 An ear-trumpetg0pre( u cmfw emf cmt
 As an ear-trumpet the average woman is not a success Even small patch of ground should be properly sowed.
 Happy are they who look before they marry, and overlook afterward.
 When girl is up in arms the young man in the case seems to enjoy it.
 Nothing so enhances the value of a thing as the difficulty in obtaining it.
 Probably prize fighters deal some hard blowers.
 Some men stand on principle and some stand on.
 Every woman knows that she talks too much, but what she doesn't know is rem edy for it.
 Sharper than the tooth of a serpent is the sarcasm of one who has no sympathy with human vanity.
 When man is under cloud of debt it's rather difficult for his creditors to see the silver lining.

ness until her departure lessens it.
 She is frank and pure of speech, for she knows no euphemisms. Nor does the so- ciety in which she moves misunderstood her honesty. In this she has a distinct ad- vantage over her sisters in some other coun- tries She marries young and bears many children. and is faithful and loving to them and to her husband She can be jealous, and, perhaps, recall little gossip, for in the country she has plenty of time, because food, comes easy and pleasure is the chief business of life; but her country men do not complain.
 Even Porto Ricans who have lived for years in this country and in the hustle of metropolitan life retain their native hos pitality and are excellent examples of wholesome, happy living. Their homes are oases in the desert But in the tropical island of their birth it Is all oasis There is hearty welcome to the stranger and, if he is in distress of any sort, the kindest relief is offered, with no thought of obli- gation.
 Should traveller fall from his pony while on a journey, the inmates of the nearest house will care for him until he is recov- cred. The good wife will nurse him ten- derly and the whole family will be his serv- ants. The only ingratitude he could show for this would be to offer to pay for the trouble he had caused.
 There is always delicate courtesy in the hospitality, too, impressing the guest with the idea that he confers favor in accept ing it, which. indeed, he does. This trait is not confined to any one class of the Porto Ricans-it belongs to all The poorest peon will give his string of fish as gladly and as freely as the rich planter would oner clrp of guarago. It is the gentle southern air fresh always from the ocean, that has softened the ancient Spanish strain and sweetened it.

 What's the use of us taking hold of the Philippine Islands, anyhow?" asked Sena- tor Sorghum. It'll merely add lot of voting territory to what we've already got"
 Don't you want to see the influence of this government extended?"
 No, sir. Bringing in that far-away sec- tion simply looks to me like going ca lot of trouble to effect gigantic gerrymander, without benefit, as far as I can see, to any political organization in particular"

HOW SIZE KNEW

Richmond American.
n A little girl six years old was on a
visit to her grandfather, who was a
New England divine celebrated for
his logical powers.
"Only think, grandpa, what Uncle
Robert says"
"What does he say, my dear?"
"Wpy he says the moon Is made Of
green cheese. 1t isn't at all, is it,"
"Well, child, suppose you find out
for YOURSELF"
"How can l, grandpa?"
"Get your bible and see what it
says"
"Where shall begin?"
"Begin at the beginning"
The child sat down to read the
Bible. Before she got more than hall
through the second chapter Of Genesis,
and had read about the creation OF
the stars and the animals, she came
back to her grandfather, her eyes all
bright with the excitement Of discov'
cry. "I'vc found it, grandpa. 1t isn't
true; for God made the moon before
he made cows"

A WOMAN OF FORTY SUMMERS.

Full OF outline and fair OF face,
Swinging her fan with languid grace,
White arms cleaning through folds Of lace
woman of forty summers.
No thread OF white In the auburn hair,
No line OF age In her forehead fair,
life unmarried by touch OF care,
In spite OF her forty summers.
Summers all, for winters bold
Have snatched heF sunshine and made her
cold;
Have killed her roses and left her old.
!. Nothing she knows but summers.
Nothing she knows Of laden cloud.
OF freezing air and tempcsts loud,
OF snow4t that weave for hope shroud;
Her lie has been only summers.
So calm she sits in the balmy air,
No SORROWS to rest, no cross TO bear,
A summer idyl, vision fair,
This woman OF forty summers
Yet cold and blast but make US strong
After the snow the robins song,
To the fullest life BY eight belong
The wt1tcrs is wen y summers.
And they whom fame shall parve in stone,
The woman whom men wouh fam enthrone
The women whom God has stamped his own
Live winters as well as summers.

The postmaster general has decided
that soldiers in the volunteer army
may have their letters forwarded
without stamps, provided the words
''soldier letters "sailor letters" or
"marine letters" be written plainly
upon the envelope with rank Of field
or staff officer, a surgeon or chaplain.
The letters so franked will be for.
wardcd to their destination and the
postage collected on delivery, because
it will often be difficult to get stamps
at the front.

OF the assertion was proved at camp

through fifteen inches Of pine tree
and bit the man who was skirmishing
behind it. 1t did not kill the man
because it did not hit him hign
