AN ORACLE.

We had chickens plenty, and turkeys few,
And one old gray guinea-of all things to clacN
gunoa's the claclSnest ever you knew;
She just keeps on saying: "Come backl" and
Come backl"
Whcr Twas youngster and also a fool,
II ly're, generally speaking all one, more's
the pity,
thought I'd quit farming and going to school,
And go make my fortune awhile IN the city.
Mother cried good deal, and my father looked
glum,
Though he gave me sort of one.sided con.
sent;
Buthc said; "Recollect, we are always to hum;
You can fetch yourself back when your mon.
ey's all spent"
That doesn't take long, when your pocketbook' S
thin
The board was so high, it was most of 1t eaten;
BOYS seemed at a discounts had to give in
That the old man was right, and the young
one was beaten
To myself twas another concern, as you'll
guess,
10 go back to the farm, and take up at tho
school;
Though knew it was true of me, nevertheless
Ishouldn't enjoy being called young fool
But somehow or other heard, or it seemed,
Above all the noise, that old guinea-hen's
clack;
coudn I get clear of it; everywhere screamed
That guinea's eternal: Come back" and
Come back"
footed 1t home for my money was spent;
The grass was picture, the Sky was another,
And sang to myself every step that l went:
I'm going to mother! I'm going to mother!"
And the very first thing that heard at the gate
Was that silly old guinea-hen's clacBety.clacl,
And holloaed: shut up! You are speaking
too late,
Why, can't you see, stupid, that hare come
back"

What He Said,

The young man had been to call on
the girl the night before and she was
expecting to hear something of espe-
cial interest to her, but somehow,
though he talked a great deal, he did
not say those things she wanted to hear
most. The next morning her mother,
who also was somewhat interested.
broached the subject.
"Mr Henderson stayed quite late
last night, didn't hep" she asked.
Yes, mamma, until eleven o'clock. {"
He kept up a very active converse.

"Yes, mamma"

asked, nervously.
"Yes, mamma"

A judicial vioIator of the 1,o,r

The late Judge Virgin, of Maine, was
very fond of fishing and no disciple OF
lzaak Walton could show greater pa
tience in waiting for a bite than he.
At the same time he appreciated all
the modern appliances in the way of
hooks and tackle. There is a law in
Maine against using trolling spoons in
certain lakes at certain times of the
year, and unfortunately that closed
season used to come at just the time
the judge used to like TO take trip IN
to the ponds about Fryeburg to ''try
his luck" One of the storekeepers
there tells with glee how the Judge on
such occasions used to come into his
place and ask with solemnity: Have
you any OF those unlawful fish-hooksp"
The merchant would confess that he
did have some. well, then, the Judge
would add, give me three. "-Boston

he set about getting rich by advertise

the stuff, and they thought that they
rapidly grew better.
THE doctor was into about every
thing going. If man advertised for
proposals to build IL sewer he would
answer it. One of the big hotels in New
York wanted bids to supply it with
water. That was before the days of
the city water works and the water
had to be pumped up by each landlord
to the upper floors.
The doctor put in a bid and got the
contract. Then he set up a treadmill
in his sanitarium and connected it with
big pump. He told all his nervous
patients that what they wanted was
physical exercise and set them at work
on the treadmill The patients would
go to the sanitarium and work by the
hour, paying for the privilege and all
the while they were helping the doctor
to carry out his contract.
"The treadmill worked pretty near
all day and the doctor grew richer and
fatter while his patients grew leaner.

felt better all the time. But after
awhile one of the newspapers dis

a steam pump. After that he had to
have his work done by an engineer and

nervous patients had relapses and re-
turned to their homes. Those who

majority of plants thrive best if thev
are watered daily. Aquatic plants like
Gala lily and others during the period
of blooming should be kept very moist
with water in the saucer under them.
Dry plants like sedums do not require
watering oftener than once a week.
Plants of average habits like gerani-

if watered daily, though the soil should
not become damp enough to become

A tcaspoonful of guano dissolved in

should never be allowed to touch the

Bad luck is the only kind that comes
to people that trust in luck.
Most people are willing to do away
with vices-of other people.
The man who thinks the world owes
him living is always in hurry to
levy on the debt.
A load of sorrow doesn't wear one
so much as swarm of annoyances.
1t has been said that fool may ask
question that a wise man cannot an-
swer; yet both may be better for the
question.
An action may be so clothed as to
change its proper effect on people;
with most of us sugar-coated vice
seems preferable to a pepper-coated
virtue.
Few persons understand the cause of
their own failures. Judging other af.
fairs as they do their own, they couldn't
tell why barrel is empty when it has
