THE HUMAN HARP.
It 11as Many Strings and Gives Forth
Sweet Melodies as Well as Dis
". cordant Sounds.

Human life might appropriately be
denominated a harp of many strings,
visible and invisible, capable of giving
forth sweetest melodies, or, if out of
tune, discordant sounds. These strings
are visible and invisible. The invisi.
BILE strings are those of the senses, the
eye, ear, ETC., upon which the divine
musician plays indirectly through the
medium of our natural environment.
When properly attuned, there are pre-
sented to us visions of fragrant flow.

A PREACHERS WIFE.

No, she isn't prim and proper,
And she doesn't care copper
What they say.
She's so innocent of wrong,
And so full of laugh and song, "
That she's happy all day, long
On her way. -.
She's as fond Of pretty dresses -
And of kisses and caresses
AS child; -
But she has lot of sense,
And she doesn't take offense,
And she sizes up pretense
~. Unbeguiled.
She doesn't babble French or German,
But she understands a sermon,
And she knows
When her praise is balm and crown,
When the preacher needs frown,
And just how to callthim down
In hard prose.
She's no zealor or fanatic
She doesn't have to wax esctatic
TO be good;
She's a woman through and through,
Sweet. and sensible, and true,
Whose religion is to do
What she should.
She's not fond of public speaking,
And she's not bit selfseeking,
Hers to be
Not the leader in the strife,
But a happy. helpful wife,
Quite content to live her life
Full and free
I'm not sure that she's ideal,
But what's better far, she's real,
And intact;
She's no figment of dream,
No imaginative scheme, e
Nor poets IDLE theme,
She's a fact.

Curious Natural Brushes. These

These curious natural made brushes
are only locally known and are occas-

brush trade. No attempt has ever
been made to establish any industry in
them. Yet they are possibly the

big dog, Bill, had been locked up in the

Funke opened the door the dog refused
to let him in and, not satisfied with
keeping him out, also tried to use his
teeth on him. After getting out onto
the sidewalk Bill became friendly and
wagged his tail but still frustrated any
attempt Of Mr.. Funke to get into the

to call Mr.. Farnsworth 70 get the dog
