Our lives are. made up OF little
things, which some may call triAes,
but they are not to be despise.i, The
nerve OF tooth is a very little thing,
but its effect is some times great.
The warrior who has withsteod
death in thousand forms may be
killed by, the mere stang Of small
but poisonous insect. e..
Moments are golden sands of time,
and every day little lifetime; our
whole life is but day repeated.
Those, therefore, who dare to lose q
day are dangerously prodigal.
Springs are very little :hiugs, but
they are the source OF small streams,
which gradually widen into larger
ones ones and form our rivers. e..
In the life of Il man there are no
such things as triflss. Little things
IN youth accumulate into character
in axe, and determine destiny in eter-
nIty, just as the sands make up the
bar in the harbor's mouth, on which
SO many ships ate wrecked. :

water to every weary, thiesty ole who
passes,
little acts are the true elements Of
greatness; they raise life's value, like
the little figures over the larger ones
in artthm ,tic, to it's highest power.
They indicate the character and help
TO make the immortal man. It is
seldom that arts Of moral heroisn are
called for; the real heroism of life is

and faithfully. One in million,

Men Who Could XIII Bull with Their
Fists.
After the Spanish occupation of the
Grand Canary a certain enormous stone
was for long time pointed out as one
of the instruments of the Gaunche
athletic courses. The natives had been
able to lift il, set it on their shoulders
and even throw it over their heads.
Their degenerate posterity and the
Spanards could not raise it from the
ground. Tradition has immortalized
one Adargoma, of Grand Canary, who
could wrestle for two consecutive
hours, and having been thrown under
most in certain contest got his an.
tagonist between his legs and arms
and squeezed him so that his bones be-
gan to crack. The native was subse.
quently sent as n prisoner to Spain,
where he astounded the people by his
performances. One day, in Seville, he
was visited by a brawny youth of La
Mancha, who was anxious to try O
bout with him. MY good friend, {"
said Adargoma, Gas we are going to
wrcstle together it is only reasonable
that we should begin by drinking some

been brought, lie took this in one hand
and continued 20 address his chal.
lenger: IF with both your arms you
can overpower one of mine, so as 10
hinder me from drinking every drop OF
this wine, we will try our strength to-
ge&her. If not, you may return TO your
home" The struggle took place, and
Adargoma by degrees drained the bowl
in the coolest manner without spilling
a drop of the wine. His one hand was
more than n match for the two. II

born priest of Grand Canary, in the
seventeenth century, showed that he
inherited some of his ancestors vigor,
for, one day, hearing that an enraged
bull had broken loose and was in the
street, he ran out, and, grasping ii
by the leg, threw it down and so held il
until its owner was able to secure II.
This doughty son of the church before
his death CHANGED to have one of his
legs amputated for cancer. II was
then found that his thigh bone was
solid, with no trace of marrow. 1t
must be confessed, however, that the
relics of the Canarians now found in
their burying places do not bear out the
inference that this was national char
acteristic, though their dimensions arc
certainly a testimony of the strength
and size of their late proprietors.-Na

Don't be sorry you're a woman,
says the Albany. Express. The
feeling does you no good, and it's
not generous to us.
Don't hate other women so.
Think of the way you look at one
another in the street. Don't keep
all your politeness for us.
Don't keep smoothing the wrinkles
out of your waist.
A few wrinkles will keep you
from looking hideously smooth, like
a fashion plate.
Don't have your skirt badly fast.
ened at the back so that your under
skirt becomes visible. You can't see
this and no woman seems to tell you.
Don't get off car with your back
to the horses. Men get great deal
OF fun out of your persstency in
doing this. But you are not bound
to amuse them.
Don Z stand at the door of street
car and worry some man near at
hand into giving you seat when
there are empty seats at the head of
the car. You all do this.
Don't leave your handkerchief and
pocketbook in your lap when you
are riding in street car. Some man
will pick them up for you as you
are passing out, but they will get
muddy.
Don't try to have long waist.
For three thousand years the
artists-the professors and con-
servatories of beauty-have been
saying that short waist is the more
beautiful. At last please take the
hint.
Don't wait until you get in front
OF ticket Office window before
taking out your pocketbook. The
wives of the eight men who are
patiently waiting the opportunity
to buy tickets are wondering why
they are so late at home.

When the first vessel completed
the passage of the then new Erie
canal, in 1925, there being no such
thing aus "a telegraph line in those
days, the news was communicated
to New York and to Buffalo by
cannons placed within hearing
distance of each other all the way
along from Albany to each of the
other cities. The signal was pass

MY MOTHERS BIRTHDAY.

MY MOThEH'S BIN 1OAr.
Days Of mingled Joy and grief,
Days OF toll and sweet relief
Days OF languor sore, and pain,
Days OF smiling rest againi
All have passed, and now to-day,
Time pauses on his hurried way,
Smiling with meaning gravely sweet
And lays birthday at your feet.
Much the years have brought TO thee
A tender, boundless charity,
A calm and gracious womanhood,
The strength which wraps the truly good.
A charm 81 manner like the scent
OF violets with breczes blcnt
Life from his treasures manifold,
Hath poured on you his purest gold
And underneath the strain of care,
Like chords of music quaint and rare,
Soft breathings OF affection come,
And All with melody the home.
Sweet heart, Those dear hands of thine
Are made for ministries divine;
For soothing weary ones TO rest,
For clasping children 10 thy breast,
FOR true loves service, simple, sweet,
Leading souls TO the Masters feet,
All life is richer, deeper far
Because Of thee; like q cleaning star
Thy quiet life will brighten all
The darkened way where sad hearts fall
Oh, sweetest, dearest truth divine
That loves pure light will ever shine
All life will ever live and move
Sustained by the Eternal Love.
Thy earnest soul will live TO bless,
with precious stores OF tenderness,
With nevcr-failing charity,
Through cycles of eternity,
The children in the Fathers home;
Helping the weakest one TO come
And leaning on the Fathers breast
Find everlasting peace and rest.

SURROUNDED BY MYSTERY!
A Great Mistake.

A recent discovery is that headache,
dizziness. dullness. confusion OF the mind.
ETC.. are due to arrangement OF the nerve
ccnters which supply the brain with nerve
force; that indigestion. dyspepsia, neuralgia,
wind In stomach. ETC.. arise from the derange-
ment OF the nerve centers supplying these or
gans with nerve fluid or force. This is likewise
true OF many diseases OF the heart and lungs.
as will be seen by the accompanying
