pays not only spiritually and eternally,
but it pays in hard dollars, or bank

Another powerful temptation OF the
legal profession is to artificial stimu

nervous exhaustion that sometimes
comes afterward. The temptation 10

An excellent reply was that once
made by a Yankee pilot to the owner
Of a Mississippi river steamboat. The
boat was at New Orleans, and the Yam
kee applied for the vacant post of pilot,
saying that he thought he could give
satisfaction, provided they were "look-
in for Il man about his size and build"

lank form and rugged face of the APP
plicant with some amusement, but do
you know about the river, where the
snags are, and so on?" We'll, I'm
pretty well acquainted with the river"
drawled the Yankee, with his eyes
fixed on a stick he was whiting, but
when you come to talkin' about the
snags, don't know exactly where they
are, must say"
Don't know where the snags are"
said the boat owner, in a tone of dis
gust; then how do you expect to get
a position as pilot on this river?"

Something for Nothing.

There is no form of deceit more like
ly to occur than self-deception, and of
all kinds Of self-deception none are
more tempting than the things which
happen when man endeavors to get
something for nothing. Nor is it more
reprehensible to get money in this
way than it is to get a reputation
without giving an equivalent-in fact,
there is more damage in the latter
than in the former proceeding. All
sorts of gambling arise from the desire
to get something for nothing without
rendering adequate recompense, stock
gambling and the bucket shops and its
fruits. The world is twisted and torn
by it's tremendous tendency.-Rev. W.
l. Chase.

Depew and the Scotchman.

Scotchmen do not like to be remind
ed of the saying that it requires a sur
gical operation to make them see a
Joke, and, as a matter of fact, they are
as susceptible to the influence of most
good stories as anybody else. DIR. De-
pew, however seems hardly to believe
this, though he has many warm friends
among Scotchmen, including Ian Mac
laren himself. Once at Scotch din
ner the doctor said that If the jokes
uttered by him that evening were not
instantly appreciated they surely would
be by the time the next annual dinner
was held.

ment of handsome old Scot sitting

Through the long hours of the night
we pulled, and when the sun rose we
found ourselves in the same dismal
plight. The wind was dead in our
teeth, and the rocks loomed black and
shadowy in the distance. Having
aboard only sufficient provisions for
two days, it behooved us to find ref

fulness was drawn when, on the even

could put safely ashore. Some part of
the beach was sand, but yer ytreacher-

sandy beach, and one man jumped out
too soon for his life, for he sunk be-
fore our eyes. The quicksands had
swallowed him. With feelings of awe
we pulled toward the rocks, and after
some difficulty we effected landing,
saving, too, at the risk of our lives,
what little provisions we had left. But
in the landing, our boat was dashed to
splinters. And there. rescued from
the sea, we stood upon the rocks in
