WISE WORDS.

Cheerful giving always makes the
giver rich.
Unless the heart first gives, what
the hand bestows is not a gift.
Don't try to be an assistant book
keeper to the recording angel.
When praise is going up. showers
of blessings are sure to be coming
down.
When we have a keen eye for the
faults of others, we are apt to be blind
to our own.
A right state of heart cannot be
maintained, without keeping a close
watch on the tongue.
Nearly everybody has more trouble
erasing the cost mark on a present
than he las selecting it.
Every woman has an idea that it
ought to be a pleasure for a man to
work for money for her to spend.
Time is infinitely long, and each
day is a vessel in which a great deal
may be poured if we actually fill it
up.
The best flaterer is the mar or wo-
man who conceals defects without re-
sorting to positive and palpable false.
hood.
There is nothing which marks more
decidedly the character of men and Of
nations than the manner in which
they treat women.
Leisure will always be found by
persons who know how to employ
their time; those who want time are
the people who do nothing.

President Mckinley stated in his
Message to Congress that the receipts
for the last three years, ending juno
20, 1896, have fallen short of the
necessary expenditures by the snor-
nous sum of $137, 81, 726. 46, and
shat the eight months in the present
6scal year have increased this amount
to $i86, O61, $50. A; while during the
same period the bonded indebtedness
va increased by the snug sum Of
1862, 315, 400. Thus We find that
Mckinley takes charge of National
affairs with the governmental receipts
falling short of the Government ex-
psnditurss by n yearly deficit OF nearly
SAG, 900, 900, and the bonded indebt-
edhess having been piled up to tho
tune of 1902, 315, 400. When Cleve-
land took the reins of government in
1893, the annual receipts of the ma
ton exceeded the expenditures by
nearly two and q half million dollars,
and tho annual interest charge was
less by something like eleven ard
ons-half million dollars.
There is little doubt but what the
President will do his utmost to relieve
tho financial distress and business
stagnstion which confronts the Amer
lean people to-day, and which is no
thing more or less than the legacy
which Cleveland as the commander
in-chisf of the Great Democratic
Party has ssen fit to bsstcw ass sweet
fsr-gst-me-not to his country. Nc
Kinlsy believes that an increase in
taxation is the means by which the
receipts "a be made to equal the ex-
penditurss, and by which the vast an
nual deficit which seems to have been
. too prominent characteristic Of
Cleveland rule, can DO wiped out, and
. strong current of business prosperity
and confidence be made to supplant
the present inactive and distrustful
conditions. He believes that a pro-
tectivs tariff will bring relief to the
great army of unemployed, stimulate
trade, and right the wrongs from
which the country is at present suffer-
ing. and which are left as = momsnto
Of Mr.. Clsveland's idea of government.
All we have to say is that the Amer
lean people have confidence in the
Presidents power and ability to bring
about the much needed change, and
await the turn Of the tide.

a few days. The trail runs through the
Seven Devils country, as one need not
be told from the copper color that
stains every rock and boulder within
sight. This is a most interesting, varied
and picturesque section and the early
morning rides through the deep piney
woods were filed with increasing de-
light and charm. The start would be
made while the great trees were still
shrouded in grey and mist and before
the sun rose red and purple over the
neighboring snowbanks. We rode
through those dense solitudes almost
solcmnly, for beneath those heavy
branches, who has not felt in some de-
gree the plaintive grief they seem to
voice? Their silence is like none other;
their quiet more eloquent than song or
sermon; their voices, when the wind
sways their plumy tops, is like the sob
Of human sorrow. Through it all one
seems to feel the presence of God whis-
pering through the leaves, slumbering
in the canyons or muf1ed in the tall
and waving reeds. The air is resinous
and balsam, crisp and sweet as the
breath of babes. The red sun is paint
ing great bars of gold across the curl
ing mist that rises from the little
stream far, far below. The giant peaks
of the Seven Devils stand out in cold
and isolated splendor while sunlight
and shadow are playing caprices along
their hoary sides.
