SAYINGS OF THE sAeEs.


A laugh is worth a hundred groans
in any market.-Charles Lamb.
Let your first efforts be, not for
wealth. but for independence.-Lytto
Write it in your heart that every
day is the best day of the year
Emerson.
1t is not enough to be Industrious;
so are the ants. What are you indus
trious about?-Thoreau.
We never know a great character
unless there is in ourselves something
congenial to it-Channing.
In the world fill up place which
may be better supplied when l have
made it empty.-Shakespe
What men want is not talent, 1t is
purpose; in other words, not the
power to achieve, but the win to labor.
-Lytton.
Never does a man portray his own
character more vividly than in his
manner of portraying another.-Jean
Paul F. Richter. ffI
There is no policy like politeness,
and a good manner is the best thing
in the world. either to get good name
or to supply the want of it.-Lytton.
Never was a sincere thought utterly
lost. Never a magnanimity fell to the
ground, but there is some heart to
greet and accept it unexpectedly
Emerson.
Let us cherish a sober mind, and
take for granted that in our best per-
formances there are latent many err
rors which in their own time will
come to light.-Gladstone.
l. If we will take the good we find,
asking no questions. we shall have
heaping measures. The great gifts
are not by analysis. Everything good
is on the highway.-Emerson

Old Lady Needed Time to Make Up
Her Mind.

Old Lady Needed Time to Make UP
Her Mind.
A large woman carrying heavy
bundle started to board Broadway
car the other days, says the New York
News The car had been delayed
several minutes by a big truck, and
the conductor was in even more
genial mood than was his wont
The woman laboriously. placed the
bundle on the floor Of the car, grasped
one of the handrails and placed one
foot on the step. Then she paused.
What street is this, conductor"
she asked "Thirty-seyenth street,
madame. Step lively if you are going
with u.s. replied the Metropolitan en-
ploye. in the soft, persuasive tone
affected by his tribe
How far is il to Twenty-seventh'
street?7 continued the old woman.
Ten blocks, madame. For heavens
sake get on or get on" i
Now, don't get smart young man, ="
responded the old woman; your
nickels come easier than mine
don't know whether it's hardly worth
while to spend good money Tor 10
block ride or not, and amt soin to
move until make up my mind"
There was murderous CLEAN in
the conductors eye, and It is hard to
fortell just what would have happened
had not the old woman been COM
PEELED to loosen her hold on the car
just then by a passing dray.
AS the car swept by it was easy to
see from her frantic gesticulations
that she had decided to spend her
money and ride. But 1t was too late.

O. she wished tomorrow would come
when she might live again in the
twentieth century. s.
The searchlIght Of sound steamer
was thrown on the rock, and by it's
light she could see the waves break
and smash about the ragged edges.
Running close to the waters edge,
she looked up and down for a skiff,
one Of the old fat boats she and
Jack so often fished In Finding one
far up on the shore, she dragged it
down to the water and jumped in.
Stroke by stroke she pulled out
toward the big rock but the tide was
strong and the boat heavy. 1t seemed
hours before she came anywhere near
1t.

"Elinor." WAS all Jack said as he
took hold Of the rope with one hand
and hers with the other. The place
was not nearly so rough as it had
looked from distance.
Jump in, she said.
But the night hasn't begun yet"
he replied still standing on the rock.
What" she almost gasped q
thought it must surely be morning
and that it was never going to get

IT'S only 11-and that wasn't late

the shore to see.

Elinor glanced rogulshly at the
young man sitting dejectedly beside
her on the sand at Milton point.
You may have as many minutes
as this sand takes to run through
my fingers" she said taking up a
handful of warm, white sand from
the beach "And then If you con-
tinue to be disagreeable and cross,
I'll-well, never mind, you'll regret
it, Mr., Jack Robinson"
She let the soft sand trickle slowly
through her sun-burned fingers like
a minute glass as she hummed care
lessly, softly, IF / But Knew"
The young man turned impatiently
and looked out across the broad ex-
panse of water How easily the
whitewlnged yachts skinned over
the water. He wished his little craft
of love would run so smoothly.
"Elinor," he said turning to her,
will you stop singing that song?Y
When your present fit of i'll temper
blows over" she retorted, watching
the last few grains Of sand fall from
her fingers. "If l but knew your

See here. what can l do to prove
to you that am sincere?" He
watched her dust the sand from her
pretty palm.
DO? You make me feel like a
princess Of we olden time. Then
brave knights won fair ladies by acts
of courage but now
yes, now?" he said, looking up at
her eagerly.
20, now we don't even take. mans
word for anything" And Elihor
laughed, a merry, captivating laugh,
which chased away the frowns from
Jacks brow. He could never be angry
with her for long.
Suppose we play we are living
800 years ago." she said, after a
minute.
IN play anything you like"
And do anything ! like?" she ask
ed, looking at him obviously. Her
tone was half-serious, half-playful.
Anything" he replied, firmly.
That is provided you'll accept that
as proof that love You. I've said
all can to no avail"
Elinor did not reply nor look up;
she was tracing her name in the sand
thinking. She had tried to believe
Jack, but, somehow, at times, she
doubted that he really meant all he
said
He was such serious sort Of a
fellow, and she-O, she was frivolous
and scatter-brained, according to her
own estimate of herself. Why should

yes, and unless one is a very good
swimmer one cannot possibly get in
until the tide goes out again, If one
is caught out there. 1t would be
awful to stay there all night"
Elinor shivered at the very thought
of it. Should she go on?
"And what then? Who ever stayed
out there all night?" he asked, know
ing well what was coming.
D.. "Why-why, nobody" she hesitated.
would you do it?"

her intently. She was building a
pyramid of sand.

Elinor wished now that he had
promised to do it, that she had not
asked it. Suppose storm should
come up and the waves would dash
over the rock and sweep him on and

might believe you
But Jack would not pass over the
century SO quickly He would do as
she had asked him. he would spend
the night on the big rock and then
she might believe him.
Elinor sat in the window of their
summer cottage ON the shore and
watched the tide come in, wave by
wave. One by one the shadows fell
aad the figure out on the rock became
less and less distinct AT last she
had to go out to the beach to see 1t
at all.
Higher and higher grew the water
mark about the rock and yet the
figure did not move; it sat on the
topmost point, looking out over the
sound.
At last 1t was too dark to see the
figure on the rock and Elinor walked

Remarkable Cures Alleged by Man tS
Whom Scores are Fiocking.

Whom Scores are Flockihg.
A sensation has been caused at
Erin, Tenn, within the last two
months by r. H. Rives, who has a
new method of treating all the ills
of humanity. His method Is some
what after the plan of Weimer of
Nevada Mo- His treatment is by the
rubbing process,
Wonderful stories are related Of
Rives' curative powers. He healed
Robert Parker, who had for two years
been unable to perform manual labor,
as his right arm was In such a condi-
ton from palsy or other cause that
he could not keep It from Jerking all
the time. He was forced to carry it
in sling. and the strongest man
was unable to hold It still and pre-
vent II from Jerking. Parker is now
sound and well, after one treatment.
The very credulous are even say
ing that Rives caused the blind to
see, the deaf to hear, and the lame
to walk. Persons come daily to be
treated, and Rives' residence has been
converted into a hospital. Rives Is
being daily lmportuned to visit the
afflicted in their homes
There is no doubt in the case Of
Parker that before he was treated by
Rives he had to depend upon charity
for the support of himself and family
and that he is now able to do hard
work, such as blowing, chopping and
saving.
