this paragraph by the light in your
wifes eyes, and thank God and take
courage.
How many kiss has been given,
how many curse, how many caress
how many a look Of hate, how many
a kind word, how many a promise
has been broken, how many a soul
lost, how many loved one lowered
into the narrow chamber, how many
a babe has gone from earth to heav-
en-, how many little crib or cradle
stands silent now which last Satur-
day right held the rarest OF treasure
of the heart. I. week is a like. A
week is history A week remarks
events of sorrow and gladness which
people never heard. Go home to your
family, man of business Go home,
you heart erring wanderer! Go home
to the chair that awaits you, wrong
ed waif on life S breakersi Go home
to those you love, man of toll and
give one night to the joys and com
forts fast flying by! Leave your books
with complex figures, your dirty
shop, your busy storel Rest with
those You love, for God only-knows
what next Saturday night viii bring
youl Draw close around the family
hearth; Saturday night has awaited
your coming in sadness. in tears and
silence. Go home TO those you love,
and as you bask in the loved pres
ence and meet to return TIE loved
embrace of your heart pets, strive
to be better man, and bless God
for giving his weary children so dear
a stepping stone in the river to the
eternal, as Saturday night.

Table TALK

You will find that a great deal of
character is impaired and received
at the table. Parents too often forget
this; and therefore instead of swal
lowing your food in sullen silence;
instead of brooding over your bust
ness; instead Of severely talking a.
bout others, let the conversation at
the table be genial, kind, social and
cheering. Don't bring disagreeable
things to the table in your conversa-
ton any more than you would in
your dishes. For this reason, too, the
more good company you have at your
table, the better for your children.
Every conversation with company at
the table is an education to the fam
lily. Hence the intelligence and the
refinement and appropriate behavior
of q flmily which is given to hospi-
tality. Never feel that Intelligent Wis
itors can be anything but a blessing
to you and yours. How few have got
ten hold Of the fact that company
and conversation at the table are no
small part of education.

More Girls Than Bows.

The rural village of Toppesfeid in
North Essex, England. has become
prominent on account of remark,
able phenomenon in the births re-
corded there.
During the last decade the great
preponderance CT girls born in the
parish over boys has been noticed.
and at the present moment the schol-
ars attending tho village school com.
prise SO girls. but only II boys. In
consequence of this the county edB
cation authority is contemplating ths
substitution Of a schooimistress for
the present schoolmaster.
But among those belonging to the
place the present state of affairs has
aroused considerable concern. and the
question is being asked where the
farm laborers Of the future are to
come from if matters do not change.
The medical officer for the district
has been consulted, but he can as.
cribe no cause for the greater mum.

SATURDAY NIaHT REvERIEs,

Saturday night seems to have the
happy faculty of making people hui
man; set their hearts to beating soft
ly as they used to do before the
world turned them into war drums
and Jared them to pieces with tat
toos On Saturday night the ledger
closes with a clash, the iron door
vault comes to with a bang, click,
goes the key in the lock. 1t is Satur-
day night and the business man
breathcs free again Homeward, no,
The door that has been ajar all the
week gently closes behind him, the
world is all shut out Shus out? Shut
in rather. At home are his treasures
after all, and not in the vault and not
IN the book save the record in the
old family Bible aud not in the
bank. Maybe you are bachelor, fros-
ty and forty Then, poor fellow. Sat
urday night is nothing to you, just
as you are nothing to nobody. Get a
wife, blue-eyed or blackeyed, but a.
bove all, true-eyed. Get little home

PROFANITY.

Schoolboys take the name Of God
in vain in their play, and even girls,
less prone to this peculiar sin, drop
into phrases that SAVIOR of the pro-

in the presence of women, but that
barrier, too, is down and the man

bode quite freely, not merely before
women, but before little children.
In the'interest Of purity and clean
ness OF speech, we should set a guard

Has Heart Like Human neino.

To discover the heart of an oyster

Is fatal to the oyster, of course, but

Moulding Wives.

1t is very true that alrlost any
husband who is afflicted with bad
wife, or imagines he is, has only him
self to blame for it; has only proved
hir own incapacity for the married
life. A wife's demands are usually
simple enough, if not always just
and these complied with, she is like
ly to be all the most exacting spouse
could ask-to be loved better than a.
ny one else in the world, and to have
her own sweet way in all things. IF
she can achieve the latter end with
out seeming to do it, SO much the
better; she is philosophical enough
to be satisfied with the reality OF
power, whoever has the semblance.
Besides, the majority of women are
married at an age when their char
acters are still mobile and plastic,
and can be shaped in the mould OF a
husband s will At least, so the hus
bands arc fond of fancylng, and if,
mistaken beings, they are oftener
shaped than shaping, they are happy
in never knowing it.

The Olympia Opera Company.

Winfield can now say that she
has a real opera, and that she has
a veritable Opera House. and it is
owned by the city. The large
audience, which attended the per-
formance by the Olympia Opera
Company on last Tuesday evening
at the Opera House, by the music
loving people of Winfield, were
thoroughly repaid by the splendid
rendition of that little opera,
"Love Is Bind" by that COM
pany.
The cast was good, the acting
splendid and the singing, both the
solos and the choruses, was grand,
~ was evidenced by the frequent
enrores at the conclusion of each.
THIS Is the first time that play
of this kind was ever put on the
stage in Winfield. The audience
was we'll pleased. and the actors
were responsive. their acting
showed that they too, were pleased
with their reception.

Hold Your Cotton.

Business men argue that the
cotton producers should place
their product on the market to
stimulate trade and put money in
circulation. Is it not AS much a
matter of business for the farmers
to hold their cotton for a fixed
price IN order to reap the benefits
of their toii? Those who have
spcculated in this commodity to
the detrIment of the cation grow
ers. aud accumulated immense
fortunes. are able To buy at an
advanced price out of the funds
they have acquired by squeezing
the agriculturaIi,ts of the South.
Business j. business, and that is
what the farmers are doing at the
present time as matter of right
and in self-defebse.
