RAMS HORN ARROW POINTS.

The soul is the secret Of civilization.
There are no shipwrecks in puddle
Self-searching will cure self-seeking.
The dutiful are seldom the doubling.
Sin sears over the senses of the soul
Fanaticism is the greatest foe of faith
Character is fashioned by Christening.
He who seeks honor oft finds q har-
ness.
God puts out no light because 1t is
little.
The church must keep her sympathies
down to lift the world up.
The garment of holiness is not sub
ject to the vagaries of fashion.
There is no blessing in the tie that
binds the church and the devil.
The hope of the world is in that to
which our hearts turn in sorrow.
The Parent OF all cannot honor those
who fail to honor their parents.-Ram' 5

UNCLE NOSES RUSE.
PLAYED BEAR IN ORDER TO
CATCH SLY OLD BRUIN.
Vermont Farmer Dressed Up in Fur
Proved a Fine Decoy - Fellow
Citizens Talk of Sending
Him to Legislature.

Uncle Nose Whites belled bear,
which ever since it returned to civil
cation after its winter snooze in the
mountains has been Fostering inhabi-
tants roundabout Sherburne, VT, has
been caught.
The New York World says the bear
was belled by Uncle Nose last summer
to drive off other bears infesting the
locality, and the wholo township was
proud of Uncle Nose as originator of
the scheme until bruin got to stealing
lambs and otherwise making himself
obnoxious. The animal finally got to
he such nuisance that every one was
mighty glad when he holed up for the
winter. Folks never expected to lay
eyes on him again but with the first
warm spring sun Lack he came and
resorted to his old tactics.
The Uncle Nose wrote a letter to
Hiram Marsh, a Shrewsbury hunter.
and in due time received a big pack
age. Even village gossips failed to
learn its contents and when the farmer
took it home no one knew what it con-
tanned. Probably all the details of
what followed never would have been
believed had not Sim Whitaker hap
pened to need a new augur to tap
sugar trees. The one he sent to Rut-
land for didn't suit and so he went
over to Noses house one evening to
borrow one.
AS he heared the barn cross-lots he
heard noise and saw a shaggy ami
NAL rubbing his back against an apple
tree. 1t was pretty dark. but he had
no difficulty in making out the form
of big bear and he moved up an elm
with such agility that he lost his hat.
He had scarcely straddled a limb
when he heard a hollow tinkle and
glanced over his shoulder to see the

GOT OUT OF HIS BEAR skIN
belled bear rubbing up against another
tree dozen rods off.
The belled bear uttered q low whine
and the other responded with a gut
tural grunt and moved ever to Sims
tree. This finished Sim and he couldn't
have uttered sound If his life had de-
pended upon IL. At the trunk the bear
stopped, looked up, clawed at the bark
and sat down. At this the belled bear
tossed his nose in the air. shifted sus-
piciously and rolled on the grass.
Finally he moved slowly toward the
barn, now and then looking over his
shoulder and granting. Evidently the
belled bear must DO the trailing IL
there were 10 be any further CONF
dences. Following the waddling bear
with his eyes Sim was surprised 10 see
the dim outlines OF gun leaning
against the corner of the barn. X he
could only lay hands on that, he
thought, he could make short work of
one OF the animals at least. The idea
excited him. and he moved. The wad-
ding bear heard the noise. stopped
short and growled. IL was low srowl,
but 1t froze Sim into silence. and with
bullying eyes he watched what followed.
The belled bear had advanced a few
steps when the other reached the cor
ner of the barn, knocked down the
rifle with his paw, and picked it up in
his. forearms. The next instant he lay
down on the weapon lovingly, wiggled
the stump of his tall and stretched out
on the grass. There was something
unnatural and uncanny in the way he
pushed the muzzle Of the gun around,
and when Sim heard the unmistakable
sound of a clicking lock, his heart
stood still.
Suddenly there was a flash, a loud
report followed by a howl of rage and
pain from the belled bear and Sim
toppled out of the tree and struck the
ground with dull thud. The next
moment he was in the arms of the
shooting bruin and a voice, issuing
from within the shaggy head, was yell
ing to him to keep quiet.
"Consarn ye," shouted the voice,
keep quiet, will We? I hain't killed
him yet"
Then the paws again picked up the
gun and sent a bullet through the
belled bears head.
At this Sim went straight into hys-
terics and Uncle Nose had to get out
Of his bear skin and show himself in
his proper person before he could bring
his neighbor back to his senses.
Sim giggled and cried by turns, but
finally struck q mental balance and
then Uncle Nose explained that he had
dressed up IN the skin OF an old she
bear, borrowed from his friend Marsh.
After all he was glad Sim had ap-
peared, as he could prove the truth of
the story. Nose is the most talked Of
man in the village to-day and they are
thinking of sending him to the legis-
lature in the fall.

CITY WILL, NOT MINE"

INTO Thine outstretched hand
We lay it all;
Only at Thy command
Can i'll befall;
And secret good must hide
In seeming i'll.
Welcomed and loved, because
1t is Thy will
Thy will, that takes the sting
From every care;
Thy will, that joy can bring
From our despair;
Thy will, that turns to gain
Our shame and loss,
That let's the crown remain.
And takes our cross.
Dear Lord. Thy gracious will,
Once understood,
We in Thy hands lie still;
Make Thou us good.
No fear, no care have we,
No way, no choice:
Whate'er Thy teaching be,
We must rejoice.
Even the rod is sweet
In Thy employ:
There can be at Thy feet
Nothing but joy;
Annd naught but sweetest peace
In any smart,
For souls whose life Is hid
In Gods great heart.

Now Considering Offer to Become
Democratic Committee Chairman.
New York, July Ex-senator Cor
man, as a result of the conferences of
the distinguished Democrats who have
been meeting here, has been asked to
become chairman of the Democratic
national committee. With great reluct-
ance he has taken the request under
consideration, but it seems certain tnat
he will decline. William F. Sheehan is
the next choice, but he also may not
accept, chiefly because he regards his
health as unequal to the strain. Should
neither Senator German nor Mr.. Shee-
han accept the craftsmanship opinion is
quite uncertain as to who may be
chosen. Judge Parker has declined to
say who should be the chairman, pre-
arring TO leave the matter entirely
with his advisers and the national
Democratic committee

Dissimilarities.

Our dissimilarities in our homes are
often greater than our similarities, the
differences more than the correspond
ences. But ii is the cohesion and unity
of these that make the home so enjoy
able. Many men of one mind are not so
valuable as factors in society as many
men of many minds brought together in
unity. The personality of each stimu-
lates all, remarks the United Presby-
terrain. Diversity in unity forms the
most valuable association.
