"No BOXES SOLD HERE"
A Sign Displayed in Shops Which Guard
Carefully Their Populations.

mo boxes sold here" is the announcement
that hangs In one of the principal jewelry es-
Adjustments In the city. The sign made It's
appearance after the shopping Of one Christ
mas season. But there Is no time Of the year
in which the demand for boxes Is quite discon-
tinued. and the sign serves its purpose always.
The demand for boxes was prompted by the
amiable desire TO deceive some friend or rela-
tive into the beliefthat the article presented to
him came from the best establishment in the
city. Similar attempts arc made at the we'll
known glass and china shops. at one Of the
well-knoWn French contectionors, and at all Of
the establishments which have made a reputa-
ton in some particular field.
Nearly ali OF these answer such applications
with the words of tho sign No boxes sold
here" but there are some few which sell them
as regularly as they do other objects Of mer-
chandise aud arc quite indifferent 70 what be-
comes OF them so long as they get their rather
high prices for the empty boxes bearing the

Faith.

When the suspension bridge across
the Niagara was to be built, the ques-
ton was how. to get the cable over.
With a favoring wind kite was ele-
waited, which lighted on the other
shore. To its Insignificant string a
cord was attached, which was drawn
over, then rope, then larger rope,
then cable strong enough to sustain
the iron cable which supports the
bridge over which heavily laden
trains pass in safety every day, This
could never have been done but for
the little kite string, which may rep
resent weak faith, yet reaches to
Christ and heaven, and may enlarge
TO gigantic proportions, and hold its
possessor fast anchored to the Rock of
Ages.-Selected,

The Silver Bell.

There is pretty story beautifully
told by one of our writer's, of a king
who, when he came to his throne a
young man, had a silver bell made
and placed in high tower of his
palace. This bell should be the
means of telling his subjects that he
was happy, and it should be rung by
no one but himself.
Day after day the people listened
for the silver bell. but it did not ring.
Weeks passed and months and years,
but no tone of the bell was ever heard.
At last the King, grown old in the
palace, lay on his death-bed. His
weeping subjects gathered around
him, and he learned how all the years
his people had loved him; and then
he was happy, and in his joy, with
dying hands, he rang out the silver
bell.-Selected.

Missouri Pacific Railway Company
will insugurate weekly tourist sleep
ing car service between St. Louis,
Portland and Seattle, first car west
bound to leave st. Louis Tuesday eve
ming, February %, and continue
weekly thereafter, making no change
between St. Louis and the Pacific

splendid through accommodations,
matchless scenery and interesting

desirable route to Portland and Sc
