THE CHEEKY WORD.

No man lives unto himself alone,
and no one who mipgles with the
busy world can be content with wrap
ping about ham a cloak of silence
and selfishness and present only a
cold and indifferent aspect to the
world.
The man who is happy is the one
who contributes something even
small each day to the general sum of
human happiness. The following
little poem is worth clipping out, and
may be profifably used as a text for
every day life:
"I mind no small achievements 1 have
won;
These slight fu ailments of my life are
lost,
For when the shadows come and day is
The deeds failed to do they weigh
the most.
l should have reached my hand TO help
friend
Whose heart was stepped in bitterness
and woe;
But Iforgot the CHEEKY word TO send
Across the way the sad one chanced
20 go.
When day is spent and 1 am fancy's
host,
All Slight is the achievement, / have
won,
The deed l diAFis but q passing ghost,
When weighed against the deed / left
uudone."
The CHEEKY word is a wonderful
leaven. The man in the street who
has CHEEKY "good morning" for his
friends sends a smile ripping along
and inspires better feeling for some
body all day. The man in the office
or the store or the bank who comes
in with the CHEEKY word is as well
come as the roses of May and the in
fluence he exerts is as sweet as the
perfume they exhale.
The CHEEKY word is a good thing
for every day life and it helps the
man who speaks it aud the man who
hears. There will be trouble, and
sorrow and care enough without our
adding to the sad procession, and
happy is the man who feels when the
day is done that it has been his for
tune to scatter only CHEEKY words as
be FASTENED one day nearer to the
long evening of life.-Ne,cport Ne,cs

FINDING FAULT.

Nothing is more in accord with
adverse human nature than finding
fault. There is room for fault find
ing in this world of onrs, and there
are some who appear disposed always
to occupy it. They see little else but
the wrong and are not at all backward
in pointing it out. They have be-
come adopts at the business and
would be discontented, their occupa-
ton gone, were they to wake up some
morning and find that the millennium
had come while they were asleep
They would say that it was out Of
order for it to come in that way and
at such a time as they were unable
to give directions.-The Echo.

HICKS FORECASTS FOR JULY.

A noticeable tendency to cloudi-
ness will prevail during the first ten
days, with misty, drizzling weather
in many parts of the country. A
dominating tendency to rain and
storminess on and touching 2nd and
3rd.
A very probable change to cooler
will pass over the country from west
to east between the 4th and 9TH. Paw
no attention to the man or newspaper
who says, "Hicks says it will be cool
all the time and everywhere from the
4th to the 7th." What we say is, a
change to cooler will cross the coun-
try from west to east during these
days, something like railroad train

Farmer Bows.

The Northampton Times, in one
of its excellent lectures on farms and
farmers, exclaims:
Boys! Farmer boys, if you at times
weary of farming and think per-
chance there are other, easier and
more respectable vocations that you
should fill, be at once undeceiyed;
there was never higher and more
responsible calling than that of the
farmer, nor one that requires the
exercises of more brain power. 1t
takes man with mind as well as
muscle to be successful farmer, and
the work is both honorable and
necessary.

This old philosophy, thousands of
years old, is majestic aud beautiful.
1t is daily understood by the modern
mind that the Creator is both male
aud the female In one, though known
as He.
To the ancient mind, the creative
force seemed feminine, since all
things came forth from it. Kahli
represents this idea of the mighty
power back of the universe.
Whoever understands the words
as they were meant to be understood
must feel sense of exaltation In
reading them.
They bid us to be merry while at
the task life has set for our doing.
To do that task we'll. to shrink from
no duty, to ask for no special reward,
and to think of it all as sport. 1t is,
In truth, to regard life and its tolls
and sorrows as the children are made
to regard kindergarten, where they
are given work and education under
the form of play and games. The
three.year old child laughs with glee
while it is taught to weave and braid,
and count and build, thinking it has
the greatest sport in the world. That
is the idea of "kahll the Mother" in
urging us to be merry and to "ask
nothing" and "know nothing" but
the task she has set for our doing.
We are to empty our souls of all
selfish desires aud let the will of the
Great Mother flow through us. That
does not mean that we are to have
no object or aim in life. 1t means
that when We are doing the very best
We know how to do, and yet all mis-
chievous fates seem to conspire
against destiny, but to open up Our
whole beings to the Infinite Source,
and let the divine waters flow
through as as the "waters of the sea
through a she'll"
And to him who does this the
promise of Kahli is given and will
be fulfilled. Not one thing we dc
shall be in vain. Not one effort
shall fail. The deed shall be greater
than the dream. just 30 sure as you
reach this state of mind, just so sure
shalt the glory of this promise bt
made good to you. You may cal
the Invisible Power any name you
like. You may think of it as He, Of
She or That.
1t does not matter 80 long as you
whole being goes out in love ant
trust and faith to the power which
set the universe in motion, and Q,
long as you know yourself a part O
it, brought into existence for the US,
of that power.
i Once you realize this truth, yor
cannot wish to harm a living thing
You cannot wish to violate the grea
laws of right living. You may Ion,
for many joys and pleasures whicl
have not come to you, but if yoI
"weave we'll the warp and shrink
from no demand that the task makes,
and if you regard pain and pleasur
as coming from the same Divin
Source, all things which you crav
shall be given you.

merrily!". Wheeler Wilcor.

KAHLI, THE MOTHER.

Think not life is serious. Whal

thou the ball is purposeless with
which thy Mother plays ? Knowest
thou not that her ball is thunder.

worlds at turn of her wrist? Ask
not of,plans. Need the arrow know
the plan when it is loosened from the
bow? /? Such art thou. When the
life is lived, the plan will be revealed.
Till then, o child of time, know
nothing.
My sport is unerring. For that
alone set forth on the days journey.
Think it was for my pleasure thou
camest forth into the world. And
for that again when the night falls,
and my desire is accomplished, shall
take thee to my rest. Ask nothing.
Plan nothing. Let my will flow
through thee as the ocean through
an empty shell. But one thing un-
derstand. Not one thing shall be in
vain. Not one effort shall fail at
last. The dream shall be less, not
greater than the deed. Thou shalt
go here and 60 there for some petty
reason, and thy going shall subserye
great ends. Thou shalt meet and
talk with many, but some few shall
be mine, and with these thou shalt
exchange sign and they shall fol-
low thee.
Pain is not different from pleasure
if L will both. Rejoice, therefore,
when thou CONTEST to the place of
tears, and see me smile. AT such
spots do | keep my tryst with men,
aud fold them deep in my heart.
Strong, fearless aud resolute, when
the game is done thou shalt know
well, little one, that l Kahli, the
Giver of Manhood, the Giver of
Womanhood, am thy Mother. Be
steadfast in the toll 1 give thee.
Weave well the warp into the woof.
Shrink from no demand that the
task makes of thee. Feel no respon-
sibllity. Ask no reward.
