DON'T GOSSIP. 1t is net pleasant to
mention ones mistakes of serious
nature. Whatever men may say to
their wives at home, it is not often
that a man will mention his wife's
faults and failings away from home.
1t is quite different with most wives,
however. When they get together
they chatter as freely as children, and
talk of their husbands faults (real OF
lmagined), and those who hear it often
tell it TO others in an exaggerated
FORM. After awhile the husband finds
that he is being talked about in the
neighborhood as if he were worse than
brute. If he is a sensitive man and
occupying a social position where a
good name is everything, be will trace
these stories to his wife. After that be
may continue to provide well and treat
her kindly, but that tender, soothing
affection which has always been such
comfort to the wife will be shocked
out of place in spite of himself. TO
the wife: If you value your husbands
first love and your own happiness,
speak we'll of him at all times. Give
people to understand that in your esti-
nation he is but little lower than The
angels. There is no mistake on earth
so bad as for husband and wife to trif1e
with each other.

"PANTs. "A boy in the Wichita
schools, California, was suspended for
reading the following essay on "pants:"
Pants are made for men, and not
men for pants. Women are made for
men, and not pants. When a man
pants for a woman and woman pants
for man, they are pair of pants. Such
pants don't last. Pants are like mo-
lasses-they are thinner in hot wealth
er and thicker in cold. The man in
the moon changes his pants during an
eclipse. Don't 60 to the pantry for
pants-you may be mistaken. Men
are often mistaken in pants. Such
mistakes make breaches of promise.
There has been much discussion as to
whether "pants" were singular or
plural. Seems to me when men wear
pants they are plural, and when they
don't wear any they are singular.
Men get on tear in their pants, and
it is. all right; but when the pants get
on tear, it is all wrong.-San Fran
cisco Call.

Here Is Good Pay For
Pleasant Work.
GIT Up A CLUB FOR A POPULAR PAPER.
Two High Grade Buggies, First Glass
1899 Bicycle, and a Suit of Furniture
to the Most Energetic Workers.

THIS is the season during which the
l. the people of this section generally
make selection of the newspaper they ex-
pect to read during the following year.
There are large number of people who
now include THE ENQUIRER on their
lists, and who expect to continue it there.
There are many others who are not now
subscribing for the THE ENQUIRER; ;
but who would like to have it.
We want THE ENQUIRER to go as a
visitor to every home
in York county. With the assistance OF
intelligent and trustworthy friends in the
different localities, we know it can be
gotten into many homes to which 1t is not
now going. This assistance is Of much
value to US, and it is our purpose to pay
for it most literally, in proportion to the
service rendered.
The propositions we make herein are
to all responsible individuals, in each and
every locality. There is no monopoly in
the matter. Because an individual re-
turned the name of certain subscriber
last year is no reason why why he should
have any claim upon that subscriber this
wear. Because one individual may al
ready be at work in a given neighbor-
hood, is no reason why another should
not also canvass in that neighborhood.
Every clubmaker is entitled to get SUBJ
scribers whenever and wherever he or
she may be able to get them, and. upon
compliance with the conditions herein
stated, have them counted.
Our plan of compensation to clubmak-
ers this year is on the same line as here
tofore-a competition for TWO LEAD
ING PREMIUMS to be award ed for the
TWO LARGEST clubs, and third lead
ing premium for the largest club OF
NEW SUBSCRIBERS. After that the
value of the premium is i'm proportion to
the number of names returned.

WHEN THE SHOES ARE DAMP
Much advice is given from time to
time in regard to the care of the
youngsters shoes as they come iu from
school, wet and misshaped from con:
tact with wet. pavements aud the un-
confessed wadlng in puddles, which is
sure to delight the heart of the small
boy. But with all this advice about
keeping the children's shoes in good
condition, those belonging to the older
people are usually allowed to take care
of themselves, though they may be OF
even greater Importance and quite as
often damp.
Few people give proper care to their
shoes. They come in damp, tired,
cold perhaps, and possibly not in the
best of tempers, fling their shoes of
impatiently, get into slippers as quick
ly as possible, sit down to rest, for
getting that their shoes will be in
scarcely wearable condition by the
next morning.
If every one would invest in a quart
or two of good clean oats, and keep
them in a bag in the dressing room
they would have at hand the means OF
putting their shoes in good condition
with very little trouble and less cost.
AS soon as the shoes are taken of
lace or button them up, and fill them
about two.thirds full of oats, shake
them down well, then tie in hand
kerchief a parcel of oats as large as
can be pressed into the top of the
shoes to fill the remaining space and
put the shoes away until wanted. The
oats absorb the moisture in the shoes,
and in absorbing it the oats swell con-
siderably, and the constant pressure
on the leather keeps the shoe IN cor
rect shape and prevents that uncom
Portable stiffness and rigidity always
noticed when leather has been wet. A
little trouble and care of this sort will
save many pair of shoes, and in all
probability will save many corn
from being formed by the pressure Of
shoes hardened from dampness.

FOR LYING.

Brother Cobson, a member of old,
if not of good standing in a back
woods church in Alabama, was drawn
up before church committee on the
charge of stealing hog. The old fel-
low showed signs of deep humiliation
when he appeared before the commit
tee, and the nervous manner in which
he chewed his "long green" tobacco
was evidence that be was anxious as
to the outcome of the trial. The chair
man of the com mittee called the meet
ing to order, and then, looking at Cob
son, sadly said
"It do grieve me nightly to be
here"
at don't grieve you nigh as much as
it do me-" Cobson answered.
81 hope not, but fear it does.
Now, Brother Cobson, we want to hear
a straight story. Did you steal a
hog?"
"Well, brother, I reckon you ask
the question because you air interested
in the welfare of my soul"
eyes, brother"
"And you want me to tell you
whuther or not stole the hog"
Exactly"
"Aui if / says yes you will turn me
out of the church."
"We'll be compelled to do that"
"And if you turn me out it will be
noised about that l was put out for
stealin' hog, and that would ruin my
standin'."
"Yes."
"And if say that didn't steal the
hog you will think that am lynn"
"Surely, brother"
"And will be mighty apt to turn me
out anyway"
"More than likely"
"And then it will be noised about
that was fred for lynn"
"Yes, should think So"
swell, I'd rather be turned out tor
lynn, for as mighty nigh every man in
this community is liar, I'll have d
good many sympathizers."
GAIL right, brother; and the report
of the proceedings read as follows
"Brother Cobson stole hog but was
expelled from the church for lyin'."

EATING BETWEEN MEALS,

The practice of eating between meals
is sternly discountenanced by many
well-meaning individuals who are of
dhspeptic habit, or perhaps do better
without any additional nourishment
in the course of a sedentary life. They
are apt to enforce obedience from their
children on this point on the ground
that what suits the mothers digestion
must be equally suitable to the diges.
tive apparatus of the children. The
case is very different. Growing chill
dren of active disposition are apt to
be hungry most of the time and willing
to accept the proffer of anything "good
to eat" (from their own point of view
at almost any hour. Indeed, the boy
who is getting his growth rapidly, fire.
quently eats as if his legs were hollow,
or as if he had as many cavities to be
filled as those that occur in the COM
plex stomach of ruminant.
It was on this account, doubtless,
that the immortal "autocrat" laid down
his golden rule for ascertaining the
youth of an individual, namely, to Of
fer the suspected person a bun imme-
diately before dinner and then note
whether it be accepted.
Since active children need frequent
refreshment and assimilate it without
difficulty, it is well to give them the
most suitable food. Cakes and sweets
generally are not desirable because
they take away the appetite for reg
ular meal, to which they appertain as
a kind of dessert. The better plan is
to keep u generous supply of fresh
fruit constantly on hand in the house.
When a child becomes hungry between
meals and asks for something to eat,
give him apples, grapes or peach.
1t seems to be well-ascertained
fact that apples, while satisfying
the "empty" sensation Of a hungry
person, do not interfere with enjoy
ment of ones regular meals. The
apple is par excellence a health food.
1t helps to keep the digestive appara.
lus in good working order, and the
weak subacid of the fruit appears to
act as lubricant to the machinery OF
the human body. Therefore, instead
of refusing to allow your children to
"eat between meals" or instead OF
permitting them to cram sweet bis
cults, crackers or cakes, it is the part
of wise mother to lay in supply of
apples and allow the children unres-
trained access to the fruit.

stereotyped, as he looked out of the

GETTING OUT OF A DIFFICULTY
A young shorthand writer was once
told to report a speech by Sir John
Macdonald. Now it happened that
the Canadian premier had come on to
the house from a dinner party, and
his speech in matter and form was of a
decidedly post-prandial character.
The youthful reporter, however,
could not believe it possible that Sir
John should want editing, and took
down every word. His editor, on see
ing the copy, told him it would not do,
and as it was not wanted for the next
morning, he was advised to 90 see slT
John and get him to correct it.
The reporter, on being shown in,
found Sir John, as usual, exceedingly
affable.
Having explained the object of his
visit, the reporter was desired to read
his notes aloud. This he did, while
Sir John lay on a sofa listening with
a face of extreme solemnity to his own
incoherencies and correcting them as
occasion required.
When the notes were finished the
premier rose, laid his hand on the
Young mans shoulder, and began in
the most fatherly of tones, 81 see ex'
actly what has happened. Now, my
dear young friend, 1 am an old man
and you are young one, and you will
not mind if l give you word of advice
as to the practice of your profession
Ny advice is this: "Never attempt
to report. speech unless you are per
fectly sure that you are SOBER"
With this Sir John bowed out his
astonished visitor.
