Dollar" Sullivan. The latter sobriquet
was bestowed upon him in consequence
of an incident of his extreme youth.
He started out at six years of age to
make a living by shining shoes for po-
liccmen in station house. One day
he found revenue stamp on d beer
keg. He loosened it and then hurried
home and dried it by the fire. What
are you doing, Tim?" asked his mother.
I'm drying dollar, ma. | found 1t
on a beer key replied the young hope
full; hence the name by which he after
ward became famous. When Big
Tim" went to congress some doubt was
expressed as 70 how the hero of "de
ole Ate' might get along in the society
of the distinguished personages found
at the capital. One Of his admirers,
however, declared:
Just wait till you see Tim tackle the
ambassadors. counts and markeses!
He can outflow any of them, and Ted
dy will tip Tim off on any little points
that he isn't familiar with yet"
One day in the house of representa-
tiyes there WIS a heated argument
over the question of abolishing the
free distribution of garden seeds by
the department of agriculture.
My constituents believe in the free
distribution of garden seeds, and l
shall not vote to cut them Off" de-
clared Mr.. Sullivan.
"But what possible use can your con
stituents have for garden seeds" some
one asked
"They make soup Of them" respond.

Catching Cold.

Very severe colds are caught indoors,
the result of indigestion or foul air. A
cold is frequently brought on by eat
ing hearty dinner, becoming mentally
absorbed for two or three hours i'm
mediately afterward and retiring to a
warm, close room. The food is not
digested, the temperature of the body
Is raised by the exertions of the stom-
ach, the sleep is broken, and the in
dlyidual rises chilled and ill., Had re-
taxation followed the dinner and the
room been supplied with refreshing air,
everything would have been different.

A Perpetual Christmnstide.

The solution of the social question
would be found in perpetual
Christmastide, provided our generous
throughtfulness were not confined
merely to our own kith and kin. Let
us be assured that when the world
reaches up to the highest and hottest
conception of relationship it will dis.
cover that there is but one family and
that the human brotherhood cannot be
divided into classes antagonistic to
each other The reign of the golden
rule will be the true Christian millen-
MUM.

No clever, brilliant thinker, she,
With college cord and degree:
She has not known the paths of fame;
The world has never heard her name;
She walks in old, untrodden ways
The valleys of the yesterdays.
Around her childish hearts are twined
As with some reverent sal It ershlrlned
Aud following hers, the childish ieet
Are led to ideals true aud sweet,
And find all purity and good
In her divinest motherhood
She keeps her faith unshadOwed still.
God rules the world in goOi and i'll;
Men in her creed are brave and true,
And women pure rs pearls of dew;
And life for her is high aud grand,
BY work and glad endeavor SCANNED,
This sad old earlhs brighter place
All for the sunshine of her face;
Her very smile blessing throws.
And hearts are happier wherr she goes
A gentle, clear eyed messenger,
To whisper love-thank God for her!
