Life's IFS.

If you play with fool at home he
will expect you to do so when abroad
If every man asked his purse what
he should buy (not his friend) he
would keep out of trouble.
If every man would mend his own
faults there would be millennium
If you send a wise message by a
fool, don't expect to know it when
you hear it again.
If you think you could manage this
world better than it's Maker, try man
aging the affairs of one of it's inhab-
itants.
If every man condoned the faults Of
others as freely as he does his own,
the world would be full Of brotherly
love.
If you make money your god it will
plague you like a devil.
If you have one black sheep in
flock you will like all the rest the bet
ter for it,
If Success and Ease are enemies at
the beginning of life's journey, they
may in the end keep house together.

your mind to do without the fruit.
If the gnats and briers of life did
not bite, annoy and prick us, we could
easily gather up courage to meet the
lions in it's path.
If you break your promise or agree
ment you injure no one so much as
yourself.
If your pill is bitter, the quicker
you swallow it the better. Bitter pills
sometimes have blessed effects.
If good cheer becomes lacking, false
friends begin packing.
If Suspicion enters Loves gate, he
generally leaves it open for the Mas
ter to pass out.
If by our greatest trials we are able
to purchase the jewel Wisdom, we
should never complain; we have Sc
cured treasure which no thief can
steal, no time can injure.
If Adversely visit you, improve the
opportunity, and weigh your admirers

If you hunt two hares at time,
you will be very apt to leave the one
and lose the other.
If you scott at crooked people, be
very sure that you walk very straight.
If misfortune threaten you, oppose
courage; if passion, oppose reason.
If you will learn from the expert
ence of others, you need not spend a
large part of your life in posing as
an example yourself.-The Marquis of

Dainties for Sick Children.

Even the most unyielding mother
becomes indulgent to her little one
when sick, and who can blame her?
At times when the little one is in such
stage that nothing pleases, the
mothers mind is sorely taxed as to
what to do to induce the little one to
eat. An exchange very helpfully
comes to the rescue in the following,
which we offer to our readers:
When a child is ill, his preferences
and dislikes, judiciously ignored in
days of health, should be remembered
Children, as a rule, are more guided
by their eyes than by their palates,
and fancies prevail strongly in the
young; even in health very Imaginary
dislikes are taken, which an altera>
ton in appearance, or even name, will
remove.
For instance, a small invalid had
been cheerfully eating a little pink
shape, which, served in glass saucer,
almost masqueraded as a strawberry
ice, before she demanded the name Of
her "pretty pudding.''

ly candid nurse replied.

Rules to Learn.

Every woman who needs work and
few there are who do not, must take
account of stock and see what she has
to SELL It amounts to this, does it
not? No matter what her business is,
home life OF public life and every
woman in her right mind can do
something. The trouble is woman is
too often unwilling to begin at the
bottom and work up. Whatever hap
pens, have the courage to persevere.
Who can have confidence in woman
who has lost it in herself?
Here are few rules offered, not be-
cause women are the only people in
the world who need them, but because
they are certainly needed by women,
says Philadelphia Record.
Work The world is not going to
pay you for nothing. Ninety per cent
of what men call talent is only a gen.
JUS for hard work.
Be independent. Do not lean on 9TH
ers to do your thinking or conquer
difficulties.
Be honest and conscientious in the
discharge of every duty. Do your
work thoroughly. No one can rise
who Sights his work.
Be punctual. Keep your appoint
ment. Be there a minute before time
if you have to lose your dinner 10 do
it.
Be polite. Every bow, every smile,
will be money in your pocket.
Be generous. Meanness makes en-.
emies and breeds distrust.
Make all the money you can, hon.
estly; do all the good you can with it
while you live; be your own executor.

ache and pain you happen to feel. A

The leatier of this movement is Repre-
sentative oseph Mansfield, of Mcintosh
county, and in order to convince the
members of the House arr Senate of the
harmlessness of boxing as compared with
the ferocites of football he took about
fifty OF them to witness ten round con-
test between Engils, of Atlanta, and Pc
terson, of Chicago. 1t was determined
fight and resulted in the defeat OF the
Atlanta man. The Georgia legislators
who attended the exhibition refused to
say what impression the brutal sport
made upon them; but. as all of them re-
NAMED until the close, it is not supposed
their moral or their physical sensibilities
were seriously Jared, and it is expected
that Mr.. Mansneld's bill for the promo
ton of the manly art in Georgia will
meet with strong support, if it does not
become law.
The advocates of the measure urge that
when prize fight Is arranged men of
one class are not pitted against men: of
another; but that both must be IF equal
weight; while on the other hand, one
college team will challenge another to a
game of football with very little atten-
ton to the weight and class CT the con-
testants. Frequently the men line up,

with the men of one team a yeraging m ore
than twenty pounds heavier than those
of the other, and, in contest of this
character, where strength and superior
weight mean twothirds OF the game the
result can hardly be otherwise than dis

abroad will make the number of visitors
in attendance during the session from
six to eight hundred. All of the dele

and as the Baptists of this city have al
ways shown a liberal spirit in assisting
other denominations under similar cir

that they should come forward and aid
them in caring for the members of the

engaged for about 800, and citizens able

confer great favor by leaving their
