BETTER THAN A PLEDGE.
How Man who Wanted to Stop
Drinking Was Helped Out of
n Dilemma.

A Cleveland man tells this pathetic
and characteristic story of the late
Rev. DR.. John Wesley Brown, the incl
dent occurring while he was rector OF
Trinity church, in this city. The story
was told the narrator by the doctor
himself.
One evening a stranger called at the
rectory on Superior street, adjoining
the church. He was a well-dressed
well-appearing man, but evidently in
deep trouble.
Or Brown" he said, 81 have come TO
you for advice and assistance. | am a

and l will sign it, and you will wit

DR.. Brown leaned back and looked at
the man.
How long have you been drinking
to eXcess?" he asked.
The man told him it was five or six
years; ever since he obtained his pres
ent position. He only drank to excess
when he was with his friends. He
never drank at other times. When he
vas with his friends he would forget
himself and overstep the limit Some

AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION
1t Was Made by Trunk Owner to
Satisfy n Curious Customs
Official.

Here is a story that the ladies should
appreciate. A young married woman
who has many acquaintance in Cleve-
land took a little trip in company
with hubby up to Montreal and back
not long ago. When they reached that
busting city they were approached by
a respectable looking individual, who
offered for a modest consideration to
convey their trunk to the hotel. Never
dreaming that a confidence man might
be hidden beneath such a simple ex-
terror, the husband closed the bar
gain and the couple wendell their way
to the hotel, says the Cleveland Post
Dispatch.
There they waited and waited for
the trunk, which never came. Finally,
the husband proceeded to the railway
station and stated his trouble. The
officials were sorry, but they could do
nothing. Just about that time his eye
caught sight of the missing baggage.
He told the railway men so. They
were very sorry again, but the claim
ant would have to identify the prop
erty in a manner entirely satisfac-
tory to the officials. The claimant re-
marked that he had the key in his
pocket. Wasn't that proof enough
The officials shook their heads. There
were keys and keys. A key didn't sig
nifty much. What was in the trunk? ?
The husband asked them to wait
a moment while he sent a messenger
for his wife. She would know the con-
tents to the uttermost piece.
The lady soon appeared and the hus-
band stated the case to her and tossed
the key to the waiting officials.
Tell these gentlemen what is in our
trunk, my DEAR" he said.
"In our trunk?" she echoed.
Eyes, my dear. You can tell just
exactly what's in it because you
packed it."
"Of course I cam" she cried. LET
me see. Why, there's-there's," her
face frightened, there's my best
hail"
And even the sober Canadians
cracked a frosty smile at this remark
able example of accurate description.

WHY He PAINTS HIS FACE.
Reasons for n Time-HOnOred Custom
That Is Prevalent Among
the Indians.

Every paint mark on the Indian face
is a sign with definite meaning which
other Indians may read. When an In
dian puts on his full war paint he decks
himself not only with his own individ'
ual honors and distinctions won by his
own bravery, but also with the spe'
cial honors of his family or tribe. He
may possess one mark of distinction
only or many; in fact, he may be sc
well off in this respect that, like somt
English nobleman, he IS able to dol
a new distinction for every occasion
Sometimes he will wear all his honors
at one time, says Pearson's Magazine
Among the Indian tribes is one des'
ignated by the symbol of the dogfsh
painted in red on the face. The vari'
Gus parts of the fish are scattered
heterogeneously on the surface of the
face; the peculiarly long snout is
painted on the forehead. the gills are
represented by two curved lines be-
low the eyes, while the tail is shown
as cut in two and hanging from either
nostril. When only one or two parts
of an animal are painted on mans
face 1t is an indication Of inferiority;
when the whole animal appears even
though in many oddly assorted parts,
the sign is one of great value and indi-
Gates a high rank.
Very peculiar are some of the hon
orable symbols painted on the Indians
faces. There are fish. flesh and fowl
of all kinds-dogsalmon, devilfish
starfsh, woodpeckers, eagles, ravens
wolves, bears, sea lions and sea mon
sters, mosquitoes, frogs, mountain
goats, and all manner of foot, claw or
beak marks-each with a special mean
ing of its own.

Living I'm Ruta.

1t is very necessary to be on the
watch that life be not narrowed and
limited in it's powers through the
daily repetition of the same acts in
the same way. A man who thinks
and does the same things over and
over again day after day and year aft
er year is in danger of becoming sim
ply an automatic machine. The dan
ger is, that the thoughts will become
cramped and that prejudices will
spring up against everybody outside
of the rut in which he lives. If con-
tinued long enough, these, prejudices
become so strong that it seems i'm
possible to eradicate them. This is
one of the great dangers to the sim
ner. The wicked habit is a rut which
gets deeper and deeper every time
the wrong deed is performed. Christ
lifts the sinner out of the rut and
puts him on the broad highway OF
holiness.-Christian Work.

Pretty japanese story.

One of the prettiest of all the stories
relating to mirrors is that which comes
from the far east In this a man
brings as a gift to his wife mirror of
silvered bronze. Then she, having seen
nothing of the kind before, asks in the
innocence of her heart whose was the
pretty face smiling back at her. And
when, laughing, he tells her it is none
other than her own. she wonders still
more. but is ashamed to ask further
questions. But when at last her time
comes to die she calls her little daugh-
ter and gives her the treasure she has
long kept hidden away as a sacred
thing. telling her: After l am dead
Won must look in this mirror morning
and evening, and you will see me. Do
not grieve." SO when the mother is
dead the girl, who much resembles her,
looks in the mirror day by day, think
Ing she there talks face to face with the
dead woman, and never guessing it is
but her own shadow she sees. And it
is added, by the old japanese narrator,
that when the girls father learned the
meaning of this strange conduct of
hers, che thinking it to be very pit
eous thing, his eyes grew dark with
tears."--Troy Times.

times he didn't go on spree for a
whole month, but the attacks were
growing more frequent. He seemed to
be losing his will power.
"My friend" said the doctor, you
lon't need a pledge. l see in you VIC
tim of good comradeship. You are far
from being an ordinary drunkard. If
you signed a temperance pledge and
broke it-as you undoubtedly would
dot would still further degrade you
in your own eyes. / do not advise the
pledge"
The man looked dumfounded.
"But what am / to do?" he gasped
The doctor drew a card from his desk
and rapidly wrote a few lines.
There" he said. read that"
This is what the man read:
ITO my friends: I find I am becoming
a victim of the liquor habit. If 1 do not
quit I am sure to lose my position and
ruin myself. For Gods sake. don't ask
me to take a drink with you" .
There" said DR.. Brown, sign that
and will sign it as witness. All
ask of you is to show the card when
temptation is at your elbow, and if you
fall come here and tell me about it.
There! Good night"
1t was a full month before the man
returned, worried and detected.
81 expected you long before this"
said the doctor, as he greeted the stran-
ger. Tell me about it. Did you show
The card?"
Yes" replied the man. "The first
/ time was the very night after l called
on you. A good friend, railroad man,
came into the office and after I had
checked up his accounts said:
"'Come, Charlie, let's 60 over to the
Oyster house and have drink Well,
sir, was reaching for my hat when
remembered the card. l took it out
and handed it to him. l thought he
would never finish reading it. He
looked at me and he looked at TIE card.
And then he slowly put his arm down
on the counter and said Charlie, I'd
sooner cut that hand off than ask you
to drink again Well, sir, l showed
that card several times after that, and
every blessed man ! showed it to took
it seriously. Sometimes they said:
All right, old boy Sometimes they
laid it down without word. And then
it was last night forgot about it,
and here I am"
you are doing WELL" said the doc
tor. Have courage and try and make
the interval a little longer next time
1t was three months before the man
came back The next time it was six
months.
"And now" said the doctor to the
narrator, it is nearly two years since
his last call, and l have every reason to
believe that he will not find it neces-
sary to come to me again. So, you see,
I was quite right. 1t wasn't a pledge
that he needed - "a VtsL-

Growth of Our Nails.

Finger nails and toe nails, being
merely fattened growths of the same
kind of cells that the hairs are made
of, increase in about the same way,
though their rate of progress has not
been so carefully studied. Some say
that the finger nails grow at the rate
of one-thirtieth of An inch a week.
Bean estimates that it takes 20 weeks
to restore thumb nail, and 90 weeks
to restore a toe nail. l don't believe
that. Once when l was about 16, and
had less sense than most boys of that
age, bought a pair of boots too short
for me. 1 wore them, though they
hurt me like sixty, and the first thing
I knew the nails of my great toes
came off. Well, know that it didn't
take any 90 weeks to make them good
as new. Why, 90 weeks is two years,
lacking not quite two months. Don't

Frenchman should presume to give an
Englishman a lesson in civility.
