The following story is related of the
power of the late Gen. Cassius VI. Clay
as an orator:
y man was being tried for murder, and
ha case looked hopeless He had, with
0ut seeming pr0yocatiDn. murdered
neghbnr IN cold blood. Not lawyer in
town would touch the ease. 1t looked
bad enough 10 ruin the reputation Of any
harrIstpr.
Tho man appealed to Mr.. Clay To take
the ease. Everyone thought Clay would
certainly refuse. But when the celebrat-
ed lawyer looked into the matter his
lighting blood was reused and, to the sur
prise Of all, he accepted.
Then came "A trial the like Of which
has seldom been seen Clay slowly car
rIcd on the case. and it looked hopeless.
The only ground Of defense the prisoner
had was that the murdered man had
looked M him with such fierce muir
dcrUus look that out of self-defeuSe he
had struck first. a ripple passed through
the jury NJ this evidence.
The time came for Clay to make his
defense. II was settled in the minds of
the spectators that the man was guilty ~
murder in the first degree. Clay calmly
proceeded and laid the proof before them
in q mastery way. Then. just as he was
about to conclude, he played his LAST

there may be-. Please believe from the
start that there is a lot of good human
nesh and blood in her, and that all flesh
and blood has limitations from the spir-
ltual standpoint And don't say again
that she is beginning to neglect you-no
longer loves you, and so on. Why did
YOU say 1t? Let me refer to your letter
Oh! She hand't written for two weeks,

My dear girls, she may have had some
thng-or some person ives, don't squirm =

Doesn't It occur to you that her life is
he: own, and not yours? And more. that
i never can be yours? One side of ii can
be yours. Keep to your own place, and
don't jostle! Nobody's life was made
for, you. If you try to get all around
Helena, you will suddenly find yourself
pushed out of the circle of her existence
altogether. 1t was intended by Provi-
dence that she should touch any number
of lives besides yours. But the little arc
of her circle that is yours can be yours

MUIR cures take care OF themselves. Let
her have all that comes to her without
pouting and pushing, and you'll get your
full share.
Suppose it is true that she doesn't love
You as she did? Don't cry and call me
cruel 1t may be true, if you allow it to
be. Don't allow it. Go to work and win
her again. You will never keep any love
without winning it all over again every
day. BE sure of that It's the game !;
it's where the fun comes in. If YOU cry,
you're out Of it. Laugh, and rush right
in again. If you're hurt, don't let any
one know; go right on for the next
innings. You see. friendship is like
everything else in the world. It's given
you; oh. yes! But your part is to keep
it. And if you want to keep it you'll
adjust yourself to every new phase of
your friends life If you want to lose
it, you'll be jealous and exigeante. and
You'll sigh and lament, and suspect

Housekeeping.
Mistake of Women Who Are Always
Fighting Dust.


The truest homes are often in houses
not especially we'll kept. where the com
fort and happiness of the inmates, rather
than extreme tidiness and the preserya-
ton of the furniture, is first consulted.
The object of the home is to be the
center, the pivot on which the family life
turns, The first requisite is to make it
So attractive that none of its members
shall care to linger long outside its
limits All legitimate means should be
employed To this end and no effort spared
that can contribute TO this purpose.
There are many houses called homes,
kept with such waXy neatness by pains
taking, anxious women, that are SO OPP
pressivc in their nicely as to exclude all
home feeling from their spotless pre-
Cncts. The very name of home is
synonymous with personal freedom and
relaxation from care; solid comfort
But neither of these can be felt where
such n mania for external cleanliness per-
vades the household as tn render every
thing else Subservient thereto Many
housewives, If they see a speck on floor
or wall, or bit of thread or paper on
the floor, rush at ii as If it were the
seed of pestlence, which must be re-
moved on the instant. Their temper de-
Ponds upon their maintenance Of perfect
purity and order. If there be any failure
on their part or any combination of cir
cumstanees against them, they fall into
pathetic despair and can hardly he
lifted out. They do not see that cheer
fitness is more needed to home than all
the sp0tlesSness that ever shoDe. Their
disposition - wage war upon macuate-
ness of any sort increases until they be-
come slaves of the broom and the dust
pan. Neatness is one thing and a state
of perpetual housekeeping quite an
other.
Out of this grows by degrees the feel
ing that certain things and apartments
are too good for daily use. Hence, chairs
and sofas are covered and rooms shut
up. save for special occasions, when they
are permitted to reveal their violated
sacrcdness in a manner that mars every
prctenSe of hospitality. Nothing should
be bought which is considered too fine
for the fullest domestic appropriation.
Far better iS the plainest furniture on
which the children can climb than satin
and damask which must be viewed with
reverence. When anything is reserved
or secluded. to Disguise the fnct is pX-
trcmey difficult. A chilly air wraps it

Halloween Tricks and Charms.

Roasting nuts before the fire is a ia
vorite charm. a large nut with smaller
ones on either side are placed before the
fire, named, and the owner chants;
Turn, turn, writhe and burn,
Show me thus my fate.
Which to love, which to spurn,
Which to fear. which to hate
Which will be my mate.
The tickle one will burst open and
jump away. If two burn brightly to-
gether that means certain happiness. Ii
one chars without blazing it signifies dis
appointment in love or widowhoOd.
Bobbing for apples is much eli j0yed by
the younger members of the company
Have a tub and plenty of towels and
aprons on hand. The apples are marked
with a knife, named, and the boys and
girls try to catch certain apples with
their teeth, having their arms tied behind
them.
The taper charm is made by fitting
tapers into halves of English walnut
shells, lighting them and setting them
atloat, naming them. of course. to see
if they will float together or separately.
Pairing apples and throwing the pairing
over the shoulder to form the initial Of
ones future husband or wife viii always
be a favorite test.
The three dishes is another Of the old
time charms. Have three dishes. one
empty. one filled with clear water. one
with muddy. The candidate is blind
folded. the dishes shifted about and the
finger circles three times over the dish be
fore descending upon it. The empty dish
means no marriage. the clear water Il
happy one and the muddy a troubled one,
These are the old, old charms which our
great grandmothers tried before US.
There are some modern ones equally as
interesting. The fagot charm is an in
tercsting one. Have some one dressed in
white with features concealed, stand
with bundle of fagots concealed Fas-
tened in each fagot is an article
which tells some of the characteristics
of the future husband or wife. The
guest draws the fagot biindfolded. For
instance. a small bottle will indicate 4
physician, a bit of goods with a needle.
n tailor. book. an author, roll Of
music, musician, etc.
The Halloween pie can take the place
Of the lucky cake. containing a penn.
ring and thimbe. For the pie Aayo a
tub filed with sawdust and allow each
guest to take n spoonful. In the pie
bury little rolls Of stiff paper. containing
verses describing ones future mate. Or
tie small objects Indicative Of ones fu-
ture fate to ribbons or strings, and let
each guest phil n ribbon.
\ fake supper. q ghost party. q barn
dance. a haywaEon ride, any of these are
suitable for Halloween entertainments
