The Paramount Issue.

]
One day during the campaign OF 1900
! Major Henry Newman was At Poplar
Blum, Mo. preaching Democracy pure
and undefiled In his best form, but re-
! framing from any discussion OF the
paramount issue" Among the majors
auditors was a citizen In q policeman's q
helmet who marked the omission and
interrupted
How about the Phillipayins" he
asked with IA brogue which left no
doubt as TO his nativity.
Major Newman continued without
appearing 10 notice the questioner.
How about the PhlllipayinsW came
again nt the end OF one Of the ina jOr's
best periods.
Half a dozen OF these Interruptions
followed with no apparent let-up to the
Irishman's persistence.
"My friend" said Major Newman at
length. "I'll tell you about the Phillip
ayns."
The imitation OF the brogue was per
feet, and everybody chuckled
"I'll tell you confidentially," said the
major seriously. "what I'm In favor Of
doing with the Philippians. I'd trade
the Philippians TO Great Britain for
Ireland. and then we could raise our
own policemen"

One Like Her.
A large touring automobile contsin-
INK man and his wife In Q narrow
road met hay wagon fully loaded.
The woman declared that the farmer
must back out, but her husband con-
tended that she was unreasonable.
But you can't back the automobile
80 far" she said. "and I don't intend
10 move for any body. He should have
seen us"
The husband pointed out that this
was impossible owing to an abrupt
turn in the road.
II don't care" abe insisted, IL won't

FATE.


Two shall be born the whole wide world
apart
And speak i'm 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
And read nfs's meaning In each Others
eyes.
And two shall walk some narrow way OF
life
30 nearly aide 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 wisttul eyes that never
meet.
With cropping hands that never clasp and
lips
Calling In vain TO ears that never hear
They seek each other all their weary days
And die unsatlsfed. And this Is fate

la Roehefoucauld on Love.

Love. like fire, must have continual
movement. When il ceases 10 hope
and fear, II 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 a sure means OF
being beloved.
The more we love the nearer are we
to hate.
Women who love, more easily pardon
great indiscretons than little infideIi-
ties
II is impossible to love second time
what we have once really ceased to
love.

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 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 OmuiscicuCe might grow tired
in tracing it TO its inality The crimes
Of the tongue are words of mkindness,
OF anger, of malice, of envy, OF bitter
ness, " 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 n nation is micro
Scopic when compared with the sor-
rows that come from the crimes OF the
tongue. William George Jordan.
