AND so THEY WE'RE MARRIED.

If you have read about young Sam Springstead
you have thought about those old days when you
carried lump in your throat and wished you could
die-when you were in love-
Sam was like that. He is Staten Island boy,
and he loved a Is year old girl who beauty
Don't laugh. He stopped smoking cigarettes
and cut down his laundry to one shirt and two col
lars week. because he wanted to marry. And he
worked hard, too. He got Z n week and hoped for
raise They eloped, and she said she wanted her
mamma
t'Be of brave heart" said the young knight.
And SO they were married by a minister and went
to NewYork. Their only baggage was an extra COL
lar for Sam. These lovers spent an entire day at
the Zoo and then went to the theatre. They stuck
to their seats until they were put out, and then
both were close to tears.
Il was afraid to go home because of the old
mans strap" Sam confessed. 81 don't know what
her mother used on her"
They walked miles and the young girl bride
wept copiousy Finally love and desperation put
courage into the Youthful husbands breast, and
they went back home and faced dad" He didn't
use the strap. He choked little and said 81
hope you will be good husband to her, Sam"
And the boy-he is H. and bubbing over with

could do 1t for her sake-sure, could"
Yes, it is unwise for children to we'd. The
minister who tied the knot ought to get down out Of
/ the pulpit and hide his head.
But for the boy who gave up all his bad habits
because of girl and who wants to carry the eartf
for her sake, it's hard to find harshness.
There are so many unloved people in the world
let's magnify the joy in this romance, forget thu
folly of it and hope they will be happy.

Inter-PineS.

Far from the fevered fret of trade and town,
Far from the noontIdes pulsing hum and heat
Past stream and stile up shay slope and down,
A dim path winds
And winding finds
Deep in the pines a clustering retreat
Where ripened cones and needles crisp and brown
Outspread fragrant carpet for the feet.
Like ancient monks, uplifting priestly arms
High overhead in blessings, murmured low,
The pine trees stand aud all life's vain alarms,
It's wild unrest
OF brain and breast,
Speed swiftas blooms when winds of autumn blow
And in their stead, as silence after storms,
Glides gentle Peace with nOseess tread and slow
The cravings keen for all the vain may vaunt
The tense desires for worldly power and place,
Find sweet surcease within this holy haunt
Where, spreading wings
From sOrdid things,
The soul mounts upward for feetng space,
While winds and pines lift grand cathedral chaunt
And meets its God and Maker face to face.

OLD AGE AND OVERRIDING.

Some of the eastern papers have been poking
fun at the anti-tobacco folks, and pointing to a
man named Patterson who recently died in Kalama-
ZOO Mich at the age of 80, having boosted that he
had smoked over 100000 ten cent cigars in his life
time. They also point to Goethe, who drank 20
600 bottles of wine and died at So.
These cases make no precedent. They call at
tention to the fact that some men have been given
such IRON constitutions that they can abuse them
shamefully and survive
But it is the fate of the average human hog to
suffer. If he over-eats, drinks, smokes, exercises,
plays, nature has fixed the penalty
We have in mind man who at the age of 60
boosted that he had never been drunk, though he
had consumed liquor enough to float Tarshp, be-
ginning as boy, and that he had never mad a sick
day i'll his life.
He had two sons one without heath, almost an
invalid a pale, nervous lad, who had already cost
him a small fortune in doctors bills. The other
boy had a better constitution and a wtless brain.
He wasn't a fool-iust nonentity-with no pur-
pose, no ideas-a clod, destined to be less than a
man all the weary days of his life.
1t didn't hurt the father to be human hog,
but those wiser than he point to that sound bit of
Scripture that deals with the visiting of the sins of
the parents on children generation after generation
Natures way is the same way. If you violate a
natural law there is penalty somewhere for some
one. The man who makes beast of himself, and
passes the debt on to the innocent, more than Il
fool. He Is unthinking, criminally careless anc
utterly selfish.
If the world is to continue those that follow us
must have good bodies and keen minds. Humanity
will go up down-it can not stand still.
The man who takes the thought Of posterity
into his daily life will do most for the people of thu
future.

Her New Vocabulary.

She possessed a mind discerning
That was stored and crammed with learning
And her thoughts, forever burning,
She could suitably express.
All her sentences were rounded,
And her words imposing sounded;
| was really quite astounded
AS ! listened, | confess.
But / saw her very lately,
And she did not talk ornately;
All that language sauve and stately
She no longer kept on tap.
She was saying: "Bessums diddums!

In his muZzer's p'eciOus kiddums!"

LIFE SENTENCE FOR A DRUNK.

William Kindt tolerably good fellow when
sober. But he got drunk That means that he was
insane-mad as a rabid dog.
He had done what thousands of men have done
turned joy into tragedy. He went to a Sunday
outing near Chicago filled himself with liquor let
the tiger in him gain control, and then turned on
his brother.
Bill for Gods sake, come home with me- -
pleaded Charles.
The answer was an oath, and then William
Kindt drew a razor and slashed his brother across
the eyes, destroying his sight.
That is how William Kndt became criminal.
Sorry! Agony f!led his breast when he realized
what he had done. He was penitent. He wished
he could give Charles his eyes.
And then there was the mother; William Kindt
couldn't look at her without ache IN his throat
They arrested him. Under ordinary crcum-
stances he would have been Gagged like wild beast
to pay the penalty that society demands for mis-
deeds. But Chicago has wise Judge, who believes
that sometimes there is better penalty than prison
life.
He called the men before him, the sorrowful
William and the blind Charles, and imposed this
strange sentence
William Kindt is to take care of his brother as
long as he lives. He is to provide every comfort
that his means will admit. In the event that VIII
liam marres, his first care must still be Charles
He must read to him, talk to him, lead him, ana as
far possible take the place of the eyes that were
destroyed by the slash of his razor In addition he
must assume the care of his old mother, and b.
good to her III every way he knows how
The blind man and the brother who made him
blind left the court room together.
Some day when you are filling your system
with liquor, and the desire to brawI and smash
things is growing within you, think about William
Kindt's life sentence and the blind brother

Five Things You Cannot Do.

They were sitting in train that rolls out of Broad
station 4O4 every afternoon They grave
elderly men, and you would never think of their dis
coursing anything trivial. But the one with the
gray mustache said:
81 bet you can't extend your third finger straight
while keeping the other fingers of that hand cnched
They were silent for minute. We furtively tried
it also. Then the other man said:
BLAMED queer isn't it?'
"There other things which you can't do
either.
you can't rise from chair without bending for
ward putting your feet under it, If you are sitting
Squarely on it and not on its edge.
You can't crush sound fresh egg, ordinary
hens egg placed lengthwise between your two hands
You can't break match laid across the nail of
your second finger by pressing it with the first and
third fingers of the same hand.
you can't sit quite still for five minutes if you
blndfolded.n
Say, what have you been doing, old man-taking
lessons of Kellar?'
Mo; Jim's home from school. 1 bet he knows
about such stuff than he does about his studies

ONE JUST SOUL, ANYWAY.

1t is not known whether Grand Rapids, Michi-
gan, has the necessary eight just souls that would
have saved Sodom and Gomorrah or not. But it
surely has one.
This man was accustomed on occasions to steal
street car rides When he succeeded he went ont
behind the woodshed (metaphorcally) to laugh with
himself. Recently he was converted and his con-
science made him laugh out of the other side of his
mouth. He figured that he had beaten the conf
pany out of six nckles.
That is to say, he felt like thirty cents
The good old doctrine of restitution got hold of
him and he wrote the following letter to the COM
pany:
Dear Sirs:-I used to steal ride once in a
while when got chance but since l have become
a Christian stopped it, and so far as can remem-
Der ! rode six times for which did not pay. That
bothered my conscience, please find 30 cents in
stamps inclosed My earnest prayer is that God
may help me to be honest, truly honest, after this
Yours truly. A Follower of Christ
You laugh. Read the letter again. Don't you
get the pathos between the lines? There's pay
streak in that letter and it leads to rich vein of
gold in the mans heart
The man means honesty. Is it so rare virtue
that you need to smile2

A DAY In DAEOTAS.
The President Makes a.Dozen
Speeches.
FROM SIOUX FALLS TO ABERDEEN.
A Feature of the Public Greetings
Was the Large Number Of
Children In Che
ThrOnga.

ABERDEEN, S. d., April 7.--Presi-
Gent Roosevelt yesterday trayersed
Bouth Dakota and made more speeches
than on any other day during his pres
ent trip. He began with two speeches
at Sioux Falls in the morning and
ended his twelfth speech last evening
at Aberdeen. The,speeches were con-
fined for the most part to the tariff
and to the general prosperity Of the
country. In all his speeches he fol-
lowed closely the lines Of his former
addresses on these subjects.
The president was accorded a cordial
welcome at the different stopping
places, and at many stations where
the train did not stop crowds gathered
and cheered as the special train sped
by. One feature of the day was the
large number of children in the vari-
Gus audiences, and the president re-
ferred to them several times, saying
that he was glad to see that the stock
was not dying out
The president had as his guests dur
ing the day Senators Kittridge and
Gamble and Representatives Martin
and Burke, the South Dakota delega-
ton in congress. They left the train
at Aberdeen.
At Tulare the president departed
from his usual custom and descending
from his car, shook hands with the
people gathered at the station.
Yankton was the first stop after the
train left Sioux Falls. To the multi
tude at Yankton the president spoke
on the tarlff and the qualities Of good
citizenship, saying;
ut is a real pleasure to see you, and
l can sum up all have to say to you
In just couple Of phrases. You need
wise laws. See that you get them.
You need honest administration Of the
laws. See that you have 1t. But do
not make the mistake Of thinking that
any law or any administration of the
law can take the place of fundamental
qualities that make a good individual
citizenship and make a good nation,
the qualities of honesty, Of courage
and of good common sense"
At Mitchell the president made the
longest address of the day. His audi
ence was large and his speech fire.
quently interrupted by applause.
