Short Meter Sermons

Fear and fret make life's friction.
Heaven helps those who help Others
Heaven despairs of the man who des.
plses men.
True religion nourlshes the roots of
right doing.
The church that courts the rich loses
its riches.
Sometimes hiding another's faults
heals our own.
The man who is too previous Is sure
to get procrastinated.
The hardest work some folks do Is
telling how busy they are.
1t does not make man brave to Law
his cowardice on his conscience.
No amount Of laundry in your re-
ligion can make up for lack of love
It's no use looking for a mans re-
ligon when it doesn't get into his looks
You cannot keep your eyes on your
watch and your heart on your work.
There's no special merit in casting
bread on the waters with hook In II
Many mans religion would be
worth more II 1t had more Office prac

1t with 100000. In 1893 Mrs. Rogers,
now dead, presented Fairhaven with a
Town Hall costing $250,000. His coun-
try home at Fairhaven cost him more
than $1,0O0,000, and is one Of the show
points Of New England.
But nothing he ever did in or for the
town of his birth created the sensation
he made when, in 1896, he made a trip
to Fairhaven and presented petition
to the selectmen that he be made su-
perintendent of streets. The salary was
So day and the work more than any
man Of millions would want to give it.
He was promptly elected super" to
the CONSERVATION Of the first families
Of Fairhaven and to the disgust of most
Of the other families. each of which
had member that wanted the Job him
self. Previous to that time the streets
Of the town had been neglected. Mr.

His father was magistrates clerk
and his grandfather blacksmith,
whose forge and cottage, propped up
against the walls Of the Cathedral of
Mezzin, have only recently disappeared.
Fallieres, who has been President of
the Senate, has a stainless political
record. He has managed to keep him
self free from all scandals notably that
Of Panama, which tarnished the repu'
tations Of so many public men in
France. On the other hand, he is with
out any striking individuality, conveys
the idea Of lack of backbone, and has
offended a number of people by his
weakness for the pomp and ceremony
of office and for aristocratic associa-
tions. He will probably be an entirely
passive executive of the will of the
Chambers of the National Legislature
He is terribly fat, not particularly
decorative, and will in his fondness for
the trappngs of his high estate at the
Elysee Palace recall many Of the anus
ing idiosyncrasies of poor Felix Faure.

Rogers was an enthusiastic wheelman.
Thus, In small way, he was being
thwarted in a desire. With character
istic promptness he applied the same
aggressive methods in this as in deal
involving tens of millions. On his cleo
ton as super he got out the snow plows
and kept the streets clear of snow. This
was followed by general cleaning up
repairing and overhauling Of the streets
when the weather permitted. He gave
Fairhaven the best streets boasted by
any New England town.

HOUSE KEPT ON PROBATION.
After u Weeks Trial Widow and
Widower Are Duly Married.

After a Weeks Trial Widow and
Widower Are Duly Married.
Lamar County furnishes case of
and suggestive.
A widower farmer desiring wife
was introduced by mutual friend to
widow with children temporarily abid-
Ing in a charity institution.
Both were favorably impressed at
first acquaintance, but the woman sug-
gested that she keep house for the farm
er for week and at the end Of that
time each could more intelligently de-
termine the grave question Of union
for life. Accordingly she went with
her children and was duly installed as
housekeeper.
The experiment was eminently satls-
factory to both parties and at the end
Of the week they We're married.
Perhaps it will shock the sentimental
and the romantic, but the incident con-
tains the wise suggestion that folk de-
string to become husband and wife
should be sure Of knowing each other
in their common clothes and under
workaday conditions.
Parlor manners on the part Of the
woman and picnic gallantry on the part
Of the man are not conclusive Indexes
Of character, nor is the yumyum ecstasy
Of lnfatuation sufficient evidence Of
compatibility.
Keeping company nowadays runs too
much to bonbons and embossed station
cry. OF course, there is abundant OPP
portunity to get acquainted after the
engagement, but it is before the avowal
that the pair ought to put each other
through the practical PAGES.
1t would save many a heartache,
though 1t may play the dickens with
the business of the divorce lawyers

growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is a liberal Education,
