A WOman's Prayer.

Dear Lord, please have mercy on
my soul, and please let me have
the French gray satin | saw this
morning; for with lace: ::hounces and
and overskirt, that dress would be
very becoming to me, / know. If
you grant my request, please let me
have black lace shawl, also, dear
Lord. | kneel before thee, tonight
feeling perfectly happy, for Madam
Etolic has sent me such loving bon
net! A most heavenly little bijuo
composed of white satin with coral
tufts. For this favor / am feeling
very grateful. Give me, l pray
thee, an humble heart, and a new
green silk, with point lace trim
mings. Let me not grow too fond
of this vain and deceitful world
like other women, but make me ex-
ceeding gentle and aristocratic. AS
the spring fashions come, let them
suit my style of beauty, let there be
plenty Of puffings, pleatings, ruffles
and founces. for | dearly love them
all. Oh Lord let business detain
my husband ut H--for he is not
wanted at home at present, | wish
to become acquainted with the tall,
dark eyed foreigner, who is staying
with Col. Longswallows, across the
way. Bring about an introduction,
l beseech thee, for Mrs. Longwollows
will not. Bless my children and
please send them a good nurse, for
l have neither the time nor the in
clination to look after them myself,
and now Oh, Lord take care of me
while sleep, and pray watch over
my diamonds. Amen.-Boonville

The First Air Brake.
tArthur Warren in Success Maganzinel

tArthur Warren in Success Maganzinei
Persons who should have known
better thought Westinghouse vision
ary when they were told that he
proposed to stop train by air.
Nobody seemed incline to let him
try his plan on a real train bat they
did not object to his working Il
model of it a shop where he couldn' t
do any harm, nor involve anybody
else in expense. He knew his
scheme would work, but he could
not make anyone else believe it.
So he concluded to sell his invention
for replacing derailed cars on the
tracks, and to talk about his brake
to any railroadman who was willing
to listen.
Well, have you ever stopped n
train with this air thing of yours?"
they would ask.
No he couldn't say that he had
done SO. Nobody would let him
try it, even on train of dump cars.
One day he arrived in Pittsburg,
selling his other invention and talk
ing about his brake notion to a man
connected with railroad out there.
That's a great idea of of yours, >
said the man; I'VE will try it on
line!'
So the ohici, permitted Westing-
house to put his new 'kicksaw' on
one of their trains. But he had to
agree to indemnify the road for any
damage that might be caused to the
train as the result of his trials. The
train was equipped. On the des-
ignated day the confident investor
and a group of skept'cal railway
men boarded the train ON which the
first air brakes were fixed. Off
went the train on its trial trip: the
engineer put on full speed, and just
as he rounded curve he saw ahead,
at a grade crossing, and in the mid
die of the the track, a loaded wagon
a man and boy, and a balky horse.
The moved his little lever, and the
first train that was ever stopped by
air pulled up at a standstill several
feet short of the obstruction.
Thus, on its first trial, the West
inghouse air brake saved life and
prevented damage to property.
Thenceforward talking was unneces-
sary; all that had to be done was to
make brakes The inventor thought
of the clause securing compensation
to the railroad for any damage he
might do to the train, and he laugh
ed. His fortune dated from that
day. He was then only -.

What The South Really Needs.

The South needs more labor, but
wants the right sort. Above all ,
what the South wants to avoid is
anything like another race problem
Merely because man is an immi-
CANT and wants to change his old
home for "A new one does not make
him a useful citizen. Because a
man can labor does not make him
valuable acquisition To 4 commun-
ity. What the South needs is a Ia
borer who is prepared by training
for the labor that lies 10 his hand
to do. The greatest need is for
agricultural laborers. The negroes
are no longer reliable and are leav-
ing the fields for the towns and the
manufacturing establishments.
What would it benefit the South il
it got immigrants that know moth
ing of agriculture-afid are not will
ing tn he tsaght?
The class of immigrants that are
coming to this country from Europe,
as rule, is not the industrious,
the trained, the intelligent class.
Many of them are not laborers, but
shopkeepers. Others are untitled
for the agricultural pursuits that
they must follow in the South.
Some, of course, will make valuable
citizens and it is these that the
South wants. The South is not the
dumping ground for refuse immi-
grants. AS a general thing, the
immigrant who is not wanted in the
North is not wanted in the South,
and for pretty much the same
reason. .---Prentiss Plaindealer.

Ernest's First Smoke.

Ernest was having his first smoke and he felt

man. He can't walk straight. | wouldn't want to
be like him"
No" said his mother "and | hope you never

in that direction, for smoking creates thirst

war manly priests in the pulpits; that the people
fed on spiritual mush and thirteenth century
legends and that the priests do not mingle enough

assertions, assumed generalities and too
trivial to count for much in discussion over great
issues.
After years sojoum in France and since then
several visits to the Republic, when we were priv
LEGGED to meet and converse with many of its prom

threatened with moral disintegration. The decay
of race begins like that of the individual with
decay of morals. The loss of faith almost invaria-
bly, follows the loss of morals. For two centuries
the intellectual and aristocratie youth of France
have been worshpping at the shrine of Venus. The
decline of morals portended the dissolution of the
Roman Empire.
Now listen to st. Paul: Because they liked
not TO have God in their knowledge, God delivered
them up to reprobate sense to do those things
that shame. Because when they had known
God, they have not gloriied him as God nor gave
thanks but became vain in their thoughts and
their foolish hearts were darkened; and protesting
themselves wise they became fools. Wherefore God
