Office. "Let's quarrel tomorrow"
THE WEAK PLACE.

Old Fluffy, the white hen, had nine
chicks, so Bennie had 10 pets that he
was very fund of.
Madam Fluffy. and her family lived
in a henhouse in the small yard, and
Ben fed them every day. One day
when he went out he saw weak
place in the henhouse, where board
was loose. He ought to have made it
tight at once, but instead, he said, 81
will fix that sometime" and went OH
and forgot it.
Now there was fierce cat in the
neighborhood that prowled around at
night. He had been known to kill
little chicks more than once. That
very night this cat came creeping
around Ben's home, and went straight
10 Madam Fluffy's house. He soon
found out the weak place and squeezed
in.
The next morning three downy
chicks were missing; their soft little
feathers were found scattered outside.
o, how sorry Bennie felt when he
went out to feed his pets. But being
sorry did not undo the mischief. A
very little time and trouble the day
before would have saved them; ; but
now nothing could bring them back.
They were gone, and all because of
that weak place in the coop.
Weak places are very dangerous;
they are especially dangerous to boys
hearts for enemies push in and do
great harm. Sometimes a boy wants
his own way, and that makes weak
place, and some day disobedience
crowds in. A quick temper makes a
weak place, and anger pushes his way
in. Idleness makes another weak
place, and mischief is almost sure to
creep in. Only Jesus can make these
weak places strong and keep the ene-
mics out.

How He LOST HIS SITUATION
The editor of the Waynesburg (Pa.)
Republican asked his nephew, Glow
came you, James, to lose your place ?"
"Well, III tell you," was the reply.
II had an easy berth; got my $75
month had an assistant; didn't have
to get down till in the morning left
at 5; had a chance to take life easy ;
but gradually began to take it too
easy-didn't get down until in the
morning instead Of s waited to smoke
two cigars instead of one; grew care
less of my money, used 81 where had
been using 50.
"First, I knew my salary was cut
down a little, and then little more
but 1 couldn't take the hint, but fret
ted about my poor situation, and one
morning I walked up after a nights
spree, and 10! 1 didn't have any stu
alton at all. But I'll tell you what I
did have, uncle, had my experience"
That youth is now working at $45
month now, instead of S75, but he
already has 5000 in the bank. Would

r@ According to the Atlanta Jour-
nal, Edward Atkinson, who is visiting
the exposition there, told the directors,
the other day, that the peanut, indigo
nous to the South, would some time in
the future become as great a staple as
cottonseed that the oil of the peanut
had been of great commercial value in
the Oriental nations, and would be in
the United States. He reviewed the
difficulties attending the introduction
of cottonseed oil as a staple of food,
and illustrated the strange prejudice
existing against it by the following:
when cottonseed oil was under the
bane of popular prejudice and the law
as well, Chicago lardmaker shipped
some lard 'adulterated' with cottonseed
oil to Europe. 1t was pronounced ex-
cellent lard. 1t was liked so well that
he received a great order for 10000
tierces. But at this juncture he could
get no oil, and was forced to ship the
pure lard. The consignee pronounced
it off sample wouldn't have it, and
the unfortunate Chicago man lost a
large sum of money"

LET US QUARREL TOMORROW.

My wife is one of the sweetest little
women in the whole world, and I am
not considered peculiarly cranky, but
sometimes differences would arise, be-
ginning with the most trivial things
which, however, being duly nursed, be-
come of momental proportions and of.
ten threatened the peace Of the family
OF course, was commonly the one to
blame; in fact, as l look back on it
now, am sure l was always to blame,
for l should have had the wisdom to
give way on the nonessentials, and by
ii little restraint and gentle talk win
my little wife over to my way of think
ing. But instead of that l feared |
should sacrifice my dignity, O as head
of the family by yielding. So some
times 1 went to my business without
my goodbye kiss and two people were
miserable all day.
But my little wife had an inspiration
(most women have when things come
to the breaking point, and the next
time our argument was drifting near
the danger line, she turned aside the
collision by this womanly suggestion,
"Howard, dear, let's quarrel tomor-
row! !" This was a proposal for an
armistice. What husband could re-
fuse? Gall right" I said, "we will
put it off for tomorrow" and we
laughed and talked of other things.
But tomorrow did not come. Indeed,
tomorrow never comes it's always
ahead and if we only keep our quar-
rels till then, there will be no more

THEY ARE CHILDREN.-Don't e.

THEY ARE CHILDREN.-Don't ex-
pect too much of them it has taken
you 40 years, it may be, to make you
what you are, with all your lessons of
experience, and I will dare say you are
a faulty being at best. Above al, don't
expect judgment in child or patience
under trial. Sympathize in their mis-
takes and troubles don't ridicule them.
Remember not to measure child's
trial by your standard. GAS one
whom his mother comforteth," says the
inspired writer, and beautifully does
he convey to us the deep, faithful love
that ought to be found in every wo-
mans heart, the unfailing sympathy
with all her children's griefs. Let the
memories of their childhood be as
bright as you can make them. Grant
them every innocent pleasure in your
power. We have often felt our temper
rise to see how carelessly their little
plans were thwarted by older persons,
when a little trouble on their part
would have given the child pleasure,
the memory of which would last a life
time. Lastly, don't think child hope
less because it betrays some very bad
habits. We have known children that
seemed to have been born thieves and
liars, so early did they display these
undesirable traits, yet we have lived to
see those same children become noble
men and women and ornaments to So
ciety. We must confess they had wise,
affectionate parents. And whatever
else you may be compelled to deny
your child by your circumstances in
life, give it what it most values, plenty
of love.

Admiral Meade Prefers Charues.

WASHINGTON, May 13. - Seneca Hasel-
ton, United States minister to Venezuela,
who Is in Washington ostensibly for leave
of absence from his post, will not return
to Venezuela. While Admiral Meade
was at La Guayra with his squadron this
spring he had occasion to communicate
with the United States legation at Caracas.
What he saw there he made the subject of
a special report to the secretary of the
navy, and the latter, in his turn, is said
to have regarded the matter contained
therein as of sufficient Importance to re-
quire its immediate transmission to the
state department. Thence it found its
way to the president. The latter is said to
have acted Immediately, and this accounts
for the minister's sudden departure from
Venezuela for Washington.
