An Unfortunate Ant.

Once when putting some scraps in a
scrap book drop of the sweet mucil-
age fell upon piece Of paper. Pres-
emily all ant came crawling toward 1t,
doubtless attracted by its sweetness.
1t reconnoitered around the drop a
while, as if to make sure Of no danger
in it. Then it went up to the sweet
morsel, planted it's front feet fairly on
it's edge, and then applied itself yigor-
ously to the task of devouring the
sweet. It was q warm summer day.
The atmosphere was very dry, and be-
tween the voraciousn ess of the ant and
the atmosphere the edges of that drop
of mucila2e soon became dry and stiff.
Shortly after wished to put that very
piece in the book, and when 1 picked
it up found the ant prisoner. The
very thing he thought so good, and in
which he saw no harm, proved bis
death; for when I tried to get him
loose his front legs parted from bis
body, and as an act of mercy l put
him to death.
Foolish ant! do you say? But
hold! There are many just such fool
ish ants in human shape. Perhaps
you are a professor of religion; and
YOU have said, see no harm in the
theater, nor the hall room or social
cards. You like the ant, look on the
appearance, and not into the character
of these things. If you saw theil
character, you must know that they
are death to a religious life. Boys and
men see no harm in social glass ol
the association of the haunts Of vice
They may see no harm in the society
of flppant, foolish revelry: y TheS J

subtle, deceptive gumdrops of death

What Ethel Saw at Church..

"Oh, Aunt Alice, did you ever see
such dowdy bonnet as the minister 9
wife had on to-day?" said Ethel
Mayne, as she returned from church
with an aunt she was visiting. "Dld
you take notice of Z"
mo, my dear; 1 was interested IN
the services and did not observe it."
"Well, aunt, I could not help but
look at it; why are people holding q
prominent position, so careless ABOUT
their personal appearance? am very
glad our minister is a young, unmar-
.ried man. Why the ladies in our
congregation could not tolerate such a
dowdy looking person as your Mrs.
Benciift. 1 noticed a lady in the next
seat and she was beautifully dressed,
with u lovely wrap, exquisitely trim
med I was glad we sat 80 near 1 got
q fine view of it, and / know how l
shall have my new wrap trimmed 1
can do 1t very easily, as took particu.
lar notice of that one."
"You have all the material up stairs,
T believe" said her aunt gently {;
"would you not like to run up for 1t.
and bring down your needle and thim-
BILE, and just arrange it now before
you forget it 2"
"Why, Aunt Alice, it is the Sabbath.
Do YOU think would do such wick
ed thing as to sew on the Sabbath"
said Ethel in shocked tone.
"Why not my dear? Have you not
sewed it over many times in your
mind, to-dayw
Ethel looked abashed, but presently
INQUIRED: "Was it as bad to think
about such thing on the Sabbath as
to do it?"
"God looks on the heart, Ethel. In
His sight you have broken His holy
commandment by sewing on your
wrap to-day"
"But I would not really sew on the
Sabbath for anything"
"You remind me, Ethel of q poor
woman who took out the parts of a
garment and began arranging them to-
gether with pins on Sabbath morning.
/ said to her; you are not going to
sew to-day?' 'Oh. no. she replied,
Il am only fitting those pieces together
nicely, while I think Of it, to sew on
Monday You may smile, Ethel,
and consider the poor woman very
inconsiderate. But is there really and
difference? My dear, Gods com mand-
ment is exceeding broad. He forbids
us, not only to do our own works, but
to think our own thoughts, on the
Lords day. Heart sins are the worst
of all, for they produce all the others"

Four and Twenty Blackbirds

You all know this rhyme, but have
you ever heard what it really means
The four and twenty blackbirds repre-
sented the four and twenty hours.
The bottom of the pie is the world,
while the top crust is the sky that
over-arches it. The opening of the pie
is the day dawn when the birds begin
to sing, and surely such a sight is fit
for king.
The king, who is represented as sit
ting in the parlor counting out his
money is the sun, while the gold
pieces that slip through b his fingers as
he counts them are the golden sun
beams. The queen, who sits in the
dark kitchen, is the moon, and the
honey with which she regales herself
is the moonlight.
The industrious maid, who is in the
garden at work before her king. the
sun, has risen, is day-dawn, and the
clothes she hangs out are the clouds.
The Birds, who so tragically end the
song py "nipping off her nose" are the
sunset. SO we have the whole day, II
not in a nutshell, in a pie.

The shortest way to do many things
ID to do only one thing at time.

Inc SQOTlest way w uo ihauy IhihSS
Is to do only one thing at time.
The education of our children is
never out of my mind. Train them to
virtue, habituate them to industry, ac-
tivity and spirit. Make them consider
every vice as shameful and unmanly.
Fire them with ambition to be useful.
The purposes of the experiences OF
life are to develop our moral natures:
The value of the trials and work OF
life is not in the material good we ac-
uuire, but in the character we develop
from them. The material good is
transient, the character is eternal.
When you 60 home fill the house
with Joy, so that the light of it will
stream out of the windows and doors,
and illuminate even the darkness.
Let us be ourselves and nothing
else, only let us be our better selves
Let us not cease to breathe from the
four winds of heaven let us not give
up our enthusiams; let US not grow
callous and tarnished with the passing
of wears. AS one has said: "iha'
only is great in art which comes from
the depths of pure and true SOUL"

It is one of the most curious things
Imaginable that men should suppose
God to be less merciful to those who
have missed the perfect truth in their
creeds than to those who have failed
to exhibit the right sort of conduct in
their lives.
No life can be pure in its motives
and purposes and diligent and strong
in it's efforts that does not effect all
life about it and make it stronger and
better now and hereafter. None OF
us llveth to himself and no man dieth
to himself"
The man who feels assured that he
has gained the truth is too serene and
contented to 60 screaming his convic'
tions into the face Of the world.

Broad Tires-License to Travel the
Public Roads.


Various writers for the newspapers are dis
cusslng the tire question, and some have sug
gested that difference be made In the tax or
narrow tires and wide tires. 1t occurs 10 III
that the Legislature would not have the rign
to criminate for or against vehicles IN the
matter Of assessment or taxation.
But the public roads being public properly
and the cost of maintaining them being
great, 1t seems to US that persons who desire
to drive over the public highways. might De
required to pay license fee for the privilege
and that the license fee could be arranged Sc
as to charge bigger fee for narrow tires' thai
cut the roads, than may be charged for wide
tires, which might benefit the public roads.
The plan OF requiring license fees Tor using
the public highways seems to be equitable
ard lust. The sums so raised could be In
vested in the further improvement OF the
roads.
But whether license to drive on the public
highways is required or not, the day OF mar
row tiree is past. The wide tires are easier on
the animals, and are better for the roads.

as she said, gave her own life blood
for few weeks love-.
Once or twice she told me she almost
bled to death. The cook Of the hotel
was in her confidence, and before carry
ing Ben's coffee to him that fatal after
noon she dropped the love charm into
the contents and discreetly maintained
silence on the subject. The poor child
was dying before our very eyes and
we never knew it.
About shutdown she dropped quietly
into sleep from which she never
awoke- They buried her in the quiet
graveyard under one of those great
trees she loved SO well, and that now
sings her requiem.
The strangest part Of it all is to
come. To this moment Mr.. Gordon
cannot explain what caused his sud-
den devotion to Eleanor Walton When
he returned to the city, mingled with
the crowds, and resumed his old occu-
pations and amusements, he ascribed it
to the glamour of the hills and lakes.
In fact he was married within the year
to a beautiful young lady to whom he
is much devoted. Now to what cause
would you ascribe his brief and pas
sionate love for that poor girl?
Do you think it was the potent love
charm? or some mesmeric power she
had gained over him that would hold
him in thrall while in her presence,
and which vanquished when he re-
turned to his city home?
No one knows, nor do I think they
will. But all / can say is, that hope
she still enjoys the love in the eternal
land that she gave her life blood for
