A girl may think there is no harm in an innocent Irritation, but if she could hear what the men say about her after flirting with her, she would soon quit it. If man is given an opportunity to think evil, it may always be depended upon that he will think if.

A LESSON IN LIFE.

Let us scatter the sunshine around us. Casting smiles instead of frown; Think the same of jeans coat and trousers, As we do of the broadcloth in town. Teaching little ones to respect honor Regardless of wealth or of fame, And to deal with the one who wears cottor This beautiful world Jesus gave us Yes, gave for one and for all. He planted sweet flowers uponit, And trees, some are low and so ne tall. But the woodman neer asks for the tallest Unless it is soundest and best; But preferth the small one if better Though the tallest be glossest dressed. He gave each a place in this garden, He assigned some duty to all; Some live in ease and comfort
 While others taste of life's gall; But the wealthy are never contended, They long and they weep and are tired; Their lot to them seems the hardest The beautiful earth can provide. But at last comes the angel of promise, He cares not for wrath or for fame; He comes to the poor and the needy. The mansions and cabins the same He gathersrich jewels for heaven Regardless of station or fame, For the heart of the rich and the poor man If pure is regarded the same For Gods no respecter of persons, He tells in that good book of life. He loves all His children if worthy
 Though some have to toll and to strive; Then to the old coat torn and dusty Cast pitiful glances of love, For the heart that beats meath it's bosom You may meet in that city above.

THE Boone Banner erroneously speaks of Green Forest as two towns-old town and new town. The incorporation includes all of section 4 and the east half of section 5, the exact geograph- ical center of which is in Main Street opposite the postoffice. From this part the most ex- treme limit of the town is but slightly over one half mile in any direction. Since all effort at town building is within the incor- poration, and since the town is building up uniformly in all di- rections, it is misleading to speak of Green Forest as sold town" and thew town" notwithstanding the fact that an effort is being put forth to establish another busi- ness center.

WE like to see man take a keen pride in surroundings of the home in which he lives. It matters not whether it be a one- story or a S5 ,0O0 residence. The humble home may be made at tractive and pleasing every way to look at just as we'll as the more expensive structure. A well kept piece of lawn, few flowers, vines to cover bare corners and porches, fences in repair, and house painted, little work and a little good taste would work a complete change on the en- vironment of many home.

Admired His Frankness.

The late Senator Gear, if lowe, had one
characteristic that is not peculiar to the
politician; he was notably frank and out
spoken on all occasions and never endeav-
ored to conceal by deception his short
coming, says the Chicago Chronicle. SEN
ator Dolliver recently recalled an in
stance in which the exhibition of this
trait worked to Mr.. Gears advantage.
Gear was a candidate for Congress. The
prohibition sentiment was running high
is district and the temperance people
t-.- uded to put the candidate through an
examination. They held a meeting to
which they invited Mr.. Gear. He accept
ed The chairman of the meeting was a
Quaker.
I'VE learn" said the Quaker to Mr.
Gear, that thee dost not belong to any
temperance society, and that thee dost
take drink when it pleases thee?"
That is true replied Mr.. Gear with
out any hesitation.
Thee art very frank" said the
Quaker, land thy frankness is more to
be commended than thy habits. We do
not think thee ought to drink, but if thou
hadst lied to us we would not have sup
ported thee. Thee wilt now receive our
votes"
And Mr.. Gear did get their votes. He
never forgot the incident and its moral.

When I approached the painted house,
on my way homeward, the fat old collie
comes running out again, barking, says
Bradford Torrey in the May Atlantic.
This time, however, he takes but one sniff.
He has made a mistake, and realizes it
at once. "Oh, excuse me-" he says quite
plainly. Il didn't recognize you. You're
the same old codger. L ought to have
known And he is SO confused and
ashamed that he runs away without
waiting to make up.
1T is a great modification to gentle
manly dog to find himself at fault in this
way. L remember another collie, much
younger than this one, with whom 1 once
had minute or two of friendly inter-
course. Then, months afterWard, l went
again by the house where he lived, and
he came dashing out with all fierceness.
as if he would rend me to pieces. L let
him come There was nothing else to do,
or nothing else worth DOING but the in
stant his nose struck me he saw his error.
Then, in a flash, he dropped fiat on the
ground and literally licked my shoes.
There was no attitude abject enough to
express the depth of his humiliation. And
then, like the dog of this morning, he
jumped up and ran with all speed back to
his doorstep.
