Taking Pains.

A valuable lesson, learned when |
was quite young, has frequently been
recalled by successive events in my
life in a way to bring me fresh inspir-
alton and strength.
The honored preceptor of the acad-
envy in my native town, under whose
tuition had passed several years OF
my early school life, called one day
at my home. This was no strange
thing, for he was a frequent visitor
there, but at this particular time the
call was not for my father or mother
or the older members of the family,
but for me. What was my astonish.

preceptor smiled, in spite Of his effort
to be serious, and quietly remarked
"You will never know what you

ODE TO A PENCIL.

George s. Fisk.

Lines Found Among the Papers Of the Late
George s. Fisk.
The wide circle of friends who knew
the late George S. Fisk in his journalistic
capacity while in this town will easily
recognize the sentiment expressed in the
following verses from which, in the
opinion of one who knew him, he never
swerved. The lines were found recently
by his sister among his old papers.
TO MY PENCIL.
My pencil, my daily companion thou art,
Like sword in its sheath, resting near to
my heart.
Or, drawn from the scabbard doth merriiy
glide
Der the white-paged book with skilled
fingers to guide.
My pencil, the dearest desire of my heart
Is that ne'er shalt thou play any infamous
part.
And that every swift stroke shall be made
with the might
OF a will that is e'er on the side of the right
My pencil, may every black mark be so keen
And so firm and so true that twill plainly be
seen
AS thy oft-sharpened point towards the
rubber-end grows
That thy life has been worthy and honored
its close.

the principle he laid down gave a
coloring, in some sense, to my whole
after-life. for many time, when fac

untried and difficult duty, have those
words echoed, He took pains" 1t
is principle that is applicable to
every department of human effort,
but has a special significance when
applied to Christian work. Here
every true success depends not upon
ones age or experience so much as
upon painstaking preparation and
the faithful use of the necessary
means; to these God is pledged to
add his blessing.
Sturgeon preached his first sermon
when he was only sixteen years OF
age. OF the service, for which he
confessed that he telt unequal, he

cannot wonder at the success of his
effort. He had scarcely finished,
which he says he did without
"breaking down. or stopping short
in the middle or being left destitute
of ideas, as he feared, when an aged
voice cried out, "Bless your dear
heart! How old are you?"

success as a Christian worker to this

friends Of Mount Holyoke college as
a day for special gifts to that insti

We Foolish Printers.

The following incident illustrates the
extent to which the printing business is
demoraized by 'cut-rate" printers:
A solicitor for a firm of printers called
upon business man recently to ask for
share of his printing orders.
"Do you people pay rent for the PREM
ises you occupy" asked the business
man.
"Of course we do, replied the solicitor.
"Do you employ competent men to do
your work ?"
yes"
"Do you give them fair wages?"
yes"
"Do they get their wages every week "
"Of course they do"

materials ?"

"Then you can't afford to do my work.
The people who are doing it at present
must get their labor for nothing and
must steal the paper. Good morning! "

How They Voted.
MrKiulau
rnittee.

The weather in Canton was beautiful,
and very heavy vote was polled. 1t
was estimated at 10 o'clock that fully
one-halfo of the registered voters of the city
had cast their ballots.
Major Mckinley voted at 8 o'clock.
He was accompanied to the polling place
by his brother Abner. They walked from
the majors home to precinct B, in the
first ward, and the candidate registered
his vote as No. $50.
Quite number of voters were around
the polling place when Major Mckinley
entered the booth. There was no dem
onstration Of any character, and the can
dldate, after casting his vote, walked
Immediately to the home OF his mother.
The major and his brother then drove
to the candidates Market street resi-
dence, where the candidate spent the day
quietly receiving callers.
Mrs. Mckinley was very much i'm
proved today.
The voting place for precinct F of ward
8, in Lincoln, where Mr.. Bryan voted,
was in fire engine house on F street,
near 18th. Mr.. Bryan entered it through
the double line OF those who took part in
this parade.
He voted the straight democratic and
peoples independent ticket.
Just as he was depositing his ballots
one Of the republican challengers called
on the people present, about 90 in num-
Der, to uncover out OF respect to Mr..
Bryan.
Everybody barred his head, and when
word was passed to those outside that
this had been done, they, too, took off
their hats
Again, under escort of the band and
the clubs, Mr.. Bryan was taken to his
home on D street. The crowd cheered
as he assembled the steps OF the dwelling,
and turning to the gathering the can
didate made little speech of thanks,
saying in part: 81 have now done all
that | can to insure success in the
campaign, and for me there is nothing
left but to await the returns. want to
thank the good friends who have been SO
kind and courteous in my leaving and
my returning.
"All that we have asked in this cam.
paign is that each citizen might be al
lowed to vote as he pleases, and when
that is done we shall all abide the result,
whatever it may be-"
The organizations cheered with will
and disbanded as Mr. Bryan entered his
house.
