WORDS OF WISDOM.

A temptation resisted is lion slain.
It is impossible to live any higher
than we look.
Overcoming a difficulty changes it
into blessing.
The right cross for us is the first
one we come to.
1t is hard to please people who never
know what they want.
Most troubles will run when we look
them squarely in the face.
1t is hard to find poorer man than
the rich man who never gives.
When sin runs to hide, it forgets
chat it cannot cover up its tracks.
No man can give his best service
where he has not first given his heart.
There is hypocrisy in praying for
what we are not willing to work for.
Using the rod will do no good, un'
less the hand that holds it is moved by
love.
The more an enemy hates us, the
hotter the fire kindness will kindle on
his head.
1t takes close acquaintance with
many other people to introduce us to
ourselves.
We are all the time making char
acter, whether we are doing anything
else or not.
The lessons we learn in the school
of experience cost the most, but they
are remembered the longest.
There is hope for the man who
doesn't have to fall down more than
once to learn how to stand up.
There is too much singing, "Take
my silver and my gold" and putting
nothing but copper and nickel IN the
basket. Rams Horn..,

A POPULAR Idol.

The greatest popular idol, in a po-
litical sense, the country has ever
known, was Henry Clay. Only one
other American statesman ever pos
sessed the quality called personal
magnetism to the same extent that he
did, and no other ever had q more en-
thusiastic personal following. He was
an aspirant for President from 1924
to 1S4S, but he never reached the
goal. He received thirty-seven Elec-
toral votes in 1924, forty-nine in 1882,
and los in 1874, but never enough to
elect him. Clay was elected Speaker
of the House of Representatives on
the first day OF his first term in that
body, and was five times reelected !;
he was twice elected United States
Senator, once unanimously by the
Kentucky Legislature, and held sew
eral other high offices. If there was
ever q popular idol IN the politics OF
this country, it was Henry Clay. But
he could not be elected Presidept.--

A Tramp's Ready Wit.

A tramp asking for food at the door
of certain good deacon residing near
one of the country thoroughfares,
was given loaf of bread by the mas
ter Of the house, with the rather in.
hospitable remark. that "the Bible
says il, any man will not work neither
should he eat" Looking down on the
gift with shade of disgust, the tramp
quickly responded:
Eyes; and does it not also say that
man cannot live by bread alone9"
1t is but truth to add that he re-
ceived generous slice of country
ham as reward for his quick witt0d.
