TREASURE in Heaven draws inter
est on earth,
WORK for God must be done in
cody way.
GIVE greed the rein and it will run
itself to death.
HoPE's best pictures are made for
contented people.
WHES you give advice don't try to
put it all in italics
SUCCESS on earth sometimes means
very little in Heaven.
IT will not make you any cleaner

No ONE can look at the stars with

EVERY land that flows with milk

THERE can be no such thing as the
right use Of a wrong thing.
No MAN ever backslides while he
is praising God as he ought.
ONLY those who have a love for
souls know how to win them.
EVERY one Of the devils arrows is
dipped in the poison Of doubt
WHEN truth goes to battle it
always lights n The TT0nt 9aIlS
OUR mistakes sometimes attract
more attention than our virtues
THE most eloquent thing on earth
is sp1tless Christian character
To OPPOSE Gods work in our own
hearts is to oppose it everywhere
No MAN has great faith who does
not know that he has a great God.
ALL truth is nonsense to the man
who has taken lie into his heart
IT is easier not to speak at all than
it is to keep from saying too much.
SOME men join church with no bet

The devil can always lind time to

WHOEVER will receive Christ as

One Of Gods ways Of helping us TO

It became a regular thing for
johnny to look for the knot-hole sev-

Penny, who kept house for the young

to pass that this "peeping Tom fell
very deeply in love with the sweet
girl who was his brothers aAianced

her stepmothers life. During the
long, hot afternoons she would soothe
the fretful baby and amuse the other

In tine solitude of his own room
johnny was thinking of Rose. How
dearly he loved her Three weeks
ago he had not given her one thought
now he thought of her continually
He felt so restless If he could
only hear her voice Just once more
that night He decided to go and sit
by the fence-she might be singing
child To sieep-the windows would be
open, for it was warm night
Down the stairs he went, putting and
blowing at each step stairs were such
a trial to him When he reached the
fence his heart gave bouns he
heard her voice, He listened She
was speaking to someone.
The poor fellow, She was saying.
81 thought he understood that was
trying to make him like me for your
sake. 0. Will, ! feel like CRYING my
eyes out And then he heard his
brothers voice. He saw 1t all in a
minute He fled back to the house.
His surprise was so great that he
almost forgot to suffer.

ROMANCE OF A FREAK.

A wonderful event had taker place
in johnny Porter's life; he hne walked
beside a pretty girl for six whole
blocks, and She had not only not
laughed at him. but had acted as gra-
riou7ly MS II he had not been johnny
Porter As he traverscd the path That
stretched between the front gate and
piazla Of the house his hcart was as
light a, his footsteps were heavy a

ter's weight was 500 pounds
His misfortune doubly eudeared him
to his twin brother, viii, who was
everything young man of - should

might have been The brothers were
Joint owners Of their little home one
of the prsttiest in the town The
house was So covered with rose vines
mud the yard so full of rose bushes
that the plnce was called Rose Cot

piazza steps to rest this morning things
looked unusually beautiful to him in

Two OF the children had dispute
while up in the tree, and one fell out
OF it. Johnny happened to be at the
lyot-hole He saw Rose rush out Of
ne house He could not stand her
iook OF terror. and lac stepped mp ON
the bench. He isn't much hurt, he
called ont Don't be frightened.
The turf is SO soft you know.
The child hushed crying and found
his feet and gazed at Johany. Rose
said pleasantly
ooh. it'syou, Mr. Porter.
johnny began to apologize for his
position.
you needn apologize, Rose has
tened to say. "I don't mind your
looking over the fence bit Then
she smiled again, and that night
johnny Porter dreamed of her.
The next day, Just before noon, as
Rose was singing her little sister to
sleep out in the yard, Johnny handed
her over an enormous bouquet of
roses. His face was crimson with
blushes, and he was speechless at his
own temerlty
"How exquisite Are they Tor me!
Rose asked as she went to the fence
to receive them
Nv III has certainly limited to the
poor fellow OF our engagement, she
told her mother, as she showed her
the flowers. VIII had gone to Frisco
on business trip, and how pleased he
would beto know OF Johnny S attempts
at making friends with her.
During the next week johnny al
most lived at the fence, and whenever
Rose had occasion to SIT out III the
yard be would mount his bench and
speak to her. She always allowed him
to see that she was pleased They be-

say to herself. 81 shall be very good
to him.
She didn't write to Will about it.
1t would be 50 pleasant to tell him
And Johnny began to build air castles
such extensive ones Life grew to
have meaning for him. He read up
on the subject of obesity. He as
tonished Mrs. Penny by refusing to
partake Of his fayorite dainties. He
ate dried toast rigidly in spite Of the
hakv biscuits and mullins she put be-
fore him. He took long walks around
the garden, and had himself weighed
every few days. When he had lost
one of his pounds of flesh his delight
knew no bounds He imagined him
self Wills weight All then, per
hop,-
Then Will came home He entered
quietly He wanted to surprise
johnny Not finding him i'll the house
he went INTO the garden, and to his eN-
