Looking Ahead.

The beautiful maiden had been buried
in thought all evening, but when she saw
her father put down his newspaper she
pulled stool up beside his armchair, and
the old gentleman at once OWNED that a
consultation of vast importance was about
TO begin.
Papa said the beautiful maiden,
looking earnestly into his face sis it true
that two people can live as chcaply as
one?'
The old gentleman started Somehow
the question brought back some of his
younger days when he had attempted to
demonstrate some such proposition as that.

The beautiful maiden clapped her hands.
"Good" she exclaimed.
"But | cannot recall an OCCASION" the
old gentleman went on, "when the two
were able TO live in anything like the ease
and comfort that the one had lived pre-
yiously.'
"Har0ld says he has figured it all out, 4"
she protested land he is sure that it can
be done. He can sit right down with a
piece of paper and pencil and prove that
both of us can live on what it costs him
alone now"
"Well, +" said the old gentleman reflect
lively, Gas l said before, it has been done.
But the fault usually lies in the fact that
the one who does the figuring doesn't go
far enough. "
81 don't believe l understand "
"Can three live upon what it costs twoS
And how about four?'
"I-I-why, papa'
81 would like TO have Harold quote a
few figures on that proposition. This is u
progressive world, and just about the time
that two have learned to live on what it
costs one it very often becomes necessary
to begin figuring from new and entirely

are as elastic as the future possibilities -

President Lincoln's Birthplace.

Abraham Lincoln, our great war prcsi-
dent, was born in Larue county, KY, in a
rude little log cabin. This cabin has re

when n little baby boy was born to Thomas
and Nancy Lincoln, or "Linkhorn, as the
name was then spclled--humble settlers, 4"
who had moved to the neighborhood from
Washington county four years before.
4he few living people who remember
Thomas Lincoln, the father, say that he
was a rather improvident man. not work
ing long at any one thing. He was hard
worker, but was a poor manager, and the
little family was often without more than
the simplest necessarics of life. Thomas
Lincoln cleared few acres around his
cabin and raised small crop of corn and
grain. Then he became a carpenter and
tinker, working at such odd jobs as he
could find among the pioneer neighbors.
Hewas away at work at the time A abraham
was born.
The neighbors heard that Mrs. Lincoln
was in the cabin AL alone with the little
baby, and had little TO eat except corn and
potatoes. They at once visited the Lincoln
cabin, taking such delicacics as their
houses afforded. The father returned in a
few days, and the ba.ly was namod Abra-

had been killed by the Indians when

Keen II Ont of Your Mouth.

The practice of wetting lead pencil on
the tongue before using is an unclean
habit, to say the least, and perhaps also n
dangerous one, says The Medical Review.
Recently woman of fine bearing and
elegantly dressed stepped into the counting
room of one of the papers of large city to
insert an advertisement. Having no PEN
Gil of her own, she picked up one that was
tied with string to pad used for writ
ing AT once she moistened the lead with
her tongue and began to write
An elderly woman who was standing by
reminded her that the pencil had just been
used by an old man. ragged and dirty
greasy and filthy, who also had contracted
the same habit of wetting the pencil on
his tongue every time he wrote word
The disguised woman flung the pencil
away and scolded the young man behind
the counter until he had sharpeneda brand
new pencil for her use aud benefit.
The habit is foolish one. Instead of
making the pencil write more freely and
easily, It hardens it and makes 1t write ir-
regularly. Newspaper men and those who
use lead pencils n great deal never dampen
the lead in the mouth or with sponge.
Besides being injurious to the lead, it is
dangerous habit, inasmuch as disease has
been known to be conveyed in that way
into the system. Philadelphia Times

Successful Hotel Keeping.

There is one motive that inspires every
kind of hotel so universally that it is a sort
of axiom in the business. 1t is this, ''It
always pays TO please the guest at any
cost. A."
This business is as directly built up and
torn down by the opinions of its patrons as
any other one could name, and the head
mind of hotel enterprise stays awake at
nights thinking up schemes to please his
customers. His days he spends in seeing
to it that they are not displeased.
If pleased, they are likely to come again.
If they are especially pleased, they arc liable
to say something to somebody that will
bring in other patrons, who, in turn, may
bring in still more friends. But if they
are displeased exactly the opposite effect is
likely to be brought about That Is the
hotel mans situation. He would rather
lose the profits on IA dozen of his patrons
than the good will of one Of thcm.-Jesse

The Future.

The following, from the pen OF
George D. Prentice, is printed by
request: "It cannot be that
earth is mans only abiding place.
1t cannot be that our life is a
bubble cast up by the ocean of
eternity to float a moment upon
its waves and sink into nothing
ness. Else, why is it the high
and glorious aspirations which
leap ike angels from the temple
Of our hearts are forever wander
ing unsatisfied!
Why is it that the rainbow and
cloud come over US with a beau
ty that is not on earth, and then
pass off to leave US to muse on
their loneliness? Why is it that
the stars which hold their festi-
val around the midnight throne
and set above the grasp of our
limited faculties, forever hooking
US with their unapproachabIe
glory?
And finally, why is it that the
bright forms of human beauty
are presented to our view and
taken from US, leaving the thous-
and streams of our affections to
flow back in an Alpine torrent
upon our hearts? We are born
for higher destiny than that of
earth. There is a realm where
the rainbow never fades, where
the stars will be spread out be-
fore us like the islands that slum-
Der on the ocean, and where the
beautiful beings which pass be-
fore us like shadows will stay
forever in our presence.
