A man may be cool as an icicle un'

danger or excitement; he may pre-
serve an even mind when a ghost
comes into his room at midnight; he
may assume command and act nobly
and well when the ship is sinking:
but let that man, let any man. upset
his inkstand. and he springs to his
feet, makes desperate grasp for the
inkstand. and knocks it halfway
across the table, claws after his pa
pers, and swoops them through the
sable puddle to save them, tears his
white silk handkerchief from his
pocket and mops up the ink with it,
and after he has smeared the table,
his hands, and his trousers with ink,

ders why a man always makes a fool
of himself when he upsets a bottle of
ink. He doesn't know why. Nobody

YOUR MISSION.
abraham Lincoin's Favorite sonx.>

If you cannot on the ocean
Sail among the swiftest fleet.
Rocking on the highest pillows.
You can stand among the sailors.
Anchored yet within the bay.
You cnn lend a hand to help them
AS they dash their boats away.
II you are too weak to journey
Upon the mountain steep and high.
You can stand within the valley
While the multitudes go by.
You can chant in happy measures.
As they slowly pass along;
Though they may forget the singer
They will not forget the song.
II you have not gold or silver
Ever ready to command.
II you cannot toward the needy
Reach an ever-open hand.
You can visit the afflicted.
Ger the erring you can weep.
You can be a true disciple.
Sitting at the Savior's feet.
II you cannot in the conflict
Prove yourself a soldier true.
II where fire and smoke are thickest.
When the battlefield is silent.
You can ro with careful tread.
You can lear away the wounded.
You can cover up the dead.
Do not then stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do;
Fortune is a lazy goddess,
She will never come to you:
Go and toll in any vineyard.
Do not fear to do and dare:
If you want a field of labor,
You can find 1t anywhere.

In letter dated January l. 1900. Mr..
Atkinson says, after five years experience
with Peruna
"I will ever continue to speak q good
word for Peruna. In my rounds as q
travelling man am a walking adver-
fjsen7enf for Peruna and have Induced
many people during the past yesr to
use Peruna with the most salts factory
results. lam still cured of ca fa5rh."
John o. Atkinson,
Box 2Z2, Independence, Mo.
When old age comes on. catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is almost
universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people Pe.,rna is
their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these cases
exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally,
nothing but an effective systemic remedy
could cure them This is exactly what
Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman. giving
full statement of your case and he will be
pleased to give you his valuable advice

There was no getting around that
The Professor in an unusual burst of
confidence told Graham about it. The
lawyer chucklcd and said: you
ought to have come to me first, old
man; I could have told you better"
He was next. 1t happened down
by the edge of the lake. where great
hemlock had fallen and made con-
venient seat. He went through glibly
enough, then not waiting for an ac-
quiescence of which he had no doubt,
slipped an arm about her waist. She
wrenched herself free, leaped to her
feet and turned on him face of hot
indignation. Not trusting herself to
speak. she walked toward the house.
He ran after her and asked shame
facedly: Am | not to have an an
swer?" She glanced at him icily and
replied: You are not worth an an
swer." Graham did not tell the Pro-
fessor about this. but paid his bill
and went back to the city that even
ing.
1t is not believed that George Tre-
vanion would have asked her to marry
him il his misery had not forced him
to speak. He told her that he was not
good enough for her; that 1t was not
meant for such as he to win and wear
so bright jewel; that he would not
have spoken at all but that he wanted
her to know that he loved her very
dearly and would always love her.

George. land l have never expected
that you could care for me, but such

She was tender and compassionate
with him. She gave him her hand
and told him that she esteemed him
proud to be his wife. you will find
some one better suited to you and
who will care for you" she added.
Il know that you will; shall pray
that you Will" There were tears in
her gray eyes.
Claude Mayne Delay debated long

OF the result. but wanted to do the

As it happened he did not do either
He proposed in verse and left the

TO many women old enough to know
better.
1t was during the last week of Miss
Penrhyn's stay that the professor pro-
posed in form. He had invited her
into the small, stuffy parlor in which
no one ever sat and there he went
down upon his thin knees. She did
not ask him to rise, or offer to assist
him. He went gallantly through a
lengthy statement of affection and
when he ran out of words at last she
smiled and said:
