Empty Praise.

To little men and women of the lit.

witlings, there ought to be something
instructive in this word from Thack-
cray, quoted by his daughter, Mrs.
Ritchie. After reading such an esti.
mate of notoriety bya man truly great,
the minnows may we'll consider
whether they are not swimming too
pretentiously.
"There's no use denying the matter,
or blinking at it, now am become a
sort of great man, in my wsy-all but
at the top of the tree, indeed there, If
the truth were known, and having a
great fight up there with Dickens.

ever go that it is rather wearisome
to hear. I don't think my head is
bit turned, please God, for I have al
ways got my own opinion; and when
men and newspapers say, Our sheet
is the finest, and 80 forth, I know a
deal better, and don't disguise the
truth, either.

We have had the German Emperor
from many points of view, even from
that of his barber. The latest pen
portrait is that of the shorthand writer.
William H., since he assembled the
throne, has always had shorthandre-
porter in attendance to take verba-
tim note of his speeches, and Herr
Karl Hempel has frequently acted in
that capacity. In sketch of his sub
ject he says that the Kaiser is easy to
report, for his voice is strong and his
articulation distinct. He only be-
comes difficult when he gets excited,
and on such occasions, though his
pronunciation is clear, he speaks with
lightning rapidity. Moreover, he has
an awkward trick at such times Of
Jerking out detached sentences. For
the first time in his career the EN-.
peror omitted to take with him an of.
fetal shorthand writer to the Holy
Land, but he availed himself of the
services of Herr Dyck, German jour.
nalist established in Jerusalem.-

Standard Bearers of the Cross.

The standard bearer always is a pictur-
esque figure. His is the post OF honor In
the army. and in the moral and spiritual
warfare which Christians wage the same is
true. In Christian service all are hidden to
be standard bearers, and the ideal OF per-
sstent, faithful and unself1sh devo-
tion to the service OF our Redeemer
Is one which It is possible for each to illus-
trate. We talk OF the great heroes and
martyrs OF Christianity as standard bearers,
and We do we'll. They have been, they are
entitled to the name, and by their patient
heroism they have inspired the church. The
Christian martyrs who went to the stake for
their faith, and such more modern heroes
as Livingstone, Harrington, and men still
living who are following In their foot
eteps. have illustrated loyal self-sacrifce
aud splendid success Of achievement which
entitle them to undying admiration. Yet in
respect to quality OF service each one OF US
may be as deserving OF praise as they. He
ingly the ideal OF a jealous fidelity, Of unfai-
tering integrity In business. She may be
standard bearer who sacrifices without q
murmer the opportunities and possibilities
which her inmost soul Graves that her life
may be given to the support or comfort OF
some dependent relative. The home. the
school, the ONCE. the factory, the field, the
deck OF The coaster, may afford place and
means for illustrating a standard bearing
genuinely and equally noble, II not equally
conspicuous and distinguished, with any
ever exhibited upon earth. This thought
may cheer us, that God sees us aud knows
US Just as We are. He makes allowances for
circumstances and conditions. To be q true
Christian standard bearer In obscurity
usually does mean to go through life over
looked by most Of ones fellowmen. But 1t
does not mean to fall OF divine appreciation
now or OF blessed reward hereafter.

Opportunity Is Everywhere.

It is a work OF heaven, surely, to make
people happy. There is much more happi-
ness than misery in the world. so much go
that We grow to think we have right to
happiness and that when trouble comes we
are In a way deirauded. And there is some
right and truth in the feeling, for plainly
the Lord We love meant that We should be
happy,an when we are not so 1t Is the fault
OF those who have disobeyed the eternal
order OF things-sometimes, alas! ourselves.
Rousseau says that 1.-THE opportunity OF max
ing happy is more scarce than We imag-
inc; the punishment Of missing 1t Is never to
meet with 1t again: and the use we make OF
it leaves US an eternal sentiment OF satisfac-
ton or repentance" But In one thing the
philosopher mistakes-the opportunity Is not
scarce. On the contrary. 1t lies oil about US.
The opportunity for kind words and for the
simplest acts OF brotherhood are In the daily
path OF all OF US. An encouraging word to
the servant. OF thanks to the pastor, OF some
thing outside his righte ous fee to the doc
tor, the seat yielded to another, the precious
chance for pleasure surrendered, the con-
fidence given. the trust reposed-these are
opportunities shared by ALL and the people
with whom such things are habitual by rea-
SOD OF the inspiration to do them for the love
OF God and the love He bears His creatures
do not need heroic deeds and mighty sacri-
fees in order to come within thu scope OF
angelhood. Harriet Prescott Sponord, In

The New Dress Sleeves.

Many of the new "dress" sleeves on
Paris gowns have the upper portion
made of one fabric and the long, close
forearm part OF an entirely different
material, which, on thin evening
toilets or models for summer wear, is
shaped exactly like ong mitt. A
gown of spangled Chantilly net, made
up over rose -colored moire, has the
upper part of the sleeve of this tex
tile, the forearm portion of fine Vene-
tian lace, a deep point of which
reaches up over the net sleeve above
the elbow, and down in cuff-style well
over the hand, covering the fingers to
the knuckles.

rho Ashes Of q wuniAn's Dreams.

The women are telling of an Atchi'
son man who treated his wife with in
difference and cruelty in their early
married life. They say he is now down
on his knees blowing into the dead
ashes of her love trying to revive a
spark of affection for him. How wom'
en- love to picture man in such an
attitude! It is probably the dream OF
every neglected wife that some day
her husband will try to warm his
hands like frozen Cupid at the fires
of her love, and will find only dead
ashes there. There is enough dead
ashes in the average woman's dreams
to macadamize q road.-Atchison
