You can help your fellowmen; you
must help them. But the only way
you can help them is by being the
best and noblest person that it is pos
sible for you to be.-Phillips Brooks.
1t was said of one that as he prayed
he spoke as if God were near, and
talked with him so really and con-
fidingly. that those who were beside
him found themselves almost looking
around to see where God was.-Tay-
lor.
1t is the little word you speak, the
little thought you think. the little
thing you do or leave undone, the
little moment you waste or use wise
~, the little temptation which you
yield to or oyercome-the little things
of every day that are making or mar
ring your future life.--Light on the
Hidden Way
Nothing is eternal but that which is
done for God and for others. That
which is done for self dies. Perhaps
1t is not wrong, but it perishes. You
say it is pleasure-well, enjoy it. But
joyous recollection is no longer JOY.
That which ends in self Is mortal.
That alone which goes out of self into
God lasts forever.-F W. Rob
ertson.
God within us, Not only ever with
us unseen, not only watching us in
our secret moments and reading the
very thoughts of our hearts, not only
covering us with the shadow of his
wings and lighting us with the light
of his countenance, but within us-our
bodies his temples, our hearts his
home. Oh, if we could but grasp the
thought, we should live lives nobler
and more beautiful. w. Farrar.
Neither be we of doubtful mind,
said Christ to his disciples. The word
describes the tossing and veering of q
shin that is at the mercy of the
wind and wave; a miserable condj-
ton for the soul to be in. The OPP
posite and happy state of mind is to
have a goal, an aim, course in life
and to hold it without swerving. What
we need is not new compass every
year. but new determination to steer
straight by the old compass, which is
the Word of God in Christ Henry

1t is related, on the authority Of DR..
Edward Eyeretttt Hale, that a wealthy
gentleman, known to him, has for sew
eral years past been paying the college
expenses of various young women who
had no claims upon his bounty other
than those his generosity prompted.
They were selected presumably at his
desire-from those pupils of the pub
lie schools, who, in the opinion Of their
instructors, were most worthy and best
fitted to pursue college career. This
year several of them graduated at
various women's colleges, and but one
of their number wrote to their bene-
factor to express thanks and gratitude.
This seems ungracious and almost in
credible. PAY that thou owest," as an
injunction, has wider application
than to mere monetary Indebtedness,
and benefits forgot and unpaid in
gratitude, proclaim niggardliness OF
soul, as we'll as lack of high principle

be polished or waxed, preferably dark,
and strewn with bright rug or two,
although a lounge and chairs uphol-
stored in blue and white cretonne are
desirable for comfort and cheer. The
lounge must be broad and low, with
several durable pillows. This will be
appreciated by the head of the house.

SHOOTING WILD HORSES.
Method by Which Maud whiteman o
Nevada Gets a Living.

Method by Which Maud Whiteman OF
Nevada Gets a Living.
Shooting wild horses for a living
seems odd employment. especially for
womun, but there is a woman in Me-
vada who earns her livelihood in just
that way. She is a Californian, too,
and yong woman, only 20 years old.
Her name is Maud Whiteman Until
she went to Nevada six years ago her
home was on ranch some few miles
from Fresno. Being of sturdy and
venturesome disposition, Maud early
learned to manage horses and to feel
at home in the wilds, so it happened
that when her father by some mis-
chance was forced to part with MS
home in California his daughter was
fitted to be his helper in the rude re-
gion selected by him for a further
struggle with fate. The father, whose
name is Wilman, is an old soldier,
having served his country in both the
Mexican and civil wars He Is tall,
fine-looking man Of splendid physique.
He is, however, no longer young, and
the sixty-fve years that have passed
over him have limited his opportuni-
ties for work, so he decided to kill
wild horses for their hides Neither
his age nor his lack of capital him
dered effort in that direction, while
prices for hides were fairly good, and
wild mustangs were plentiful. From
the first Maud was an ac,.ve partner
in this business. She is a bold rider
and fine shot and can bring down
horse at a distance that would win a
sportsman's admiration. When en-
gagged in this pursuit she dresses like
man, DOMINIC overalls in addition to
flannel shirt and mans soft hat.
The method of killing is ingenious.
Mounted on horses, the father and
daughter set out for the task. They
keep discreetly in the background,
however. while dogs drive a small
herd of their own horses to the spring.
These serve as a decoy. Gradually
wild horses come up, mingling with
the rest When suspicion has been
quiet the man steals near, wounding,
with view to disabling, the leader of
the herd. All others of the wild band
Immediately rush away, but soon they
return in quest of their leader Now
is the opportunity. The mounted rid
ers rush from hiding, shoot as many
as possible, and follow the fleeing vic
Tins until all, or nearly all, are killed.
Maud is an expert at removing hides.
When her father has taken the names
and tails, which are also salable, she
strips off the hides. These are dried
by spreading them upon sagebrush,
placing bags or blankets between them
to admit of free access of air. At the
end of three weeks they are ready for
shipment. Sometimes as many as
seventy are thus disposed of in a
month.-San Francisco Examiner.

Champion Pie Eater.

According to Niles (Mich.) CORE
spondent Of the Chicago Times-Herald,
James Bradt of Mendon, champion pie
eater of Michigan, was found dead
few days ago in an out-of-the-way
place. No marks of violence were
found on his person, and the coroner's
jury returned a verdict of heart fail
ure. Bradt was nearly 60 years of age
and a typical specimen of the down
east Yankee. He lived in Mendon up
ward of thirty years He was tooth
less, and at one time ate ten pies in
one hour, the first pie in forty-four
seconds.

According to his own story Sol Va,

According to his own story, Sol Van
Praag, the noted Chicago statesman, is
a much-wronged person. At the time
the grand jury indicted Mrs. Van
Praag, his wife, for keeping panel
house" the sorrowful Sol declares she
was at an afternoon tea and that at
precisely the same hour he was busy
directing political meeting. This is
certainly q deplorable condition of
things, and must necessarily cause a
falling off in attendance at pink and
other teas held in the afternoon. The
idea that a lady should be indicted by
the grand jury because she was absent
from her whisky-row saloon pouring at
tea!

The Evil OF sin.

Men are telling us nowadays that
there is no such thing as sin. 1t is
dream, delusion. 1t must be left out
of account. All the evils in the " orld
are natural and inevitable. They are
simply the secretions of human nature.
There is no more shame or ~guilt con-
nected with them than with the ma
laria of the swamp or the poison of the
nightshade. But Christ tells us chat
sin is real, and that it is the enemy,
the curse, the destroyer of mankind.
1t is not part of man as God made
him; it is part of man as he has
unmade and degraded himself. 1t is
the marring Of the divine image, the
ruin of the glorious temple the self
mutilation and suicide of the immortal
soul. 1t is sin that casts man down
into the mire. 1t is sin that drags him
from the fellowship of God into The
company of beasts 1t is sin that leads
him into the far country of famine,
and leaves him among the swine, and
makes him fain to fill his belly with
the nuSKS tndt the swine 90 eat. Tnere-
fore, we must hate sin, and fear it,
and abhor it, always and everywhere.
When we look into our own heart and
find sin there, we must humble our
selves before God and repent in sack
cloth and ashes. Every sin that whis-
pers in our heart is an echo of the
worlds despair and misery. Every
selfish desire that lies in our soul is a
seed of that which has brought forth
strife, and cruelty, and murder, and
horrible torture, and bloody war
among the children of men. Every
lustful thought that defiles our i'm
agination is an image of that which
has begotten loathsome vices and
crawling shames throughout the world.

Flowers six Thousand Years Old.

Well-preserved flowers discovered at
Dahsourh, in Egypt, in tombs of the
times of the Pharaohs, have just been
placed in the Cairo museum. The
commonest of these were the white or
blue lotus, the red poppy, the leaves
and flowers Of the pomegranate, Of the
saffron and Of the crocus. 1t seems
that the flowers and plants OF today
are the same as flourished then, and
that chrysanthemums were known
5000 years ago. Some of these flowers
found in the tombs, when soaked in
water, seemed to revive.

From out the night-sky's fieecy bars,
