SIS God Eege?"

A young man had been extremely
profane, and thought little of the
matter. After his marriage to a high
minded, lovely wife, the habit ap-
peared to him in a different light,
and he made spasmodic efforts to
conquer it. But not until a few
months ago did he become victor
when the glowing evil was set be-
fore him, by a little incident, in its
real and shocking sinfulness.
One Sunday morning standing be.
fore the mirror shaving, the razor
slipped, inficting slight wound.
True to his fixed habit he calculated
the single word God! and was not
a little amazed and chagrined to see
reflected in the mirror the pretty pic
tureof islitt!e three-year-old daugh-
ter, as laying her dolly down she
sprang from her seat on the floor; ex-
claimed, as she looked eagerly and
expectantly about the room, us Dod
here?"
Pale and ashamed, and at a loss for
a better answer, he simply said
"Why?"
"'Cause I thought he was when I
heard you speak to him."
Then noticing the sober look on
his face and the tears of shame in
his eyes as he gazed down into the
innocent, radiant face, she patted him
lovingly on the hand, exclaiming as
suringly, ''Call him again, papa, I
dess he surely come"
Oh. how every syallable of the
cbild's trusting words cut to the
heart! The still, was heard at last.
catching the wondering child up in
his arms he knelt down, and for the
first time in his life implored of God
forgiveness for past ofenses and
guidance for all his future life, thank
ing him in fervent spirit that he
had not "surely come" before, in an
swer to some of his awful blasphe-
mics. Surely, "a little child shall
lead them"

a Way to Grow Wise.

Most boys and girls are fond of
good books; but many of them, when
they have read volume through,
toss it quickly aside, and without
giving second thought to tie con-
tents of it's pages, hasten away in
search of some new entertainments.
want to give bit of advice on
this subject of reading, which I hope
some of my readers will follow.
You all wish to become intelligent
and we'll informed men and women;
it is for this end that We all learn to
read. But to succeed in our ambi-
ton we must not only know how to
read, but how to make use of what
we read.
The writings Of all the learned
men in the world could not make US
wise if our minds were not trained
to think, reason and remember.
So here is my advice. After read
ing book or article, give two or
three minutes quiet thought on the
subject; see how much Of it you can
remember, and if there were any new
ideas, instructive facts or interesting
points that attracted your attention,
force yourself to recall them. It may
be little troublesome at first, but
the very effort 10 think it all q out will
engra7e engra1i5ttds the facts deeply II tEs mem
ory; so deeply that they will not be
efaced by the rushing in Of q new
and different set of ideas.
Form the good habit of reviewing
what has just been read. It exer-
cises and disciplines the mental fac
ulties, strengthens the memory and
teaches concentration of thought.
You will soon learn in this way to
think and reason intelligently, and
to separate and classify different
kinds Of Information.
Now, shut your eyes and see if you
can remember my advice.

Breaking it Gently.

He was digging rock in a phos-

perintendent of the place. One day
after the hands had knocked off,
he said to me:
"Boss, is you know how fur RE

had extended that far and asked to
whom he wished to write.
"To my bredder," said he.

I wrote to the superintendent of
the penitentiary ip Columbia and
was informed that Pritchard had
been dead for several months. I did
not like to tell the news in person to
Robinson, so asked George Wash

impress upon George Washington to
do so, and I endeavored to impress
upon George the necessity Of break
ing the news gently.
"Oh, l know wha' you mean" )"
said George, 81 know. All right,

On the following day I asked
George whether he had broken the
news to Robinson, and he replied:

Andy Lucas to the Rescue.

It was somewheres along about this
time of year, and not so very many
years ago. A stranger come through
the settlement peddlin on new-fash-
ion churn. He wore good clothes, you
understand, and talked whole tre-
mendius big sight with his mouth.

day evenin the general crowd got to

fish and fishin.

One moruin the hands went down into
the swamp lands and found the corn
and cotton all under water. The sky
above was clear as d bell, and the earth
for forty miles around was dry as a
powder keg. We didn't know what in
creation was the matter till we found
most hellatious big fish, which had
swum up the creek durin the night till
he got wedged in between the banks.
Naturally of course the creek was
damned up and the swamp lands over
flowed We then put the hands to
work with three or four six-mule teams
and pulled the fish out. When we cut
him open, stranger, what do you reck-

Quite Possible.

A physician had, as presiding ge-
MUS in his culinary del artment, a
Negro woman of social disposition,
but of a somewhat irascible temper.
One night youthful admirer, who
was accustomed to make frequent
evening calls upon the ebony Maria
in her kitchen, prolonged his visit to
a tiresome length. After Maria had
worn out every topic of conversation
of which she was mistress, she es-
saycd to her mental and physical
weairiness by prodigious yawn.
Through some miscalculation as to
the stretching capacity of her mouth,
however, she dislocated her jaw in
the process.
The doctor was hastily summoned
from above stairs by the distracted
youth, who stood difidently in the
background while Maria's jaw was
put into working order again.
The first use she made of her re-
covered power Of speech was to turn
wrathfully upon the trembling visitor
and say, in tone of whitening
scorn:
'.P'raps de mex; time yo' goes a
calm. and stays and stays till de
lady gapes and suffiocates her jaws,
yell take it fer hint dat it's bout
time to be a gwine home.

Neither .prownded, Nor "Losted.u

Neither "Drownded" Nor "Losted."
OF all the wonders that I ever yet
have saw, the most strangest thing to
me is to see a yearlin boy pack up few
duds and run away from home.
One day last week little Jimmy Pick
ems got huffed up about somethin or
other and run away from home. His
home iolks didn't know which way he
had went nor where he was headed for,
and naturally of course it brought on
terrible high wave Of confusionment in
the settlement. Some of the women
folks lowed he mought be drownded in
the creek or losted in the woods, but
that didn't sound much like boy to
me.
In the main time took particlar no.
tice that they didn't miss a meal of
victuals nor lose a lick of sleep over at
the Pickens place, and his mother low
ed she reckoned when Jimmy got good
hongry he would come up. She didn't
give herself no big worriment in the
case, only when she went to bed at
night she would leave the back door
open and plenty of cold grub on the
bottom shelf in the pantry.
So it turned out by-and-bv that Misses
Pickens, mother like, was plum right
about it. Late Saturday evenin Jimmy
come up. He had swung around
through the woods paster, where he
found little niger loollin for the
calves, which he sent him to the house
with the followin note to his mother:
Deere NAV. Pleeze send me peace
of soape and some old clothes Also

socks. have got a hat"
