A DELIBERATE MAN.

lie Ate His Fall Dinner and CauGh;
the StaGe ns Well.
Charles Stuart, one time Senator from
Michigan, was travelling by stage
through his own stn,e. The weather
was bitterly cold. the snow deep. the
roads practically u%nbroken. The stage
was nearly one hour late at the dinner
station. everybody was more or less
cross and in q hurry and the situation
uncomfortable to the last degree.
Senator Start sat down to his din
ler with his usual deliberation. not
Uithstanding the word that was pass
ed around, Fifteen minutes for re-
freshments."
When he had finished his first cup of
coffee the passengers were leaving the
table. BY the time the second cup ar
rived the stage was at the door. "All
aboard." shouted the driver. The SEN
ator fingered and called for a third cup
of coffee. The crowd laughed AMI
fung back chaff at the deliberate man
at the table.
While the household. as was the Gus
tom. assembled at the door to see the
stage Grive away. the senator contin-
ued calmly drinking his coffee. Sud
denly. just as the stage started. there
was a violent pounding on the dining
room table. and the landlord hurried
in. to find that the senator wanted a
dish of rice padding. When it came
he called for a spoon, but there wasn't
d spoon to be found.
That shock headed fellow took 'em:
l thought he was a crookw exclaimed
the landlady.
The landlord jumped at the same
conclusion.
Hustle after that stage: bring 'em
all back" he shouted TO the sheriff
who was untying his horse from the
rail in front of the tavern.
A few monrtes later the stage. in
charge of the sheriff. swung around in
front of the house. The driver was IL

AS each member Of our little family grew old
enough to enjoy it, we began reading aloud to
them simple stories and poems, with just enough
explanation to arouse imagination and humor.
We read Eugene Fields poems, the Bible stories
and Mrs. Abby Morton Diaz's Incompatible
stories. A little later came Hawthorne's "Tangle-
wood Tales" and Grimm's "Fairy-Tales," "Alice
in Wonderland" "Uncle Remus," and all the
fairy-lore which children love. Soon they learned
to read for themselves without help or urging.
AS the years passed we put within their reach the
books we wished them to read, and without seem
ing to do so, excluded all others. In the winter
they read the books at hand over and over, and in
our summer home took up another set which we
left there. Thus twice a year the old books we're
read with all the freshness of new ones, until
the children were so familiar with them that they
were able to reEeat whole paragraphs at a time.
1t eight years of age they entered school, and
were then ready to read any book, which would be
placed in the hands of a child. Their memories
are good and their interest keen.-November

Expecting Too u

Indeed. there is not one unkindly or fault-hnd-

Remus's writings. Though brought up In the
South in war time, and though he saw much OF
the terrible bitterness and desolatlon caused by
the ravages of the victorious Union Army there
is nowhere in his work so much as a touch OF sec
tional hatred. Many of his stories deal with the
troublesome days of civil discord, and yet all
tend to heal and soothe the bitterness between
North and South.

THE HOME CIRCLE
A Storm I'm the Distance

I see the cloud-born squadrons of the gale,
Their lines of rain like glittering spears de-
prest,
While all the affrighted land grows darky pale
In flashing charge on earth's half-shielded
breast.
Sounds like the rush of trampling columns float
From that fierce conflict; volleyed thunders
peal,
Blent with the maddened winds wild bugle-note;
The hghtnings flash, the solid woodlands reel!
Hai many a foliaged guardian of the height,
Majestic pine or chestnut, riven and bare,
Falls in the rage of that aerial fight,
Led by the Prince of all the Powers of air!
Vast boughs like shattered banners hurtling fly
Down the thick tumult: while, like emerald
snow,
Millions of orphaned leaves make wild the sky,
Or drift in shuddering helplessness below.
Still, still, the levelled lances of the rain
At earth's half-shielded breast take gllttering
aim;
All space is rife with fury, racked with pain,
Earth bathed in vapor, and heaven rent by
flame!
At last the cloud-battalions through long riffs
Of luminous mists retire the strife is done,
And earth once more her wounded beauty lifts,
To meet the healing kisses of the sun.
Paul Hamilton Hayne.

He Suffered No Ill Effects.

DR.. Edward Hale tells a story of a New York
clergyman who had received a call to a fashionable
suburb of Boston. A gentleman who had in his
employ two English grooms accidently overheard
the following conversation between the two SER
wants.
1t appears that the first groom, who had for
some time been endeavoring to get the second
groom to attend service at the church presided
over by the New York clergyman, said:
"Didn you like the sermonw

chin + ;s becarse the Nation has been Industrious
and frugal and has not held back it's hand from
danger and toll.
But there are other and deeper causes Tor
thanksgiving, and these are clearly seen only When
behind the general thanksgiving men offer up TO
God their heartfelt thanks for those conditions
which provide for the growth of the spirit IN
freedom and power. "Consider in detail" writes
St. Francis, show good and gracious God has
been to you" Deeper than all other reasons tor
thanksgiving is the nature of God. Since lie IS
what He is, all life takes on a joyful meaning, IN
the light of which hope shines through sorrow,
and trial becomes a way of strength, and work a
spiritual opportunity, and death holds IN It's
hands the lamp of Immortality. Because God is
love, every mans sins are punished; because God
is merciful, the easy road to corruption is set
thick with difficulties; because God watches over
them, men who have gone astray are suddenly
discovered in their iniquities; because God will
accept nothing ultimately but the best in every
human soul, the discipline of life is searching,
the burdens of life heavy, the disappointments of
life manifold. Because God would make us like
Himself, life is one long, severe, exacting educa-
ton. Because we are immortal, we are never per-
mitted to rest in mortal conditions, to find sat
~isfaction with mortal possessions, to secure con-
tent in this mortal life.
Above and below gratitude for pleasant paths
and fertile fields and surcease of great anxieties
there ought to be JOY unspeakable in that gift of
spiritual life which transforms this changing
life, turns its apparent universities into blessings,
its burdens into sources of strength, it's bitter
~partings into prophecies of blissful reunions. Let
every man search his heart and his life and "con-
slider in detail how good and gracious God has

"When a man is wrong, he is more wrong than
he knows" Think of this the next time you are
on a through train that does not go through be-
cause it was late somewhere. Instead of making
up time, it continues to lose it. Local trains have
now its right of way, and block signals hold it up
remorselessly. All things seem to conspire against
it. Let the virtue of being on time shine in a new

Rafford Pyke has not much use for the man
nish type of girl that is so much in evidence to-
day, and he has written a very clever essay in the
November Cosmopolitan" to uphold his OPINION.
"When a woman seeks to cultivate them" he
saws, speaking of a~udacity, self-confdence. ag-
gressiveness, push and other masculine traits.
Gust because she likes them in a man, she does
so at the expense of other of other and, to her,
far more valuable elements of character, and even
they fail her and defeat her purpose. Each sex
has its own gifts, and each should be content with
what it has and should give over borrowing from
the other"
