L1NcoINs ADVICE TO LAWYERS.

Discourage litigation" was Lin
coins advice to lawyers. Persuade
your neighbors to compromise when
ever you can. Point out to them how
the nominal winner is often the real
loser-in fees, expenses and waste OF
time. As a peacemaker the lawyer
has superior opportunity of becom
ing a good man. There will always
be enough business. Never stir up a
litigation. A worse man can scarce
ly be found than one who does this.
Who can be more nearly fend than
he who habitually overhauls the reg
lister of deeds in search of defects IN
titles whereon to stir up strife and put
money in his pocket /! A moral tone
ought to be infused into the profess
sion which should drive such men out
of it,
1t has been truly said that those
words should be posted in every law
office in the land, and it will be seen
when Lincoln's record is fully exam
ined that it was not mere theorist
who wrote them, but an active prac-
titioner of wide experience who lived
up to his own teaching. .-Frede,1ch

THE GIRL WHO CLERKS and THE GIRL WHO
LIVES OUT.

All is not gold that glitters. There
appears to be more attraction in the
store than in the kitchen for many
girls. Yet are not the girls who live
out much better off, as rule, than
the girls who stand behind the coun-
ter We think so.
The term servant may not be ap-
piled to the clerks as it is applied to
the girls who live out, yet we are all
designated as servant by the Holy
Scripture. The final blessing will be
couched in the words: "Well done,
good and faithful servant" :"
AS matter of fact, the girl in the
store is much more Of servant than
the girl who works out. The clerk
is under the constant supervision of a
taskmaster in the person Of the floor
walker, or in that of the proprietor.
The clerks must stand and look pleas
ant the whole day long, whether they
are in the humor of doing so or not.
Their duties are exacting and often
burdensome.
The touchstone OF all labor is the
compensation. The clerk may get
more actual money on pay day, but
when street car fare, room rent, cloth
ing and board bill are settled, the net
gain of the clerk is less than that OF
the girl who works out.
The girl who works out has, as a
rule, better board and better room
and more home-like surroundings
than the clerk. She is more thought
of and gets more consideration than
the clerk, and is nearer to those for
whom she works.
The girl who works out is not ex-
posed to as many temptations as the
clerk, and can exercise more liberty
in choosing her companions. In ad-
dition to that, she is, as rule, better
fitted to preside over house of her
own when, as it is TO be expected, she
will be called to the matrimonial state.
While there are good and exemplary
girls engaged in clerking, were we
asked as to the choosing of the better
part, we would unhesitatingly direct
the young woman who has to earn her
living to choose domestic service.
AS people must be fitted for the
tasks they undertake, proper knowl'
edge and adapability should pave the
way to success.-Catholic UnfOerSe.

fields beyond.
Above the falls there is a place
where the river seems to have heard
for the first time the call of the sea
and turned IN a general direction to-
ward the east; but after few miles
of wavering course it heard the sea
call again, when with apparently
clearer sense aud with incre ased force
of new tributaries, it turned sharply
to the south and poured its food into
the long channel that we know,
straight to the ocean.
The valley grows more rugged to-
ward the rivers source, still far away.
To reach it is like seeking to trace
some remote ancestor, the springs
being hidden in unfamiliar ground.
At Riverside are thriving industries
and clustering interests that go to
make life wholesome and worth while.
But the wildness is at the t'oor the
forest rich and somber, the mountains

to be entranced, and the myriad lakes
that mirror the incompatible sky.

BILLY's CAP.

Billy had an indulgent father and
loving mother. When his father
showed him memorandum of the
caps he had lost the last six months,
he felt a slight tinge of regret, for he
loved his father, and he was natural
ly amiable. But it did not touch
him personally, and, boy fashion, he
rather liked to have new cap often.
Had he been put to some disagreeable
task until he had earned the money
to buy another cap, he might have
learned the lesson earlier. Being de-
prived of going to the lawn party was
his first experience in self-denial.
Billy's mother had been very Judi
cious in her instructions, love al
ways manifest in her severest disci-
pline. Always careful not to impose
too many restrictions at one time.
Children who would like to please
mother by obedience, sometimes get
don't do this or don't do that, . so
mixed in their minds that it is difficult
to separate them. Then their atten-
ton is easily diverted by some incl
dent or suggestion, causing apparent
heedlessness. l am reminded of a
little tot telling her mother the teach
er taught her verse: Fear not,
will send you quilt"
Comforter was the word, instead
of quilt. Numerous instances of in
nocent substitutions Of words of sim
liar meaning could be related. AS
the unpleasant episode of the lost cap
had spoiled the pleasure of the morn
ing at the lawn party anticipated by
Billy, Dorothy and aunt Gertrude,
they were by the contrast better pre-
pared for enjoyment in the afternoon.
But the first thing was to find the
boy. While feeling the injustice of
the present punishment, he learned
the lesson that it was not SO hard to
be blamed wrongfully as it was to be
really guilty he had hearty cry
soon as he was by himself which gave
him relief but he did not want his
sister and aunty to know he was
baby enough to cry then he enjoy
ed remembering that he truly did not
lose his cap this time his sister knew
it too, so he was comparatively calm
when found at work on his window
seat. To his aunt's surprise Billy
was less agitated than she was herself.
Dorothy could hardly contain herself
for Joy she sprang to him, clasping
him close, happier than her brother.
Things at the lawn party had gone
on slowly all the morning, try as they
would to make it a success. Now
the afternoon would be better; the
air was cool and the donkey riding
was the best of anything" said Billy.
The smiles of the aunt and sister,
gladdened by his enjoyment gave
him such pleasure and freedom as he
had never before known. Not once
did they say don't lose your cap"
"don't get hurt, y don't run against
that child" not one of the disagree
able don'ts. Ever after Billy was
more careful, his aunt less strenuous,
and the mother most happy to per-
ceive that her sisters discipline had
not been fruitless. s.-Luc1 eta Russell.

DEER A JERSEY NUISANCE.

The New Jersey deer, which have
enjoyed their freedom, so long have
been branded a nuisance by the farm
ers in many parts of the state, who
are trying to have the legislature
place them under the ban again. The
farmers not only fear for their crops,
but are apprehensive for their own
safety, and feel that it is about time
to call halt.
The old saying, "Give him an iuch
and he'll take yard, is applicable
to the New Jersey situation, and the
rural residents are really beginning
to fear that they will soon be crowd
ed out. AS matter of fact the deer
have apparently realized their legal
freedom, and have taken the state by
storm. They seem to have collected
a few ideas of their own, or, perhaps,
the present generation of these ami
mails is not familiar with the olden
times, when dodgipg buckshot was a
part of the regular routine Of life, and
an open season would certainly be
hardship upon them.
With such law in existence the
sportmen will also be confronted with
a situation as far away from real deer
shooting as Pekin is from Manhat-
tan. 1t won't be case of going OH
long hunt for a big buck. The
gunner must fix himself for another
kind of campaign, for the animals
have become so tame they do not
know when to run.
The trouble between the farmers
and the deer is best told by the farm
ers. When they can't make fences
too high for them to jump, and when
they block the roadway on dark
night and butt the pedestrian who
NAV happen along, or stop railroad
train by blockading the tracks, the
farmers feel that it is about time to do
something.
Attempts have been made by the
farmers to frighten them, but all has
been in vain, and the gun seems to be
the only medium.
A big buck deer almost frightened
a Cumberland county girl to death
by its friendliness recently. The an
inal followed the girl for two miles,
and when fed by the child's parents
returned to the house several times,
in each instance being accompanied
by other deer.
A more interesting story is told by
Elwood Comstock of Baptistown.
Comstock has the distinction of being
the only fiddler for miles around, and
was returning from dance late one
night when he stumbled over big
buck deer lying in a path in the
woods. The deer refused to move,
and the fiddler was compelled to re-
treat, leaving his fiddle behind.
A SIMPLE method of testing wheth-
er milk has been watered is to take
we'll polished knitting needle and dip
it into a deep vessel of milk and with
draw it Immediately.
If the milk is unwatered some of
the fluid will adhere to the needle,
but if it has been watered in the least
degree the needle will come out quite
free of the milky fluid.
A MANS fate lies in his character,
and not in his conditions.

THE CRANKY VISITOR.

When Aunt Brown comes to visit us
NV goodness gracious mel
The dog hides underneath the barn;
Old Tom climbs up tree.
The hired girl says. Sure, I'll quit
If she's to be the boss.
And everyone is nervous-like;
And even ma is cross.
When we're alone we're comfor bic,
Jes' me and ma an dad,
And Mary-she's the hired girl
Except when she gets mad.
We don't go in for style and things,
But, bet you, we have fun.
Aunt Brown, you know. is city folks.
And keeps US on the run.
She says to ma, 20. what a shame
You're buried in this place.
The manners of that boy of yours
Are really disgrace!
How sad your husband don't succeed,
You're growing thin. my dear;
And. mercy! get another hat,
That makes you look so queer"
She hates to walk. she hates to drive,
She hates our neighbors, too.
She only likes to rock and tell
My mother what she'd do
With stupid folks like me and dad.
My ma just smiles. But, sayl
You ought to see us shaking hands
When Aunt Brown goes away.

REMOVING WARTS FROM TEATs.

Warts on the teats and udder are
often very bothersome in milking.
They can be gotten rid of in this way,
according to the Iowa Agrztulfnrzst :
"Clean the udder with mild creo-
lin solution of about teaspoonful OF
the creolin and a bucket of water.
Then cut off the warts with common
scissors or knife and touch the roots
with a pencil of silver nitrate. The
only treatment needed after this is
that of keeping the udder and teats
softened with lard. Sometimes it is
necessary to repeat the whole per-
Torrance, but this is very seldom. l."
THE WORLD is given as to a prize
man in earnest.
