF course
marriage has the same effect; but after
a girl is married it is too late for her to
save her maiden name. If she arrives
before marriage to the sophisticated
stage that Mrs. Palmer describes, she
may very reasonably demur to giving
up name which she feels competent
to distinguish for one which will be
handicapped by her husbands relative
inferiority. All along the line this
summer women have triumphed.
In the recent assignment of gen
eral fellowships by the Chicago
university young women got so dispro-
portionate a share of the spoils as to
scandalize the authorities. When the
London Geographical society declined in
the spring to admit women to its men,

With some of us hope never comes to

The tears that come easy go easy.
Trust is the strongest link in the
chain of association.
Not one time in million are mans
tears dishonest; what may be said of a
woman's is different.

Ills mind was in perpetual spasm
ABOUT the cause OF protoplasm
Ana wen twas caused he longed to know
Jest what 1t was that made it grow
he longed to know just what 1t was,
The cause behind the primal cause
Just what was Chaos made OF, and
Upon what ground did Chaos standY
He wished to know what II could be
When in the shape Of nebul@;
And what was natures underptnning
Fore 1t began In the beginning!
He louged TO know how II began,
The much-debat ted Fall of Man,
What language Eden's old snake talkedf
And II upon its tail 1t waIkedr
And IL we'd landed high an dry
Had Ewes old apple hung too hlghf
He tried TO find some one TO tell
or the "lost tribes OF Israel"
And twas the problem OF his life
To find out who was old Gains wife.
And lust how much the world would gain
Had Abel lived, instead of Cain.
But his coarse neighbors wished to know
How his poor old wife could sew
Enough to buy him clothes and food
And feed seven children--hungry brood.
They were dull-minded creatures, so
This simple thing they longed to know.

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION,

This is competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the COZ petitOrs risking the loss of their
labor and the sue essful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the .one who
helps himself to th5 best advantage is to be
rewa cded for doinT it. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without 1t. The architect
whose competitive plan for a club house on q
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something of very little use to
him. But the person who patent a simple and
useful device in the Press Claims Company's
competition, need not worry If he fail to Sc
cure the prize. He has a substantial result to
show for his work-One that will command it's
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article In his
daily work ought TO know better how to I'M
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies IL only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds In combining simplicity and popu-
larty, will get the Press Claims Company's
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
judged from tue fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

The Little Things the Most Valuable

Comparatively few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of the1little frictions OF life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought
why don't the railroad company make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without b eaking the passengers
backeY exclaims the traveller. "If l were
running the road would make them in such
way"
What was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking OFF" grumbles the cook. "He
never h I'D TO work over a stove or he would
nave known how it ought to have been fixed"
Hang such collar button!", growls the
man who is late for breakfast. "If were in
the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
slip out, or break Off, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grievar es and begin to think of some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents. they might find themselves as IN
dependently wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the one who
