LET SOMETHING GOOD BE SAID.

When over the fair name of friend or foe
The shadow of disgrace shall fall; instead
OF words Of blame, proof of thus and so.
Let something good be said
Forget not that no fellOw-being yet
May fall so low but love may lift his head
Even the cheek of shame with tears is wet
If something good be said.
No generous heart may vainly turn aside
In ways of sympathy; soul so dead
But may awaken strong and glorifed
If something good be said.
And so l charge We by the thorny
And by the cross on which the Saviour bled
And by your own souls hope of fair renown,
Let something good be said

repeated j. V. Ladd the shoe salesman.

it not been for the fact that a few days
ago a couple Of ladies, customers Of my
place, We're discussing that very point
and their deductions appear to solve the
riddle perfectly.
1T Is not that Q woman's shoe laceS
will not tie in as firm a knot as any
others; the reason for the frequent an
noyances to which women are subject
ed, is apart from that. In the case OF
high shoes, the trouble is altogether in
their height. The shoe laceS further up
on the leg than a mans, usually hts
more snugly, and, therefore encounters
a greater strain on the knot hen the
woman is walking. The result is that
it becomes 1oosened in a very ShorG

out exception this cartoon is the finest

owe the shoulder of h other. On the
face of Depew Is an expression Of great

This IS a small world and as scientific
disc overies and Inventions multiply it
hecomes smaller. The Savannah News
is responsible for the following. which
shows that the world is so small that
a householder in london who wishes
to move to a residence in Philadelphia
has nothing more to do than have his
household goods placed on furniture
vans and order them delivered at the
designated street and number in the
ether city. In the course of time the
identical furniture wagons, just as they
were loaded in the streets of London pull
up at the Philadelphia address. Great
Improvement on the old style is this as
to furniture moving, but it is the same
old style of newspaper-eXaggeration.
The News says:
A shipment of household goods by
dray from London was received in Phil
adelphia the other day. A wealthy cot
ton merchant who had been living in
London desired to remove to Philadel-
phia. He ordered several furniture
drays and a number of expert packers.
When the drays had been filled the
drivers asked, Where to-" ITO Phila-
delphia,'' replied the merchant. And so
the vehicles were put aboard a train and
sent to Liverpool, where they were
hoisted into the hold of a big steamship
and transported to the Pennsylvania
city. When they rumbled up to the door
of the Philadelphia house, there was
London mud On their wheels.
