Would Consider the other place.

In a small Missouri town there
lives a good deacon who, despite
bis harsh, hOsrse voice, always
joins vOciierously in the singing
at church. In the same town is a
little boy who has become the
proud p~OSsessor Of a gorgeous
string of profanity, which he is
very fond Of displaying. His
mother, finding her arguments
had no appreciable effect In ex-
purgsting from the youthful vO-
cabulary the Objectionable words,
sent him to the deacon, in whom
she has all confidence, to see il
the latter could not put a stop to
the sweasing habit. That digni-
tary pictured to the boy the beau
ties of heaven in vivid language,
and then told him that those who
take the Lords name in vain can
never enter there. The boy pom
dered a moment.
"What do folks do in heaven,
deacOni" he asked.
"Oh, play harps and sing.'

deacon modestly.

With q solemn mein and an air sedate,
When up az the top Of the golden stair
A shr0udcd figure assembled there,
Applied for admission. He same and stood
Before st. Peter. so great and good.
In hope the city Of peace 20 win,
And asked 81 Peter 20 let him In

ID let me enter The heavenly land.
And play a harp 10 the angel band.
OF me. 81. Peter. there Is nc doubt,
There's nothing from eaven TO bar me out,
I've been 20 meeting three times q week.
And almost always would rise and speak
Eve told the sinners about the'day
When they would repent Of their evil way
I've told my neighbors I've told them al
OF Adam and Eve and the primal fan;
I've talked 70 them loud and I've talked 20
them long.
For my lungs are good and my voice IS strong,
I've marked their Eath OF duty clear,
And laid out the path OF their whole career.
SOL good ST. Peter, youu clearly see
That the gate OF HeaVen Is open to me.
Here's the company's letter OF recommend,
Which 1 hope yOu'l read before you'll send
Forth our guide to the throne Of grace
IL might gain for me a higher place,
You'n find / was always content 10 live
On whatever the company cared to give.
And 1 ought TO get a large reward
For never owning a union card.
I've never grumbled. I've never struck,
I've never mixed with union truck.
But / must be going my way to win,
So open, St. Peter, and let me in"
St Peter sat and strOked his stan,
Despite his high ONCE he had TO laugh.
Said he, with fiery CLEAN 10 his eye,
Who Is tending this gate, sir, you or
I've heard OF you and your GIT OF CAB;
YOu are what Is known on earth as a 'scab.' p
Thereupon he rose In his stature tall
And pressed a button npOn the wai,
And said TO the imp who answered the bell,
Escort this fellow around 20 he'll.
Tell Satan TO give him a seat alone
On a red hot griddle up near the throne.
But, stay, cen the devil can't stand the smel
OF q cooking 'scab' on q griddle Ia hell.

II l sent you Town to the imps below
Go back TO your masters on earth and tell
That they don't even want a 'scab'I IN hell"

Cures
DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION,
AND N TROUBLES.

The tonures and evils Of dyspepsia and
indigestion are experienced by thousands at
this time. The dyspeptc's train Of evils
may be enumerated as follows; feelings Of
dizziness, languor, nervousness, sleeplessness,
headache, distension Of the stomach, loss Of
flesh, difficult breathing, and the action OF the
heart is seriously affected.
All forms Of dyspepsia are quickly banished
by the use Of Paine's Celery Compound.
The use Of this marvellous medicine allays the
inflammation of the nerves centred about the
stomach; it opens up the sewer OF the body
and removes oil waste matteri It cleanses the
blood; It makes new nerve fibre; it restores
digestive power, and promotes bodily strength
and activity. Mr.. Fred. Ross, Clarendon,
Iowa, briefly writes about his happy exPen-
ence with Paine's Celery Compound as
follows;-

EDUCATING OYSTERS.
Training schools In which the Bi-

Training schools In which the Bi-
valves Arc Taught Some sense.
"a school for oysters" said a dealer
would swear could not exist, for oys-
ters are notorious for their stupidity.
II IL, however, fact that there are
many oyster schools. I will explain
them to you In such way that you
will believe In them. An oysters intel
ligence Is limited, but still 1t has intel
ligenra, Years ago certain wise fish
dealers discovered that II you take an
oyster suddenly from its subaqueous
bed II opens its shell, whereupon the
life giving water inside It all escapes
and the oyster dies. But II you ex-
pose an oyster to the air gradually,
lifting II out Of the water for n few
minutes and then returning It again, II
gradually learns that to keep its shell
closed when out Of the water is the
best thing for its health. These inves-
tigators found that they could take two
oysters, one trained and one unframed,
and the trained oyster, keeping Its shell
closed while out Of the water, would
live long time. while the unframed
one, opening Its shell, would die In a
few hours. Therefore training schools
for oysters were established. The
schools are In appearance nothing more
than reservoirs full of water. Oysters
are put in them. and the water Is drain
ed Off and then returned again. 1t is
kept of for few minutes at first, then
for ten minutes. then for half an hour
and 10 on. Oysters in these schools
learn that they will live longest and
keep healtliiest out Of water II they
hold their shells tight shut, As soon as
they learn this they are graduated and
go out into the world."-Philadelphia

School for Nurses.

The Philadelphia School for Nurses
In alliance with the American Red
Cross has undertaken TO train sufficient
number Of young women who shall be
subject to the call OF the Red Cross or
the government for prompt nursing SER
vice In the event OF national calamities
or In case OF war.
Co-incident with this plan an effort
will be made TO carry nursing skill and
hospital knowledge into small towns
and rural districts OF Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Deleware and Maryland, taking
some OF their young women and training
them in this science.
This will secure the requisite number
OF nurses for Red Cross work.
II will give means OF livelihood TO
large numbers OF most excellent aud de-
serving yonng women who have but few
opportunities, and at the same time II
will benefit thousands OF homes by the
spread Of their knowledge.
Every village and township In nearby
States may ultimately he reached and
helped In this way.
The undertaking Involves the ex-
penditure OF large sums Of money, but
wealthy and influential men and women
in the four states named stand ready to
carry the plan TO fruition.
Any young women who aspires to Red
Cross membership or to nursing SER
vice iu any capacity can get full infor-
nation by addressing The Philadelphia
School for Nurses, Witherspoon Build
ing, Philadelphia, Pa.
The movement is designed especially
to benefit young women in small towns
and rural communities.
