Forming Characters.

No human being can come into this
world without increasing or diminish
ing the sum total of human happiness
not only of the present but every subse-
quent age of humanity. No one can de.
taoh himself from this connection.
There is no sequestered spot in the uni.
verse, no dark niche along the disk Of
nonexistenoe, to which he can retreat
from his reiationo to others, where he
can withdraw the influence of his exist
enoe upon the moral destiny Of tho
world. Everywhere his presence or ab
sence will be felt. Everywhere he will
have companions who will be better or
worse for his influence. 1t is an old say
ing, and one of fearful and fathomless
import, that we are forming characters
Tor eternity. Forming oharactersl
Whose? Our own or others? Both, and in
that momentous fact lie the peril and
responsibility of our existence. Who is
sufficient for the thought? Thousands of
my fellow beings will yearly enter eter.
nifty with characters differing from those
they would have carried thither had J
never lived. The sunlight of that world
will reveal my finger marks in their
primaoy formations and in their success.

jumping mouse is the most active and
powerful of all vertebrate animals Thia

larger than house mouse, but it has
light fore quarters, strong hind quarters,
very long hind legs-and it can jump

Mountain passenger train this
morning. They had three dollars
worth of fishing poles under their
arms and about IS cents worth of

that the fish did not take to their

burglars, a man and a woman, who
broke in Schoen & Son S store at POca-

here Tuesday evening. They gave
their names as Robert Simpson and
wife of Birmingham, Ala. The cap
ture was effected fourteen miles north
of Grand Tower, on the Illinois side.
In their company were two men, but
they were not arrested, as nothing
was found on them. The parties jailed
here Wore some of the stolen clothing.
During the chase 800 in goods were
dropped by the fugitives, but other
goods We're not recovered. 1t is be-
lieved that the capture is important,
as it may show an organized band of
thieves coming over from IlliOis. The
man and woman are supposed to be
the same seen around New Wells last
winter, when the store of August Ude
was robbed of 800 worth of mer-
chandise.

Old World Christmas Proverbs.

Every one in America knows the old
world proverb. "A green Christ
mas makes fat graveyard, =
but few others of the old world Christ
mas saws are current here. Some of
these saws are exceedingly interesting
and not less instructive as showing
the changes that time and location
have made in the proverbs of the
country people. Here are few:
"A warm Christmas. a cold Easter. "
"A light Christmas, heavy sheaf =
"A green Christmas. a white East
err"
IF there is "a wind on Christmas
day trees will bear much fruit.
IF ice will bear man before
Christmas, it will not afterward.
The shepherd would rather see his
wife enter the stable on Christmas day
than to see the sun shine in at the
stable door. -
IF the sun shines through the apple
tree on Christmas day, there will be
an abundant crop the following year. "
The meaning of all these is clear
enough. but there is one that is not so
clear:
IF Christmas finds bridge. he'll
break it: if he finds none. he'll make
one.
