PATIENCE
Be PATIENT Easy words to speak

Be PATIENT Easy words TO speak
While plenty fills the cup Of life,
While health brings roses to the check,
And far removed are care and strife.
Falling so glibly from the tongue
OF those-I often think Of this
Whom suffering has never wrung.
Who scarcely know what patience is.
Be PATENT when the suf rer lies
PROSTATE beneath some fell disease,
And longs. through torturing sgonies,
Only for one short hour OF ease.
Be patient when the weary brain
Is raked with thought and anxious care,
And troubles in an endless train
Seem almost more than 1t can bear.
To feel the torture Of delay.
The agony of hope deferred;
To labor still from day to day,
The prize unwou, the prayer unheard.
And still to hope and strife and wait
The due reward OF fortunes kiss:
This is to almost conquer fate,
This is TO learn what patience is
Despair not though the clouds are dark,
And storm and danger veil the sky;
Let fate and courage guide thy barque,
The storm is past, the port is nigh.
Be patient, and the tide will turn,
Shadows will flee before the sun:
These are the hopes that live and burn
To light us till our work is done.
An the Year Round.

A StOrk MOnnnOliSt.

In Skane, in the southern part oil
Sweden, a pair OF storks lived for many
years on the roof OF my fathers parson.
age. One spring, u pair OF young storks
appeared in the place, who, after survey
ing the cid ncst-probably their parental
home-set about building their habita'
ton on the opposite side of the roof.
When it was finished and the eggs had
been laid, the old female stork returned,
took look ut the newcomers, but al
lowed them to remain in their home IN
peace. Her attention was soon occupied
by a number of young sultors, who zeal
ously wooed her, though she rejected all
their offers. Some days later, this PeLc'
lope among birds was rewarded by the
arrival of her old mate.
But then came an end to the truce with
the young birds. Thatv evening the
old stork, followed by his female com.
pauion, flew to the nest OF the new
corners. BY violent blows of their beaks
they first put the young male stork to
flight, and then began to attack the sit

usage and remained upon her eggs. The
assailants then altered their tactics. One
continued to attack the young mother
bird, while the other, watching till III
her struggles to evade the blows an egg
became uncovered, instantly pushed 1t
out OF the nest. Thus, one by one, the
four precious eggs were remorsely sacri'
feed. When all the eggs had been de-
stroyed, the young female stork. after
standing for some time in the courtyard,
looking up to her ruined home as in de.
spair, sadly dew away. There was never
any sign of that pair OF storks on our
roof again. The old ones had attained
their end; henceforth they we're the only
storks in that part OF the country, aud
were left in sole possession OF its food
supply. To the inhabitants of our par.
sonage, whose sympathies for the old
storks were thus rudely shaken, 1t seemed
Just retribution that, though the birds
had some eggs that summer, none were
Matched, and thus the old storks had to
return alone to their Southern quarters
that winter-s solitary pair. London

An Attempted Murder.

Last Saturday, Buffalo Gap was the
scene of shooting affray which brings
to mind the days when such affairs were
of frequent occurrence down there.
George Messenger was the man who did
tine shooting last Saturday, and L. b.
Reno. . man we'll known throughout
the Hills, was the intended victim.
The story told by Reno and corroborat-
ed by others who are supposed to bs "a
miliar with the facts, 10 a. follows;
Some time ago Mrs. Messenger CON-
menced proceedings for divorce FROM
her husband, employing Reno a. her
attorney. Messenger tried to persuade
Reno not to commence the action. and
because his request was not granted
the former threatened to take the attor-
neys life. No attention was paid TO his
threats aud Saturday afternoon Reno ar
ranged meeting between the husband
and wife with Q view to making ar.
rangements for the care of their child

somebody. Quicker than Il takes to tell

domen, pulled the trigger. The bullet

escape from tragic death IL that the
cartridge used was Of 3S caiibre. Being
too small for the gun the charge leet iti
force and the resistance offered by the
clothing was sufficient to stop the bull

distely taken into custody. The pre-,
liminary examination was conducted
Monday and Messenger was held to an
swer TO the charge OF assault with intent
TO kill. The amount Of the bail bono
fixed 10 $500, and being unable to -
