THE PROFESSOR.
He Was Frank to Tell the Young Man
What He Thought.

e. A. Cuppy, Phi. D., who is now
successful editor in New York, studied
at Franklin University, where he was
graduated; at Oxford, England, where
he got his degree. and at Heidelberg.
Professor Jowett, whose Life and
Letters are important literary contri-
buttons, was one Of the most interest
ing personalities to Doctor Cuppy
when a student at Oxford. In his col
lection OF anecdotes about the profes-
sor he tells of walking tour which
one OF the matriculates took with the
pedagogue.
''It was great thing to get an in
vitation to walk with the professor"
he said the other day, "and the young
man who was the fortunate guest was
so embarrassed that he was unable to
carry on a sensible conversation. AT
ter they had been on the road for
about thirty minutes the pupil finally
spunked up courage and remarked: -
nice day, professor
do you really think So? was the
far-awsy answer Of Jowett.
Another half hour passed, and the
boy stammered out:
Mice road, professor
"The teacher responded: DO you
really think so?'
"The matriculate began to boil in
his bones and to get even more fright
ened, but he managed to again blurt
out, Clouds seem to be filing up with
rain, professor to which the answer
was:
"'Do you really think so:
"The two returned to the college
ground and the professor said: "Well,
young man, we have been walking for
several hours. and everything you said
has been as stupid as it possibly could
be-
"His companion replied: DO you re-
ally think SOP
"The professor looked at the young
man q moment. Then he smiled and
grasped his hands warmly. From
that time on conversation never flag.

The ri R. HICKS 1901 ALMANAC
Whatever may be said af the scientific
causes upon which the Rev. Irl 4.

fact that specific warnings of every

The latest startling proof Of this fact
was the destruction Of Galveston, Tex

Hicks in his 1900 Almanac, as one of
disaster by storm along the gulf coasts.

Dog Leaves Home to Live With Foxss

Cascade Township, Lycoming coun-
ty, has dog that was stolen by foxes,
and which now lives in the woods with
the sly animals that stole it. N. j.
MaIoney, farmer Of the township,
had had several chickens stolen by the!
foxes. Mr.. Maloney was not the only
person who missed some Of his chick
ems. There were others. Some Of the
neisnbors waited with shotguns for the
thieves, and four or Eve foxes were
killed.
Instead Of doing that Mr.. Maloney
out a six-month-old pup in a kennel
near the chicken coop. He thought the
dog would frighten the foxes away;
but he was mistaken. The first nlghe
that the pup was put on guard the
foxes made raid, and, besides one or,
two chickens, stole the dog. Il was
thought that the foxes had killed the!
dog; but several nights ago the dog
was seen going along the edge OF the;
mountains with two foxes. The dog
has assumed the slyaess Of fox and
can run nearly as fHst as the foxes. ,

a Fishy Story.

A dispatch from Jacksonville, Fla,
says the most daring and unique high
way robbery in the history of the south
was committed in the center of the city
on a principal thoroughfare late one
night. John 5. Smith, young busI-
ness man, WAS on his way home, when
at the corner of Monroe aud Laura
streets we'll dressed white woman
stepped in front of hin and help him
up. He did not know, however, he
had been robbed until be had lett her,
Then he found that in the cleverest
professional manner she had e1:racted
three $l00 bills and FIVE $50 bills, a
total OF 500, from his pocketbook.

Never IejOice except when thou hast

The wicked never have true joy, nor
feel interior peace, for there is no
peace to the wicked, saith the Lord.
And if they say: We are in peace,
and there shall no evil come upon us,
and who is there shall dare to harm
me:
Believe them not, for suddenly the
anger of God shall rise and bring their
deeds to nausht, and their thoughts

CHAPTER VII.
Of the Love of Jesus Above All
Things.

Things.
Blessed is he who understandeth
what it is to love Jesus, and to despise
himself for the sake Of Jesus.
We must leave what is beloved for
the sake of the beloved; for Jesus VIII
be loved alone and above all things:
The love of things created is deceit
full and inconstant; the love OF Jesus Is
faithful and enduring.
He that clingeth to the creature small
fall with its falling.
He that embraceth Jesus shall be
firmly rooted forever.
Love him and keep him for thy friend
who, when all 1orsake, will not leave
thee, nor suffer thee TO perish nnaily.
Sooner or later thou must be separ-
ated from all. whether thou Wllt or
no.
In life and in death keep thyself near
TO Jesus. ard .ntrust thyself to his hdel-
fty. who alone can help thee Wien all
others fail
The nature of thy Beloved is such
that He will not admit OF a rival ouc
He will have thy heart for Himself
alone. and sit as king upon HIS own
throne.
If thou couldst empty thy heart Of
every creature Jesus would Willingly
make His dwelling with thee.
Whatsoever thou reposest IN men, out
of Jesus, thou wilt find to be well nlgh
lost
Trust not, nor lean upon a reed full
of wind For all flesh is grass, and
all the glory thereof shall fade IKE the
flower of grass"
Thou wilt soon be deceived, if thou
regard only the external appearance Of
men.
Indeed. if thou seek in others thy
comfort and thy profit, thou wilt more
often meet with loss.
IF in all things thou seekest Jesus.
truly thou shalt find Jesus; but if thou
seek thyself, thou shalt find thyselt
also, but to thy own ruin.

THE BABY.

Oh. this is the way the baby came:
Out of the night as comes the dawn,
Out of the embers as the flame,
Out of the bud the blossoms on.
The apple bOugh that blooms the same
AS in glad summers dead and gone,
With a grace and beauty none could
name
Oh, this is the way the baby came!
And this is the way the baby woke:
And when in deepest drops of dew
The shine and shadows sink and and soak
The sweet eyes glimmered through and
through.
And eddyings and dimples broke
About the Inns, and no one knew
Or could divine the words they spoke
And this is the way the baby woke!
And this is the way the baby slept;
A mist of tresses backward thrown
BY quavering signs where kisses crept
With warnings she had never known.
The little hands were closely kept
About q lily newly blown,
And God was with her, and we wept-
And this is the way the baby slept!
