B.pE YOUR TINE.

When fortune treats you slightingly
And everything goes wrong.
Remember that you still are tree
To labor and be strong.
To him who bravery does his part
Misfortune is no crime.
Just hold your grip and keep up heart
And learn to bide your time.
The surest road to greatness hes
Through hard and patient work.
The glorious name that never dies
Comes not unto the shlrk.
Fame sits upon an emlnence,
A pinnacle sublime.
He who would win must seek her thence,
Strive on and bide his time.
The man of hope and energy,
Who keeps one goal in sight,
Who goes his way with c~onstancy,
Will some lime win the fight.
The man whose life a glory lends
To every age and cline
Is he whose purpose never bends,
Who works and bides his time.
Go onward. Ger the futures hills
The dawn falls cool and sweet.
Go onward. He can win who wills
And bows not to defeat.
Go onward though your path may lie
Through calumny and slime.
The way will brighten by and by.
Go on and bide your time.
And when the fight at last is DER,
The toll at last is done;
When standing on LIES farther shore,
Beneath her setting sun;
Beyond the futures unbarred gate,
The bells of heaven chime;
And justice, love, and glory wait
For him who bides his time.

How Bookseller Gives AWAY Koran.

A writer spent much of his early
life in Turkey observed that Turkish
books and booksellers were among
the curious features of the country.
The Turkish bookseller" he said,
has a soul above trade. He rarely
or never attempts to push his wares,
and treasures some of his more valu-
able books SO greatly that he can hard
ly be induced to sell them, although
they form part of his stock in trade.
Many Of the books displayed by the
bookseller are in manuscript, which
the olG-fashioned Turks esteem more
highly than print. The Koran he may
not sell. He gives it away-in return
for q present of its value in money

Floating Postomce

In Lake Wabigoon, Ontario. Canada,
at a point where the water is not very
deep, a strong wooden stake has been
driven into the ground. On the top a
box has been securely fastened, and
there. you have the Lake Wabigoon

The Clerk Made q Slight Mistake.

1t is occasionally difficult to realize
that a mar is deaf till something sud-
denly makes us apprehend it. 1 think
of the clerk of a country church who
was once much exercised at the appear
anc of a strange old gentleman who
when the sermon was about to begin,
took a trumpet Tin two parts out of
his pocket and began screwing them
together. The clerk watched him until
the process was completed, and then,
going stealthily up, whispered: "Yeow
carn't play that here. Do, I'll turn yo'
out."-Cornhill Magazine.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

bylocal applications as they cannot reachth
diseased portion ofthe ear. Therei is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by consti-
~tutionnl remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inlamed condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumblingsound orimper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an
iniamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
