LITTLE TONNES SWEAR OFFS,

Mamma ! want to swear off from a whole
lot OF naughty things that I've been doing all last
year. and l want to be good boy sure this wear
declared little I-year-old Tom Manning with the
deep glow of determination in his little manly face
as he stood beside his mamma with his dimnled
hand on her shoulder. She was sitting in the parlor
on New Years morning il the great rocker which
papa had given her for Christmas. and she turned
win motherly pride to look AT her brave little son
who was SO determined to bea good boy
4 am glad to hear YOU sag tiat you want to
SWeSar OFT from so many naughty things, Tommc
but at the end of the year will be better pleased if
You have kept your promises, kindly remarked The
mother, as she smoothed his disordercd hair with
her thin white hands
I'll keep EN- all" stoutly responded Tommic,
his blue eyes flashing with his determination
hen Iommie's mother smiled and injured
w hat do you want to swear off from. Tomme ~
lommle grew very grave looking and began to
slowly tell the evil things he wished to quit.
/ don want to steal jam any more nor peanuts
from the Dago's stand,nor pull Fdo's tail nor make
fun ct Uncle Dan cause he amt got any teeth nor
say NO. no when mamma calls me from play, nor
cry when papa says Go to bedu nor"
j. hat will do Tommie. Let us see what we can
do with the promises you have mentioned. Let Us
trst talk OF the promises you made last New Years
day. How many did ,Su make then and how many
have you kept!'
When Tommie's mother asked these questions.
ollnle hung his curly head and she soon knew that
he was crying. She did try to stop him, but
waited until he stopped, and then he put his arms
about her neck and whispered to her:
Il made all these promises last year and | didn't
keep one"
Il know that. my little boy, and l wanted TO let
YOU know SO that you might off less this year
and try to accomplish more"
"I'll do just what you tell me. mamma What
swear-offs will / make!"
"Well, Tommie. don't steal from anybody and
don't call the man that sells peanuts Dago. Call
him by his own name. 1t is disrespectful for you
to call him Dago."
viii ! call him Dan! That's his name
yes. Tommie; Dan is better than Dago. and
try to obey mamma and papa and l will excuse you
from all other promises, while hope you may lose,
during the year, all your faults
Tomnlie promised to off to the limit set
by his mamma, and he felt very sorry that he had
not kept some of last years promises.
But after little Tommie often thought of
what his mother said about not keeping his prom
ises, and say that he really did keep the few
swear-offs he made. 1t is better to make few
promises and keep them than to make many and
keep none.-New World.

Kaiser WilheIm's Sermon.

While William II, emperor of Germany, has
tributed materially to the gayety OF nations during
his reign, he has many times given expression to
very sane and wholesome ideas. On the occasion
of the combinations OF his two sons, Prince August
Wilhelm and Prince. Oscar. he preached an adj
mirable sermon, containing much sound and prac-
teal advice to young men. He urged upon them
the constant development of character and the
siduous cultivation of virtue. His concluding words
were these:
I'm all the troubles and trials of life. you must
look to Christ. Your conscience will tell you what
he would have you do. In the end ne is the only
helper"
These words of the kaiser's might well be taken
heart by prince and peasant alike, for they con-
tain the essence of the truly religious ife.7-New

AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

Dear Nieces and Nephews-Amt Busy would
like TO hear from some of her dear old friends who
used TO write faithfully. She has not heard from
Park City neice or nephew for ages: the Eureka
girls and boys have quite forgotten her: the Wyom

little "clam diggers" must have dropped into the
Pacific ocean; the Montana children never think
OF the poor old woman, Aunt Busy; the Nevada
children never did pay much attention TO her any
how; the Colorado neices and nephews are neglect
ing her of late, too; the little Omaha children do
not write very often; the dear Ogden children are
feally the only comfort of her poor old heart The
Eat Lake girls and boys neglect her, too, but still

DOG HEARD IN HIS OWN DEFENSE.

In one of the Prague district courts recently, "a
foreman named Dastych sued a manufacturer
named Weinwert alleging the latter's dog had bitten
him, thereby rendering him for sometime unfit for
work. The dog produced in court, and the
services Of veterinary surgeon were requistioned
as expert evidence.
Herr Desensy, in the presence Of the judge, did
his utmost to irritate the dog, and struck it.
but all to no purpose. The dog remained calm, and
finally, finding the proceeding monotonous, crept
under stool.

A new corset has twelve inch clasp
with the material extending below il
for several inches. Over the hips the
depth from the waist line to the lower
edge is sixteen inches. This section Of
the corset is boned with fine single
whalebones. From the waist up the
corset is formed of four horizontal
shaped bands, ranging from one inch
and three-quarters to three inches wide
the upper band being finished at the
top by plated net lace. This is espe-
cially adapted to long wasted, full
figures. Many, and in fact most. OF
the new corset models show the higher
bust line, but not over an inch higher
with the dip as deep as ever below the
waist line.
