BIG ENOUGH TO HIT,
So Thought h Small Boy, but the
Man Thought Differently.

So Thought the Small Boy, but the
Man Thought Differently.
He wasn't very big, but he was a
sturdy little chap with a face that bore
the marks of much thinking and pre-
mature responsibility. l learned after
ward that he was supporting a crippled
mother and an invalid sister who had
been left helpless in the world by the
death of her father. He might have
run away from home and evaded the
responsibility, but he didn't think of
1t. He just sold papers.
AT the loop Oh Fifteenth streetSa
crowd was gathered, waiting for the
evening cars. A ragged young girl vas
selling flowers at the Fifteenth street
end of the waiting station'when a man,
rushing to catch his car, knocked her
against the side Of the building. With
out stopping, probably not having no.
ticed what he had done, he continued
his rush, when the boy stepped in front
of him deiantly. y :
"Say, what do you want to knock a
girl down for? Hit me. I'm big
enough" q
The man paused in surprise and then
glanced around. He saw the flower
girl picking up her wares and under
stood. Without a moments hesitation
he went back to her, gave her enough
money to make her eyes sparkle with
Joy and said:
'fI'm sorry nv dpar that 7 hrrt Won
1 didn't see." Then, turning to the boy,
he continued: "You said you were big
enough, young man, but you're a great
deal bigger than you think. Men like
you will have a lot to do with keeping
this old world In a condition Of self
respect"
Then he caught his car, and the boy
and the girl stood there wondering
what he meant.-Denver Times.

BIG PROFIT IN CHERRIES.


Dark Varieties the Money Makers,
With windsor In the Lead.
The best sweet cherries l have seen
south of central New York are along
the fences where the cultivator has not
disturbed than. In northern Delaware
there are several famous sweet cher
ries in the fence rows and corners, but
nearly all of the orchards that | have
seepJin which modern cultivation meth
DDS are attempted have been failures.
In central and eastern New York the
sweet cherr,, has to be kept on medium
thin land. My father has a young or
chard that is booming on land that
would be considered poor for farming
purposes, but the trees respond there to
tillage.
The soul cherries will probably do
best under high culture. While they
grow well along the fences, they need
more moisture than the sweet varieties
and pay well under the best treatment.
The dark kinds are the money max
ers. Black Iartarian, Black Eagle,
Windsor and Dikeman are the leading
sorts at home. There is big money in
Windsor, and if Dikeman turns out as
we expect 1t there ought to be more in
It.
Sometimes the sweet cherry needs
lime and dies for want of it. Some
kinds need it more than others. Tarta-
rian, l believe, is one of them. Thus
writes Professor G. H. Powell to Rural
New Yorker.

whose abilities in that line were an

Integrity was the handspring, and
Prudence the Regulator
of all the Actions of his life.
Humane, generous and liberal,
his Hand never stopped
till he had relieved distress.
So nicely regulated were all his mo-
lions.
that he never went wrong,
except when set going
by people
who did not know his key;
" then he was easily
set right again.
He had the art of d~isposing his time
so well
that his hours glfded away
in one continual round
of pleasure and delight
till an unlucky minute put a period to
his existence.
He departed this life

Where Violets are More Than Plentiful,
A remarkable display of violets can
now be seen by the tourist In the Holy
City. zone of the most characteristic
sights of Rome, and n comparative
ly little known to tourists, is now in
the height of it's perfection-the vio-
lets of Hadrian's Villa" says a cor
respondent. "On ascending the, long
avenue one Is conscious of a perfume
of violets which permeates the air.-At
ones feet, over the whole length and
breadth of the enormous villa, is
spread a perfumed carpet of this
lovely fower-not monotonouS purple
in hue, but of many shades from
the faintest red mauve-one would
almost say white-down to the richest
purple, and so thickly scattered that
it is impossible to avoid stepping
upon them. Besides this, the ruins
are beautiied in the loveliest way by
the tiny blossoms; wherever is a
Granny there will be one or more vio-
lets, until one can think of no smile
more appropriate than a huge
bouquet. Some idea can be gained of
how many violets there are when 1t is
considered that the visitors at the viii
lage at this time of the year average
from twenty-five to thirty daily, and
that each person carries off a large
basketful, this promiscious picking
making not the least impression on
the millions provided by prodigal Ma
ture. 1t is a sight worth any trouble
to see, but, alas! it only lasts a short
time, as the violet season is not long"

Two Good Investments.
If a young man should come to me
and ask as to the best investments, the
first thing l would suggest would be
good health. Next comes the capacity
for work. You may think that the only
thing to work for is money, but there
are higher aims than this in work. If
you can find nc work, then look within
and examine where your capacity lies.

Wherein Wisdom Lies.
Half of the wisdom is in setting a
limit upon our desires. Half Of the
wisdom lies in the spirit and temper of
the old Stoics, and all of the wisdom
lies in believing that if a man lives in
such a way as to increase his own hap
piness and at the same time the hap
piness of the greatest number of his
fellow beings he has fulfilled the high
est end of life.-Rev. DR.. ]. e. Roberts,

Let Your Hearts Be Opened.
Take a stone; dash over it a vessel
of water; then with a sledge break
open that stone. How much moisture
will you find within? Is it not as dry
as though the sun had spent his hot
test beams upon it for a century? And
when our Lords fingers are still moist
from the shower Of blessings he has
poured upon us and his word still rings
In our ears how much has our heart
absorbed and appropriated for it's own
salvation? We are rich in spiritual
things not in proportion to the seed
that has been sown, but N proportion
to that seed that has found a hiding
place in the soil of the human soul,
where it can be nourished and finally
wave in harvests of Christlike charac-
ter.-Rev. G. p. Wlles, Lutheran. Pitts
