GRANDMOTHER SAID.

always set your chair Dack when you are
going away;
Don't leave it in the middle of the room or
standing carelessly."
This is what grandmother said. as often, when
boy,
jumped up and ran out of doors reckless
hobble-de-hoy.
always set your chair back when you are
going away;
Don't leave it in the middle Of the room or
standing carelessly."
These words, repeated long ago, como ever
fresh to mind,
When little duties are o'erlooked or left to lag
behind.
In the daily walks of busy life when We think
we haven't time
70 be orderly and almost look upon pohtenoss
as a crime,
We are quite too apt, from carelesshess. 70
think, il not to say,
That it matters not il we forget to set cur
chairs away.
But it will be found that daily life will bo
more worth the living
If we blend, in harmony, the precepts Of re-
ceiving and of giving;
If we heed the tender chidirigs dealt out In
childhood's day,
And always "set our chair back when we arc
going away"

she said, pointing to the straw.
The earl hastily crept in among the
slumbering children, taking the young
est one in his arms. There was no little
auarreling at first.
"How big brother Max has grown" "
said one little girl as she snuggled close
beside the mighty potentate who had
taken refuge in that rude bed.
"Why can he not come to bed earlier
and not awake us?" grumbled faxen
haired boy.
But they soon became quiet, and the
earl lay still with Gretchen slumbering
beside him and flaxen haired Hans snor-
ing fearlessly.
Meanwhile loud pounding had sum-
moned the widow to the door again.
Where is the man who has just en-
tered thy hut?" demanded savage Gan
tois.

The man casts quick glance within
He saw the ladder leading to the loft,
and taking the light from the widows
hands he hurriedly assembled. A row of
children huddled together was all that
he saw, and he descended again. "The
woman is right" he muttered to the
crowd. "There is only nest of chill
dren sleeping together like pigs in sty,
and there isn't room enough for an ant
to hide, much less the Earl of Flanders. 4"
Uttering cries Of balked vengeance,
the throng of White Hoods, as they were
called, pushed on, while the earl, with a
thankful heart for his wonderful pres
ervation, went to sleep in the company
of the young children. Sorely wearied
by fatigue, he slept as soundly in the
mud hovel of the poor widow as though
he had lain in one of his own palace
chambers.
The next morning was the Sabbath,
and the great earl was awakened by the
wondering cries Of the children.
"How funny! Brother Max has come
to bed with his clothes on, cried the lit
tie girl, who had slept all night in the
arms of her illustrious bedfellow.
"Hush, Minna," cried Max himself
"It is some friend of mothers. l heard
him last night when he came in"
MAY, but am friend to you all"
said Earl Louis. "From this hour count
the Earl of Flanders your protector.
The children were hushed to silence at
the mention of that great name, and the
earl presently descended to the lower
room, where he found the pious widow
singing her Sunday morning hymn
"And who art thou, to whom Louis of
Flanders owes his lifef' asked the earl.
II am the widow Of Dolph the Diker,
whom the wicked mon of Ghent slew
when he was at work for his lawful SOW
ereign."

ALONE.
think that l am quite alone

think that am quite alone
Since that strange night, the mystic night
that hung
Tranced mid her stars to listen, when, mine
own,
Those few short words arose from heart to
tongue,
And as you whispered them life changed to be
Something rapt, glorifled, sublime, to me.
The soft gloom hung about us like veil.
Only the gifmfner in the western skies
Crcpt in to show your lips were passion pale,
To read the rapture in your half closed eyes,
And then those words were spoken, and the
rest
Was hushed in happy silence on your breast.
Morning and daylight swept away the dream,
Life clasped her fetters and resumed her
sway,
Only soft. sweet knowledge like CLEAN.
fingered around each hour of all the day.
And even the bitter ring of the farewell
With gentler note upon the spirit fell.
And since, my darling, though broad leagues
of space
Are spread between us, though dim, dull and
mute
Is life without the sunshine of thy face,
Is life without the echo of your foot.
So all encompassed by your love am
That my blank ways are trod contentedly.
Since in all evil things think how you
Would soothe them-in all happy things
think
How you would prize them-set to measure
true, ns
There is no discord In our perfect link.
With thought, faith. hope, with life and love
your own.
How can your chosen ever feel "alone?"

Prices For Sermons.

MucA has been said Of the practice of
buying and selling sermons, practice,
by the way, of no very special novelty.
just before Toplady was about to be or
dained, Osborne, the bookseller, the
friend Of johnson, offered to supply him
with stock of original sound sermons
for trifle. 81 would sooner buy Sec
endhand Clothes" was the tart reply.
Don't be offended" said Osborne. ''I
have sold many to bishop" The price
of sermons, as of all else, has varied
with the times. In 1910 bishop Of
LANDAU received from the churchwar-
dens of ST. Margaret's, Westminster, for
q sermon ON the Annunciation, pike,
price 2s. AZ, gallon of wine, pence,
and boat hire-in all 3s. 4d. In the
seventeenth century sermons seem to
have been valued at about 5 shillings

BOTH WANTED THE SCHOOL.

Tho Woman Took Things a. They Came,
the Position Included.
Rather an amusing race for school
senger train was wrecked about mile
west of here. Only one school in the
county remained not contracted for.
Two teachers living in San Diego
wanted the school. Both obtained their
certificates Monday. The trustees lived
at Pena and ealitos, in the West end of
the county. The teachers must see the
trustees at once. One was a strong man;
the other young lady. Both Learned
that the other was an applicant for tho
school. Both boarded the train Tuesday
to see the trustees. Both wele on the
wrecked train when out afew miles from
town. Both were in predicament.
The man said to himself: q am :
man. can walk" and he starred out
afoot to see the trustees.
The lady. being woman, sat quietly
and waited developments until the train
would go.
The strong man walked to BenRvides,
16 miles. On his way he obtained
mule and took the road IS miles further
for the home of the trustees, certain he
was the lucky one, as he was man.
And he thought of his opponent sitting
back at San Diego in the wrecked train.
But the walk of 16 miles and mule
ride of 50 miles took time. In the nIeail-
time the wrecking train at San Iliego
had done its work, and to make long
story short as the solitary mule rider
loped up to the home of the trustees
whom did he see but the young lady,
with the trustees before her, who lbad
just signed the contract? She had se-
cured the school, having bided hor time,
and reached the place on tho wreclsd
train, feeling happy that in this pro
gressive age woman is obtaining her
rights.

HOW HE ESCAPED.

During the middle ages the country
now called Belgium was known by the
name of Flanders, or perhaps it would
be better to say that Flanders was the
largest of the several feudal provinces
included in that territory, Latterly, how
ever, Flanders Comprised not only what
Is known as modern Belgium, but also a
large part IT Holland and northern
France. The ruler of the country was
called an earl, and in the latter part of
the fourteenth century Louis de Malatin
wore the coronet, which he had inherited
from long line of earls, all Of whom
lay sleeping in glory in the abbey Of
Blandigni.
The proud and wealthy burghers
chafed under the sovereignty of the
feudal lords, and in Ghent particularly
this feeling of independence was very
strong. The earl, who noted the popu-
lar disaffection, made haste therefore
to depart from Ghent and removed his
residence to the city of Bruges, where he
had a strong castle.
Now, Earl Louis was neither a wise
statesman nor brave general, and he
foolishly augmented the public i'll will
by endeavoring to rob Ghent of its SUI
perior advantages. -Four noble rivers
supplied the city with it's commercial
and manufacturing facilities. Bruges
had no river, and SO body of dikers
were sent to construct canal by which
the waters of dhent might be conveyed to
Bruges. But the men of Ghent fell upon
them and put them to death.
Earl Louis then dispatched another
company, which met with the same fate
There were decided acts Of rebellion, but
~ meA .eE Qhsns were n the right. and
