week he was much larger.
So he continued feeding the gosling,
and the gosling became a goose and
still kept on growing.
81 shall have to ask some of my
friends to dinner the day we kill the
goose" said the man to his wife, for
we can never eat all Of this fowl
alone"
And yet the goose grew, and the man
decided to invite all of his friends and
all Of his neighbors' friends to the
meal.
When the day finally arrived for the
dinner, the goose was larger than the
man, but the man went out with a
hatchet to chop his head off.
"What are you going to do with that
hatchet" asked the goose.
81 am going to kill you and serve
you mt big dinner"
"Oh. you are, are you?" cried the
goose. "Well, guess not. | want a

WISDOM OF KING SOLOMON.
How He ExempIified It In the Pres
ence of the Queen of Sheba.

How He ExempIified It In the Pres
ence Of the Queen of Sheba.
Here Is the legend Of the visit of
the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon"
said the Pascagoula Diogenes In the
rotunda Of the Great Southern Hotel
Gulfport, Sunday. 1.-THE queen reign
ed over a people that lived on the bor-
der Of the Red Sea, who were the rich
est in Arabia. They were represented
as leading an idle life. owing to the
abundance of natural produce of their
country, which afforded the sustenance
of life and also frankincense, myrrh
cinnamon and balsam that gave them
an extensive commerce with other ma
tions.
1.-The queen. owing to the splendid
reputation of King Solomon, whose
power and wisdom had spread to the
remotest parts Of the world, visited
him at his own court. Presenting her
self at the foot of his throne, In each
Of her hands she held q wreath of flow
ers-one composed Of natural, the 9TH
er artificial. Art in the labor Of the
mimic wreath had exquisitely emulated
the lively hues Of nature, so that at
the distance it was held by the queen
to exercise the sagacity Of the mon
arch for his judgment it was deemed
impossible for him to decide which
wreath was the production Of nature
and which the work Of art. Solomon
was for a moment perplexed, yet to be
vanquished by a woman irritated his
pride.
"An expedient presented itself to the
king by a swarm Of bees on the out
side Of a window, which he ordered
opened. The bees rushed into the court
and alighted on one Of the wreaths,
while not a single one fixed on the
other Sheba was baff1ed and was con-
vinced Of the wisdom Of Solomon.
Such Is the story handed down that
the bee only rests on the natural beau
ties and never fixes on the painted
flowers, however ininitable the color
may be laid on."-New Orleans Times
Democrat.

FAT AND LEAN CATs.-James Wilson,
the secretary Of agriculture, has wit OF
a dry sort, which makes him one of
the most popular cabinet members,
says the Philadelphia Press.
Shortly after he assumed charge of
his important department, Mr.. Wilson
made some changes in his Office. Sen
ators and congressman came to protest,
but all to no avail, because the secre-
tary felt that what he was doing was
in the interest of the public service.
Finally one of the employees whose
transfer had been ordered called upon
the secretary. He said:
MI. Secretary. l am afraid that if
you dispense with any more of our men
it will impair the efficiency of this de-
partment. I consider it my duty to say
this to you and get your views"
For answer the Secretary looked up
at the ceiling and said:
There was once a farmer in Iowa
who had three fat cats. His barn was
overrun with mice. One day he gave
the three fat cats away and got one
new cat-not so fat. He was never
troubled with mice after that

NO USE TO WHINE.
A Truly Medical View Of Very Dis.
agreeable Trait.


There isn't anything more disagree
able in the world than a whining per-
son. He whines If it is hot. He whines
If it is cold. He whines at this and he
whines at that, he whines at every
thing. Whine, whine, whine. 1t Is
Just a habit he has fallen into. There
is nothing the matter with him. 1t Is
just habit.
The wilmer is generally an idle per-
son or a lazy one. What he needs is
to be set to work, mental or physical
Some work that will interest him and
engage his whole attention, and he will
not have time to whine. We know two
women. One Of them does her own
housework and takes care Of her horse
besides. She is happy and singing all
the day long. The keyboard Of her
life sounds no whining note. 1t is
pleasure to be with her-a good whole
some tonic to watch her. The other
woman Is so situated that she does
not have to work. Nothing to do but
to amuse herself. She has no zest In
life, no interest in anything. She is a
bunch Of selfishness and whines at ev-
erything. Whining has become such
a habit with her that her most casual
remark is tinged with a whine. She is
miserable herself and makes everybody
else in her presence miserable. She
is weakling, a parasite, a drag, a
heavy weight on somebody all the
time.
Get the whine out Of your voice or II
will stop the development and growth
of your body. 1t will narrow and
shrink your mind. 1t will drive away
your friends; it will make you unpop-
ular. Quit your whining; brace up;
go to work; be something; stand fol
something; fill your place in the uni
verse. Instead of whining around, ex-
citing only pity and contempt, face
about and make something Of yourself
Reach up to the statute of a strong
ennobling manhood, to the beauty and
strength of superb womanhood.
There is nothing the matter with
you. Just quit your whining and go to
work-Medical Talk.

hard at mis- interrupter, he inquired
amid a breathless silence:
Were you employed in my Glas-

Yes, was" retorted the other, def

She began slowly to close the door,
but the peddler displayed one of his
brooms-a gorgeous, wide-spreadlns
one with a vanished handle and bound
with green plush.
Just a pair of old Shoes" pleaded
the peddler.
"Wait moment" said the woman
and closed the door, carefully putting
the catch on. Then she went upstairs
and rummaged through some closets
and at last found a pair Of old Shoes
which she brought down and offered
to the peddler.
They're badly worn," he said.
"Of course they are" said the wo-
man, brislkly. "If they weren't I'd wear
them myself. Do you want to trade me
a broom for them?"
The man smiled mournfully, and pro-
ducing a whisk broom, said: It'll let
YOU have this for them shoes and 10
cents"
Certainly not" said the woman.
"Give 'em to me-"
Haven't you any others?" asked the
peddler.

The peddler examined the shoes
again. Then he said: "Well, I'll give

"I won't do it," said the woman.
"Give me back the shoes"
