Be CHEEKY.

Why should a person make himself
a nuisance? What gain is there in
grlmness, and sourness, and unsociab bill
ity? Few people care to listen to whin-
ing and complaint. On the whole, the
world uses us as we'll as we deserve
1t is very hard for the defeated to ad-
nit this, but it is a fact, nevertheless
and If only admitted, one Of the chief
reasons for defeat is removed. A cheer
full philosophy is an important element
of success. He who is perpetually sus-
pecting others Of ill-treating him and
keeping him down Is not welcome
companion. Every man is of less i'm
portance to the world around him than
he likes to think. But he can easily
test 1t by asking how much he himself
dwells upon the condition of others
BY as much as their grievances do not
particularly concern him, by so much
his own are matters Of Indifference to
them. SO let him be pleasant. bury his
sorrows, pocket his affronts, make him
self agreeable, trust to Providence and
thankfully take what comes.

fetal life in the capital. Indeed, that
good lady has spent most of her days
under the shadow of the big dome.
Mrs. Sherman is the only daughter of

embarrassment was cleared by Mr..

Things to Think About.

Love with contentment makes SER
vice easy.
AS love makes frugal meal sweet so
1t makes pure life happy.
You cannot cheat justice when God
is both judge and executive.
The surest way to have something
and TO keep it Is TO earn 1t.
1t Is just as wrong to cheat ones self
as it is to cheat ones neighbor.
An ardent lover may become an mr.
dent hater; extremes are unsafe.
Christ has a just, true estimate of
himself. What other man ever had?
No mans life is dead level: II Is
upward or downward, just as he makes
1t.
There is no surer nor shorter toad IN
nowhere and to nothing than to 90 it
blind.
Bad food makes bad blood; 50 had
company, books or people make bad
morals.-Standard
A man who allows himself TO be Ga
years old instead of 60 years young Is
either lazy or going to seed.

Each Life a Plan of God.

I'm every age men have cherished
the thought that God cares for each
life. So momentous those mementos
called betrothal, marriage, the
death of babe or mother or states
man, that men would fain associate
these events with an infinite God.
Finding that no grain of sard, no par
ticle of flower dust escapes natures
notice, man is unable to support the
thought that there is no place for him
in Gods tender regard. AS King Lear
going forth into darkness and the driy-
ing storm suffered broken heart. not
because he was uncrowned, but be-
cause he was uncared for, so life holds
no greatness, no honor and no gifts
that suffice for staying the tears Of
him who feels that he has drifted be-
yond the reach of the divine care and
oversight With all reflective minds
let us consider that II man Is buffeted
about by fate and chance; If ma tier
and force use the soul for long life
game of battledore and shuttlecock.
then the brightness of day is darkness,
all music is dirge, all colors are black.
and life's every joy must at last pass
under perpetual eclipse. The thought
that God cares for me- has armed man
against many emergencies and been n
panoply against thousand ills. The
heroes who have stained the battle
fields with blood and won victories for
liberty and religion have survived
their disasters through the faith that
Gods plan is a golden cord binding
each life to an eternal throne. Standing
under the midnight sky looking into
the realm where stars twinkled and
suns blazed the seer found it easy to
believe that man moved forward under
the embrace and convoy of an infinite
God. For the heavens will not allow
man to forget for single minute that
there are no wandering stars, no run
away suns, no planets dashing wildly

through space Natures threads are
all intermeshed. Her web and texture
is all unbroken. Because the star
wheels do not slip their cogs, because
all the systems reyolve about one cos
mic center, there are no collisions or
planets. no clashing of suns. From the
thought that millions of orbs making
up the community of the sky move for
ward under divine convoy, the sage
passed easily TO the thought that God
is carrying all men and nations upward
toward sublime elimination. When
the drama of this life, with its con-
ficts, its disasters and defeats. shall
give place TO the amazing victories and
disclosures Of love In another life, all
who have lived and loved shall enter
that far-off dim event toward which
the whole creation moves. N. d. Hill

The teacher did her best to keep up

there was no supper to eat. Every

noon. Later in the evening the wood
ran out and the pupils became chilled
with the creeping cold. When the last
stick had been fed into the red mouth

encouraged by the teacher, yentured
to open the door. 1t was walled to
the top outside with snow. But like
the plucky boys they were, they bur
rowed head first into the drifts TO the
oodpile and managed TO pull out sew
eral sticks of wood and drag them into

done they were nearly frozen with the

Game of Three Things.

Three Things is game played by
any number of persons sitting in a row
or circle. The one who begins gives to
his left-hand neighbor the name of
three things beginning with the same
letter, which the latter must then con-
meet in some way, and then give three
other things to the next in line. When
anyone is unable to connect the names
he receives he must pay a forfeit, and
the names are passed along to the next
player. Thus, the player gives out:
Hen, ham and heaviness." The sec

Gain of Seeming as One IL.

Years and experience make their
marks and show their traces, in face
and form as well as in speech and writ
ing, and in habits of thought and judg-
ment. Gray hairs, and burrows and
wrinkles, and measured steps, and a
bowed form, tell their story in their
own way, as surely as do words of
maturity in wisdom, or of INDUCED vice
and folly. And, when fairly gained,
these signs are possession to be
grateful for. A sensible man or a SEN
sible woman would not willingly part
with such evidences of progress. 1t is
only an evidence of advance in years
without an advance in true maturity
that prompts man to want the lines
Of character to be touched out Of his
photograph, or woman to consent TO
color her cheeks, or dye her eyebrows,
or to deck herself in the garb of young
er years. Such person lacks the best
qualities of both youth and maturity.
He who is not willing to seem himself
is not likely to be successful in trying
to seem anybody else. If we have years,
let us be willing to show the signs Of
them-Sunday School Times

Never Wear Tight Giove..

Among the siIIIest of women Is she
who wears tight gloves In the hope
that her hands will thereby be made
to look small. The opposite effect is
sure to follow If the senseless practice
be INDUCED In for any length of time,
for tight gloves. like shoes, always
make the hand swell and increase In
size by years of such injudicious treat
ment. Tight gloves are always respons-
ible for redness Of the hands and for
wrinkles. Women who care to pre-
serve the whiteness and beauty OF their
hands and arms always wear loose
gloves.
