Pleasant Memories.

Pleasant memories: are Of perennial
growth. They prrprtuate themselves
year by year. They do not die out with
the close Of each SIMMER. They arc fresh
in the autumn. They have life through
the winter. They blossom anew each
spring Without any new sowing. Yet
pleasant memories may be planted in a
fitting soil in single hour. A kindly look
and word to young child may be the
seed of glad and grateful memories to
that child for Il lifetime. An assurance
Of sympathy in time of sorrow and need
to one who is heavily hnldrnrd may fix
remenlbrances for all coming years Of the
loving heart that gives its expression.
The seed sowing is of the hour. The llar-
vest is continuous and amending. Now
is the time to SOW for that harvest. The
sowing is deliberate. the growing and
1~apiny arc unconscious and Involuntary.
There is no harvest where there was no
sowing. If we neglect 10 SOW now, others
may never reap from our good labors.

looking individual off the stage and the
last man in the world you would take for
vaudeville performer. One of his star
tricks is to pretend to drop an article and
after desperate scramble catch it just
before 1t touches the floor. While we
were looking around in a curio shop to
which l escorted him the proprietor call
ed his attention to a beautiful little vase
which happened to be a valuable histori-
cal relic.
"'Would you allow me to see it in my
hands?' asked Fleming.
"'Certainly,' said the curio man and
lifted it out Of the case with the greatest
delicacy and care.
"'How very interesting remarked
Fleming, turning it from side to side,
and then all Of sudden it slipped
through his fingers. He made series
of frantic clutches, tossing it to and fro
and keeping it in the air by apparently
pure miracle until he finally grabbed
1t when it was within a couple of inches
of the floor. During this breathless per-
Torrance the proprietor stood petrifed
with horror, and at each fresh slip he
gave an involuntary shrek. When be Sc
cured his treasure, he was as white as q

in few moments Fleming did exact
ly the same thing with an eggshell tea
cup that had belonged to the Empress
Josephine and repeated it with a mag
nifcent wedgwood plate. Each time he
did the trick l thought the dealer would
swoon. When he got the plate in his
hands again. he proceeded to show us the
door.
""This is very strange protested
Fleming. Don't you want our custom:'
"'Id like your custom well enough
replied the dealer, If l wasn't subject to
palpitation of the heart
