He Liked tho Family.

Governor Claiborne F. Jackson of
Missouri married five sisters. After
one wife had been lost and appropri-
ately mourned he espoused another,
and he kept his counting within mar
row circle of his own relatives, for he
rather liked the family.
The venerable father of these girls
was almost deaf, and when the gov
ernor went to this octogenarian to ask
for his surviving daughter the follow
ing conversation ensued:
81 want Lizziev'
"EhT'
II want you to let me have Eliza
bethv'
"Oh, you want Lizzie, do you? What
for?''
For my wifer'
"For life?'
Il want-to-marry-he
ooh. yes! Just so, l hear you, boy"
I'm glad you dov' roared the gov
ernor.
"Well," slowly responded the vet
eran, you needn't yell SO that the
whole neighborhood knows it! Yes,
you can have her. You've got 'em all
now, my lad, but for goodness sake, il
anything happens to that ERE poor lit
tie gal don't come and ask me for the
old woman
Jackson solemnly promised that he
never would.

The Deadly Tongue.


The second most deadly instrument
Of destruction is the dynamite gun.
The gun merely kills bodies; the tongue
kills regulations and Ofttimes ruins
characters. Each gun works alone; each
loaded tongue has a hundred accom-
plices. The havoc of the gun is visible
at once. The full evil of the tongue
lives through all the years; even the
eye of Omniscience might grow tired
in tracing it to it's finality. The crimes
of the tongue are words of unkindness,
Of anger, of malice. Of envy, of bitter
ness, of harsh criticism, gossip, lying
and scandal Theft and murder are
awful crimes, yet in any single year
the aggregate sorrow, pain and suffer
ing they cause in nation is micro
scopic when compared with the sor-
rows that come from the crimes Of the
tongue.-William George Jordan.

La Rochefousauid on Love.


Love, like fire. must have continual
movement When it ceases to hope
and fear, it ceases to exist.
The reason why lovers are never
weary of being together is because
they are always talking of themselves.
Goodness in love is sure means of
being beloved.
The more we love the nearer are we
to hate.
Women who love, more easily pardon
great indiscretions than little infideli-
ties.
1t is impossible to love second time
what we have once really ceased to
love.

FATE.


Two shall be born the whole wide world
apart
And speak in different tongues and have
no thought
Each Of the others being and no heed,
And these DER unknown seas to unknown
lands
Shall cross, escaping wreck, defying
death
And all unconsciously shape every act
And bend each wandering step to this one
end
That one day out of darkness they shall
meet
And read life's meaning in each others
eyes.
And two shall walk some narrow way of
life.
So nearly side by side that should one
turn
Ever so little space to left or right
They needs must stand acknowledged face
to face,
And yet with wistful eyes that never
meet,
With cropping hands that never clasp and
lips
Calling in vain to ears that never hear.
They seek each otl ! their weary days
And die unsatisfie, this is fate.

Montaiane on Fools.

In discussion nothing vexes me SO
much with folly as that it Is more sat
isfied with itself than wisdom can rea-
sonably be. Obstinacy and foolhardi-
ness fill their possessors with JOY and
assurance IT'S for the most ignorant
to look at other men over the shoulder,
always returning from the combat full
of Joy and triumph. And for the most
part this assurance Of speech and gay
ETY. of countenance give them the bet
ter of it in the opinion of the audience.
Obstinacy of opinion in argument is
the surest proof Of folly. Is there any
thing so assured, resolute, disdainful,
serious and grave as the ass?
