Premature Anxiety,

"a long time ago, when trains trav-
eled more slowly than they do now and
way trains were more common, two
high railway officials got on a train at
Philadelphia, intending to ride out
about thirty miles," said an old rail
road conductor. "They had a lot to
say to each other, and the train. which
stopped at every woodpile worried
them a good deal
"a man recently landed got aboard
a few miles out and added to their
annoyance by his persistence in asking
the name of every station that the
train stopped 1t. After they had po-
litely answered his questions for a
dozen stations or so one of them be-
came angry and said ito him.
See here, my friend, if you'll kind
ly tell me where you're going I'll see
that you don't get carried by the
place.

Life's Realities.

The heavy foliage droops in pendent
clusters
Above us as We pass,
The raindrops sparkle like a thousand
lusters
Upon the bending grass.
Beside the hill, where sunlight strives
with shadow
Througout the livelong day,
The path leads on, by vale and hill
and meadow
Toward the churchyard gray.

Dim seen through gathering tears,
And memory comes, a sad silent men
tor,
And points to vanished years,
To hours of youth so bright with
dreams of gladness,
And then that darker scene,
When every change but brought a
deeper sadness
Till death stepped in between,
And hope and joy seemed rent away
forever.
But later days have brought
A faith renewed, a calm and strong
endeavor,
And nobler deed and fought.
For every heart at sorrows first ap-
pearance
Thinks happiness is DER,
Yet learns to bear with patient per-
severance,
The ills it feared before.
So taught by grief life's lesson of
endurance,
We turn to toll again.
Look upward, then, from earth with
calm assurance
And say-not now, but then.

The Old Surf Bath.

1t is not so many years ago when
surf bathing of a very primitive kind
prevailed at the eastern end of Long
Island and, for aught / know, at other
points. Every Saturday morning or
afternoon, as the tide willed, through
out the summer big farm wagons trun-
died down to the beach and We're
swung around abreast of the line of
breakers. Old fishhCuses served the
purpose of modern bathing pavilions,
and the sea costumes were those of
last years village street A long rope
was drawn from under the seats and
hftched to the wheel, and then some
sturdy eX-whaler or life crew man, in
red flannel shirt and old trousers tied
at the ankles, slipped his wrist through
the loop at the end of this primitive
lifeline and, wading out, kept it as taut
as circumstances permitted, while the
women and children hung to it and
reveled and wallowed and shrieked, re-
joicing in their Saturday tub."-Out-

Legs That Hear,

One of the strangest and most un-
expected of the uses to which we could
imagine leg as being put is that of
an organ of hearing. Yet such seems
to be one at least of the functions of
the fore legs in the cricket. On the
outer side of the tibia small oval
space may be seen, in which the strong
armature which covers the rest of the
body is reduced to a thin and mem
branous condition, making thus a sort
of window or drumhead. Commune
eating with this, inside the leg, are the
ends of a nerve, and it can hardly be
doubted therefore that the whole APP
paratus constitutes an auditory organ.

SIGN YOUR LETTERS.
Many People Write Letters and For

Many People Write Letters and For
get the Signature.
"Many people write letters that they
forget to sign" said postoffice clerk
"People come to us every day with
such letters in the hope that they may
be able to trace the writer's. Some
times we can do so, but not often. Of
course only a small percentage of such
letters are brought to our attention, so
the total number must be very large.
IF the name of the writer is on the
envelope or letter head, the lack of a
signature is of less consequence. but it
happens frequently that important let
tiers cannot be traced to the writer's.
"a certain business house in this city
brought in letter one day minus the
signature and containing ten dollar
bill to pay for certain goods ordered.
1t came from a village in the interior
of the state, and it was sent to the
postmaster of the place, with the re-
quest that he ascertain the name of
the writer, if possible. He failed to do
so, and the matter rested for some
time. One day we received letter
from the same town asking us as to
the reliability of the firm to which the
letter had been written, saying that
the writer had sent the firm money for
an order of goods and had received no
reply. 1t turned out to be the person
we were in search of, and the mistake
was explained. But this was an ex-
ceptional case."-Chicago Inter Ocean

The cowboys of Texas know the
Mexican peccary or wild hog. He is

are literally full of long. sharp tusks.
Some OF them are curved, and with
these he can make frightfuI noise
and cut off a mans leg or slash dog
into two pieces at a single snap. He
is a living allegory of courage, audac-
ity and rage. Every inch of his little
body is full of pugnacity and the devil.
