I prayed for Fame;

But me it mocked.
I prayed for Health,

And with it heart and hope.
1 prayed for courage
But cruel heartless Fate.
Gave only Fear for what asked
prayed to die,
But awful answer this

LITTLE THINGS FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

Harper's Bazaar of late issue has a
double page of suggestions for little
Christmas mementOes. We CLEAN a
few for those who wish to manufac-
ture their own presents:
A pin cushion in the form of ball
is made on a cardboard foundation,
covered with satin, the shape being
that approved by the small boy when
he wants a new cover for his ball.
Pins are stuck along the seams. The
cardboard my be put in shape like
the sections of an orange, covered
with silk and joined, the pins being
stuck in the seams.
A bachelor g pin cushion" requires
little china doll around whose
waist a large round cushion is fast
ened, 80 that it appears to be stand
ing waist high in a cushion. Any
color of silk can be used and frill
of lace may cover the cushion.
A whisk broom holder requires
two round pieces of cardboard Gov
cred tightly with linen embroidered
in cOlors. The two circles are then
fastened together at opposite points
under ribbon bows. The diameter
of the circle should fit the broom.
Brocade, plain satin, etc., may be
use6 iOstoa6 Of 1inou
A veil roll is made of wadding
filed with satchet powder and rolled
fourteen inches long over it is sewed
watered silk ribbon four and three
fourths inches wide. It is fringed
at each end and tied with narrow
ribbon.
A knitting-bag is simple enough,
but makes a dainty present. A piece
of brooaded silk twenty five by
eighteen inches is lined with plain
silk to match or contrast. The mid
die of each side is fastened to the
ends of the strip turned up to make
the bag. This leaves the sides of
the bag open with holes for the knit
thug needles. Ribbons are run around
the top to draw the bag up, with
little full left for heading
A pretty photograph frame may
be made of a piece of poppy wall
paper, fourteen by twelve inches.
Cut piece to fit photograph into,
mount the whole on cardboard under
glass and bend round the edges with
poppy red binding paper.
A woman who can paint can make
quite unique photograph frame by
outlining a bicycle on water color
paper eight by four and a half
inches and cutting out the
wheels to make places for photo
graphs. A support at the back
makes the frame independent of the
wall
A watch holder consists of two
oblong pieces of cardboard covered
with white linen or white silk or
brocade, fastened together at one of
the shorter sides under ribbon bows,
spread apart at an angle of forty five
degrees and kept there by two pieces
of ribbon. A gilt hook in one piece
holds the watch. If of linen, en-
broider a circle on one half to sur
round the watch when it is hung.
All these trif1es require neat work
manship.

missionary work that is done to-day
is done by invalids who never leave
their bedrooms, or by old people, or
by those who are very poor and
have little of material means to give

thew give to their Lord what is most
preoious in his sight,-a true, yearn-

"Did you caution your son about
keeping good company" someone
asked of a mother whose only son
had gone to a distant city to make
his home.
"No," was the reply, "but talked
to him a great deal about keeping in
fellowship with God. If he does that,
he can't be in bad company"

THE KINDNESS THAT swEETENs LIFE

THE KINDNESS THAT sWEETENs LIFE.
If there is one quality more than
another that we admire in our fell
low beings it is that of kindliness of
spirit-a loving thoughtfulness for
the happiness and comfort of others.
1t is this spirit that sweetens life
and makes it worth the living. 1t
takes an effort to go out of our way
to carry little sunshine to that one
who is sick or in trouble; but let us
remember that it pays.
A beautiful story is told of Wen
dell Phillips, the famous American
orator, illustrating his lover-like de-
votiOn to his invalid wife. At the
close of a lecture engagement in a
neigh boring town his friends en-
treated him not to return TO Boston.
"The last train has left," they
said, ''and you will be obliged TO
take carriage into the city. It is a
sleety November night, cold and
raw and you will have twelve miles
of rough riding before you get
home"
To which he replied: "But at the
other end of them 1 shall find Anne
Phillips -
At the other end of our journey
we shall always find one to whom
our thoughtfulness brings Joy and
comfort.
It sometimes means a sacrifice to
invite to our home our aged friends,
who often long for little love and
attention, prepare them a nice meal
and perhaps read to them for an
hour. But let US remember that
their journey here is almost over,
and when they are gone our tears
will fall for the kind words left un-
said, the good deeds undone.
It takes time TO be patient with
children but shall we not remem Der
that patience and kindness will make
a good man or woman out of almost
any child?
Speak gently 'tis little thing
Dropped in the hearts deep we'll ;
The good, the joy, which it may
bring,
Eternity shall tell.
1t is often hard to say the comfort
ing and helpful word to those we
meet-the struggling, discouraged
ones but
cit will sWeeten your own way,
1t may save some brother man,
As YOU pass along life's road,
To say kind word when you can. "
1t takes time to give the best of
ones self to help make the world
more bright and good, but it pays.
We may not see the smile that
frightened the face and strengthened
the heart when we spoke the kind
word and did the good deed, but the
memory of i. will be ever coming
back in some heart, like a sweet
melody, Frightening dark hours and
cheering the whole of life.
"Not a prayer
"Not an act of faithfulness in your
calling
"Not self-denying or kind word
or deed
EDone out of love for Himself
"Not a WEAKNESS or painfulness
endured patiently
"Not a duty performed
"Not a temptation resisted
"But it enlarges the whole soul
"For the endless capacity of the
love of God. National Rural.

not rich, but 'wel1-to do" he
worked in the fields at the head of
his slaves until age rendered him
unable TO do so. He is said to have
topped all his tobacco when at home.
He had all the pioneers love for
the forest and said that ''no man
should be able to hear his nearest
neighbOr's dog bark" To a city-
bred Congressman he once said /:
What a pity you were raised in
town; else you might have come to
something -
In MacOn's home, however, fine
linen, old wine, silver and cut glass
abounded. He was a horse lover
and, like Washington, very fond of
fox hunting. Once a President of
the Uaited States and several mem.
bers of his cabinet visited Macon in
his Warren county home. The sec-
Ond morning he suggested a horse
back ride, which was agreed to.
But the sedate statesmen almost re-
gretted their decision when, stepping
out, they found half dozen groOms
stripping the requisite number of
fiery and impatient race horses.
Nevertheless, says the old ohroni-
cler, "they took parting look at the
ground and mounted. While they
swept along, as if on wings, their
host held forth on his horses, each
of which had a pedigree as long
and arisbocratic as German barOn's
Their exploits and their ancestors
exploits he proudly reoounted."
This sketch would not be complete
without some mention of Macon's
attachment TO the eccentric John
Randolph, of Roanoke. He once
drew a knife to defend Randolph,
but, as a public duty, removed him
from the craftsmanship of an impor-
tant Congressional committee a few
days later. Inpublic affairs Macon
knew no personal friends, and in
his political of career of fifty seven
years, never recommended any of
his family TO public office.
His speeches, as given in the
"Abridgement of Congressional De-
bates, - from some of which have
quoted, are almost invariably short
and to the point. He was not elo
quent, but his courage, honesty,
and ability made his speeches more
powerful than mere eloquence could
possibly have made them.
CONCLUSION.
Such is a brief outline of the ca
reer of Nathaniel Macon, the upright
man, and true patriot in the best
sense of that much abused term.
There were giants in those days
when the foundations of the repub
lie we're being laid, and the fact that
Macon was for years one of the most
influential members of the law
making branch of the national gov
ernment, holding suooessively the
highest office in the gift of House
and Senate, speaks eloquently enough
as to his craftsmanship. But
though to every trust so faithful
as to have almost deserved the title,
last of the Romans, that Jefferson
gave him, how few North CarUlinians
can now give off hand an accurate out
line of his career If my sketch
shall cause any that read it to study
more carefully the biography and
teachings of this modern Cincinna
tus. shall feel that have not la
bored in vain.

TEN RULES OF PoL1TENEss FOR BOYS

l. To be polite is to have a kind
regard for the feelings and rights of
others.
2. Be as polite to your parents,
brothers, sisters and schoolmates as
you are to strangers.
8. Look people fairly in the eyes
when you speak to them or they
speak to you.
4. Do not bluntly contradict any
one.
5. It is not discourteous to refuse
to do wrong
Whispering, laughing, chewing
gum or eating at lectures, in school
or at places of amusement, is rude
and vulgar.
z Be doubly careful to avoid any
rudeness to strangers, such as call
ing out to them, laughing or making
remarks about them. Do not stare
at visitors.
8. In passing pen, pencil, knife
or pointer, hand the blunt end to-
ward the one who receives it.
9. When a classmate is reciting
do not raise your hand until after
he has finished.
10. When you pass directly in
front of anyone or aocidently annoy
him, say: "Exouse me" and never
fail to say "Thank you" for the
smallest favor. On no account say
s'Thanks. Sacred Heart Review.

WHAT A BOY DID IN SPARE MOMENTS

A thin, awkward boy came to the
residence of a celebrated school prin-
oipal and asked to see the master.
The servant eyed his mean clothes,
and, thinking he looked more like a
beggar than anything else, told him
to go around to the kitchen. He
soon appeared at the back door and
repeated his request.
"YOu want breakfast more like, :"
said the servant girl, and set him
down to some bread and butter.
"Thank you," said the boy, "I
should like to see Mr.. --, if he can
see me. -
"Some old clothes, maybe you
want; 1 guess he has none to spare
he gives away a sight" remarked
the girl, cycling his ragged clothes.
''Can I see Mr.. -?" asked the
boy, with the most emphatic en-
phsis on each word
The girl for the first time stopped
her work. "Well, he is in the library !;
if he must be disturbed, he must, I
s'pose," and she whisked off to the
room, remarking, as she opened the
door: "Here's somebody terribly
anxious to see you, sir; so let
him in"
The professor laid his book aside
and talked with the boy with increas-
ing interest, and soon took down
some books and began to give him
an examination which extended even
to Greek, and every question was
answered correctly and promptly.
The professor was amazed at such
youthful erudition, and asked the
boy how he managed, with his ap-
parent poverty, TO accumulate such
an amount of knowledge.
ooh, studied in my spare time,
answered the boy, brightly, and
with the utmost unconsciOusness
that he was an example to even the
man before him.
Here was a boy, a hard-working
orphan, almost fitted for college in
the spare moments that his compan
ions we're wasting. Truly are spare
moments the "gold, dust of time. =

With all resident members present

nual inspection Thursday night, Sir
Olin Holloway, Of Knightstown, being
the inspector general. The honors of
knighthood were conferred upon A.
r. Clizbe in the usual impressive man.
ner. A very rigid inspection was
given and at the close Sir Holloway
complimented the commandery and
its officers in high terms and assured
them that their standing would be
with the highest in the state. The
Masonic bodies of Plymouth have made
great progress during the year now
closing and they will move into their
new temple under the most favorable
circumstances.

NEW SUBDIVISION
Council Does Little DEMONSTRATING
Matter Goes Over.

When BUrgomaster Jones smote the
table lastWednesday night for the coun
Gil to be in order LawyerLogan stepped
to the front with the first item of public
business, which was the plating into
a subdivision of the Dawes lot recent
ly acquired by Arthur O'Keefe at the
corner of Center and CAIRO streets.
The matter was Gully acted upon and
the O'Keefe subdivision is now an ac-
compliShed fact.
Then appeared D. Frank Redd,
secretary of the Business Mems as
ISOLATION, and represented to the city
fathers that the valuation of the old
Novelty works property for purposes
of taxation stands on the city'S books
just as it was several years ago when
in the heyday of its prosperity, not
withstanding the fact that all the
machinery is gone, the buildings are
dismantled and the value is now less
by many thousands of dollars. Upon
this state of facts it is prayed that
the assessment be corrected so as to
correspond with the conditions on
April l, and that a corresponding re-
reduction be made in the tax now
charged against the property. The
matter was referred to the city at
tOrney to be reported on at the next
meeting. The thing is of importance
just now because in the purchase of
the property for the piano factory it
is necessary that the tax he paid by
the Business Mems association and
the amount charged is grossly out of
proportion to the real value.
Immediately prior to the commence
ment of the meeting the city COM
miSSioners filed with the clerk their
report of property affected by the
North Michigan street paving, with
the benefits and damages thereto.
The council desired to act ON the re-
port at once, but it was found that
the statute stood in the way and the
report had to 90 over to the next
meeting.
