GrOWlS of a GrizzIed Bachelor.
A curiosity is a woman without
any. Think it over.
A widow generally seems to en-
joy her weeds as much as a
widower does his weed.
When some couples agree to
marry that's the last thing they
ever do agree on.
Lovers quarrells lack zest be-
cause there is no possibility of a
divorce to follow.
A woman feels that she is not
half appreciated unless she is eX-
aggerated about twenty times.
Oh, if only a woman could lose
the combination of her vocabulary
and never, never find it!
With the exception of yourself,
my dear madam, all women are
more or less deceitful.
The man about to be hanged
and the man about to be married
are both dressed in the "conven-
tional black.
The average woman's mind is
like a crazy-quilt, and she gives
her husband irregular pieces at
irregular intervals.
If l had my choice between
marrying an ex-missionary or
taking the place of a union man
during a strike I'd go cunning
with a raving maniac.
You can always flatter a fat
girl-or a thin one, either, for
that matter-by accusing her of
being a f1irt. But don't do it =
she'll try to flirt with you.
1t must be love that makes a
girl with a name like Millicent
Marjory Montgomery pine and
pale unless she can change it to
Sogback or Dabbs, or something
equally as repulsive.
Once upon time there were
twin brothers. One proposed to
the same girl upon fourteen diff
ferent occasions, and was reject
ed every pop; the other proposed
to fourteen different girls, and
the last one accepted him. Bunch
your hits. : Puck.

cense to cheer those who may
come after us? Or, when we
look is there seen any visions of
selfishness; any pictures Of angry
words, or memories of unkind &C
tons painted on the walls of
home? God forbid.
Perhaps into all our hearts and
homes have come some good
cheers and sweetness as well as
some bitter sorrows and briny
tears. But | trust that we have
passed through it all and left no
blurred or blackened stains upon
our lives or homes.
l desire to describe a made
home: There is the aged grand
mother in the warmest corner;
she is watching two little children
playing with their toys on the
floor. Her hair is as white as
the drifting snow. | can see in
her the past; in the two little
ones the future. The aged grand
father, in front of the fire is doz-
ing and enjoying his pipe. Hav-
ing finished his days labor the
father sits by the lamp and reads
to the rest, while gentle, tactful
mother sits close by planning
work, and busy with thought for
those that look to them for the
means of life. The fire burns
brightly and everything is cheer
full. Listen! there is music. Yes,
John and Mary have finished
their evening lesson and are in
dulging in the act that charms
brutes and moves stones.
Who can think of home and it's
powers over the mind, the home

charms in the soul, the home
pleasures and ministries, with
out having their minds thronged
with those vivid pictures of home
life, which become real to us all
III our passage from the cradle to
the grave.
Yes, each member of the fami-
ly has his part to perform in
making the home. Although the
husband is regarded as the head
of the family he should not con-
slider himself as lord; he should
consider his wife a lover; he
should regard her as his equal
and treat her accordingly; he
should consult her in his business
affairs and ever make a confdant
of her.
The wife, also, holds a beauti-
full and influential position. Hus-
band and home should be to her
the sweetest words in her vocab-
ulary. She should love, honor
and obey her husband and do all
she can to make home happy.
The younger members should
not be left out. The brother in
the home has his office to fill. He
is the first to be a man in the
household by the side of his
father. He is the one to act the
part of companion toward the
sister. He should be her COM
panion leader, protector and
guardian. The sister, too, has
her part to play. Of all the
members of the household none
should add more unique and in
teresting qualities than the sister.
She is the counterpost of the
brother the feminine side of
that brave and noble character.
When father, mother, brother,
and sister do the part assigned
them home will be what it was
designed by the Allwise Maker of
the universe to be-a paradise on
earth.

HOME


a given place with the intention
to remain permanently, or for an
indefinite period of time, or with
out any present intention to re-
move therefrom, such place of
abode becomes his home" But
let's see if there's not some other
ingredients necessary to make a
home, at least, a happy home:
We learn from divine revelation
that in the beginning of time God
created the heavens and the
earth. We further learn that
eastward in Eden He planted a
garden. Here lofty hills awaken

trickling rivulets sparkled in the

lovely flowers bent low before

Here, too, 'Hesperius, that led

and DER the dark her silver man.
tie threw" While the morning
dew bathed the grasses a n d
whispered to the beautiful flowers
of every hue, peeping forth from
hill and dale, God looked forth
and beheld that there was no one
to prune these growing plants or
to tend those lovely flowers, so
He created man in His own i'm
age and endowed him with life;
not in helpless idiocy, but in the
strength Of his physical being
was man created, and invested
with the holy spirit Of his crea-
ture, that self-knowing and mag
unanimous he might correspond
with Heaven and intelligently
understand and enjoy creation.
Man was placed in this lovely
garden the stiffness of whose So
licitude was unbroken, and where
serenity reigned and told that
this was to be his home He was
told to prune the trees and Guilt
vate the flowers and to partake
of all of the fruit of the garden
except one tree that stood in the
midst thereof, of this he should
not eat.
The beautiful flowers of this
garden filled the balmy air with
sweet odor, and myriads of sing
ing birds that warbled their
praises among the branches of
the trees made the sweetest mu-
sic mans ears had ever heard.
Here the sun rose and set, cauS-
ing day and night. The great
eXpanse of waters now ebbed,
now flowed. Occasionally in the
sky appeared great clouds heavy
with rain. The trees and flowers
of the garden began to grow un-
til, as it were, the whole world
was clad in most lovely forest.
Thus robed, this must have been
one of the loveliest places i'm
aginable.
But alas, God looked forth and
said, it is incomplete. Although
it is the habitation of man it
lacks some of the ingredients
that make the home. 1t is not
good for man to be alone.
God caused man to sleep; He
then created woman, a n d 10!
when man awoke there stood a
creature of exquisite charms and
beauty, and man was Informed
that this would be to him a help

upon the canvass, or the sculp-

home-the habitation of man,
was now an ideal. Man could
now exclaim: ''Oh home, that
sweetest spot on earth; thy name

two years to bar him from the most
active participation in the legislation
OF the country. He has come prepared
to debate all the IMPORTANT questions
that will be before congress. He Is
giving particular attention to the rail-
way rate question and has the indie
penlence to hold views that are con-
trary to those of a majority of his
democratic colleagues.
Senator Morgan was always noted
for his independence OF action. This
he demonstrated most effectively dur
ing President Cleveland's last admins
tration, when he, as one of the demo-
cratic leaders in the senate, caused a
good deal OF astonishment by opposing
many Of the administration policies.
It was he who made famous the term
cuckoo statesman" One day in an
swering Senator Villas of Wisconsin,
who was the administrations spokes-
man on the floor, Senator Morgan re-
ferred to those who answered cuckoo,
every time the white house clock
struck. The application was so perth
nent and humorous that the senate
fairly roared, especially as Mr.. Morgan
seldom INDUCED in wit or humor.
The Alabama senator proposes TO

and his tongue to utter them. His
speeches and his statements In the

Eliminating character and the young
men OF the senate are ready to accord
Mr.. Morgan hearing, although 1t re-
quirss good deal Of patience to sit
out his speeches, which sometimes
last for days.

membership. In the last house there
were 210 republicans and 176 demo-
Gratis. With membership of "a per
cent. the republicans enjoyed So per

numbering all told 759.
Speaker Cannon has figured out that
In the present house the republicans
have nearly 81 per cent. of the mem-
bership, and II they were given the
same proportion OF committee assign
ments as in the last house they would
receive 70 per cent. OF the total COM

and would require too great reduc-
ton OF the democratic membership to
appear absolutely fair. SO the speaker
has taken another basis for committee

the Placing Of flowers In the senate

matter into his own hands so far as
the house is concerned this year and
instructed the employees not to allow
any floral display on the floor Of the
house.
The giving of flowers had been car
ried to "a ridiculous extent The desks
of members were so piled up with
floral pieces that nothing else could be
seen and the crowded hall looked more
like floral exhibit than legislative
