AUNT BUSY EAs HER SAY.

Dear Nieces and Neplxws:
Aunt Busy does not want to preach" because
YOU already know her opinion of preaching" too
much. But she wants to write little reminder
TO her dear young friends.
There are many rules for conduct in the school
room that you expected to follow and Aunt
Busy thinks the first rule should be this: "Pupilss
are expected to always say pleasant Good morn
ing to their teachers" Now, Aunt Busy feels
very sure that all the children follow this custom:
but IN case some should forget, she thinks it well
10 write a few words on the subject Nothing
starts the day peacefully and happily as a cheer
tul salutaton in the morning. No matter how
many memories of the troubles OF the previous dav
remain in the mind, even if the coming DAYS les
sons are not yet fully understood or prepared. do
say bright, CHEEKY "Good morning. and see how
much brighter life will seem.
Aunt Busy once knew dear little boy whose
sunshlny disposition the friendship and love
Of all who knew him. One of his best traits of
character was to have a CHEEKY word of greeting
Tor anyone he knew. While spending his summer
vacation in the canyons five years ago he was acct
dentaly shot, and fingered in great suffering for
many days But through the many hours of pain
the sweetness of his sunny nature never left him
Early one bright summer morning he went to
rest forever. A few minutes before he died the
doctor, on entering the room, received from the
little lad CHEEKY Good morning" and his last
words to his father were, Good morning papa"
Dear, brave little man. Aunt Busy likes to
think that the baby angels met the sunny-faced boy
al the heavenly gates and all went together happy
band, to the presence of God and His tender
Mother to say Good morning" lovingly. dear
children, your devoted AUNT BUSY

FRIENDS OF THE DAG

-Four boys, averaging about 10 years of age,
lately trudged into the office of the city treasurer
and tax collector leading with them timid canine
"a black and white water spaniel One of the
boys, who acted as spokesman, raised himself on
tip toe, looked over the counter and asked:
icenses!"
'Ies, my lad" was the reply.
well, you see, it's this wayne want a IL
cense tag for this dog. He amt got no home and
we've adopted him. We've named him Jack"
Upon inquiry it learned that the dog had
been wandering around in the neighborhood for the
past two weeks, and that the poundman had made
several unsuccessful attempts to catch the name
less canine, but the boys with whom the animal
had made friends could handle him at will Finally
they took pity upon Jack because of the scares the
poundman gave him. and raised $50 among the
boys of the ncighborhood with which to buy IL
cense tag for the canine.

PROVED THE TEACHER UNrRU THFuL.

Little Wilics teacher had been giving the
children daily talks natural history, each day
taking up some animal and telling all she knew
about it. On the day in question she talked about
rabbits Willie had rabbit of his own, and that
afternoon when he got home he took it-out of its
hutch, Holding it by the ears at arms length III
front of him, and assuming the manner of the
pedagogue, he questioned stcrnly:
''Sevcn times seven"
No response from the rabbit.
Six times six?n he demanded, shaking the rab-
bit roughly.
Still no response.
''Now, III give you an easy one, Five times
FIVE"
And still the rabbit stared without response.
Willie threw him down in disgust. Il knew
that dern teacher was lying" said he. "She said
rabbits was the greatest muItipliers in the world"

Ex-senator Henry G, Davis, within the hour
of his nomination for vice president was sought
out by correspondent for a newspaper that has a

Colonel Grandprey, French military at
tache in Pekin, gives some very interesting nforma
ton regarding the Chinese army in the Revue de
Paris. lie says that few countries have such excel
lent material as China for an army, where the
whole population of 420,00O,00O consists, so to
speak, of one people, displaying the same racial
qualities. The Chinese is long lived and tenacious
of life He thrives in every climate in spite of the
heat or cold, is extremely thrifty and therefore
easily supported. He has nerves of steel, he can
sleep in any position and any place. and do with
minimum OF sleep. He seldom needs a doctor
and bears pain with the greatest stoicism. The
Chinese is very teachable, and what he has once
been taught he never forgets London Globe.

A BUDGET OF MAxrMs.

Rather than say nothing, men are cintent to
speak i'll of themselves
A proud man can never be loser; no, not even
when he renounces his pride.
1t is much less for a mans honor to dstrust
his friends than be deceived by them.
Few people have the wisdom to like reproofs
that would do them good better than praises that
do them hurt
1t is with true love, as with ghosts and appari-
tions, thing that everybody talks of and scarce
anybody hath seen.
The most disintereste dIove is, after all, butt
kind of bargain in which the dear love of our own
selves always proposes to be the gamer some way

DIFFERENT WAYS OF LYING.

There a thousand ways of lying, but all lead
to the same end says Success. 1t does not matter
whether you les tell les act lies or live lies
your character is ruined all the same.
There is no more demoralizng influence in
modern life than the unnatural straining to seem
other than Nothing else so quickly lowers
self-respect, takes the fine edge off honor and
blunts the conscience as the sense of being sham,
a gilded fraud or unhealthy 1t cheapens stand

spring and JOY out of living. No man can make
