A LOSING ARRANGEMENT.

Farmer Goodman suffered repeated
loses from his hog yard, and, after a
good deal of patient watching discov-
cred that his neighbor, Mr.. Nabber,
was the thief.
Being an exceedingly good-natur-
ed man, Mr.. Goodman called on his
neighbor, and said to him
"Neighbor Nabber. I have positive
proof that you have been-er-um-
we'll, rather careless in relation to my
hogs. My losses in consequence have
been much more than I can afford.
l would like to make compromise
with you, and not compror' e you
by going to law. I'll give III 500
pounds of pork every year if Oh will
pledge me not to-er-that is not to
be guilty of any further contributary
negligence in connection with my
hog yard"
But Nabber declined to make any
amicable arrangements in fact, he
pretended to be offended by Mr.. Good
mans obligations. Conditions soon
became even worse, and good Mr..
Goodman was driven to heroic meas
ure. He had his neighbor, Mr.. Nab
Der, indicted for hog stealing.
On the witness stand he told all
about his offer of compromise, and
said:
81 am willing to renew it right
now. If the Judge will give his con-
sent to the arrangement, and the pris-
oner will agree not to molest my hogs
any more, I'll give him 500 pounds of
pork every year. and let this case be
dismissed"
"Well, prisoner, what have you to
say to that?" asked the Judge.
After some moments of reflection,
with eyes foorward, the prisoner rails
ed his head and made reply:
"W-a-l, Jedge, 1 reckon I'll have
to accept the propositions, under all
of the circumstances but I'm salts
fed 1 shall loose right smart OF
money by it."

TAKE PEOPLE AT THEIR BEST.

One of the greatest lessons in life
is to learn to take people at their
best, not their worst to look for the
divine, not the human the beauti-
full, not the ugly; the bright, not the
dark; the straight, not the crooked
side.
A habit of looking for the best in
everybody, and of saying kindly in
stead of unkindly things about them,
strengthens the character, elevates
the ideals, and tends to produce hap
piness. 1t also helps to create friends.
We like to be with those who see the
divine side of us, who see Our possi-
bilities, who do not dwell upon the
dark side of our life, but upon the
bright side. This is the Office of a
true friend; to help us discover Our
noblest selves.

PINK ROSES.
FLORA STEWART EMORY.

"Please give me dozen of your
prettiest roses" Margaret said to the
florist. "I want them fresh, they
are for sick person" eyes, Miss"
he answered picking out twelve beau-
tiful ones. She took them eagerly
and started on her mission of love.
"I know he will understand" she
murmured, bending her face over the
pink bunch tenderly. Expectation
frightened her eyes and Redeemed her
cheeks. 81 am so glad l thought of
buying these" she murmured, kiss
ing the largest rose bud. "Rob knows
love him even if 1 am sometimes
exacting and jealous. Oh, it's be-
cause I think so much of him p
Her heart felt wonderfully happy,
and she hummed snatches of songs as
she hurried along.
"I came to see Rob-" Margaret
said as the door of the boarding house
opened. Even as she spoke her heart
sank; Blanche Keller boarded here,
too, and had come to the door.
81 am sorry, dear Margaret, " she
said in her peculiarly soft voice, "but
Rob cannot see any one today"
"He will see me, I am sure, said
Margaret, quietly.
"Well, 1 will go and ask him, !"
Blanche responded without inviting
the caller in.
"Take him these roses and say I
would like to see him if he feels able,
Margaret called.
Blanche took them. ''How sweet,
she said, drinking deep of their fra
GRANGE.
When Blanche returned Margaret
noticed how cold and hard her gray
eyes looked. "I hate her p she
thought.
"Rob thanks you very much for
the roses but begs to be excused from
seeing you.- His head aches badly,
| lnoeed am tired out ruDDlng II, DuI
he insists it does him so much good. "
AS Blanche delivered this message
she looked beyond little Margaret.
She could not meet those honest blue
eyes which were fast filling with tears
of disappointment.
Margaret turned slowly from the
door. Goodbye" she said, her
heart too wounded to disguise its
feelings.
Back to the sittingroom Blanche
hurried. "She says she really can
not stop today, bnt is glad you are so
much better"
The sick boys face fell. 81 am
sorry, she might have come in few
minutes" he murmured.
"Why don't you go out in the
fresh air? 7" he asked suddenly, turn
ing to Blanche, whose fingers were
lightly arranging and re-arranging
the roses.
"I?" she answered. "Why, I
would rather stay with you."
Rob took her unresisting hand in
his. "You are the only unselfsh,
self sacrificing girl 1 know"
Blanche smiled sweetly. The pink
roses fell unheeded to the floor.

A little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee that has so much to bear;
A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath thatch of tangled hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF warm, moist fingers, folding yours 80 tight
You do not prize this blessing overmuch-
You almost are too tired to pray tonight.
But it is blessednessl year ago
did not see IL as / do today;
We are 80 dull and thankless, and too slow
To catch the sunshine till it slips away.
And now It seems SURPRISING strange to me
That, while wore the badge of motherhood,
did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought me only good.
And If some night, when you sit down to rest,
You miss this elbow from your tired knee
This restless curling head from on your breast,
This lisping tongue that chatters constantly
If from your own the dimpled hands had slipped
And ne'er would nestle in your palm again;
If the white feet into their grave had tripped,
l could not blame you for your heartache ther
I wonder so that mothers ever fret
At little children clinging to their gown,
Or that the footprints, when the days are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them frown.
If could find little muddy boot.
Or cap, or jacket, on my chamber floor,
II could kiss rosy, restless foot,
And hear 1t patter in my house once more
If could mend a broken cart today,
hHs q o as - ite s to rSoSh la the ,d az
She was more blissfuliy content than !.
Bot, ah the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by shining head;
My singing birding from its nest is flown
The little boy used to kiss Is dead

WRITING AND DOING.

A woman there was, and she wrote for the press
Gas you or might do),
She told how to cut and fit dress,
And how to stew many savory mess;
But she never did it herself, guess
(Which none of her readers knew.
Oh, the hour we spent, and the -four we spent,
And the sugar we wasted like sand,
At the behest of a woman who never had cooked
(And now we know that she never could cook
And did not understand.
A woman there was, and she wrote right fair
Gas you or might do),
How out of barrel to make chair,
To be covered with chintz and stuffed with hair,
'Twould adorn any parlor and give it an air
land we thought the tale was true).
Oh, the days we worked and the ways we worked
To hammer and saw and tack,
In making a chair in which no one would sit,
A chair in which no one could possibly sit,
Without crick in his back.
A woman there was, and she had her fun
Better than you and II,
She wrote receipts, and she never tried one,
She wrote about children-of course she had
nome
She told US to do what she never had done
(And never intended to try).
And it isn't to toll, and it isn't to spoil,
That brims the cup of disgrace
It's to follow woman who didn't know beans
"a woman who never had cooked any beans).
But wrote, and was paio 10 MI space.

DO WE LIVE TOO wARMi

There seems to be much grum-
bling among the younger people
about cold houses and no coal," re-
marked the oldest inhabitant. "You
young people are not at all hardy,
like I used to be when I was a young
man. The cold didn' make us shiver
and shake, and we didn't want steam
heat or coal stove in every room in
Our house. In those days we had
nothing but wood fires, and those
only in few rooms. On Sunday we
might have a fire in the parlor, but on
other days we sat by the open fire.
place in tae kitchen when we came
into the touse. We dressed pretty
warm, and had knit woolen mittens
and stockings, but didn't wear much
heavier unierclothes than they do
nowadays. Then we slept in cold
rooms, that didn't have fire in them
from one year's end to the other.
When any one was sick we might put
hot brick in the bed, and OCCASION
ally we ran the warming-pan filled
with Goals in the bed to warm the
cold sheets for the children. But we
could stand more cold then we can
now. There wasn't any coal, and
the wood6res had to be made up fresh
every morning, before breakfast, from
the few live ashes that were covered
over on the hearth in the template
stove.
Then there's another thing that
would pretty near kill the delicate
young people nowadays. We would
walk out in the pump shed and wash
Our hands in a wash basin of cold
water from the pump, out in the
open air. We would have to chop
tie ice from the basin sometimes.
We did't have any hot and cold spig
OTIS in a bathroom, and I've taken a
wash-of in a bucket of water in a
room when the mercury was down
below the freezing point. Yes, peo-
pie are spoiled nowadays" the ven
cradle citizen concluded. "You are
creatures of habit, and feel the cold
quicker than we did. I've slept in
attics in old farmhouses when the
snow would be a-blowing in under
the shingles on my bed land get up and
shake my trousers to get the snow out
and milk before daylight Then I'd
feel warm when I had MIXED a half
ofSfried potatoes and sausage when I
came in for breakfast. Ibid not have
to sidle up to a heat register to get
warm before eating. Yes, you peo-
pie live too warm and don't take
enough exercise-outdoors. It's a
mistake to sleep in heated rooms, as
it makes person tender. If every
man or boy had on a pair of woolen
stockings like my mother used to
knit, it wouldn't hurt them to turn
out in the cold, either. People bum
die up more than is necessary. When
1 got my feet wet I used to have a
warm, dry pair of stockings ready to
put on, and so didn't catch cold. I
can't stand as much cold now as I
used to, but the younger generation
live warmer than we used to sixty
years ago."
Is there any moral in the venerable
citizens remark?

HANKS MOURNERS.

He'd get his just deserts served hot.

THE BALKY HORSE.

For the benefit of those who have
been caused great deal of anxiety
by balky horse, lost trains as well
as tempers and sometimes even ruin
ed the horse, the next time they have
the experiece to run across a balky
horse, no matter how bad he is, let
me tell you how to start him ninety
nine times out of a hundred.
Of course it may fail one time in a
hundred. When a horse balks, no
matter how badly he sulks or how
ugly he is, do not beat him. Don't
throw sand in his ears, don't use a
rope on his forelegs or even burn
straw under him. Quietly go and
pat him on the head moment. Take
hammer or even pick up stone in
the street tell the driver to sit still,
take his lines, hold them quietly
while you lift up either front foot,
give each nail light tap and good
smart tap on the frog, drop the foot
quickly and then chirp to him to go.
In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
the horse will go right on about his
business, but the driver must keep
his lines taut and not pull or jerk
him back.
If l have tried this once. I have
tried it 500 times, and every time l
have suggested it people have laugh
ed and even bet SIS dollars and bottles
of wine that 1 could not do it. So
far I have won every bet. This may
make you smile, but a horse has
more common sense than most people
are willing to give him credit for.
The secret of this little trick is diver
sion. 1 am firm believer that with
kindness and proper treatment a horse
can be driven with a string.

TO SUCCEED SOCIALLY.

When a woman has the courage to
think for herself and to be original
and honest she possesses the keynote
to social success. The first essential
toward social success is personal mag
netism that much coveted quality is
to think and act for oneself. The
next essential is to be a good listener.
A good listener absorbs all the best
things she hears, and casts aside the
worthless things that would be of no
use to her. To absorb the best of
everything around you and make the
best of yourself is quality that can
not be too highly commended,
Never copy or initiate any one
else, however much you may admire
them, for there is where you lose
yourself n another's personality.
Many women in reading book that
has created stir in literary and other
circles gush and rave about it simply
because it is popular would it not be
much better to read a book intelli-
gently and then if it does not interest
you or you do not like it have the
courage to say so, even if you you
do differ with others?
1t is in just such small matters as
the above that woman shows she
has the courage to think for herself
and have original opinions. She then
becomes interesting and to be inter-
esting is to succeed socially.-Ame1i-
can Queen.
