In What Month was You
Born!

Here is an old astrological pre-
diction said to indicate, with toler.
able certainty, the character of the
girl according to the month she
happens to be born IN:
If a girl is born IN January, she
! will be prudent housewife, given
to melancholy, but good tempered.
If in February, humane and af-
fecllonate wife and tender mother.
If in March, a frivolous chatter
box, somewhat given to quarreling.
II in April, inconsistent, not in
telligent, but likely to be good
looking.
II in May, handsome and likely
to be happy.
If in June, impetuous, will
marry early and be frivolous.
If in July, passably handsome,
but with a sulky temper.
If IN August, amiable and prac-
teal and likely TO marry rich.
II IN September, discreet, affable
and much liked.
If in October, pretty and coquet-
fish, and likely to be unhappy.
If in November, liberal, kind, of
mild disposition.
Ii in December, we'll proper
toned, fond of novelty and ex-
travagance.

Wise or Otherwise.

Usefulness and awkwardncss
are twins.
The noblest pursuit of woman
Is an honest man.
A blunt man frequently makes
the most cutting remarks.
Proverbs are but the offspring
of practical experience.
Idleness is the rich mans boon
and the poor mans curse.
One-half the world smiles at the
frowns Of the other half.
The man who Is long on words
is apt to be short on deeds.
Many friend in need Is allowed
to remain IN that condition.
1t is difficult for a man to be
honest and selfish at the same time.
Flattcly is the nonsense ladled
out TO people Oy those VINO nave
gold bricks for sale.
The fools who rush in where
angels fear 10 tread are lucky If
they are able to crawl ont again.
Fortune knocks once at every
mans door, but misfortune drops
in frequently without knoc.ing.
MIrlh Is a magnifying glass
through which people look on the
brightest side Of life.
The good tho average man does
NAV he inferred with his bones
x,thout over-crowding his casket.
A true philosopher never argues.
lie mentally concludes his oppo-
uent is . fool and lets it so At that.
A charitable feeling causes some
men when they see . fellow man
in distress to wish some other man
would come along and relieve him.

May, 1901.

The Soldiers IT the Sunny South
Who used to wear the gray
All met At Memphis. Tennessee,
One happy week In May.
Some veterans of the G. A R.,
As spruce as II on drill,
Went down to talk about old times,
As old campaigners will.
SO daring Johnny Lee, who rode
With Stonewall Jackson's band,
And Jimmy Lent, who best the drum
For Sheridan's command.
Str0lled out together, side by side.
To take the evening air,
And walking In the dewy dusk.
Beheld youthful pair.
The maid was graceful, slight and small
Such dainty hands and feet
Could only grow where sunshine makes
The Georgia melons sweet.
Her tall young lovers manly frame,
His firm and springy tread,
His clear blu. eve and ruddy cheek.
New England SHOWS had bred.
He bert to press : lingering kiss
Upon her willing lips;
About his stalwart shoulders stole
Her rosy finger tips.
The south wind bore their tender vows
Upon its balmy breath
s'L0ve. i am thine, and thou art mine "
eyes, dearest, until DEATH"
The two old soldiers paused, at first
Too full OF joy to speak;
A crystal tear came rolling down
Each weather-beatenc cheek.
They shook each other by the hand

Oh. thus our ch,ldren's kisses heal
The wounds our bullets made,
And love has forged wedding ring
OF bay0nct and blade.
The sword IL sheathed forever now
In bridal flowers that blow
On fields Of glory red with blood.
Not many years ago.
So down in Memphis, Tennessee,
One happy week in May,
The veterans Of the North and South
Turned In proud array.
Beneath one bright and starry nag.
Like comrades tried and true
They marched to church and saw the
gray
United the blue.

MISSION OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Deg Nloines, Dec. 6, 19O0.-Editor
Times RepublicanD Dear Sir: Your is
que of Nov. 20 contains an extract
from The very able address of Rev. F..
Winchester Donald. ID. ID, delivered at
the church congress at Providence In
the address the following question and
it's answer is worthy of note: IL Chris
Stian Science leading men out of the
darkness of unbelief into the light of
God? Yes, It is. it Is; there can be no
;doubt about that. You and i know too
many Christian Scientists whose lives
are blameless to doubt that" A recent
number OF the Christian Science senti-
mel says:
he fact that a congress OF the dig
Anity and Importance of the one Under
consideration recognizes Christian Set
sence as a leading factor in modern re-
sligious lif els in itself of vast sgnifi-
canoe. II 1t were the insignificant and
only to-b ridiculed thing that some
would have the world believe it 20 be-
we may be sure that it would not have
20, ilaportant a place in the church
thought. Let us once more assure our
friends of the churches that Christian
Science is not a foe of the church. Run-
ming all thru the addresses delivered on
this occasion there was a vein of adj.
mission that 1t contained truth. Truth
is of God. and whatever Is of God is
surely not foe of the churches. Hence
by the Admission Of those who spoke
against 1t. 1t Is, not foe but friend,
Ii remains for the churches themselves
TO determine whether they shall recog-
.nize itasa helpful .esaugel and welcome
it accordingly. or whether they will to
the extent Of their ability rule ii out
Of tbs Synagogue. The whole trend Of
recent events is i'll the direction Of its
more friendly reception, and one of the
striking evidences of this fact is found
in the events here recorded.
1t ia now an established fact that
Christian Science does heal the. sick.
and reform the sinner, in accordance
with Jesus teachings: and with the
teachings of the bible as whole. 1t is
this healing work of the Christian Sci
ence church which has drawn upon It's
adherents the antagonism and depun-
citation of large percentage of the
clergy and physicians; and Christian
Scientists in the light of the Bible
teachings, are impelled to ask, why ?
From Genesis to Revelation the Bible
is replete with instances of Gods
healing power, and there is not one
sentence in condemnation of SIGH heal
ing. In this same congress Rev Will
liam Il. Huntington, d. d.. of New
York, said: If anything is certain this
is certain: that il the Church of Christ
Catholic, had done itY duty, the Church
of Christ. Scientist, had nor been !.
This Is tacit acknowledgement that the
CHRISTIAN Science church is fulfilling a
part OF Christs teachings which the
orthodox church has sadly neglected,
VIZ, healing the slck thru the under
standing of God as love. Respectfullv.

therefore, why they could not vote.
1T is not thru any lack of interest

of what is or wha is not in party plat

people. claim to be the source OF au-

positicnssa as 10 authority may be main
tanned: ID That it resides in and e,na :.
mates from the ruler. q That it resides
in and emanate' from the people. (3)
That it is of God. The first, he said
VAS the theory of government held by
.despots; he second, that upon which
the United States government had been
established; the third, that which the
