How to Hold tho Guitpr.

To hold the guitar correctly the play
er should be seated upon an ordinary
chair, with the left foot resting on a
hassock or small footstool, the right leg
being extended outward in an easy, nat
ural position. Let the guitar rest in the
lap, with the right forearm resting upon
the edge of the instrument, gently press
ing it against the. body to support it.
The guitar should be held at All angle,
SO that the left hand will be nearly on
a level with the shoulder when grasp
ing the neck. This position is preferable
to all others, as it firmly supports and
balances the instrument SO that both
hands are free to press and pick the
strings. The whole position should be
natural and permit of easy execution.

WALKING IN THE RAIN.

"What am going to do?" repeated

one of the best preventives against TAX

no matter how wet it may be. It's the

so dangerous, and SO you must just walk

SOME PEOPLES RELIGION.
Marion Crawford Writes q Pointed Littl
Lecture on Intolerance.

marion Crawford Writes q Pointed Little
Lecture on Intolerance.
There are very good and devout men
and women who take the world-pres-
emit and to come-quite literally, as a
mere fulfillment of their own imita
tions; who look upon what they know
as being all that need be known, and
upon what they believe of God and heav-
en- as the mechanical consequence of
what they know, rather than as the
cause and goal, respectively, of exist
tence and action; to whom the letter of
the law is the arbitrary expression of a
despotic power, which somehow must
be looked upon as merciful who answer
all questions concerning Gods logic
with the tremendous assertion of God s
will; whose God is magnified man,
and whose devil is malignant animal,
second only to God in understanding,
while extreme from God in disposition.
There are good men and women who
Ito use a natural but not f1ippant
simile-take it for granted that the soul
is cast into the troubled waters of life
without the power to swim or even the
possibility of learning to float, depend
ent upon the bare chance that some one
may throw it the life buoy of ritual re-
igion as it's only conceivable means Of
salvation. And the opponents of each
particular form of faith invariably take
just such good men and women, with
all their limitations, as the only true
opponents of that especial creed, which
they then proceed to tear in pieces with
all the ease such an undue advantage
of false premise gives them. None Of
them has thought of intellectual mer-
cy as being perhaps an integral part Of
Christian charity. Faith they have in
abundance, and hope also not little;
but charity, though it be for mems
earthly ills, and theoretically, if not al
ways practically, for mems spiritual
shortcomings, is rigidly forbidden for
the errors of mems minds. Why? No
thinking man can help asking the little
question which grows great in the un-
answering silence that follows it. Mar
ion Crawford in Century.
