Loving.

We learn to love by loving. It grows by practice. Like everything else, it gathers strength through exercise. The more we keep at it the easier and more natural it becomes. We can form the habit of looking at people with love, thinking about them with love, speak ing of them in love and acting toward them lovingly. Our deeds will react upon our thoughts, and our thoughts and feelings will prompt to action. So we may become steeped ill love. It will radiate from us as the light from the lamps, We shall be charged with it as the battery is with electricity, and pow CT will go out from us. So instead of crying idly, "Oh, for more lovep' let us lay more stress upon the practice. If we continually use what we have, it will increase Now York Ledger.

Chicago Herald.) HAVING FUN WITH A STRANGER


 A few years ago an old gentleman, giv- ing the age of S2 years, typical repre- sentative of what is commonly called the 'hay seed," entered the mayors office and desired license for the sale of pa- tent medicine. He represented that he poor luck in selling his wares. He was informed that it would cost him $1 to se- cure the license, and he began at once to prey upon the charitable inclinations of the mayor to induce him to give the H. cense for nothing. In this he was suc- cessful, and after securing the coveted piece of paper, which permitted him to sell his medicines, he started to leave. He had ridden to the mayors office in the elevator, and as he started to go out, he thought he would ride down again.
 It so happened that at the time the ele- vator was at the top floor. How to call gentleman seemed unable to solve. In the midst of his perplexities an official of the city hall happened along, and the old farmer appealed to him how to bring "that air machine down."
 The official told him that the only way the machine could be brought down would be to drop nickel in the slot, at the same time pointing to keyhole in the door to the grating which surrounds the eleva- tor as the place where the nickel should be dropped. The old gentleman gazed in wonder at the door for minute and then remarked: "Well, to tell the truth, stranger, don't happen to have the nick el about my clothes about this time. Now, am purity old man, and can't walk down them stairs; would you mind putting the nickel in for me?"
 "Well," said the official, "I will try and help you out," and with that he hand ed the old man nickel to put in the slot. The stranger tried his best to force the nickel into the keyhole, but, being unsuc- cessful, the official kindly volunteered to do it for him, and with the pretense of putting nickel in the slot he slyly touch ed the call bell and in minute the eleva- tor came down. To the elevator boy the official remarked: "He's all right" and the elevator boy remarked, catching on to the joke: "I didn't see my nickel fall into the box, and don't know whether I can let this man ride down or not, but If you say he is all right will let him go down."
 With that the old gentleman stepped into the elevator and descended. AS he reached the ground floor the elevator boy remarked: "Now you are down, it will cost you just five cents to get out" This was the last straw which broke the old mans heart. Well, by gosh," said he, "I might better have walked. I am in a J worse fix than I was before. Say, young feller, haven't got nickel about me ]; now, won't you. kindly let me out and trust me for the sum?"
 | Seeing tears standing in the old mans eyes, he opened the door and allowed the old man to get out. As he left the eleva- tor he took occasion to say: "Young fellow, I'll pay you that nickel for letting me out of this scrape, but it has been g good lesson for me. Hereafter, when want to ride in these pesky machines, will either have the price or, by gosh, will walk"

Dr. J. A. Gilbert of the Yale physio- logical laboratory has just completed some interesting tests regarding the men, tai and physical improveme of the New Haven public schools. The tests were made on 1,200 boys and girls, varying from to IT years years of age. He has made series of charts which show that boys are more sensitive to weight dis crimination, that girls can tell the differ ence in color shades better than boys, and that boys think quicker than the other sex. Altogether, the charts show that boys are more susceptible to suggestions thangirls. Tho charts show also that both-boys and girls between the ages of 12 and IA years are not so bright, quick or strong in proportion, nor do they de- velop as fast, as they do before and after these years. The object of the tests is to enable teachers to better understand the mental requirements of the pupils.

THE president has withdrawn the name of Julius Pinney, who had been nominated to be postmaster at Willimantic, and has substituted that of Joel Webb This is the result of persistent effort on the part of MT. Webb's friends, and it is probable that a counter move will now be made against MT. Webb, as MT. Pinney has strong backing for the place, and much feeling is aroused over the treatment &C., corded him.

Chairman Hooper introduced them as
Equal Suffrage amid great applause.
A committee on credentials was ap-
pointed composed of one member from
each delegation, which retired, and the
convention went Into recess.
Tho convention assembled at 3
o'clock. After the reading Or the report
of the committee tile convention pro.
ceeded to the nomination Of congress-
man. A Hinsdale county delegate sug-
gested that US 1t was, a legal holiday
the nomination might not be legal,
but the idea was soon smothered. A
Custer county delegate placed ]. G.
Bell In nomination, and from the wild
demonstration made by the audience
1t was deemed 1t would be useless to
attempt to place another candidate In
nomination. 1t was moved that the
nomination be made by rising vote.
The motion was put and carried al
most unanimously.
Mr.. Bell was In the rear part Of the
hall, but was carried upon the shoul-
ders Of men to the stage. He thanked
the convention for the honor they had
conferred upon him. In referring to
his work In Congress, he said 1t had
been his purpose and desire to be as n
servant Of the people and that what
ever he lacked In ability. he tried to
make UP In effort. He said that all he
asked of the people was to make their
public servants come to the mark, and
when they did not they should drop
them. He said there was no scarcity
of material for office; that every Office
from President down could be filled
from Colorado from the Populist par
ty; that IL the people thought virtue
and intelligence should rule the cOun-
try instead OF the iron heel of monOpO-
ly, there IL room for the Populist party.
He said that progress was never made
by those who We're satisfied with their
position In life, but by those who were
not ,-that the people wanted,to think
and net. There Is no necessity, he
said, for the laborer to be disorderly;
that the laborcrs have the power and
Gun vote oppression out of existence.
At the close of his remarks three
cheers for Bell and three for Pence and
three for Waite were given.
A congressional central committee,
consisting of one from each county,
was then chosen, and the convention
adjourned. During the session the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted by the
convention:
"Resolvcd, That Myron w. Reed
stands MS one of the few men who has
dared to preach the real doctrine and
teachings of Jesus Christ, and that he
has, by. his splendid humanitarianisn
and sublime courage in daring to OPP
pose the plutocrats and money-bags
of his congregation, endeared himself
to the common people. in whose hearts
his name and fame will ever he treas.
ured.'
