Don't,

Don't use an inch rule to measure your life,
The horizon, the peaks' the sky,

planned
To scale which such objects supply.
Don't wear yourself out In an ignoble strife /;
There are objects worth while to achieve,
And they lie within reach Of the humblest and

A gospel the world Will receive.
Don't gaze at copper with look SO intense
Its impress IS stamped on your mind;
'1wae miser was led by penny who said,
Look out for each cent that you find
Take care OF the dollars, you'll have enough
cents
To keep you from poverty's door;
Enjoy what you've got without casting your
lot
With spendthrift- and niggards galore.
Don't get In a Tut-talte a main-traveled road
Worn smooth by the many who pas-,

You carry or whittier 1t goes;

And you are ready for friends or for foes

Hairbreadth Escapes of Life and Limb
Are Nothing Compared to 1t.
We were discussing moments OF
supreme terror, says writer in
Truth, and each OF lib had given his
most thrilling experience, Wien his
heart had come the nearest to stand
ing still-getting off its beat. as it
were-and it had got to be Cooper's
turn. Almy had told OF the time he
fell over the precipice. and was only
saved from being dashed to pieces
by clutching dandelion which grew
on the brink, and Bowen had related
how he drank from bottle. the gift
of New Jersey friend, in the dark,
and for u moment thought that he
had taken nitric acid through mis-
take. Acer had given graphic de-
scription of the cold chills which had
run over him, and the sudden awful
faintness when hc went out to dinner
entered the dining-room that it was
only 5. SO; and l had lived over for
their benefit my experiences of jump
ing from a locomotive just as it
crashed into the side of swiftly
moving train.
Cooper had sat silently smoking
until the last, and after his turn had
come he remained for some time ap-
parently deep in thought. At length
he said: "Gentlemen, l have no
doubt that each OF you has given,
thoughtlessly. perhaps, what he con-
siders his supreme moment of terror;
but, knowing all of you as do. the
joys of your homo lives and the trials
of the head of II family, and you will
pardon me II l say that think that
you haye made q mistake Is it
possible that none OF you have ever
been aroused at 9 o'clock in the
morning by your wife's solemn state
ment that there were burglars in the
house. and that while you were
groping your way nervously across
the room through the horrible dark
ness to light the gas, you have none
of you ever set your bare foot
suddenly on the babv's little hollow
rubber doll, which whistled when
compressed"
For moment there was solemn
silence, and then we guilty wrctches,
bound together oy the common tie
of falsehood, arose, shook hands
alphabetically with each other,
and took Cooper out and bought him
something.

Another Frlendship Severed.

1t cannot be denied that he ls
rather an egotistical statesman. The
other day he approached a fellow

"Indeed'
"Yes. You were speaking OF me

Women Who Wear rrou,er,

In Canada perhaps 10000 women wear
trousers during the wintcr-of course with
the skirt. In this country the popularity of
the masculine garment is growing with re-
markable rapidity. The trousers are now and
have been for years In use for horseback rid
ing. The fencing costumes, also trousers,
are worn without the skirt. and in gymnas-
ums of the fashionable boarding schools for
young ladies trousers arc worn exclusively
and with excellent effect and comfort In
Europe for the last two years Turkish irons
ers are worn by fashionable women for climb

the Scotch Highlands by English women.

Great Cities,

The greatest cities Of ancient times
were Babylon and Rome. The former
is said to have had an area Of 100 to
200 square miles; its houses were
three or four stories high, but palaces
and gardens occupied much Of the
area so that the population was no.
what these figures would seem to
Indicate. In fact, it is said by one
historian that nine tenths of this
area was taken up by orchards and
gardens. The total population OF
the city under Nebuchadnezzar and
his son. Evil-Merodach, is estimated
at upward Of 1000, 900 Rome reached
its greatest size during the fourth
century of our era, and its population
was then about $500. 900.

in the brightly lighted room of the
Langham. And as Katie and / were
watching him"
"A lady came into the room" es-
claimed Katie, breathlessly.
"And," cried both together. she
kissed her!"
They stared, round-eyed, at their
victim.

"All" repeated the scandal-mon-
gers, family.
"Yes. Why shouldn't he kiss her?
He may be engaged to her, for all we
know to the contrary. 1t seems to me
you have been exciting yourselves
needlessly."
"We-we thought" stammered Ger
tie, that he was engaged to you"
"Mr. Wilmarth has never honored
me with proposal" May declared,
still in that level tone. And now, If
you girls have nothing more important
to say to me, shall be glad of an op-
portunity to finish this panel"
Feeling cheated and abashed, the
girls took themselves away. May rose,
and fastened the door behind them.
She returned - her seat, and stared at
the hollyhocks on the half-painted
panel. What ugly, sprawling things
they were! and only an hour ago she
had the bad taste to consider them beau
tiful. She did not again take up her
palette. She only sat there, conscious
in some stupid way Of being aghast at
her own emotion.
"Any admittance?" queried a laugh
ing voice.
The fur-covered shoulders, Partisan
hat, and sparkling eyes of Nancy
Luders confronted May when she
opened the door.
"You falsifer!'' cried the visitor,
gayly. as she embraced her friend.
"You refused to make one of my
theater party last evening because
you had given Mr.. Wilmarth permis-
sion to call. And, behold, Mr.. Will
,narth failed to materialize."
May felt surprised and indignant.
Was the whole town taking up the
question of her admirers broken ap-
pointrnent? Who, besides herself, was
concerned with the fact that he had
staid away?
"He sent me word that he was de-
tained," she said, sitting her annoy
ance.
Nancy smiled, knowingly.
"He was When we were taking the
suburban theater train at the North
western, he was seeing off lady who
was going on the st. Paul flyer. I
knew he could not have been out this
distance and reached there by that

to mention it-but you really should

Go on" said May, in an even voice.
