SAFE OccUPATIoE.-Bridge the
pretty young maid-of- -all-work, con-
fided to her mistress when taking SER
vice that she had lately become en-
gagged to be married. She stated, how
ever, that she and Tim would have to
wait two years, and in the meantime
she wished to be earning money.
When Tim made his first call one
evening the family remarked that they
had never known so quiet man. The
sound Of Bridget's voice rose now and
then from the kitchen, but Tins
words were apparently few and far be-
tween.
Tim is not much of talker. is he
Bridget" said the mistress of the
house the next morning. Il should
scarcely have known there was anyone
with you last night"

engaged a while longer, I'm thinking

bashful to do anything but eat, ma'am
when he's wild me,"-Tit-Bits

"A LITTLE HAsTY."-A writer IN
Trotwoods Monthly says:
II remember a laughable incident on
Hoods retreat at a small creek be-
tween Nashville and Columbia" said
another old soldier present 1T was
early morning, cold and sleety. We
had waded the creek, but had to go
back to help pull the artillery over.
AS we came out of the mud and water
a long line of us tugging at gun,
lank, solemn soldier walked up on the
bank, drew himself up with great dig
nifty, and in a sepulchral voice said:
Fellow citiZens!
Instantly every man stopped and
listened for some important announce
ment.
Fellow citizens went on the man,
in a deep, earnest tone, after much re-
Election an deliberation, l have decid-
ed that South Carolina was a little
too hasty.'
HE was so solemn and earnest that
he was greeted with big laugh and
shout"

THE POWER OF THE PREss.-We had
the editor of a weekly paper with US
on part of the journey across North
Dakota by team, and at one village
hotel the landlord found out what an
honored guest he had and refused to
charge him any bill. The editor re-
turned his thanks and we were about
ready to leave when the landlord beck
oned him aside and said:
Stranger, being an editor you can
do anything. don't like running ho-
tel and wish you'd fix it up for me to
go to the legislature"
"Yes?" was the reply.
And my son Bill wants to be elected
sheriff of this county"
II see."
And my son Tom wants to be
schoolmaster."
"Yes?"
And I've got a brother-in-law who
wants an easy job in Washington, It's
got to be an easy job, as he has lame
back"
Anything more?" asked the editor.
I've got cousin Joe who'd like to
go down to Panama, and a nephew who
wants to get into a bank, and If you
cont mind being put to little trou-
BILE and would say that am widower
and wanted to marry again, I'd take
1t as a great favor"
Sure that's all, are you?''
"All. except that If l don't get into
the legislature, you might help me to
run for governor, and If l get the place
I'll be hanged If don't subscribe to
three copies. of your paper and pay
cash in advance!"-Joe Kerr In the

THE BOOK OF PSALMS.
Best Known Book In the World-Ap.
meals to Popular Eeelinu,

peals to Popular Feeling.
The book of Psalms is perhaps the
best-known book in the world. No
other portion OF the Bible speaks to
us, as 1t were. with a more familiar
voice. 1t has an intimate, and almost
homely. charm which commends 1t
at once to our affections. Critics and
theologians have discussed In endless
volumns 1t origin, its Interpretation,
or it's authority. but neither comment
nor controversy much affects the
countless multitudes who love the
Psalter. Men do not come to 1t with
curious intellects, but with yearning
hearts What they seek in 1T is not
learning or instruction, but comfort,
consolation, and some confidence of
ficted, and the despaifing that these
sublime yet simple hymns make their
constant and irresistible appeal.
And they do so, they go home to the
heart because they come so directly
from the heart. They have that in
ypiration which Is not less divine be-
cause it seems for the most part hu-
man, because it seems not so much

In
nearly exactly because they are so
natural. The writer's are subject to
human weaknesses: they often exhib-
il the fierce passions of their age, or
form narrow conceptions OF JenoYah
or seem to look only for temporal
promises; and yet their very feelings
only bind them to us with closer
bond, and place i'm clearer relief the
wonder Of their strength, the perpet-
ual marvel of their faith. For the
steadfastness and sureness of their
faith r. indeed a true marvel. They
walk I'm darkness, but have no doubt,
and amid dangers, but are without
fear "They that put their trust In
the Lord shall be even as Mount
Zion, which may not be removed,
but standest fast forever"-such Is
the continual burden of the Psalm
lists. That Jehovah Is merciful. low
ing and righteous, and that, as their
father put their trust in Him and
were not confounded," even so it
shall be with themselves, is the firm
foundation of all creeds, as 1t must
everywhere and always be the found
alton of all creeds, however complex;
and it is just. we believe, because this
singleness, this simplicity of thought
that the influence of the Psalms Is
so universal. They make their COM
mon appeal to all minds because they
dwell almost wholly on those basic
ideas which underlie not one partlc-
ular belief only. but all religious be-
liefs that have risen above the stage
of perstition.-LOndOn Spectator.

HER LAST WCRDs.-She was a small
and vivacious person of ten and had
been allowed to sit up for the late din
ner only on condition that she would
not speak, except when one of the
guests spoke to her.
The preparations for the feast had
been carried on during her absence at
school. When she entered the dining
room on tiptoe with excitement, her
gaze lighted on some candied fruits or
dered from the city and arranged in the
best china dish in the center of the
table
Her eyes fairly bulged; but, remem-
bering her promise, she asked no ques-
tions until the dinner was well under
way. She had been wriggling in her
chair for some moments and at last
could bear no more.
Mother" she cried, pointing to-
ward a particularly alluring pear, IF
you'll just tell me where you got it
I'll never speak another word as long
as l live!"-Youth's Companion.

We claim that Mastic Mixed Paint
Is the best because 1t has lead and
zinc as base, in the proper proper
tions to get best results, and is ground
in pure linseed oil. 1t is absolutely
pure, and contains no whiting, chalk,
barytes or other adulterant. 1t has
greater covering capacity than any
other paint on the market. 1t has
been tried and tested for twenty-five
years. 1t is not an experiment, but
Is the leading paint that we can sell.
The hest Is the cheapest because 1t

really first-class paint like our Mastic,
while 1t costs little more per gallon,
you will save money In the long run.

Too GOOD A JoB.-Captain Alexander
Hutchins of Ellsworth, Me-, although
a sea captain of ability. has always
been noted for absent mindedness.
On one occasion, while at home be-
tween trips he decided to have a spare
chamber in his house lathed and plas-
tered. Being somewhat of a carpenter
he undertook this part of it himself,
and labored at it industriously for
day or two.
It was finally lathed according to his
ideas and as he drove the last nail and
surveyed his work, not without pride,
he called his wife to see what a good
job he had done.
She climbed the stairs and then
paused, somewhat pcrpleXed. and after
looking in vain for an entrance said:
why. Alec. where's the door,"
BY thunder" exclaimed the captain
i'm amazement. Il forgot all about it"
He had actually lathed himself in the
room.-Boston Herald.

An Institution the Need of Which Has

 Aid.
 The Women's Relief corps of this state has been working to secure the establishment of a home for aged and indigent veterans of the Civil war and their wives and widows for several
 years. It has, through it's representa- Itives, been before the appropriation Icommittee of the legislature several ltimes to apply for aid for this project, but without success. The organization has now purchased a home for this pur- pose, where few couples will be cared for by the w. R. c. until such time as larger facilities are provided. The place lcost $10,OO0 and has a mortgage of $700O upon it.
 It has been demonstrated beyond question that the need of such home | is very great, for over fifty worthy and needy couples have been located all of whom are without homes of their own, many of them living in poor rents, the
 payment of which calls for most of their pension money and without rela-
 tives to care for them, and for most of
