A Perfect Gentleman.

At a euchre party in Bala the other
afternoon young woman told a funny
story that she had part in in Color
ado recently. II was calling" she
said, ION a lady In Denver, and in the
parlor with us were the two sons Of
the house, Willie and George, aged re-
spectively 5 and 5 years. Willie was
very quiet and good, but George be-
hayed awfully. He broke an orna-
ment; he fretted and cried; he kicked
his mother; he cut his finger with a
fruit knife. Finally my hostess said
to him: George, why can't you be.

brother Willie. See what a perfect
little gentleman he Is. His good con-
duct ought to make you ashamed. He

right in his chair, smiled acquiescence
to all this praise. George Is making
a d--n fool Of himself, isn't he?' he
remarked complacently."

She was sitting by the kitchen

She was tall, languid girl Of sixteen
or thereabout, and spoke with a soft,
indolent drawl. She was talking
now, as much to herself as to any
body, for no one seemed to have time

"Oh, you needn't laugh" the girl
said, still in her even drawl. "You

Peculiar Elevator That Lifted Bishop

During an uncommonly hot week Of
a summer when Bishop Henry G. Pot
ter resided on North Washington
square he had as a guest q distin-
gulshed English churchman, a bishop
and member Of the House Of Lords
The visitor was afflicted with rheuma-
tism and was unable to ascend the
stairs from the dining room without
considerable suffering. The residence
was equipped with a 'hand-power
freight and baggage elevator, large
enough to accommodate one passen.

that purpose. After noticing the evil.
dent pain caused by the stairway, In
the case Of his distinguished guest, 1t
occurred to Bishop Potter that the
freight elevator might be available
as more convenient means Of ascent
After dinner on one Of the hottest
days In summer the experiment was
tried. The visiting bishop stepped
carefully into the gloomy box. Two
young men who had also dlned well,
and to whom post.prandial exertion
was In the nature Of a sore burden,
were pressed into service to haul on
the ropes. The distinguished and at.
ficted guest was Of portly habit,
and weighed more than the average OF
stone"
The elevator was not built for great
weights, and Its lifting power depend
ed almost exactly upon the main
strength at the end Of the ropes. With
prodigious heaving and hauling the
ascent was begun. The two flushed
and painting young men looked at each
other and had emphatic thoughts. As
the gathered calves Of the ecclesiastic
were disappearing up the shaft, an
inch at time, a deep voice foated
down to the volunteer crew:

And in a gasplng duet, the reply

shown should recommend itself to the
considerable farmer. 1t has the facul'
ty Of taking up all slack in the rope,
no matter what the position Of the
head may be. yet there is little exer-
ton, required TO lift the weight and
lengthen the tie when the animal lies
down or reaches after food in the end
of the manger. The device consists
of a vertical tube, with pulley at the
top, over which the rope passes be-
fore being attached to the weight. The
latter need only be sufficiently heavy
to counterbalance the cord, as there
is no strain to be overcome until the
weight reaches the top Of the tube and
is held in place by the roller.

Take care of the heart and the con.
duct will take care of itself. Take care
of the conduct and the influence will
take care of itself. Take care of the
influence and the destiny will take
care of itself.
Grief for things past that cannot be
remedied, and care for things to come
that cannot be prevented, may easily
hurt, can never benefit me. I will,
therefore, commit myself to God in
both and enjoy the present.
God gives US always strength and
sense enough for what He wants us to
do; if we either tire ourselves or puz-
zle ourselves, it Is our own fault. And
We may always be sure, whatever we
are doing, that we cannot be pleasing
Him if we are not happy ourselves.
Religion is the art of living, and
nothing else-living with hands, with
feet, with eyes, with palate, with con-
science, with reverence it is the lite
of the whole man. Nothing less than
that is religion; nothing more than
that Is possible.

week sharply caitioised In a half column edi-
torisl the intention announced In the Adver-
tiser by Rev. w. b. Duncan OF this town to
preach few sermons on Eternal Punishment
and He'll. The editorial forces the conclusion
that the editor Of the Press aud Banner ought
10 preach. We have long thought that the
editor of the Press and Banner should preach.
One cannot read the Press and Banner closely
as we read II without discerning its editors
pulpit talent. The Press and Banner Is @
great newspaper and its editorials are always
strong ana original, but its editor would do
more good preaching than writing. anybody
can edit newspaper but few men can preach
like the editor OF the Press and Banner can
preach. and the sooner he abandons the tri.
pod for the pulpit. the better 1t will be for all
concerned. No natural born Sam Jones has
a right TO hide his light under teacup.
