AN UNWELCONE GUEST.
This HOteI-CIerk Cannot BE
Blamed for Ejecting So
Troublesome a Visitor.

After the battle of Waterloo, when the
allied forces lay in and around Brussels, every
conceivable sort of coin was in circulation
One day an Irish soldier walked into hotel
with British shilling and asked the clerk
if it would go. Good for anything 1 have, "
was the reply. The Irishman took him at
his word and ordered dinner. When he had
gotten outside of an astonishing amount of
wine and victuals he rendered the shilling in
payment. Explanations followed, and the
clerk, taking in the situation, said,
Here, my good man, misery loves COM
pany. Keep the shilling my friend, and
play the same game on our neighbor, down
the street." AS the shilling was pocketed
the owner coolly replied Cant, my friend,
l worked it on him yesterday, and he sent
me to you to-day" Now this anecdote has
nothing earthly to do with Mr.. G.. Carl
Smith, clerk at the Williamson House.
Lebanon, n. II. We merely introduce him
in this manner so that the readers of this
paper, who have regular visits from relatives
of the guest in question, will know how to
dispose of the intruder. Read what Mr.
Smith says: 81 was troubled for a year OF
more with weakness in the small of my

Of them in a few days, and after I had

The SLANGY GIRL.

The pretty girl who uses slang
To conversation gives a tang
To strong for me.
How could ever take to wife
A girl who says: you bet your life -
For guarantee?
The maiden who remarks: "Well, say"
Is quite devoid OF fascina-
ton in my eyes.
And when you hear one say: "That'i
right"
I,take my hat and say good night,
With shocked surprise.
However charming she might be.
No slangy girl could be for me
proper wife.
Do you suppose that would wed
A girl who'd say: "0h. go fall dead I"
Not on your life

Ifyou've got a thought that's happy,

Down the page your pen has sprinted.
If you want your effort printed,
Boil it down.
Take out every surplus letter
Boil it down;
Fewer syllables the better
Boil it down.
Make your meaning plain-express it
so we'll know, not merely guess it;
Then, my friend, ere you address it,
Boil it down;
Boil out all the extra trimmings
Boil it down.
Skim it well, then skim the trimmings,
Boil it down.

Cut another sentence into,
Send it on, and we'll begin to

The figures in a picture gain largely
by the kind of background they have.
National great-men gain by similar
condition, and for them the back
ground is "the people," Without
people to lead and people to voice,
where would our great men be? The
people are those ordinary, hard
working ones, who continue their du-
ties steadily under this administra-
ton or under that; always 6ndable
at the post OF honest labor. But
these people differ largely from the
people of almost any other nation,
since our political institutions are
based upon their wils-or whims.
The necessity of their having right
ideas is Therefore paramount. The
necessity of showing them national
dangers is also extreme, since by
their voices and their votes, they are
the arbiters of our national fate.
Are we agree so far?

Always ask your question first, and
then name the pupil you wish to an.
swer the question. In this way you
keep the attention of the whole class,
and make the whole class prepare the
answer. Too many teachers call on
the pupil before asking the question,
thus giving an opportunity to all the
pupils, save the one reciting, to pay
attention or not as it pleases them.

To VOTERS, III have no doubt
that in a general way you agree with
the statement that 1.-The people" eau
be trusted; perhaps because the
phrase sounds familiar, as nearly
every one asserts it. But like our
assent to great many scraps of
proverbial wisdom, we too often
agree to statements without think
ing of all that they imply. Please
look with me a little deeper; not that
/ would shake your faith in the
people, but rather that you may
have your faith in them increased.

The sacred guard of hallow'd bones
Was once but rough uneven stones.
Quarried by common hands for gain?
Yet rude and worthless though each be,
With them is raised this temple fair,
A fault, weakness anywhere
May mar the perfect symmetry.
o, can it be, this mighty force,
That nations makes or rends apart,
Is nothing but the peoples heart
Made up of units fine or coarse?
Yet lowly as may be their state,
This lesson doeth the building teach
That nothing but true life from each
Can make a nation wholly great.
