who was here day or two ago. Judge
McCarty and G. C.. Upham met in one
of the court rooms and there was a
controversy about detail in one of the
cases in which both are interested.
Upham, 1t is said, became somewhat
personal and told the judge he was not
truth teller. The judge iutimated
that nobody had ever accused Upham
of the truth successfully, or words to
that effect, whereupon Upham threw
off all restraint.

McCarty.
well, you never did anything for us
when you were on the bench"
Il did as much for you as you de-
served. You and my brother are the
only members of this bar that do not
treat me decently."
Then the pair moved out of hearing.
From this it is OWNED that Mr.. Up
ham would not feel very friendly to
the judge IL he were to become a can
didate, which he probably will not,
having circuit judge aspirations.

PEOPLES QUEER WAYS.

In the extreme north and extreme
south of England some remains can be
traced of the old style of harvest home,
which was usually celebrated during
September. The emblem of it was the
kern-baby, or, as it is called in the
north, the kirn-dolly, a tiny sheaf
made of the last stalks of grain cut,
tied with bright ribbon and carried
home by the harvest queen, to be aft

destination. All the women had prop

take up a desert life were rejected be-
cause of their poverty.

One who has observed the course of
men for many years says that success
in life depends upon staying power.
The reason for failure in most cases
is lack Of perseverance. Men get tired

TO educate is to give the mind that
freedom, that disposition, and those

THOUGHTS or WISE MEN,,

The first thing to~be done in con-
Quoting the understanding Is precise
ly the same as in conducting the body
to give it regular and copious sup
plies of food to prevent atrophy and
marasmus of mind which comes on
Smith.
Without the resolution in your heart
to do good work so long as your right
hands have motion in them, and to do
it whether the issue be that you die
or live, no life worthy the name will
ever be possible to you, while, in once
forming the resolution that your work
is to be we'll done, life is really won,
here and forever.-Ruskin.
The manifest attitude a man can
take, whether he is still rejoicing in
his youth or getting into years, is
that attitude of awe and reverence
which BELTS man confronted by, the
facts of our habitual experience, that
attitude of dedicated will which, for
so much received, pledges the best that
it can give.-John w. Chadwick
We have all seen a literal fire pale

Christian Rossetti:
Every one has the burden of ignor-
ance. which can only be borne with
humility; of weakness, which can only
be lifted by prayer; of sin, which only
repentance and a new heart toward
God can do away; of sorrow, which a
childlike spirit toward the Heavenly
Father can alone bear But we have
also the duty to be strong Bear the
burden, and it will really bear you.-
Henry Wilder Foote.
There is cheerfulness which, even
when things go seriously wrong, can
keep from sinking into mere fret and
worry bitterness. Some people talk of
this as if it were all a matter of tenn
permanent. Of course there are some
to whom it comes easier than to 9TH

apart from that, cheerfulness is a du-
ty, and duty which no one can
weave into settled part of his life
without something of a cross-Brooke

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.

An Improvement on the square wash
cloth in general use is a mitten of
Turkish toWeling large enough to slip
easily off and on, or one knit of rather
coarse Irvine on coarse needles. These
mitten wash cloths may be saturated
with salt water and dried for use in

one quart of alcohol, one ounce each

We frequently hear of explosions of
lamps and coal Oil stoves. A certain
amount of inflammable vapor is given
off from kerosene oil. The lower the
grade of oil the greater the quantity of
vapor. If the reservoir in the lamp or
stove has stood partially filled for
many hours the space that is not filled
with oil may become filed with vapor
When the lamp is lighted a gust of air
may carry the flame down to this in
flammable gas, and an explosion is the
result. The safeguards are: Purchase
the best quality of oil; it is the cheap
est in the. long run; trim and fill the
lamp every day, and do not burn the
lamp until practically all the oil is ex-
hausted. There is also danger of ex-
plosion when the wick is not large
enough to fill the Wick-holder
