INFIDELS CREATED OF MUD
But Good Men Are Made of Real Dust,
So the Bible Says, Declares
Aged Believer.

After the opening meeting of the Re-

convention in Philadelphia Rev. Eras-
tus Blakeslee, of Boston, entertained
DR.. Frederic Tracy and DR.. Halsey
Gulick with stories of his youth.
"a friend of mine at college," this
learned editor said, was lad of skep-
teal views. He and made walking
tour one summer, and late on certain
evening we stopped at lonely farm
house and asked for shelter for the
night.
The old woman who owned the farm
welcomed us. She had a simple, pious
mind, and she insisted on our taking
part with her in evening prayers.
AT the prayers end my skeptical
companion attempted to deride her
piety
DO you really believe, he said, that
men are made of dust?
"'The Good Book says SO; therefore,
| believe it, said the old woman.
"'How about wet weather, then,
when there is no dust, when there is
only mud? What is done then?' said
my friend.
THE old woman looked at him and
laughed.
When there is only mud she said,
infidels and such like truck are made.'

handwriting Newspaper Men.

Mark Twain once said that his aver
age daily output of writing, when he
works. is 1890 words a day. That is
about the average days work of the
newspaper writer on large daily paper,
day in and day out, seven days a week.
In the course of year this amounts to
1900 words. The ordinary novel con-
tains about 100000 words. The newspa-
per man writes enough to make novel
of the best selling type every two
months, with plenty left over at the end
of the year to make another book of
very respectable size. Let us suppose
that he works at the business 40 years;
he has written 26,2S0,00O words. or 240
books. Not even Mrs. E. D. E. N. South.

those who imagine that journalism is IN

THE OLD CHESTNUT TREE.
Pleasantest Appointment City Woman
at Old Home Could Keep Was
with Aged Friend.

A woman whose busy life is lived in
large city returned to her old home the
other day for visit. All the old-time
neighbors came to see her, and tho
weeks were crowded with the pleasure
of revived memories. OF one of these
memories she wrote afterward to
friend:
but the pleasantest appointment !
kept was the big old chestnut tree on
the path to school. The leaves were
deep on the ground underneath, and
pushed about through them just as we
used to do 20 years ago, and thought of
the many boys and girls who had got
nuts there on the way to and from
school. | picked up my hatful of big
glossy nuts myself, and managed to rub
two holes through the patent-leather
tips of my second-bes shoes. But the
nuts were worth it, don't know when
I've been so happy.
Il came away with a new purpose to
live for. I'm going to own that tree!
1t won't cost much, for the land ther8
isn't worth anything, and what joy II
will be to me in my city days to think
that | have saved the old tree so that
other boys and girls, so long as 1t lives,
can scufle through the leaves and pick
up the nuts under its branches, and
gather dreams and memories also from
It as | used to do so many years ago"
The letter strikes note which is far
less common than 1t should be. City
Opportunities seem to eager young
people all over the country to offer the
one open door to education, and that
most rare and elusive ideal, culture. But
culture Is a quality Of the soul, not an
mount, greater or less, Of knowledge
put into the mind. It is won, not by ef-
fort, but by the love that unconscious
ly ripens into dreams and memories. /"
Readers of Lowell's letters will recall
his lifelong love for the trees of Elm
wood, and Longfellow never liked to
leave Cambridge while his lilacs were
in bloom. Men of wide scholarship that
they were, much of their treasure was
gathered not from the rare folios on
their library shelves, but from the COM
mon things OF their own dooryards.
There are opportunities that the city
does not control, and to one who loves
them, prairie and distant hills, the
meadow brook and the maple beside the
door offer culture that no book can
give.

DUFFY HAS PROUD NOSE.
Glowing Pride Blazed from Irish
mans Organ, But the Truth
Is, He Never Drank.

The late Mr.. Duffy, of Keene, N. H.,
was as we'll known for his wit as for
his many manly virtues. says the Bos-
ton Herald, among which was that of
lifelong total abstinence from intox-
icants, which seemed somewhat at
variance with the fact that his nose
was very red.
On one occasion, when on business
in liquor saloon in his neighbor-
hood drummer came in to sell
cigars. To gain the good grace of the
bartender he invited all in the place
to drink, to which invitation all read
lily responded save Mr.. Duffy.
The drummer went to him and,
Shaping him on the shoulder, said:
81 say, old man, what are you going to
have?"
81 thank you, sir-r, but | never
drink" was Duffy's quiet reply.
What, you never drink" said the
drummer, with a sarcastic laugh.
Now If you never drink, will you
please tell us what makes that nose
of yours so red?"
The impertinence of the questioner
at once aroused the Feasibility Of the
old gentleman, and he replied: SIR,
it is glowing with proid because it is
kept out NV other peoples business. !"

Norfolk Val. P Withrow, mer-

proposes to undertake to build church
at Hollis with tobacco tags. He calls
upon every tobacco chewer in America
to aid him in this work, and tells them
that they can contribute tl.eir part to
this interdenominational church by
saving their tobacco tags, instead OF
throwing them away, and sending them
to him at Hollis post office, N. z.
Withrow bought and sold $1,000 worth
of tobacco tags last year, which fact,
he points out, will give very clear idea
of how easy it will be to collect enough

Last fall when the location Of the

readers that it would be folly to vote
for Lander for the capital for the rea-

Northwestern railroad was extended
westward from Casper to the Shoshone
reservation it would never build to

near the reservation which would be
made the division point, n the chief
supply station for the reservation.
The wisdom of that suggestion is now
manifest. A townsite has been located,

this will enable Lander to maintain its

so, but railroad corporations usually
want all the benefits to be derived from

located at advantageous points by

friends, are built regardless of the in
