the Woodman are two characteriza-
tions that are alone sufficient to make
the Wizard success, and it must
seem that these places would indeed
be hard to fill in the hearts of Ameri

unique characters worthy of mention.

A Brief Parable.

A certain man carried Il sack con-
tanning n heavy burden, and he had
borne it many weary days.
Then as he journeyed the angel of
knowledge came to him and spoke to
him, saying:
What d0st thou carryw
And the man replied, 1T is Il heavy,
heavy burden"
"Of what does the burden consistY"
the angel asked.
"Of my WORRIES" the man made an
swer.
Then the angel smiled pityingly upon
the man and said:
"Let us look into the bundle of thy
worries"
And they looked, and, 10, even as they
looked the contents of the sack dwin-
died into nothingness. M
For when the angel Of knowledge
teaches man to look Alright he per-
ceives that his worries are but tiny and
useless things and the burden Of them
grows inconceivably llght.-San Fran

Personal Interest.

0 yes, believe in temperance,
And it's advocates, grand and true,
Shall ever haze my sympathy
In the work they are trying to do.
But with me you see it is this way;
MY children are grown up you know,
And not one of my boys could be
tempted
Inside saloon to go.
They have no use for tobacco
And as for cigarette
There's nothing to them more dis
gushing;
So you see, I've no need to FRET
For my boys all safe!
And the girls? All, they
In truth are too firmly gounded
To ever be led astray.
So while believe in temperance;
And it's advocates, grand and true,
Shall ever have my sympathy
In the work they are trying to do;
Real personal interest l do not feel,
For, thanks to the training they've
had,
NV children are safe; and at last for
me
There's just nothing to do but be
glad!
Ere a year passes by, with heart-
rending sobs
Her glad song of triumph Is husneo;
For home to that mother they car
ried her boy
Her first ,born-all mangled and
crushed.
How came it? Twas drink!-the
curse of our land
And tho his lips it ne'er passed,
It cut him down in fair manhood
morn;
1t murdered that boy at the last.
Twas the tragical story repeated 80
oft
Regarding it little we think
A railway disaster, the fault of some
one,
Under influence of drink!
Time passes swiftly, but sadly away,
In that home where once was all JOY;
And a fresh sorrow comes, harder
still to be borne
Then even the death of her boy.
A beautiful daughter, light of the
home
Entrusts her sweet life unto one
Who promises we'll to be noble ana
true,
But ere long by the drink he's I'M
done.
Another sad story so common alas!
The details 1 hardly need tell,
Of a soul in its struggle with ap-
petite fierce,
Surrounded by strong holds of hell;
Of a soul at last conquered, of man
hood bereft,
A heart broken wife loving still,
Trying vainly to save a once noble
man
Ere a drunkard's grave he shall I'LL.
Oh. parents, as long as this demon
Of drink is abroad in our land,
Our children are not safe, and shall
you andI
Unequipped for the co.. filct ere
stand?
LIST US grid on the armor, and trust
ing in Him
Who will be to US wisdom and power,
Let US meier lay it down until con-
quored the foe
That thrsatens our home every
