His damnable behavior made me
hot.
You can easy guess what happened
when l asked him for the stuff,
Why--he pungled up the ten upon
the spot.
Old Moneybags was dying, and his
useless, scapegoat son
Was never known to draw sober
breath;
And everybody knew the will would
surely cut him of;
Or otherwise he'd drink himself to
death.
And when the will was opened you
can guess what 1t contained,
For charities and churches-I don't
think;
For it left his whole possessions to
Young Moneybags intact,
And he's never since been known to
take drink.
If you're watchfu as you 40 along
you'll very often see
Bread and butter falling right side
up with care;
1t will often turn out chilly when
you take your overcoat,
And when you leave 1t home the
dayll be fair.
If the thirteenth is on Friday you
will often have good luck.
Many trees grow different from the
twig's incline:
Still waters sometimes run no deeper
than the nolsiest.
Fine birds are often made by
feathers fine.
You will very often gain In speed
by merely making haste,
The cat that leaves you seldom will
come hack;
You will often find deal of smoke,
without spark of fire,
And the shipwrecked youth may
double ON his track;
You're sure Of one thing, and that is of
nothing you are sure;
Wise sayings oft are contra dictions
fiat:
Kind Providence has ordered that the
men who know 1t all
Are frequently found talking
through their hat

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS TELL.

When I came down, as usual, this
morning TO my work
l brought my new umbrella down
all right,
But ] left 1t at the BARRIERS where
stopped to get shave,
And never thought of 1t again till
night.

to pass In cases OF this kind,
You can guess what happened then

He's got a telegram or some such

And thoughtlessly parted with the

He's never known to pay debt; he
lodged me on the street.

WOMAN'S DEVOTION.

Special mention has been made
by General Chaffee Of a nurse in
the Philippines who remained tc
attend two smallpox patients
when she could have returned
home with a good report.
She was only a sympathetic,
noble hearted woman who found
a pleasure in doing this service
for thessick and afflicted-a pro-
totype of hundreds Of others who
live to bless the world and beckon
humanity to a higher plane.
But for the noble self-sacrific-
ing women Of this old world hu-
manity would sink to very low
ebb.
In every age they have been
the ministering angels to whom
the distressed and unfortunate
have turned for encouragement
and relief.
There are innumerable mothers,
wives and sisters in the humble
homes of this broad land whose
lives have been an exemplifica-
ton Of that Christian like spirit
which the lowly Nazarene COM
mended in his followers. They
have never received any mention
in the press for heroic deeds and
for evidences of devotion to a
worthy cause, but have been none
the less faithful in the discharge
Of duty.
The good mother who rears a
family of children knows what it
is to nurse them through sickness
and peril, and the faithful wife is
willing TO sacrifice even her own
health while watching at the bed
side Of the man she loves.
Gods best ard noblest work IS
exemplified in woman's devotion.

BRYAES RISE TO WEALTH.

Bryan when he first began his
political career as a member Of a
congress district in Nebraska was
a struggling young lawyer and
as poor as a church mouse. In
ten years time he has made poll :
ties a business and it has paid
him handsomely, since he is now
worth more than $3.50, 900. We
have never doubted his sincerity
in politics, though he has been
more populist than democrat,
nor do we charge that he has
made his fortune by chicanery,
but we are quite sure that but for
politics Mr.. Bryan would have
been yet a poor man with a wife
and several children "on his
hands," No one begrudges him
the money he has amassed, bat
it is no longer necessary for him
or his friends that he should pose

as poor man. In the meantime
it is to be hoped that he will make
a strenuous effort in aiding to
"get together" a disintegrated
party and thus uniting the de-
mocracy which both he and
Grover Cleveland split in twain
and which has for many years
been living upon mere "husks. "
