An Old. Fas III toned Woman.

No clever, brilliant thinker, she.
With college record and degree;
She has not known the paths Of fame.
The world has never heard her name:
She walks in old, long-trodden ways.
The valleys Of the yesterdays.
Home is her kingdom. love is her DOVER
She seeks no other wand Of power
TO make home sweet, bring heaven near,
To win smile and wipe a tear,
And do her duty day by day
In her own quiet place and way.
Around her childish hearts are twined.
As round some reverend saint enshrined,
And following hers the childish feet
Are led to ideals true and sweet,
And find all purity and good
In her divinest motherhood.
She keeps her faith unshadowed still
God rules the world in good and i'll:
Men in her creed are brave and true,
And women pure as pearls Of dew.
And life for her is high and grand,
BY work and glad endeavor spanned.

James Liddy Made 1t, Using Buggy

He enjoyed the easy springing motion

Mr.. Liddy used his buggy spring bed

there were cOntemporaneous inventions

Stepped on Literature.

A traveller says that in no other coun-
try has he ever seen such reverence for
literature in every form as exists in
China.
A printed word Is regarded almost as
a sacred thing, and this sometimes
leads to amusing incidents when Chi
nese teacher is dealing with a brisk
American pupil.
This returned traveller spent four
hours a day while in China with ma
tive teacher of the language and one
day. as the two young men were start
ing on a walk together. and the Ameri-
can was about to put on a new pair OF
shoes, he heard Mortified exclamation
from the Chinaman.
"You not put foot on Words he
gasped, pointing to the name and size
marked inside the shoe; and it was a
long time before he recovered from his
amaZement that any one could be 50
lacking in proper respect as. to treat the
symbols of his own language or any
other in such way.

show. too. wife whose sympathy and

script of her husbands books Mrs.
Green contracted writer's cramp. and
was forced to stop using her right hand.
This looked like a final obstacle in the
way of the invalid. who did much Of
his thinking in bed. and could not write
himself. But Mrs. Green set to work
at once learning to write with her left
hand.
One of her first practice pages, which
she was about to destroy with the rest,
her husband took quietly and put in his
pocket. Years afterward, when i'll

Mrs. Green had learned to write with
her left hand he could work on with

Chas. Dana Gibson talks while he
works. His easel stands squarely be-
meath the skylight and as he sat before
it the other day. a picture grew under
his hand while he talked about the
making Of an illustrator Everything
he said was emphasized by the slow
growth of the glorious creature, who
was there to show, from her pretty tilt
ed pOmpadOur to the hem Of the un-
doubted creation she was wearing, that
what the famous illustrator insisted
may be done by skill and hard work
can assuredly be accomplished.
when any one asks me-" said Mr..
Gibson, what to do to become sue
cessful Illustrator, l always assure him
that he has thought about the matter
and doubtless knows far more about it
than I do. for know no rule to follow
to become what one was born to be.
and l certainly know Of none to pre-
vent one from failing at something for
which he has no talent.

will draw; all the discOuragements and
all the bad teachers in the world can

Lightly leaving the student Of illus

ing been born genius. Mr.. Gibson
went on to tell what should be his edu
cation before he begins to study art.
and upon this he put on record an opin.

belief
Il do not think" he said "that the
previous training of a student who be-
gins studying illustrating has much to
do with his career. 1t seems to me
that his actual previous education mat
tiers very little. If he wants to learn,
he will learn. If he does not, he will
