Some one has we'll said that there
are no small things. Perfection is
| reached by small, trfling things and
perfection is no small thing. The
seemingly small act Of kindness is
what honors the doer and enriches So
cIety. "Civillty is great capital"
"D:ny myself" said he who wished
the greatest good to humanity and did
the greatest good to the world. Don't
speak of little things. The cup of
cold water is small thing, but it car
rles with it the most valuable lesson
known to men. We do big thing to
have 1t mentioned and that spoils the
whole business. 1.-The little things
are the mightiest." Let the little
deeds of kindness done by you be so
insignificant in your own estimation
that the left hand shall not deem it
worthy of telling to the right hand.
Oh, the mighty influence, the wide
contagion Of these mighty little deeds
OF kindness and acts of love.

A Shining Example.

"Have your shoes shined?" sang out
a small boy near the Union station,
among the throng of rural passengers
just from the train. A young man who
heard the cry stayed his steps, for he
had not much money in his pocket
than he had backing on his shoes. But
to hesitate was to fall into the shoe
blacks hands and the brushes we're
soon wrestling with splashes of rural
clay.
When the shine was complete the
young man handed the boy dime,
and felt that he had marked his way
into the great city with an act of Char
lty-for at heart he did not care how
his boots looked. But as he was pull
ing himself together for new start he
saw the boy who had cleaded his shoes
approach the blind beggar who sits be-
hind the railroad fence, and drop a
dime into his cup.

Find Your Places.

Every human being, however small
and insignificant, has place to fill and
a great work to do that no one else
can do for him.
There is always some aching brow
that we can sOOthe; some rugged path
way to be made more easy to travel !;
some heavy burden that we can assist
our fellow traveller in Crrrying up the
hill OF life, and some dark life, that is
bowed down in grief and despair, that
we can brighten.
Every one has his place and voca-
ton and 1t rests with himself to find
them.
BE new, in every sense of the word
find your places and go to work, for
life at best Is short and what we do
must be done now, for to morrow may
be too late. Honest, true men, are
what the world wants today and "prc-
tension is always despicable," it mat
tiers not from whom it comes. -Er-

The question of modesty In female

OF entertainment attracts attention,

modesty, and then the limits Of pro-

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.

From the Portland Oregonian.
II Speaker Reed could. rise to the level
OF this occasion. II would make him the
most conspicuous Republican candidate
before the country, He might not be the
nominee at st. Louis, bnt he would be
the hero OF the campaign, aud.he would
come out of defeat, II he we're defeated,
larger aud stronger than before Time
will come when the men who hesitated
and equlvecated In the presence Of q
great economic law will be remem bersd
with the plying wonder we spend on the
deiiders Of Calico. Kepler and Newton.
Then the men who spoke out, as Carlisle
has spoken, as Reed might speak. will
loom large in history. Such a declaration
would not be without immediate effect
II would eleotrifg the country and give
pause to state conventions and delega
tions II might even interrupt tina
heRdlong rush to Mckinley. at least, 1t
would force Mckinley upon q gold e.
