it, just as we know that the earth
which smiles with flowers is full
of dead mems bones; but there is
no need of rafting these bones
continually before the community.
It is no benefit to anybody, and it
does not certainly benefit the bones
aforesaid.
1t has been divinely appointed
that through the decay Of his body
the soul of man shall attain it's full
perfection of strength and glory;
and if we saw it as we should see
it, there would be nothing to mourn
over any more than there is when
we plant the corruptible grain of
corn in order to raise the strong
and beautiful plant which yields
us corn a hundred-fold.
A cheerful spirit is a blessing;
it is perfect bonanza in neigh
borhood; it is worth more than all
the anti-bilious pills in the world,
and if it could be bought with
money, there would be none of it
left in the market twenty-four
hours after it was advertised.

STORYETTES.

General De Wet, the "Ubiqui-
tous" as Lord Roberts nicknamed
him, has keen sense of humor.
When a company of his troops
brought in some members of
FACETS Horse Guards one day he
asked what the P. H. on their uni
forms meant and suggested 'Per-
fectly Harmless. The latest
story of De Vets wit is making
even London laugh, sore and ex-
asperated as the people are over
his successes. He captured three
British scouts recently and told
them he would liberate them if
they would convey an important
dispatch to General Rumble. When
that officer opened the letter he
read: "Dear Sir-Please chain up
these fellows. I catch them every
day. Yours, DE WET" Elk.

The people who are always in
the dumps are the people you want
to steer clear Of all the way along.
Their leprosy of unhappines is
contagious; their atmosphere is
depressing; there is malaria in it.
Let them alone, let them groan it

no use for you to try to brighten

heaven. They would find fault
with something, and think that

How many people are always
looking on the dark side of life
They live in continual anticipation
and expectation of something evil
to come. They are unhappy look
ing for it, and they are unhappy
if it does not come as they expected
You can't suit them anyhow. If
today is lovely day they don't

will storm tomorrow. They could
mt be comfortable if they were not
making themselves and everybody
around them unhappy. They fail
to see the brightness in the sun
shine or smell the perfume of the
flowers, because the sun is liable
to be clouded, and the flowers will
die. They sigh when they hear
young people laugh, and groan in
bitterness of spirit over youthful
levity and wonder how a race of
dying, judgment-bou creatures
can dare spend their time in such
idle frivolity; but when you get

For Is years Squire Quigg held
the Office of justice of the peace in
Doniphan county and in the early
part Of his administration he held
the idea that justice had as much
jurisdiction as a district court.
Once shooting scrape occurred in
the township, and the culprit was
brought before the squire for pre-
liminary examination. After lis
tening to the arguments the squire
ordered the prisoner to stand up.
He then said, "Mr. Prisoner, it is
the sentence of this court that you
be hanged by the neck until dead,
dead, dead" Turning to the con-
stable the squire said: "Take this
prisoner outside and hang him to
the tree in the yard. There is a
rope halter in my buggy"
The constable made move for
the prisoner, and then the squire,
taking second thought, said: "Mr.

not hang the prisoner until we see
