A Girls Place.

Every girl, if she be not thoroughly
selfish, is anxious to lift some of the
burden of household management from
her mothers shoulders on to her own;
but, unfortunately, may girls want to
be asked to do things, instead of being
constantly on the lookout for little du-
ties which they are capable of doing.
If you would be of any real use in
the home, you must be quick to notice
what is wanted-the room that needs
busting, the flowers that need REAR
ranging, the curtain which has lost a
ring, and is therefore dropping; and
then you must not only be willing to
do what is needed, but willing 10 do
it pleasantly, without making people
feel that you are being martyred
1t is almost useless to take up any
household duties unless you do them
regularly. If you do thing one
day, and not the reIt, you can never
be depended on, and ifsome one else
has to be constantly reminding you of
and supervising your work it proba-
bly, give that person more trouble
than doing it herself would cause.
Have a definite day and a definite
time for all you do. The flower vases
will need attention every other day,
the silver must be cleaned once a week
and there should be one day kept for
mending and putting away household
linen. Begin, too, directly after break
fast and keep on steadily until your
work is done.
If you begin by sitting down, inst
for a minute, with a book, or think
you will lust arrange the trimming
on your new hat, the morning will be
half gone before you know where you
are.
A girl who has brothers may spare
her mother all those tiresome little Jobs
which boys are always requesting to
have done for them, ifshe will only do
them kindly but boy will not come
and ask his sister to repair frayed-out
buttonholes and to make him paste for
his photograph album if she snaps and
says he is always botherIng."
1t is not easy work, but it is quite
possible for the daughter at home to
make sunshine Philadelphia Ledger.

a Pleasant Voice.
pores

! wonder how many Of our readers
try TO speak so that their voices will
sound sweet and pleasant to every
one that hears them. There are boys
and girls who never try to do this,
and presently their voices become
harsh and loud and unpleasant TO
hear. A sweet voice in the home il
like beautiful chime OF bells which
delight us every time they are rung'
but a loud, rough, noisy voice that
snaps and snarls is like a bell that is
cracked and all out Of tune.
The kind Of voice we use depends a
good deal upon the kind Of things We
say. If we say unkind, harsh or an
cry things, then our voices are likely
to be harsh and unpleasant; but if we
try to say pleasant things, then our
voices are apt to become sweet and
pleasant to hear. The words we say
depend upon the thoughts that we
tave. Let US ask Jesus to give us
good thoughts, so that we may have
only good words to say.

Fresh Air.

You would not think of drinking
stale or poisoned water, would you ?
You know that if you were to be shut
in an air-ight compartment death
would result. Ofall the necessities
Of life, you can live longer without
any Of them than air. You know
that on sunless day, with close
atmosphere, you are out Of sorts at
the best, if you are lucky enough to
escape physical ssilments, while you
are mentally depressed. But once let
the sun shine brightly and clear the
atmosphere, how different, how much
better YOU feel in every way.
Cold weather is coming, and when
you are tempted to close up the house
as tight as it can be made remember
these things, and don't doit, especially
at night Keep the windows in the
sleeping apartments open enough to at
least give you sufficient fresh air. A
cold room does not indicate that il is
healthy, far from it. A sleeper will
soon breathe up all the fresh air in a
room, and if there is not a constant
supply OF fresh air he simply breathes
over and over again the poison thrown
off by his lungs. And the breathing
Of this vitiated air only tends to lower
the temperature and vitality of the
system, so that it j, not as capable of
withstanding the r;gors of winter.
Fresh air is heating to the body; in
fact, upon 1t depends the combustion
Of the fuel in the body, aud by which
We are kept alive, which we should
always bear in mind.
Even with open window. during the
night bed chambers and bed clothes
should be thoroughly aired each morn.
ing, and allowed all the sunlight pos
slble. During sleep not only do the
lungs throw off more poison than dur
ing the day, but it is especially SO
with the body in it's relaxed condition
and when the pores are all open.
During sleep the body should have
plenty of covering; better to have too
much than not enough, both to induce
deep slumber and to keep the skin
moist and the pores open that they
may have the opportunity to rid the
system Of poison. Bear in mind that
death would follow the closing of the
pores

A West of England clergyman, hav-
ing allowed his church to get into
bad state of disrepair, was ordered to
restore it. He commenced with the
sounding board over the pulpit, and
after putting it right he called in his
coachman with view to testing it
and made a speech from the pulpit.
"How does that sound, James2"
ut sounds very well, master; |
heard every word, replied the coach
man.
Now, James, you change places
with me and say something"
James at once entered the pulpit
ard said very distinctly, and even en-
phaticslly: Il haven't had any wages
for a month. How does that sound,
sir2"

Or. George P. Hays Story.

sHEPHERDsTOWN w. VA THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1903.

"You ugly snail get off my sore nose.
"Why, that is only come of the salt
you put on me yesterday calmly an
swered the snail, crawling over Ted:
face. "Your nose is such good shape
for slide" concluded he, and he pro-
ceeded to utilize it for that purpose.
"Gee Whizzl what a good fish bait
you would make, said an angle worm,
crawling slowly over Ted's neck until
he came to his cheek, and then added,
II will just stay here, old boy, and we
can play wiggle waggle."
Ted was very much frightened at
all these things, and though he admit
ted that he had mistreated these little
creatures as they had represented, still
he did not like to have them on such
intimate terms with him. He saw a
cloud of white butterflies coming to-
ward him and thought, "Well, they
cannot hurt me, anyway"
Cant WEI" said the leader, Just as
if Ted had spoken out aloud, lust let
us show you how it feels to be fastened
with pin ,'andhe ::lrove asharp in
strument through Ted's body which
pinned him to the ground.
There, sir, you can futter and fut-
ter as We did on your desk at school, -
and the pretty thing poised itself on
the head of the pin and laughed and
would be laughing still, no doubt, only
a squirrel seated on the bough over
head with slingshot began firing nut
shells at Ted's face.
Take that, and that, you sneaky, y
chattered the squirrel, taking another
aim. Say, you stop that; never
did anything to you, called out Ted
"You stole my Winters nuts, you
-" Just how it happened seemed
strange, but the nut shell hit the but
teray and knocked it off its perch.
Then confusion most dire rose. the
bees buzzed madly, the grasshOpper
swallowed the ant and the frog swal-
lowed the grasshopper, the snail melt
ed away and the angle worm ran away
with the frog hopping after it two
Jumps at a time.
Ted was going to laugh out. but be
was afraid the pin might hurt him,
when he felt terrible whack right on
top of his head-an apple had fallen
of the tree and struck him. He
Jumped to his feet and for a moment
was da2ed He felt for the long pin
and for the ladybug in his ear, but
everything was gone. He was as much
frightened at their disappearance as he
had been when they came, and he
made break for home. He ran
through the orchard and 'prang over
the garden wall. The chickens flew
in terror, the dog barked at the ap-
proach of his enemy, and the cat stuck
up her back and hissed.
1t took Ted some time to realize
just how it all happened that afternoon.
However, he did not tease the cat that
night. His mother watched him and
wondered much at his gentleness. Then
looking at him critically, she said /:
"Ted, what is the matter with you?
Are you sick?" mo, nav; I'm only
re-reforming."

That has It's origin above
Would come and keep in fashion;
That Scorn and Jealousy and Hate
And every base emotion.
Were buried fifty fathoms deep
Beneath the waves Of ocean.
I wish-that friends were always true,
And motives always pure:
wish the good were not so few,
wish the bad we're fewer;
wish that parsons ne'er forgot
To heed their pious teaching:
wish that practcing was not
So different from preaching.
wish-in fne-that Joy and Mirth,
And every good IDEAL
May come erevhile throughout the earth
To be the glorious Real;
Till God shall every creature bless
With His supremest blessing,
And Hope be lost in Happiness,
And Wishing in Possessing.

FINDS A WAY OUT.
City Attorney Suggests Relief for
Huntoon Street Property Owners,

There is a way OUT for the people
on Huntoon street between Jackson and
Van Buren,, who thought they might
have to pay for paving half of the city
railways double track right of way.
City Attorney Spencer has been looking
up the law in the case and says:
THE Situation is that the contract was
let on the superstition that the city rail-
way would build a single track on that
block After all the preliminaries had
been gone through with. but before the
pavement was laid. the railway decided
to lay double track. If the present
situation continues. the people on this
block will have to pay for paving the
second track.
The only way out I can see is for the
council to imTne diately pass a resolution
declaring it to Ne its intention to pass
next year a re-<NDpropriation ordinance
and deduct from the total cost of the
pavement the cost of the pavement on the
second track. 1t is too late to pass such
an ordinance for TINS year, because the
tax rolls are made lIp
Suppose that on the single track basis
a property owner had TO pay 500 as his
share of the expense. Suppose that it
should be found that with a double
track he will only have to pay $50. My
paid this year from the $50 and divide
the remainder into nine payments If
anyone has paid his tax in full the differ
ence due him should be returned in cash
AS to widening the street l can't see
any way to bring this about without in
volvfag in the situation 50 much red
tape We could never get out -
