81 have seen thousands of persons
die under all sorts of circumstances,
and never yet have l seen one display
the slightest fear of death" This re-
markable statement was made the 9th
er day by a physician who has prac-
ticed many years in Philadelphia and
who has seen n great deal of hospital
service.
at is popular fallacy," he went on,
"to imagine that a deathbed scene is
ever terrible other than as a parting
between loved ones. The fear of the
unknown is never present at the last.
Even amid ignorance and vice l have
never experienced such scenes as a
novelist who strives after realism will
sometimes picture.
"When a patient is told that he can
not recover and the end is near, he in.
variably seems resigned to his fate,
and his only thought seems to be OF
those who are to be left behind. This
is true alike of men and women.
"Those who become hysterical and
declare they are not fit to die are the
ones who are not as ill as they think
they are. They always get well.
"A psychological reason? Oh, don't
know that there is any. It's just hui
man trait" -Phladelphia Record.

1t was .rJwdCd GU the avenue, and
there was constant stream of yehi-
Giles coming and going. At the crossing
of two of the most congested streets
stood Il police officer, tall and COM
handing, irreproachably dressed and
with an eye that compelled obedience
When the tide of travel surged thick
est, little old lady came to the curb
and looked out into the impossible
stream of carriages and wagons. Evil
IDENTIFY she wanted to get across. The
gallantry of the big policeman took
possession of him. He approached her
and held up his hand.
Don't be afraid. I'll see that you
get across safely" he said.
The old lady shook her head nerv-
ously and seemed more undecided than
ever. The policeman came nearer.
Taking her arm, he started to lead her
across, stopping the steady stream Of
passersby in wagons and carts. The
old lady hung back, protesting. When
the slow way to the other side of the
street had been made, the officer re-
leased her arm. She looked at him in
dazed way and said with some sharp
ness: What on earth did you want to
drag me across that road for? l had
an errand to do on the other side

Chas. Colee and Durham, Coleman
& Fletcher's man are trying to sell to
a company of farmers black Norman
stallion weighing 1900 pounds for
$4,000. The horse is all right in most
respects but the price is ridiculous as
no man can get that much out of him
and we do not believe a stallion was
ever owned in Audubon county when
the purchaser ever realized g, 200 over
and above its keeping.
One year ago John Shoesmith COM
menced working for Frew Hayes.
Rumor soon said it was not money
alone John was working for and that
Mr.. Hayes fair daughter, Sennie, was
the other inducement. Be that as il
may, the wedding occurred at the
brides home Tuesday evening and Mr.
Shoesmith and wife have our best
wishes. They commence life with
bright prospects. The happy couple
will commence house keeping at North
Branch where John will farm his
fathers land and Greeley has lost one
of her best school teachers.

A skunk once challenged a lion to
single combat. The lion promptly de-
clined the honor. why" said the
skunk, "are you afraidT Very much
So" said the lion, "for you would only
gain fame for having the honor to fight
with lion, while every one who met
me for a month would know / had
been in company with a skunk"
This reminds us of the story about
Henry Ward Beecher's father, the IA
nous DR.. Lyman Beecher, who, when
asked why he did not reply to some
body who had severely attacked him
in a newspaper, replied that when a
young man, crossing a field one night
with an armful of books, he saw a
small animal and after hurting several
volumes at the animal found he got the
worst of 1t, and ever since had thought
1t better to let such animals alone

can dream of any other kind Of girl
and it doesn't affect my work, but If
the vision of my dreams has red hair
I'm no good the next day.
"No, it's not superstition. l don't
know what it is. All artists have their
off days from some cause or other, and
some of them have antidotes. l have
none. l just give up when the red
headed girl comes across the path Of
my dreams.
"a friend of mine counteracts the eff
feet Of his hoodoo by clothing himself
In an outlandish way. I have seen him
working in an opera hat, the coat Of
his dress suit and pair Of pink pyja-

other friend of mine always eats lot
of raw onions when he has a particu-
larry sentimental subject to handle.
But when it comes to me just have to
give p'-Philadelphia Ledger.

The Gentle Art of winking.

when you have mastered the gentle
art of winking," said Lord Beacons-
field, you hold the key to success in
your hands"
Every ones personality Is made up
of trivial failings and trivial talents.
Foster the good qualities in your
friends and subordinates and wink at
those failings so dear to their possess
ors. Not to see everything is rule
which will strengthen friendships and
help you to get the best results from
your fellow workers.
HE is no good" said the great Ma
poleon Of one of his officers. "He is
continually looking into the privates'
stew pot"
Il want a man who can keep his eye
on the ultimate result and ignore little
failings. never mind how aggravating,"
said Nelson. And General Gordon once
remarked that the man who lost his
temper because private's boot lace
was tied loosely on the day of battle
did more to lose the day than all the
enemy's guns.

The York (Me) Transcript says that
a Portland minister recently called up
on one of the families In his parish.
He assembled the steps and knocked at
the door. Receiving no response, he
was about to depart when he heard a
window in the next house open and a
woman's voice say, Mrs. Smith, the
minister's at your door,"
What was the pastors surprise and
amusement when he caught Mrs.
Smiths response waited gently around
the corner of the house, Ssh, don't you
s'pose l know it,"
The next Sunday after service Mrs.
Smith met her pastor and expressed
her sorrow that she was away when he
had called.

A gentleman tells the following Joke
on a jeweler: A young man who was
on the verge Of matrimony went to the
jeweler and bought a ring and left in
structions that in 1t be engraved the
legend, "From A to r." which, being
interpreted, meant from Anthony to
Zenobia. To his establishment, on call
ing for the ring the next day he found
it engraved like an Egyptian obelisk
and on closer examination found that
the jeweler had put the whole alpha
bet from A to u" on it.

"Not IL II Were My Boy"

Some years ago the late Horace
Mann, the eminent educator, delivered
an address at the opening of some re-
formatory institution for boys, during
which he remarked that If only one
boy was saved from ruin it would pay
for all the cost and care and labor Of
establishing such an institution as that.
After the exercises had closed, in pri-
vate conversation, a gentleman rallied
Mr.. Mann upon his statement and said
to him:
"Did you not color that little when
you said that all that expense and Ia
Dor would be repaid If it only saved
one boy"
Not if 1t were my boy" was the
solemn and convincing reply.
