An old Scotsman had imbibed 90
much Of the doctrine that music in
church was sinful that when she
came to this country she refused 10
subscribe to the general sentiment
in favor of the choir singing. etc.
She scowled one day in her own
church when the congregation took
up an anthem that was sacred rather
deliberately and complained to her
pew neigbbor Of the foothold the
devil was getting even in the SER
vice of God.
But" protested her neighbor.
that anthem is very old and very
sacred. Why, David sang 1t before

A Maori Leaend.

The Maoris believed in the i'm
mortality of the soul long before
the arrival of the missionaries, but
the spiritland to which they i'm
agined all men journeyed after
death was as grossly material as
the ''happy hunting grounds" Of
the North American Indians. Such
a legend as the following, which
contains an instance of singularly
determined parental interference, is
sufficient evidence of this: A young
chief of high rank fell in love with
a Maori maiden of great beauty,
but of low degree. His father "for-
babe the banns," thereupon the
usual results followed. The young
chief refused to eat and died Of
hunger. The beautiful maiden,
heartbroken at the death of her
lover, leaped down from the cliffs
into the sea in order that she might
follow him. Now comes the ex-
traordinary part of the story. The
obdurate father, hearing of the
girls leap into the sea, rushed to
the spot, battleax in hand. Using
terrible language, he declared that
he would prevent the union of the
pair in spiritland, and forthwith
himself leaped down to follow them.

story Of the Pine Tree.

The Mississippi pine tree knows
not what a day may bring forth. On
Saturday morning he may be waving
to and fro IN the breeze, proud of
his growth, in full remembrance of
the storm that he has endured in the
past, says the Lauree Miss Chron-
icle. The crosscut saw at 8 a. m.
strikes him, and in few short min
utes he is cut off and sawed into
logs. Before night he is loaded on
the cars, hauled into the town and
dumped into the pond. On Monday
morning he is dragged out, sawed
into lumber and before night put
into dry kiln. On Thursday he is
taken ont and loaded on the cars.
On Saturday he is in Chicago, and
the following Monday he is being
nailed in some building IN that great
thoroughfare.

A Reflection Upon the Feminine Bump
Of Locality.


Why is il that a woman's bump
of locality Is so much more feebly
developed than a mans? asks the
Baltimore News. Put a man down
on a country road and the proba-
bilities are that he viii find his
way wherever he wishes to 60 with
out having to ask at nearby farm
houses for directions. Instinct
seems to guide him. Put woman
in the same position and she viii
irretrievably lose herself in ten
minutes and have to be sought for
by resolute men for hours before
she is finally brought back to ciyil-
Zation.
Perhaps it is that the weaker
sex is unobserrant. Even in cities
many of its members do not notice
buildings closely enough to permit
them to find their way about, and
certainly they would not notice in
the country the big gum tree that
they pass here or the haw bush
that marks the intersection of the
two roads there. With the sun low
in the west there are numbers of
women who can't tell the points of
the compass, and if they could
would not know in what direction
their homes lay.
When it comes to noting the de-
tails of a costume, few feminines
fail to observe even the tiniest bit
of braid or the smallest bow, but
trees and houses are different and
less interesting things, and so in q
strange town or in the woods the
fair travellers lose themselves in no
time and have to be rescued and set
again upon the path by some one
with a better sense of location than
they can boast.

PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Is DdlIu Saving Precious Lives
After Pronounced Failures
bu Physicians

The months just passed of the pres
ent year have brought bereavement
and dark clouds of sorrow to many
homes in our land. Fathers, mothers,
sisters and brothers have been forever
removed by the grim reaper, death.
The large majority OF such could have
been saved had their friends given
them Paine's Celery Compound, in
stead of the worthless medicines the
sick ones were forced to swallow.
In many families too slayish obedl-
ence to medical dictation kept the true
life-saver from the sick and dying
ones. Past records of marvellous
cures and victories wrought by Paines
Celery Compound were ignored by
medical men; in a word it was un-
professional in their estimation to in
troduce the life-giving Compound.
All! Remorse Is now doing its quiet
but effective work, and those most
closely interested are suffering for
their neglect
VIII you dear reader. allow some
dear relative or friend to pass from life
without making an effort to save the
perishing one by Paine's Celery Com
pound? The virtues and powers of
DR.. Phelps prescription are wondrous-
ly far-reaching and mighty. Even
though your friends have suffered
long, and have come to that point
where the physician is helpless to
save. even then. there is blessed hope
II Paine's Celery Compound is used.
The desperate cases cured in the
past and the number of precious lives
saved. Is the bright, the living proof,
that Paine's Celery Compound makes
