ON SUBJECT.
Thinks There Are Few Who Are
Sweet Abroad and Sour When
in the Bosom Of Their
Family.

You know" said Mr.. Gristloton,
! when | hear it said of man that
he's good as pie to everybody else,
but you ought to see how he treats
his folks, | don't set It down right
away that the man so described must

ishness anywhere, home is the proper
place for IT; there It can do his family
and himself the least harm. 1t is cs.
sential to his success in life that he
should put up good front and show
smiling face to the world
'As a matter of fact the terms arc
contradictory, for man can scarcely
be permanently i'll tempered az home
and yet present even veneer of
grace sufficient 10 deceive abroad. A
man is likely to reveal himself at all
times for what he really Is; to be,
In the main, either good or bad every.

weakness in him, why, that | would
prefer he should keep for home, and
so, think would his family

ings, TO make allowances, and after all
they don't have TO make so many,
and they know his ways and they
can charm away his crossness easily
enough.
"fhe truth Is that while there may
be men who are saints abroad and
sayages at homo there are not many
SUCH most men are pretty decent
aud these stories we hear about men
who are so good to other people and
so mean to their own are likely to be
without any real foundation or great
ly exaggerated or born out of a
chance disclosure.
Jones family, for Instance, know
him for what he is, strong, vigorous,
able man who keeps his temper and
behaves himself admirably in the
contend with; and they are willing,
more than willing, that he should for
get his troubles and even lose his
temper occasionally at home If he
wants to. 1t gives them an opportuni,
ty to soothe and comfort him and be
good to him and strengthen him. They
not only don't mind, but they really
like him to be natural and human;
they are not disturbed because he has
some failings Like the rest of us, and
they know he'll be serene and strong
again in a minute.
80 | take little stock in the stories
we hear occasionally of this man or
that who is said to be good as pie to
strangers but sour chap with his
own. You can set II down for fact
that the man who has the strength |
and courage and self-control to bear
himself like a man abroad through |
the day is, as a rule. and despite any |
transient pettinesses that he may |
there reveal, pretty sure to be man
whom they are right glad to see at
night at home"

The tinkers Of old, TO prevent their
solder from running, borrowed
lump OF dough from the housewife,
with which they made dam about

When they were done with the soiled
dough which was called a tinkers
dam, they threw It away because it
was utterly worthless Hence not to

MOVING AND TRANSFER.
A REWARD OF FAITH.
Conclusion Drawn from the Destruo.
ton Of an Ohio Church.

A congregation in a hilly district in
Ohio bought a small tract Of land and
erected church building upon II,
says the Youths Companion Then
the question OF insurance came up.
Mr.. Sipe8. the wealthiest member,
who had contributed more than half
the money needed for the new struc.
ture, declared that he did not believe
in insurance. This is the Lords
building. He'll take care of is" he
said. His view prevailed and there
was no insurance In a few weeks
the building was struck by lightning
and almost totally consumed by fire.
Another one was erected, Mr. Sipes
contributing the greater portion OF
the fund as before. This time the de-
mand was alment unanimous that it
be insured, but Mr. Sipes again OBJ
iected on the same ground. "If It
burns down again, brethren he said,
"Ill agree to rebuild it myself" Again
he carried his point in less than a
month the new church was struck by
Lightning again, and although strenu.
Gus efforts were made to save it, the
loss was almost total There must
be some reason for this, brethren"
said Brother Sipes. 81 am going to
find out what it is" Thereupon he
employed a force of men to sink a
shaft on the site Of the twice des-
troyed church. Within a few days a
rich vein Of iron ore was found and
the church property was sold for
many times the amount needed to buy
land in another locality and build
again. 81 tell you. brethren" said
Brother Sipes, 1T pays TO trust the

ness manager than anybody in this

tleman had his net for quail. The
drive was an event in the county. Our
youth Of to-day may never enjoy such
sport. In the proper season the neigh
bors were invited. All came on horse
back, for while quail will rise from
the approach of a dog or man, they
will run along the ground ahead of a
gentle horse. Much skill was required
TO drive a covey into the net. As many
