a show OF resistance. but almost before
he knew 1t he was sprawling upon the
floor. Roosevelt knocked him down three
times before he would acknowledge that
no had had enough, but at last he did sue
for peace. Then turning to the rest of the
crowd Roosevelt said: "Now. boys, step
up and all take drink with me-" The
whole transaction was so brief and so
calmly dispatched that those toughs
could hardly believe their eyes. The Incl

SAYINGS OF THE GREAT:
Beauty is a great thing; but beauty of
garment or house and furniture are tawdry
ornaments compared with domestic love.
All the elegance i'm the world will not
make a home; and / would give more for a
spoonful of real heart love than for whole
shiploads of furniture and all the gor-
geousness all the upholsterers in the world
can gather-Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Education, briefly, Is the leading of hu-
man souls to what Is best, and making
what is best out of them; and these two
objects are always attainable together,
and by the same means; the training
which makes men happiest in themselves
also makes them most serviceable to 9TH
ers.-Ruskin.
When you get into tight place and ev-
erything goes against you till 1t seems as
if you could not hold out a minute longer,
never give up then, for that's just the
place and time that the tidell turr.--Har-
riet Bee"htr Stowe.
A mans best help Is himself, his own
heart, his resolute purpose. His personal
work cannot be done by proxy. A mans
mind may be aroused by another, but he
must mold his own character.
The best part of the house and the best
part of everything in it must be for the
comfort and use and health of those who
make up the home.
From the right proportions OF labor and
rest, by the right use of food. drink sleep
and exercise the body is kept in good con-
dtion.
