He Did His Best.

Brother Millsap," said the leader
of n meeting, will you please start
a hymn"
Brother Millsap a recent convert,
whose repertoire of sacred music was
more or less limited, could think OF
only one thing that had not been suns
within the previous halfilour, and he
started it:
H that hath plenty of pea-ea-eanuts,
And giveth mis- neighbor none,
He shan't have any of my peanuts,
When his peanuts are gone"
Here all the male voices in the col
gregation joined in with great enthus-
iasm:
When his peanuts are gaw-haw-hawn
When his peanuts are gone,
He shan't nave any of my peanuts
When his peanuts are gone"
At this critical moment the pastor
rose and began a fervid e~xnortation,
thereby averting a further calamity

W NEEDED THE PIN.

E. H. Hartman, said a New York
broker, talked luminously the other
day OF the decline in the value of Sc
curities. He said we must be careful
not to legislate too narshly against
the country's vested interests, or the
prosperity of these interests, and with
it the country's prosperity, would be
impaired. He illustrated mis- meaning
with a story. There was a school
teacher, he said, who exclaimed impa-
tient1y one afternoon:
johnnie Jones, what are you fun
bling with tnere?'
Johnny hung his head and was sill
ent. But the telltale o fthe class
spoke up:
Its a pin he's got, ma'am."
'rWel take it from him." said the
teacher and bring it here to me.
This was done, and then in a molli-
fed voice, the teacher said:
"Now, Johnny Jones. get up and re-
cite your history lesson.
But Johnny did not obey. He blush
ed and hung his head and sat still.
Johnny" said the teacher, rise
I tell you"
Then the little fellow blurted out
distressfully:
Il CAM ma'am, that there pin you
took is what holds my trousers up

rived simultaneously with a light
frost, and the inhabitants wearing ov-

The Growth of Moral Tone.

ne GrOWrn OF mOFdl lone.
1t is only necessary to read the his
tory of the various nations-and not
necessary to read as far back into
the past as the days of the Caesars
United States are rather healthy as
a whole, and hat the morals of the
civilized world are of a finer grain to-
day than they were in the past. This
is due partly to a better sort of civil
lization, partly to h spread of the
Christian religion, and partly to the
fact that decency has hedged vice
about with laws that draw the line
wnere personal liberty infringes upon
the liberty of persons.-Louisville Cou
rier-Journal.
Physically and intellectually the con
dition of the civilized man and woman
today is better thar it ever was;
spiritually it is degenerating rapidly.
Science, observation, progress and in
creased prosperity are enormously i'm
proving the physical condition of the
community in England, for instance;
and education and experience are rails
ing the intelligence of most consider
ably. The decay of the conscience,
however, is obvious. The restraining
properties of that spiritual organ ap-
pear to be disappearing altogether
though conscience is still preserved
