AT THE TOP.

Perhaps you sometimes think that life Is
one almighty squeeze.
You're damned up on the pushing throng
too tightly for your ease.
Your ribs seem near collapsing and you
cannot draw breath:
Your tender feet are trodden till you almost
long for death.
But you must keep on climbing,
For 1t never does to stop.
They say there's lots Of elbow room
When once you've reached the top.
A rocky road to travel and a steeply graded
track!
It's slow work getting forward and It's
easy sliding bach.
The tolting and the humping are not pleas
ant, admit,
To reach that distant summit takes an
awful lot Of grit.
Perhaps you'll never reach It:
By the wayside you may Drop
It's rubber tires and asphalt, though,
When once you've reached the top.
There's little time for resting and you
either lie awake
Or sleep with one eye open when your brief
repose you take.
Your bed Is hard and lumpx-not conducive
to repose,
And even when you get there II Is hardly
safe to doxe.
That Is the worst part Of It.
You must keep on the hop.
You can't lie down and sleep and keen

PoAcHER's READY WIT
So Eloquent and Philosophical Tha,
It overcame the Gravity
of the Court.

An itinerant player, possessed OF
more wit than money, was driven by
hunger to commit the crime of poach-
ing in the neighborhood of Birming-
ham, and was, unluckily for him, de-
tected in the act and carried before q
bench of magistrates, relates London
Tit-Bits.
The knight of the buskin being
called ON for his defense, astonished
the learned justices by adapting to
his case Brutus' speech to the Romans
on the death of Caesar In the follow
ing manner:
"Britons. hungry men and epicures!
Hear me for my cause. and be silent
that you may hear: believe me fos
mine honor. and have respect to mine
honor that you may believe: censurs
me in your wisdom and awake your
senses that you may the better Judge.
II there be any in this assembly, any
dear friend of this hare, to him I say
that a players love for hare is no less
than his. If, then, that friend demand
why a player rose against hare, this
is my answer: Not that loved hare
less, but I loved eating more. Had
you rather this hare were living. and
I had died starving, than that this
hare were dead that / might live, q
Jolly fellow? AS this hare was pretty,
| weep for him; as he was nimble,
rejoice at it; as he was plump, honor
him; but as he was eatable, slew
him"
Here the gravity Of the court was
obliged to give way; prosecutors. spec
tators. bench and all burst into laugh
ter. and in the end the prosecution was
withdrawn.

ouIETING ATMOSPHERE
New York Gains the Turbulent Gun
Fighter from the Arizona
Desert.

On. west they wouldn't call him a bad
man. although he had several notches On
his gun to record the fact that 1t tunes ne
had felt it necessary to kill an enemy.
He had become rich through his mine
discoveries. and came to New YORK occa-
sionally for business reasons, relates the
New York Sun.
When here he dressed quietly, but IN
good taste, and he looked like broker.
He stopped at the Waldorf ana ne eA-
planned it to friend:
1--WE lived SO long in the Arizona des-
ert that love it. am fascinated With
II. Nowhere else would live. am
victim of the desert fever.
II stop here because l am so lonely.
I am in another kind of desert, that Is
all. am almost as remote from the
world here as would be out in the des-
ert.
Nobody knows me, nobody speaks to
me, and do as please. look at these
men and these women and then | long
for Arizona.
"Give me this desert when am in New
York. 1t makes me want to get back
to the real desert of sand and sagebrush,
which is home"
One night this man strolled into the
cafe of the Waldorf and his eye lighted
on a group of men at table.
Talking money and money making
sckemes!" he muttered. That's all
they do here"
Then he stopped short and his face
flushed. In the group was promoter
with whom five years before he had had
a difference in the west. The promoter
had found it convenient to leave the re-
gion hastily. He feared the bad mans
gun.
The man from the desert bit his lips,
then he recovered himself quickly and
smiled. He hunted up Detective Smith
of the hotel, and said:
Smith, come here"
He took Smith to the door of the cafe,
and. pointing to his former enemy, said:
ITS queer the effect of what you call
civilization has on a man. Here, put
your hand on my pocket. You feel a
loaded revolver. There sits man have
sworn to kill.
IF he was out in my country now and
I should meet him face to face could
kill him and nothing would be done
about it. l would be praised for it, and
every one would say he had got just
what was coming to him by rights.
Don't be alarmed. / would no more
shoot that man in New York than !
would commit suicide. He is absolutely
safe from me-
Il never would have believed that sur
roundings would have had such an effect
on me- 1t isn't fear of the law that keeps
me from shooting him. have gone into
what seemed certain death many time
fearlessly. simply don't want to kill
him now.
1T isn't the thing 70 do in New York,
that's all. Seeing him has this effect on
me. however. I want to get back to the
old desert again. AS soon as I reach
there I'll want to kill him again.
"And III do it il ever meet him out
there"
Then he went to the desk and paid his
bill. That night he left for Arizona

It may be said that right here is slipping through
the hands of the church great moral opportunity.

1t is the duty of the church eradicate the impression

The church no longer processes to minister to
