"John Coyle our 9roceryman, is doing poor
business. His store is dirty, dusty and noxiously
odoriferous. How can he expect to do much? ?'

Bridge.

Among forms of gambling bridge has certain
special features. 1t opens to many persons, espe
cially women, an excitement which they would not
deem it right to seek in other kinds of gambling
The game has subsidized slightly, if at all, in the
larger Cities and in spreading rapidly in the coun
try where it brings the delights of dissipation to
the humblest household Potent indeed is fashion,
Many bridge fend would think it evil to play
poker for money. LII some games betting is
subsidiary attraction but in bridge it is the basis
of the charm. Ladies acquire that diseased
restlessness known as "the gamblers eye" Moth
ing" said Addison, "wears out fine face like the
vigls of the cardtable and those cutting passions
which attend them," and we have often felt as he
did that cit is wonderful to persons of sense
passing away a dozen hours together in shutting
and dividing pack of cards." However, the only
use that many people can make of time to seek
modes of killing it. For this purpose, gambling
is as good as drunkenness. "a gamester," said
Bacon, "the greater master he is in his art, the
worse man he is" There are occupations in which
skill and pleasure acquired with less encour-
agement than gambling gives to all the worst at
tributes of man.-Collier's Weekly.

Kissing Mother.

A father. talking to his careless daughter. said
"I want to speak to you about your mother. II
NAV be that you have noticed care-worn lock
upon her face lately Of course, it has not been
brought there by any act of yours, still 1T is your
duty to chase it away. l want you to get up
tomorrow morning and get breakfast; and when
YOUR mother comes in and begins to express her
surprise, go right UP to her and kiss her on the
mouth and you can't imagine how it will brighten
her dear face.
Besides. you owe her kiss or two. Away
back when you we're little girl, she kissed you
when no one else was tempted by your fever-taint-
ed breath and swollen face lou were not as at
tractive then as you now. And through those
years of childish sunshine and shadows she was
mothers kiss the little, dirty, chubby hands when
ever they were injured in those skirmishes with
the rough old world. And then the midnight
kisses with which she routed many bad dreams
as she leaned above your pillow, have all been on
interest these long, long years.
"Of course, she is not so pretty and klssable
as you are; but if you had done your share of the
work during the past ten years, the contrast
would not be so marked. Her face has more
wrinkles than yours and yet if you were sick that
face would appear more beautiful than an angels
as it hovered to minister to your comfort, and
every one of those wrinkles would seem to be
bright wavelets of sunshine chasing each other
over the dear old face
"She will leave you one of these days. These
burdens, If not lifted from her shoulders, will
break her down. Those rough, hard hands, that
be crossed upon her lifeless breast Those neg
lected lips that gave you your first baby kiss will
be forever closed and those sad, tired eyes will
have opened in eternity, and then you will appre

Cash or Character.

There is an old English fable about bare
footed boy who, while walking along the highway,
in the dust bit of gold. So aroused was he
by this piece of good fortune that all the rest
of his life, he walked along good old age and
accumulated quite fortune but he never saw the
stars at night, the sun, clouds of noon
wayside and in the meadows; he did not see the
mountains. the rivers. the lakes the trees or the
birds. All that life meant to him dusty road
where, ever and anon among the dirt was to be
found piece of silver or gold. Life should
mean far more than that There is something
vastly nobler and higher to be sought than mere
gold and that is character is unsullied, mind
that is pure, and heart that is free from sin.
One great fallacy connected with the idea of
wealth is that in and of itself it brings happi-
ness. There is question but that with money,
may secure many things that contribute to
our ease and happiness. Where people do not
