BETSY AND JOE.

John Kendrich Bangs, in Hmper's Bdzdr.
I'm sort of upset in my mind, sir I'm kind of
wrought up in my soul.
I'm filled up with trouble, am sir; my heart is

I've got a weak boy for a son, sir. He's weak

Butthen I've daughter who's stronger, think,

Aud that is the thing that upsets me--it fills
me with the direst of woe;
Nv Joe he had oughter been Betsy, and Betsy
she'd oughter been Joe.
Why, Joe, he amt good for his salt, sir. He
alters gives up to his dreams.
He thinks he's born Mr.. Shakespeare, and
spois good white paper by reams.
But Betsys as sane as the keeper who looks
arter folks what is mad.
She's got solid sense, has my Betsy, the solid

But Joe he had oughter been Betsy, AMI Betsy

That .al she will 60 to the me der, an toss
up the hay Ike maj,
sir, as ever she can;
But Joe he'll 90 ont there and dawdle. At
dawLl,n' he's really A one.
But that amt the thing for daughter, nor
that amt the thing for son.
An that's why set here a-sighin', and that's
why my eyes overflow:

KIND WORDS.

Kind thoughts will lead to kind
words, An ounce of praise is worth
pound of blame any day. Yet in many
families we here much more of the
latter than We do C the former. 1
have seen children that could truly say
as one SAID to me once, whenI asked
him how he was brought up, 81 W s
not brought up he aaid, 81 was :
kicked up Not only are parents sin
ful in this regard but older brothers
and sisters are cul lpable as well.
Many young heart has bled because
OF the lack of some word of kindly
encouragement. There are some of.
the teachers who can easily remember
the longing which they had as little
children, for that praise which would
have cost very little, bnt would hav
gone great way in helping them to
bear the burdens of childhood. Kind
words are like oil, but harsh words are
like sand. The one oils the machinery
of life, and makes it run smoothly;
while the other causes friction, and
may even bring the whole machine to
a standstill. Besides this, kind words
are cheap; they cost absolutely moth
ing. Yet | have seen persons who SO
seldom use them that their lips moved
as reluctantly for kindly word as q
door that has not been opened for years
! swing On it hinges. ''Say So is agood
text from which to preach to such
people. If you feel kindly toward
any one, say SO. You say if they are
worthy of any blame, do you not?
Well, then, why not do as we'll by them
when they have deserved an encomium?
There IS a great difference between
flatter and praise. The one is harmful
and disgusting; the other is very help
full. Many son has said kind things
about his mother after she was dead,
which, if he said before sbedied, would
have prolonged her lite. for years.
Kind words are tonics better than any
doctor can administer. Out with them
then, and as you 60, try in this way to
bear the burdens of others.

driven ever round; if they have nothing
else to grind, they must themselves bt
ground.
The circumstances of the world are
so invariable that an irrevocable pur
pose or opinion is almost synonymous
with foolish one.
No school is mo1e necessary to child
rem than patience, because either the
will must be broken in childhood or
the heart in old age.
People are always talking of perse-
verance and courage and fortitude, but
patienceis the finest and worthiest part
of fortitude. Pa'ience lies at the root
fall pleasures as we'll as of all powers.
Hope herself ceases to be happiness
when lmpatience companions her.

NEVER Talk
4 BOUT A ANYBODY.

a gentleman, being complimented
on his wife's beauty, added, as his quota
of admiration;
eyes, she is beautiful but, better
thln that, she never talks about any
body. She listens to all gossip that
flies about, but have never known
her yet to speak harshly of a single
person."
AS We heard this sincere tribute, we
thought how many men could say the
same t1lng Of their wives?
We women, perhaps, do not mean to
do any harm, but We manage to achieve
considerable in that line just because
we let our tongues get the best of us.
1t is so easy when are two or three sit
ting over cup of tea or on hotel
plaza to criticise and discuss our neigh
bors, each one adding word here or
a they do say" there until before you
know it are sitting in hasty judgment
on something or somebody that you
positively have no authenic kno wledge
Of.
Be wise, listen to all you hear, but
don't do any little retailing. on your
own account unless it is of the most
innocent character The other two in
the trio of gossippers will have no
scruples in talking about you directly
you leave them in many instances
your own words are used against you.
We are not talking at random, for we
know whereof we, speak, and it is
fact that there would be much less
troubled IN the world, fewer scandals,
rot halfso many heartaches, and estran-
gments, if we could but listen and
keep our opinions to ourselves.
One cannot be hung for his thought
but In the expression of them lies a
doubtful hazard. Perhaps there may
be some among those who read these
lines who say; "We would be forever
dumb if We were to follow out such
advice Indeed, such ones are mis-
taken. There are topics rife with in
terest that elevate the mind, fire The
Imagination and delight the soul that
may be discussed at length, but the
criticism of our neighbors' act, and the
rolling up of the SNOWFALL of scandal
from trihles light lis air do not come
in that category.

A LYRIC.

When wind blow high and frost is white,
And roads are steel, and trees Or ice,
And window panes wear tracing light,
And all the world bears colds device;
Night falls and careful mothers pray
In sweet coutent, though storm win
whirs,
Beneath one roof till break of day
Sleep safe the careless boys and grls.'
All safe and under one roof tree,
All safe beca1se the mother heat
Is near them; soft and tenderly
1t broods until the clouds depart;
The time will come when birds must 90
From out the parent nest away,
When lonely, though no wild winds blow,
The mother heart will sadly stay.
All, mother heart, ah, mother-heart,
How lonely are the hours that pass,
When sleet and hail from heaven dart,
Or when there's sunshine on the grass;
How oft IN you wish back the night
When storms fury seemed to fail;
How often strive to stay Times flight,
And that dear winter backward call.
What matt ers storm? Ah welcome rain
And the weird shrieking of the wind
Rather than sunshine and .he pain
Of loss that saddens heart and mind;
The dumb cry for the wandering.
Come war without, if peace within;
If love beneath the roof tree sing
What evil thing can enter in?

Beauty in the heart will find its way

Work for God must be done in god

Give greed the rein and it will run

No one can look at the stars without

Every land that flows with milk and

There can be no such thing as the
right use of a wrong thing.
No man ever backslides while he is
praising God as he ought.
Only those who have love for souls
know how to win them.
Every one of the devils arrows is
dipped into the poison of doubt.
When truth goes to battle it always
fights in the front rank.
Our mistakes sometimes attract more
attention than our virtues.
The most eloquent thing on earth is
a spotless Christian character.
TO oppose Gods work in our own
heart is to oppose it everywhere.
No man has great faith who does not
know that he has great God.
All truth is nonsense to the man
who has taken lie into his heart.
1t is easier not to speak at all than it

The devil can always find time to

And then remember, my son, you
have to work. Whether you handle
pick or pen, a wheelbarrow or a set
of books, digging bitches Or editing
paper, ringing an auction bell or writ
ing funny things, you must work. If
you look around, son, you will see the
men who are most able to live the rest
Of their days without work are the men
who work the hardest. Don't he afraid
of killing yourself with overwork, SON
1t is beyond your power to do that, on
the sunny sid of thirty. They die
sometimes, but it's because they quit
work at 6 p. m. and don't get home
until Il. m. It's the intervals that
kills, my son. The work gives You an
appetite for your meals, it lends soidity
to your slumbers; it gives you perfect
and grateful appreciation Of holiday.
There are young men who do not work
my son; but the world is not proud OF
them. 1t does not know their names,
even it simply speaks Of them as old
so-andso's boys. Nobody likes them;
the great busy world doesn't know
they are there. So find out what you
want to be and do, my son, and .
off your coat and make duS

TO HOLD CIR AN

Holding grain for rise usually
means IA loss Of Il greateror less amount
in case rise does not come, says Farm
Field and F'lreside. 1t has been shown
by accurate experiment than one
thousand bushels of medium maturing
corn would lose upon becoming
thoroughly air-dried weight Of water
equivalent to one hundred and fifteen
bushels of sh-lled corn. So. if these
one thousand bushels could be sold
when gatheled for fifty cents, it would
be necessary to get titry-seven cents Il
bushel when thoroughly air-dried in
order to get the same amount. Add
10 this the cost of interest and insurance
and YOU will see that the rise must be
considerable in order to pay for hold
