"a Casual observer might suppose
that our business was intensely pro
sale" said d Poydras street commits
zion merchant, but such is far from
being the case. AL sorts OF queer
things happen in it, not the least OF
which are occasional consignments we
receive from nowhere In particular.
~For instance, back In 1895 or there
about we got q load of fine onions one
CAV by boat. No directions accompa-
p3ed them, but we took II for granted
fbey would arrive by mail. When the
eXpected letter failed TO put In an ap-
nearanee and we instituted inquiries,
we could get no clew to the Identity OF
the shipper, and all we could do was to
cell the lot and deposit the money In
bank, waiting on q claimant.
Fully three years had elapsed wnen'
% uly surprise, another load OF the
came kind Of onions came TO hand. ac-

Curious Instances have been cited
vhere makeshift substitutes for the
conventional wedding ring have been
utilized during the marriage ceremony.
One such instance occurred some time
AGO In a nearby town, where the ring
was missing. Nothing better beng
available as a substitute. a curtain
ring was used, and on still another &C
easlon the ring handle Of the church
key was utilized. A couple in this state
used In such an emergency a ring
formed from the outer edge OF coin
and which had been carried by some
one present as a curiosity.
A gallant best man came to the res
cue at a recent wedding, when the ring
was not Forthcoming Mt the right time.
BE drew from his tie the slender stick
pin that had been adjoining II, and'
bending the wire into ring shape, hand
cd the improvised wedding ring to the
distracted groom.
A horseshoe nail bent to the shape OF
q ring Is said to bring a great deal OF
buck TO the owner, and the lead cramp
ring worn six centuries ago has given
place TO various rings now worn to
g9event and cure rheumatism.-Cinctn-

Fancy his surprise when, few hours
afterward, a herd of elephants, doz

and ponies had not only been turned
out into the field, but were fairly wip-

That the farmer was furious goes

There are hindrances to prog

ambition of life. He that would
achieve success and honor; he
that would do q good deed or be a
good man; he that would mount
upward to God, is met at every
turn by difficulties and obstacles.
It is true that every avenue to
honor, usefulness, manliness, is
barred, obstructed, while every
avenue TO dishonor, unmanliness,
Is wide open. The world is un-
friendly to goodness or greatness.
Weeds grow naturally-briars and
thistles need no care; but wheat

ignorance is q natural inheri'

Good Comradeship.

It may have been only cheerful word,
A grasp Of the hand in meeting,
Butt hope revived at the message heard,
Or courage came fnom the greeting.
How fine to think OF a soul waxed strong,
OF burden lightly growing,
Because you happened to come along
When life made its dreariest showing!
For this is the true good comradeship
In the life We live together.
That holds to friend with frmer grin
The rougher the way or weather;
That sings to gladden. the hearts Of all,
Till, with the echoes blending,
The tranquil shadows Of twilight fall,
And the roed has reached it's ending.
