Flowers and Character.

That which surrounds lis forms our
character. II we live in the midst Of
filth We cannot keep 1t secret. The
world turns its knowing eye on us,
lokos beneath the surface, sees our
inner selves. our degraded minds and
our cold. cruel hearts.
II we live surrounded by the beau
ties OF life. the world knows, too. Our
hearts grow kind and sympathetic and
our thoughts high and pure.
We all know that this is true. Then
Ia it not our plain duty to surround
our little children with every lovable,
uplifting thing the world affords? Is
it not onr duty to ourselves to sur
round ourselves with everything
which will refine our thoughts and
help to form within us IN admira bic
character? We owe 1t to our children,
to ourselves and to society.
Probably the purest and most beau
tiful things on earth are flowers. Can
you not imagine character grown
in the midst Of garden Of flowers?

Avoid a ScoWl.


A sour countenance is inexcusab!e
in man or woman. An habitual scowl
betokens ill-temper; but suppose 1t
may not be the result OF any ill-feel-
ing or badness of heart, 1t Ia useless
and worse than useless. Besides. Its
effect upon others is unpleasant. not
to say contagious. 1t Is hurtful to
children; but perhaps Its worst effect
is upon the person himself. Instead
of dra wing people to him In way to
open their hearts and minds, 1t repels
them. In word, 1t Is the opposite
Of tactfulness and is bad for either
business or social influence.
In this connection We may quote,
with reference to the reaction upon
ones self Of cross look, from a
writer in Woman's Home Companion,
which has reference to a pleasant
voice as well as looks:
"'As man thinketh IN his heart,
so IL he And. conversely. az man
appears to be, so will he think in his
heart. In other words, IL one Is happy
and cheerful and kind, he will smile.
he will speak cheeringly, he will do
acts Of kindness. On the other hand,
and this is Just as important, to smile
and to speak quietly and in a kindly
tone even IL one feels unhappy or
angry or discouraged ut the moment.
10 reacts on the mans inner being
that he begins to feel what he has
simulated This IL good thought,
| and 1t points to plain duty. We
| should never allow ourselves to ex-
press Outwardly by word or by look
any unkind or unhappy thought or
feeling. To do 40 is only to tend and
foster that feeling. to make 1t grow
and get final hold on the character.
But by affecting the helpful virtues
we will dwarf. and finally pluck out
altogether the evil in our nature, and
we become in character the good
things we have caused to appear In
our countenances and In our voices"

In her woman's heart was poem,
A grand and tender song.
A word Of hope for the weary.
A stern rebuke to the wrong;
1t often pleaded for utterance.
For voice to reach the world.
To be raised where all might heed 1t,
A banner of love unfuried!
But she never found the moment,
With days so full Of care.
To breathe out the burning heart-words
Of her poem nesting there.
There were always household duties.

Not one had wandered astray.

A pure and shining page.

More grand than seer or sage;

Striving not for earth's renown.

and cleaned up with unusual care, might
have been seen ascending the dingy stair

Presenting himself in the clerks office,
he inquired il either OF the principals
was disengaged. As it happened. both
were disengaged. His name was taken
in. and Immediately afterwards the mes
senger came back to announce that
Messrs. Fogle 4 Quick would see him.
He was ushered into an inner room
where he found himself in the presence
Of two dry. taciturn-looking gentlemen
| Of some fifty to sixty years Of age. Mr.
Montgomery placed himself in such a
position that no ray of light should fall
upon his face. His voice. too would
have sounded strange. feigned, in the
ears Of those familiar with its usual
tones.
Mr.. Fogle demanded his business in
the tone Of a man with whom time is
money, while Mr.. Quick continued his
examination Of box of deeds. after

AMERICAN ARCHERY SCORES,


Best of Reasons Why England HoIds
UnequaIed Records in This sport.
The scores made by American arch
ers have never equaled the best Eng
lish scores, for the sufficient reason
that the sport has never been practiced
in this country to the same extent,
either In point Of time or in the num-
her of those who engage In It. as in
England, where for more than cen
fury past target shooting has been
steadily and consistently pursued by
gentlemen of leisure and by ladies'.
who have developed a high degree of
skill. There have. however. been some
very credltable American scores. The
best American score at national
meeting, made by Col. Robert Will
liams, Jr.. at Eaton, Ohio, in 1895. at
the double York round G'!R5, Is bare
ly short Of the 1000 mark which IL al
ways classed as notable score by
English archers. The American cham
pionship scores made at the national
meetings have usually ranged between
GOO and 800. In 1903 the score was
653: in 1902. COZ. l.. w. Maxwells
six championship scores have ranged
from I13 to 1856 W. II. Thompson s
best championship score is 76O Col.
Williams has twice exceeded score Of
800 at a national meeting
1t seems needless to say that Amer
leans. If they choose to apply theta
selves, could excel In archery. Marks
manship Is an instinct with America ms.
and. with natural aptness. all that is
further necessary is pc : aring prac-
tice and observation of the new funda-
mental rules which govern correct
method. The requirements for good
archer. AS stated by Ascham. are apt
ness, knowledge and use. Century.
