III; BLAMED THE FROG.

James Wilson, the Secretary of Agri-
culture, was discussing rather anti
quated kind of farming
at is about as profitable and logical
he said, "as the weather reading of a
Connecticut farm hand | used to know.
This farm hand claimed that he could
read the weather infallibly. On walk
with me one afternoon frog croaked
and he said:
"'Wc will have clear weather for TWEEN
ty-four hours When frog croaks in
the afternoon you may be sure Of TWEEN
ty-four hours of sunshine We walked
on, and in twenty minutes or SO heavy
shower came up, and we were both
drenched to the skin.
"'You are fine weather prophet said
l. as we hurried homeward through the
downpour You ought to be ashamed
of yourself
ooh, WE'LL said the farm hand, the
frog lied. It's to blame, not me. Am
responsible for the morals of that
particular frog?' Philadelphia Record.

THE PURPOSE OF THE COURT.

The Hon. A. G. Jewett, lawyer, poll
tician and man of sarcastic wit, was once
trying case in the Supreme Court in
Belfast, Me-, his home city. The Judge
presiding, before being called to the
bench, had tried many cases against
Jewett, who did not entertain very
high opinion of his ability.
In his closing argument Jewett, in de-
fance of the rules of the court, started
in to read some law to the jury The
court pounded on the bench and said
"Mr. Jewett, you must not read law to
the jury in your closing argument"
Jewett kept on reading without so much
as glance at the court. The court in
thunderous tones ordered him to stop.
Jewett, who had by this time read all
he intended to read, turned calmly to
the Judge and said: did your Honor
address me?"
~ said" roared the Judge, "you must
not read law to the jury in your closing
argument. I will give the law to the
jury. What do you suppose the court
is here for?"
"What is the court here for?" re-
sponded Jcwett, in high falsetto, Il sup
pose YOU know, sir, to keep order, with
the aid of the sheriff, sir, with all due
respect to the sheriff, ir."-Boston Her

Doors of the Word.

To be simply a nearer OF GODS
Word is not only to deceive oneself,
but to increase ones responsibility.
"Inasmuch as We did 1t not" is sharp
sentence which Jesus one day passed
upon His unfaithful followers. 1t IS
a great thing to remember that Gods
Word may be translated into chris.
tian living. If for each day we should
be guided by one single pncept, IN
tho process of time we would come
to know cur Bibles as thoroughly as
we know our own names, but we
would also come to the place where
the revelation Of Jesus Christ would
be very attractively presented to one
who might not read Gods Word, but
who would study our lives. BE ye
therefore doors of the Word, and no.
hearers only"
