Diu Chief, hut Heap Lazy.

The Indian is no longer either brave
or cunning in warfare, but he retains
n trait which has characterized him
from the beginning-he is lazy. In
one of the western towns not long ago
some one presented an Indian with
an old-fashioned, heavy cast-iron stove,
and intimated that it might be sold for
large sum at n foundry. The In
dian was accompanied by his squaw,
who was carrying a baby. The big
chief took the child in his aFYhs, and
the squaw obcdiently shouldered the
stove, although how she did it was q
mystery. The procession then moved
on, the squaw carrying the stove, the
man carrying the baby. But soon the
big chief grew weary, so he showed the
baby into the oven of the stove, and In
this shape the pair continued on their
way to the foundry.

some old pans beside her companion.

Amid this unusual ripple of talk a
small boy made his appearance, with
wondering eyes, and nose tilted high as
though to take up all the savory odors
that filled the kitchen air.
"Oh, it's you, is it, Benny?" Miss Han.
nah said, peering over her glasses.
"Ies'm," the boy returned promptly,
holding out grimy envelope. "Here
ma sent you your int'rest," and then his
eyes wandered to the steaming pies just
placed on the table, with look that
told how his boyish mouth watered for
| them.
Miss Hannah drew her second pair OF
glasses down from her forehead to theiI
proper position, and, opening the en-
velope, counted the money.

six make ten, and two silver ones make

duty.

Nothing is so satisfying as the un-
attained. If the microscope were to
find the ultimate atom, and the tele-
scope to reach 10 boundary wall to

would be. If Gcd were wholly known,
and His Word fully understood, how

yet he has everything in this world"
But there was his trouble-he had
everything. Life has no zcst when it
has no realization of the unattained.
The man who knows all, who has all,
and who is entirely self-suflicient, has
never had the satisfaction of coming
into ideal possession of the splendor OF
the infinite; he has never reached out
and taken hold of the beyond. Let us
at this Thanksgiving season praise

tanned In this is our stimulus to ac-
aivity. our promise of growth and our

tive, though my grandfather's wife was
your step-grandfather's sister. But IT'S
been given to me to see that it's nigh
enough relation for the Lord to find a
duty in it. And, Cynthy Ann, now that
I'm getting old and gray, ] guess it's
about time for me to be looking up my
duties" she admitted, grimly.
That was all the confession Miss Han
nah could be expected to make. Her
nature would be one rather to do than
to talk.
And all that day and the two follow
ing the small, tidy house witnessed
such life and activity as it had not seen
for many year.

stretched for human need. The Lord
will never accept any halt or halfway
sacrifice. Go to your knees, and then
work to see what you can bring Him."
Now Miss Hannah had "kept Thanks
giving" as she said, for the 20 years
that she had been left alone on the
small, rocky, mountain farm. Every
year this had been well titled and. cared
for, and brought in sufficient for her
moderate needs, and little to place in
the bank against the rainy day of old
age and infirmities. For this she had
sat down to her solitary board, where a
stuffed rooster with cranberry sauce
and vegetables and pumpkin and apple
pie were spread, and gave thanks. She
never thought of going further than
herself. When her cousin Seraph. who
had been The only companion of her
lonely childhood, had married, against
her express wish. "that shiftless joe
Parker" she simply ''let her go her own
way"
The neighbors called her hard" and
SO she was. What was the matter to-
day? She was growing old-56 last
midsummer. Perhaps her mind was
weakening.
She had never noticed before how
lonely the small, weather-stained house
looked as she turned in at her own
gate. How would it seem to have n
lace smiling welcome from the win
dow-or some one watching at. the
door?
She put up" Tom. made her cup of
tea and ate her cold ham and bread,
but it did not refresh her.

marked to herself, land / suppose I'll

You don't love anybody but yourself,
and may the Lord help you! I'm n
pretty halt and poor thing to offer, but
l guess I'll have to give up, and let Him
lead me awhile" she whispered softly
with the fading shadows, and then
came peace. ...#.
The next morning Miss Hannah was
up betimcs, and her small washing
waved in the earliest breeze. That was
nothing unusual, but the trip that she
took with Tom, soon after, was more
so. There was a smile as she passed
the rickety house and wcedy cornfield,
but no stop until they reached the town
poorhouse, standing bare and unshut-
tered, on. its bleak hillside.

bees Are Good EmbnImers.

Bees, says "IIorbis," can embalm as
successfully as could the ancient Egyp-
tians. 1t often happens in damp wealth
er that slug or snail will enter bee
hive. This is, of course, to the unpro-
tected slug, q case of sudden death.
The bees fall upon him and sting him
to death at once. But what TO do with
the carcass becomes IA vital question.
II left where it is it will breed regular
pestilence. Now comes the cleverness
OF the insects. They set to work and
cover it with wax, and there you may
see 1t lying embalmed justas the nations
of old embalmed their dead. When it is
q snail that Is the intruder, he Is, of
course, impenetrablc to their sting;
70 they calmly cement his shell with
wax to the bottom of the hive. Inn

pardon.

FREEDOM OF THOUGHT.
How n Little boy Applied 1t In His
Evening Prayers.

a precocious small boy left at home
by his mother was taken in hand by his
father, who proposed with real mascu-
line tact to make q man of him" dur
ing her absence.
After experimenting in various ways
with but little result, he tried to slim
ulatc, originality and independence of
form in prayer. The child rccited the
Lords Prayer and "Now lay me, after
which he 'sprang up to be kissed and
blessed. His father ignored such ex-
pectations, and said: "Now that your
mother is away, my son, it is a good
time to show your independence of
thought in prayer If there is any bene-
fit you desire, for yourself.or others, ask
God for it. lie will hear you, and IL it
is best for you lie will send it,"
The child wrinkled his brow and bit
his lip. Then, slowly sinking to his
knees, he cried out fervently:
"Send me down horse, n bicycle, and
anything else you may have to spare,
dear Lord. Amen" - Elvira Floyd

slowly, ~ do not think best to make

member, and she had no right to marry

her sin still. ] shall not invite her until
Wednesday afternoon"
If we could imagine an "avenging
angel" with thin, gray hair drawn into
tight pug, two pair of spectacles
pushed high on forehead, and lips set
close, Miss Hannah might have served
for the character at that moment. But
in spite of herself she grew gentler with

that doubt may be dispelled if the de-

The tools needed with which to work
out the various pieces necessary to the
construction will be hammer, saw,
compass saw, a plane, screwdriver and
a small drawknife.
The materials required will be some
pine or white wood boards, about half
an inch in thickness, Il few steel wire
nails, and screws. To begin with, make
two wall plates or sides, measuring "a

Their fur was thick and soft, rich
velvet of reddish-brown on the back,
and snowy white beneath. Their feet
also were white. But their chief beau

ried their nest into n corner of the
cage and reconstructed it there.
After about two weeks l procured
large cocoanut, sawed it in two, and
taking one half of it, made in ii little
doorway. When l put this into their
cage, turned mouth down, they seemed to
go wild with the excitement of delight.
In and out they ran through the little
| doorway 100 times in succession. Some
| times they would jump up on top of
! the cocoanut and survey it all over; and
| then, after washing their faces" with
| their delicate white paws, jump down,
and again run inside. Soon they made
up their minds to take possession of it
as their home. Their nest in the cor
ner they pulled to pieces, and carried it
off mouthful by mouthful into the lit
tie cocoanut hut. There they have
lived ever since.
During the daytime they sleep; but
when evening comes on they busy
themselves running and jumping
about the cage; and they have never
once in three years tried to gnaw their
way out.

TWO COUNTRIES.

Two places know-both are quite near at

Called Busyman's Country and Lazyman's
Land.
You're given. each morning. a chance to
decide,
In the first one to walk, in the other to
ride.
In Busyman's Country the day is so short
They have not much time there to frolic
or sport.
And yet. II you'll notice. when nighttime
comes round,
A happier country could hardly be found.
In Lazyman's Land how the hours drag
by!
There's nothing to do there except yawn
and Sigh.
And so when night comes. in the whole of
the place
You'll find not one smile, nor one satisfied
