HOUSE MOTTOS

Dul III playing d DOlC lloIiI WSil, 10 q Nv
of cowboy philosophy that lends itself
to picturesque illustration, as for instance
a cowboy engraving the motto on a
board fence with bullets from his re-
volver.
Equally as effective are many OF the
audacious substitutions of the ingenious
motto maker, the travesty on the lnscrlp-
ton from an old tombstone
Life is no jest, and all things show it;
| thought SO once, and now l know it
being an example of this tendency to
paraphrase and distort, and when ap-
piled to its modern use, reads:
Marriage is no joke, and all things show it;
thought so once, and now know it.
President Roosevelt has unconsciously
contributed to the house motto, his
words on Strife y standing for the
earnestness and energy of the man him
self while also representing the most
frequently quoted of his many worthy
sayings. He says:
The law of worthy life is fundamentally the
law of strife. 1t is only through labor, painful
effort, by grim energy and resolute courage
that we move to better things.
The same in point of popularity are
the lines from his instructions ITO the
Boys of America y:
Of course what we have a right to expect
from the American boy is that he shall turn
out to be good American man. Now, the
chances are strong that he won't be much of
a man unless he is a good deal of a boy. He
must not be coward or a weallllng, bully,
a Shrk or prig. He must work hard and
play hard He must be Clean-minded and
Clean-lived, and able to hold his own under
all circumstances and against all comers 1t
is only on these conditions that he will grow
into the kind of man of whom America can
really be proud In life as in football game
the principle to follow is: Hit the line hard
don't foul and don't shirk. but hit the line
hard.
Among the inscriptions to cynics and
others, forming significant gifts, the
following are aprOpos:
All you who mean to lead happy life, first
learn to rule, and then to have wife.
Again, under the title of "a Timely
Hint" are the words:
If men were men, and women women,
And men less women, and women less men,
1t would by far be better then
For all of us poor mortais
A translation from the German, going
a step farther in the slandering of woman,
says:
Two men are supremely happy: the one who
is blind and cannot woman, and the one
who is deaf and cannot hear her.
A consensus of opinion among dealers
in house mottos ascribes the palm of
popularity to Robert Louis Stevenson,
his Morning and Evening Prayers >"
claiming first place among the numerous
extracts from his works. The former is:
The day returns and brings us the petty
round of irritating concerns and duties. Help
US to play the man, help us to perform them
with laughter and kind faces. let cheerfulness
abound with industry. Give us to go blithely
on our business all the day; bring us to our
resting beds weary and content and undis-
honored, and grant us in the end the gift of
sleep.
The following is the g Evening Prayer ::
We beseech Thee, Lord to behold with
favor Be patient still; suffer us awhile
longer to endure, and, if it may be, help us
fo do better Bless TO us our extraordinary

motto into popularity? Or is the hurried
life responsible for the fact that favorite
quotations are now framed and placed
in a convenient position, where, with the
man who could not take time to repeat
his prayers, we may point to them and
say: "Them's my sentiments 3!
Whatever may have been their origin,
they have grown to be thing to be
reckoned with in the trade, as may be
shown by the single illustration OF a
simple decorated print of Stevenson
Morning Prayer" three hundred thou
sand copies of which were sold in one
year.
Conspicuous among the quotations set
up into decorative devices for the child
room are Thomas Hoods words:
Here's body-there's bed
There's a pillow-here's headl
There's curtain-here's light!
There's a puff-and so goodnight
For the ha1f-grown child these lines are
appropriate
Success my boy, is the aim OF all;
But to live that life to the full
You want to get there through the door
marked Push,
And not through the door marked " Pull
Or the witty wisdom of Josh Billings:
Konsider the postage-stamp, my son. Its
usefulness konsists in its ability to stick to one
thing till it gets there.
A new version of the old taml1ar
PRAYER, Now | lay me down to sleep,
has been furnished by Theodore B.
Seward, who writes:
Now | lay me down to sleep;
| pray Thee, Lord. my soul to keep.
Thy love be with me through the night.
And bless me with the morning light.
Another bedroom motto full of sentl-
ment runs:
Rose dreamed she was a lily;
Lily dreamed she was a rose;
Robin dreamed he sparrow:
What the owl dreamed goodness knows.
But they all woke up together
As happy as could be,
Said each one: You're lovely, neighbor;
But I'm very glad I'm me.
A fair sample of the bohemian senti-
ments that find their way upon the walls
of the den are:
To have my choice among the toys of life's
bazaar,
The deuce may take them all if l have my
cigar.
Or from Josh Billings:
| | don't kare what sez so long as he
sez it in few words.
Stevenson's sentiments of love and
friendship have whole-souled ring and
also serve for the den:
So long as we love we serve; so long as we are
| loved by others | would almost say that we
are indispensabe-and no man is useless while
| he has friend.
One of the most appropriate quota
tions for the guest-room may be found
in Whittier's lines entitled "a Quiet
! Room
And so | find it well to come
For deeper rest to this still room.
For here the habit of the soul
Feels less the outer worlds control.
| And from the silence, multiplied
/ Bv these still forms on every side,
The world that time and sense has known
Falls off and leaves us God alone.
A similar sentiment, from the pen of

The TRAGEDY Of .he Bennington.

That was a terrible affair upon the
gunboat Bennington in the harbor OF
San Diego when an exploding boiler
killed half hundred officers and man
and wounded scores of others. There
has been nothing like il since the de-
struction Of the Maine in 1895 and few
such accidents in the whole history Of
the American navy. While it lacks
any such features as those which char
acterized the loss of the Maine, it has
nevertheless shocked the whole country
and caused everywhere the deepest
regret and concern. 1t comes close
home to Us when we learn that the
executive officer in charge of the ship
at the time of the disaster was Maine
Low. Lieut.. Yates OF Waterville. ana
that at least one other Maine boy, an
Augusta young man formerly in the
employ Of the Journal, was a member
Of the crew. Both Of these. however,
fortunately appear 10 have escaped
serious injury.
If this awful sacrifice OF life was due

Of the boiler which exploded the re-
sponsibiity should BE- placed as
promptly as possible Such q loss OF
life in war would De appalling enough,
even though constantly anticipated rs
possibility; but coming i'll the quiet
times Of peace the blow seems harder
and the pity greater. particularly the
accident was due to anything which
care and foresight would have pre-.
vented.

Hunting Moonshiners.

There was a time when the hunt for
"moDnshiners' or Of Illicit distillerS of
whiskey was confined to the mountain
regions of the South. but according TO
the latest report of the interna! revenue
department. such lawbrcakers are more
and more operating in the large cities
of the country. This makes the war
against them a little less picturesque
then It used TO be when it was confined
TO the mountain districts, %nd also a
little less dangerous to life. But on the
whole the officers say that it is easier
to run down Illicit distillcrs in the via

The Summer Girl.

Gce-WhiZZ,
What q wonder
The summer girl is!
What bird
Have YOU ever heard
of anything like her?
What a wonderful hiker
Straight to mems hearts.
With her cute little arts
And her graces.
Her tufts and her
Ribbons and laceS:
Her smiles and her signs,
Her varying eyes. +.
The touch of her hand,
The rapture of-oh. my land!
Jerusalem, gosh.
Can't she josh
Any man on earth
TO finish? Say.
Amt she the ways
You long have sought
And mourned because
You found it nought?
Well, l guess
She is the limit OF loneliness,
She
Bosses the sea,
And the mountains fall
Down at her call.
No matter where you find her,
No matter where she dwellS-
In lovely summer villas
or any old hotels
She Yields her magic septre,
She sits upon her throne,
And claims without distinction,
All mankind as her own.
And what does mankind
Think about it?
Well don't shout it
Whisper it soft and low;
He's willing to be her subject!
For a couple of months or so;
But after that
My scat!
Where is the summer girl?
