WORDS OF WISDOM.

4 tlmid, irresolute, and self.con-
scious mcl will often be cruel when Il
large-hearted and selfrcliant man
would be tender and generous The
latter gives strength and confidence 10
nll with whom he mingles. They feel
his influence and partake Of his ma
ture They grow stronger for his
strength and Drawer for his courage.
Anger, wrote the great historian,
Clarendon, is the most impotent pas
sion that accompanies the mind OF
man; it effects nothing It goes about,
and hurts the mG1 who is possessed
by il more than the other against
whom it is directed
Discomfort is the want Of self-reli-
ance: it is infrmty OK will. Regret
calamlties if you can thereby help the
sufferer; if not, attend your own work
and already the evil begins TO be re-
paired.
Watch narrowly the demonstra-
ton Of truth, It's birth. and you trace
back the anluence to its spring and
source within us; where broods radi-
ancc vast, to be elected ray By ray.
The comfort and success in life de-
pend so much on other relations to
other people that it would seem we
ought 20 give no small attention to the
art of living happily with them.
All real confidence between parents
and children and between brothers
and sisters must depend upon an inn
piled assurance chat none others shall
share 1T.
1t takes lifetime Of experience to
teach US that we are our own best
friend, that we are our own worst
enemy we never learn,
Love is the wondrous angel Of life
that rolls aNiy all The stones of sor-
row and suffering from the pathway
Of duty
You cannot dream yourself into
character; you must hammer ana
forge yourself one,

Hlr Money For nInIes.

Mr. John Tough, son of Captain w.
S. Tough Of the stock yards, has fig
med up how much money the war in
Africa has poured into the Golfers OF
the mule men Of this country, to say
nothing Of the amount paid for horses,
ana which IS being paid all along.
The figures are rather startling and
make Il mercenary man wish that the
war would continue for some time to
come, IL the English viii continue to
want mules and horses, and If they
can be persuaded to buy them here.
Since they have been buying them
here the English have bought 0O,Ooo
mules in this country for shipment 10
South African and other points. FOR
these they have paid an average OF
S75. The complete amount then that

PunCtureiess Tires.

A German scientist has patented
what he asserts to be puncture proof
tire filling. The filing is jelly made
Of glue. Glycerlne is added to prevent
hardening, and an antiseptiC prepara-

The mixture is first heated until it
liquefies and Is then beaten to Il stin

it Is introduced into the tire or saddle
