The Power of Thought.

Beware of what you think, for what
you think quite as much as what you
do molds your character. Wrong acts
persisted in will wreck any life, but
wrong thoughts have just as sure an
effect. 1t not infrequently happens
that people who live fairly good lives,
so far as their actions go, do not feel it
necessary to set so close guard on
their thoughts. These are hidden, and

To imagine oneself committing wrong

every thought affects the whole being.
AS a mans heart is, so will he be. Evil
thoughts gradually undermine the

They tell a good one on prominent
real estate man of Waurika. Some
time ago he carried prospector over
on Beaver creek to show him a certain
claim. He told the man that it was
an exceptionally fine claim, that the
land did not overflow and that he
would sell it to him for $1,000. The
man looked around and discovered
some red mud way up in tree and
asked the real estate man what caused
that mud in the tree tops if the land
did not overflow. The agent promptly
replied that there was a kind of hog
raised over in the Chickasaw country
which used TO range on the creek and
that they rubbed the mud on the trees.
The prospector took look over the
land, glanced up in the tree again and
told the Waurika man that he wouldn't
take the claim. but he would give him
$4,000 for Il couple of those hogs

The Body and Soul.

1t is an ever increasing pity that the
average doctor who tries to heal the
body cares nothing for the soul. on
the other hand, the parson who tries
to heal the soul cares nothing for the
body. The body and soul cannot be
separated in such a manner The dis
eases that afIlict the body also affect
the soul, and vice versa. No one who is
ignorant of the laws that govern either
the soul or the body is fit TO attempt
to heal the diseases of either the oLe
or the other.
A bad man may preach good SER
mon. 4 bad man may prescribe good
medicine. But both the sermon and
the medicine would have had greatly
increased efficacy had they been de
