A Salutary Lesson.
The PeremptOry Action Of q German
town Policeman

town Policeman.
An ash barrel ready for the ash
man stood on the sidewalk in German
town, Pa. A young man, well
dressed, with a young woman, pretty
and fashionable, passed the ash bar
rel, and the young man wantonly gave
1t a kick which scattered the contents
all over the newly swept sidewalk.
Perhaps his grandfather was dust
man, and he was celebrating his eI6an-
cipation from the ancestral task; per
haps he was a born kicker, and the
barrel happened to be the only avail
able object; he did not explain. But
policeman bounced upon him.
Here, Mr.. Man." said the police
man, "you put those ashes back
And the young man did. Meekly,
laboriously, with no shovel but his
hands, he scooped those ashes off the
pavement and restored them to the
barrel. When the job was finished
neither he nor the sidewalk looked as
clean as before the episode, but the
law was satisfied.
This was hard on the young man,
but It was good lesson. IF all the
people who strew things around the
landscape could be made to pick them
up and put them back. we should
have less untidiness III parks ard
streets. Moreover, if mothers taught
their children TO pick up and put
away their own belongings 1t would
lessen the amount Of household labor
and win them. IN after life. the heart
felt gratitude of many of their fellow
beings. 1t is no sign Of superiority
to create trouble and discomfort for
other people.

Cooke and the Quaker.

There Is good old story about 4
Quaker and his wife, They failed TO

quite as hafmoniously as they should,
which caused the old gentleman to re
mark
All the world is queer except thee
and me, and thou, too, art a little
queer sometimes"

Cooke, of Medford, to keep pure the
Methodism of his own conception led
him first to charge Prof. Bovine. of
Boston University, with heresy. Now
he adds Editor Parkhurst, of "Zion's
Herald" long the stalwart defender
of New England Methodism, to his
list.
If this sort of thing continues, we
shall assuredly see the Medford gen
tleman lining up logically with the
good Quaker. It has been our expert
ence that the thing for us to do, when
the whole world seemed TO be wrong,
was to take hunt around inside our
selves and find out if we were alto
gether right.

bad reputation. In fact, 1t is generally
