BULLET HOLE BUBBLES.

Tn the curio dealers private office lay a half dozen shabby pocket Bibles. each pierced two-thirds through with a round hole, like bullet hole.
 They are bullet holes" said the dealer. "I know they are, because made them myself"
 He gave a loud laugh.
 "A good many of my rich patrons. g he said. like to have among their heir looms Bibles that have saved some sol- dier ancestors life"
 He winked-

 This Bible saved the life of my maternal sixty-third cousin, Colonel Adoniram McGiII. in the night attack upon the British. led by General Jones at Bear Greek. on the 3d day of Au- gust and 30 forth, and so on"
 Yes said the dealer. 'T sell a good many of these Bibles to people with ancestors To own such things is one of the fads and fancies of the smart set Louisville Courier-Journal.

stTenoth of Mussels

You must. some time, try to open the shell of a fresh water mussel or a sea clam. You will find one the size of your hand has great strength, although both his muscles may not be larger than those of one of your fingers. I have often seen boy pick up a mussel and insert his fingers before the shell was quite closed, thinking he would open it again. Few boys can succeed. They usually have hard pulling to get their fingers free. A big mussel can bite hard. Were it not that the edge of the shell. in big specimens. Is smooth and thick, a boy might get his fingers cut to the bone.-st Nicholas.

flower white, fragrant, satisfying You could not see yesterday, but you see to-day. You had no vocabulary last week, but words crowd on you now.
 A girl know was studying new language. She kept wailing over and over: q have no words. have no words. have to find out every word want in the lexicon. It is an end less task. I shall never understand, never catch up."
 All at once, words began meeting her with friendly faces. They were no longer strangers. She knew their infections, their cadences; the vocab- ulary of another language was her own. Hard work had brought it's re- ward. Never" is word to be turned away from ones door. There need be no such word.
 School honors and prizes are worth striving for. The girl who can win her teachers approval is always en- viable. But on the whole, the dull girl who wins it with effort is more enviable than the bright one who did not try hard. And I believe that it is much more pleasant to have the full approval of one's personal conscience. to know that let happen what may, one has done ones very best, than to carry off marks and medals and cer- tificates.
 Some of you are handicapped by having too many studies at one and the same time. It is unwise to att tempt too much. If the class work in- cludes more lessons than you can as- simulate, ask to have some of them dropped. Teachers are willing to aid an earnest pupil who is doing what she can to overcome her own deficien- cies. But if you drop something, let it be the thing you are fond of, not the thing you dislike. The study you care for may be taken up at any time in the future. The other must be faced and conquered now, or it will never give you the joy of victory. Yes, love the youthful winner,
 With the medal and the mark; He has gained the prize he sought for He is joyous as a lark. Every one will haste to praise him;
 He is on the honor list I've a tender thought, my darlings. For the one who tried, and missed. One? An, me! they count by thou
 sands,
 Those who have not gained the race, Though they did their best and fair
 est,
 Striving for the winners place. Only few can reach the laurel;
 Many see their chance fit by. I've a tender thought, my darlings, For the earnest band who try. Iris the trying that is noble,
 If you're made of sterner stuff Than the laggards who are daunted When the bit of road is rough. All will praise the happy winners; But when they have hurried by, I've a song to cheer, my darlings, The great company who try. Il

As Russell Sage has expressed the desire to live to be 100 years old and see Missouri Pacific sell at $2O0 per share, it can be readily seen what kind of a non-sage man the ancient financier is and what his ideals of life are. They evidently do not rise much above a money chest.

SERCH US,

Brother Moody, of the Sturgis
Record asks, Is it shenanegan, graft
or simply misunderstanding? ct"
refers to the following:
Last month G. p. Meyer was
notified that he had been awarded
the contract for furnishing oats at
Fort Meade. He had a contract for
one million, five hundred thousand
pounds. The award was made on
the 18th, and on the 29th a call was
made for delivery. This call was
immediately attended to, aud the
grain started in. They came a tele-
gram stating that delivery must be
held up. The oats were all contracted
for. In the mean time the Nye-Sch-
nader elevator company, which has
elevators all along the line from here
to Omaha, had u bid in tor nine cents
above Meycr-and TO be delivered at
tho Sturgis Northwestern railway
depot. This required a haul of over
two miles by government mule train
by the soldiers, and stacking up.
This didn't look quite right to the
Fort Meade authorities.
On July 10. CAST Monday another
call was made on Meyer for delivery

THE BEAUTY OF WOMAN

OF the writer to witness q happen
ing that will remain with
him always and at the time the
beauty Of women presented itself
most wildly to view.
1t was in large western city on a
trolley car. A crowd of young
ladies', evidently working girls,
going to a theatre seated them
selves IN the car. Silly nothings
we're whispered to each other and
remarks of the appearance OF the
passengers, perhaps, ere INDUCED
in.
At the next corner the conductor
helped o an old lady. Not so old
either after Il careful glance, but
stiff and rather heavily encountered.
The expression Of the haggard face
attracted ones attention, bcspeaking
poverty, abuse, hard toll and almost
unfOrgiveness. Once the face had
been q handsome one and could vet
be made so with proper care-the
hard lines smoothed away and the
half cynical dart of the eye as she
handed up her pennies, could be
done away with, for surely q good
mothers heart beat beneath the
torn and frayed jacket that covered
her shoulders.
The girls across the isle were
giggling and attracted the attention
of the old lady. Whatever the re-
mark, the Old lady heard it.
"Were ye LATIN at NEAR" spoke
the old lady.
A hush fell on the group and no
one answered.
She leaned for out in the isle and
repeated, "Were We lafin' at me-a?"
One young lady, a homely
young lady, arose and moved over
to the old lady. Everyone in the
car listened for a Smart" reply.
Yes,", said she, "we we're laugh
ing at you and we are sorry for it.
We were thoughtless and meant no
harm. Any of us would gladly and
willingly do anything in the world
to undue the sorrow we have caused
you. Our words were not spoken
from our hearts and we want YOU to

Tears ere in the old Iady's eyes

was so full she could not speak.
The hard lines of the face were gone
and as she drew q clean but worn
kerchief from her pocket, the young
lady stopped and kissed her.

there was balance Of s.. .s5s, 495 in the

Russia is no doubt bursting with treasure,
his palaces are'lined with gold and he lives

The treasury Of New jersey is bursting

filled? AS a matter of fact they are empty.
Most of the school boards OF the State are
borrowing money to pay their teachers.

in anticipation of taxes to pay current bills
