ONE OF THOSE LODGE STORIES.
A. r. Talbot who delivered an address
before the Modern Woodmen of this city,
last month";, told the following story in
the course of his remarks: "A young
friend of mine in Lincoln was married
sometime ago and he had to live with his
mOther-in-law, which is the case quite
often with young men nowadays. Very
often the young man became sorely per
picked in the attempt to give her some
suitable name. He didn't care tC call
her anything bad nor anything too en-
dearing. SO one day he stepped into my
office and said: Mr. Talbot, what did
you call your mother-in-law when you
were first married? Whenever / speak
to mine l am up q stump as to what to
name her.
Il replied that that was rather a diff
cult matter to solve. Yes said the
young man, If l call her mother, I don't
feel just right. and to call her by her
first name would be odd to me, and there
you are
Il tried to console the young man, but
there was nothing that would settle him
except TO get the desired information.
Finally thought came into my memory
of the days when /, too. lived with nv
mother-in-law. Again the young man
grew inquisitive and anxious. Well said
l, as we'll rs l can now remember is that
after the first twelve months / always
called her Grandma. and the name
pleased her. The young man went home
rejoicing"

MY WORK.

Let me but do my work from day to day.
In field or forest at the desk loom,
In roaring market place, tranquil room
Let but find it in my heart TO say,
When vagrant wishes beckOn me astray-
This is my work; my blessing, not my doom.
Of all who live. l am the by whom
This work can best be done, in the right way"
Then shall I see it not too great, nor small,
To suit my spirit and to prove my powers;
Then shall l cheerful greet the laboring hours,
And cheerful turn. when the long shadows fall
At eventide to play and love and rest,
Because I know for me my work is best
