DO YOUR BEST.

You never have any concep
 tion of what you can do unti
 you have tried. The soul is full of surprises to those who are earnestly putting forth it's pow
 CTS, who are doing the bravest of all things-"the best they know how" Often it is necessi
 ty that teaches us our capacity We are pushed where we fear to walk willingly, and so we find our way into the wonderland of powers and possibilities. Then we know what the poet means when he tells us that our doubts are traitors, and they make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt. The di- viding line between success and failure is often so slight that one more step would bridge it, if courage and persistence did not fail. It is nearly always mat ter of having "taken a chance, " of having tried just a little bit harder or a little while longer. It is almost invariably a case of "the little more and how much it is, the little less and what worlds away" Work is the artr ist that builds a splendid arch,
 and Worry is the enemy which removes the keystone, allowing the structure to fall. Do not be deceived because the hardest work oft comes to naught and haphazard effort sometimes causes brilliant results. Thor ough, systematic work always wins.

S2OO, 600 For Lobster

Lovers of the lobster need nc longer fear the extermination of the toothsome crustacean: The government has come to the res cue and the lobster will persist. This should be good news to all concerned, including the lobster.
 The fish commission, fearing the disappearance of the lobster from the bosom of the deep, has appropriated S2OO,OO0 for special lobster work at Boothbay, Maine. The first move will be to incar- cerate 10000 breeding Holsters, and it is, announced that at the end of the year there wilI be 20, : 900, GOO lobsterlets available for restocking depleted waters. But this not all. The fish commis sion and the department of agri- culture have had such success in breeding fat tailed sbeep, long staple cotton and rapid fire hens that they believe the lobster can not only be conserved, but i'm proved. There is doubt among the scientists as to whether the lobster should merely be bred with a thicker shell to protect him from his enemies or whether he should have @ stinger in his tail. The suggestion has been made that he might be crossed with the flying fish and given wings to carry him out of dan ger, just as Jerry Simpson was in favor of crossing bees with lightning-bugs so they could work nights. Classes are to be organized, also, on the line of Dr. Wiley's poison squad to test the various breeds of Holsters produced. Fearless employees of the government may be asked to brave the terrors of lobster la Nuberg and similar connections to pick out the best cooking va rieties. Altogether, since the lobster has attracted the attention of the government, one may be assured that his future is safe. Vale.

Got His Answer.

An Englishman travelling in Ireland complained that he could find none of the Irish wits of whom he had heard. He was advised to speak to the next farmer or teamster he met. A little later he encountered a peasant leading a horse with a load of turf. The horse had a blazed face.
 "What a white face your horse has, my man." said the English man by way of an opening.
 "Sure," replied the Irishman, "your own will be as white when it has been as long in the halter. Birmingham Post.

Mark Twain on Woman Suffrage

"A standing argument against woman suffrage has always been that women could not go to the polls without being insulted. The arguments against woman suffrage have always taken the easy form of prophecy. The prophets have been prophesying ever since the woman's rights movement began in 1648, and in forty-seven years they have never scored 8 hit. Men ought to begin to feel a sort of respect for their mothers and wives and sisters by this time. The women deserve change of attitude like that, for they have wrought we'll.
 In forty seven years they have swept an imposingly large num- Der of unfair laws from the stat ute books of America. In that brief time these serfS have set themselves free - essentially.
 Men could not have done so much for themselves in that time with out bloodshed-at least the never have, and that is argument that

/ sat In the school % sorrow;
The Master was teaching there;
But my eyes were dim with weeping,
And my heart oppressed with care.
Instead Of looking upw ard,
And seeing His face divine,
So full of tender compassion
For weary hearts like mine:
l only thought of the burden.
The cross that before me lay.
The clouds that hung thick above me,
Darkening the light OF the day.
So / could not learn my lesson,
And say, Thy will be DONE"
And the Master came not near me,
Andthe leaden hours went on.
At last. in despair l lifted
My streaming eyes above.
And I saw the Master watching
With u look of plying love.
To the cross before me He pointed,
And / thought | heard Him say.
my child, thou must take thy burden
And learn thy task today"
Not now may 1 tell the reason;
It's enough for thee to know
That l, the Master, an teaching,
And appoint thee all thy woe"
Then kneeling. the cross l lifted,
For one glimpse OF that face divine
Had given me strength to be ar 1t,
And say. "Thy will, not mine:"
And so l learned my:lesson.
And through the weary years,
His helping hand sustained me.
And wiped away the tears.
And ever the glorious sunlight
From the heavenly home streamed down
Where sshool tasks all are ended,
And the cross is exchanged for the crown.
