an increased pace, till he came to quite an
expanse of cleared land, dotted with log build
ings, while here and there a framed house
reared its more pretentious roof.
This was called the settlement" and pres
emily he passed the little school house which
he had attended the previous summer, there
being no winter term.
Again he came to where the leafess branches
of the towering trees mingled over his head,
and he knew that the next clearing contained
the house of Mr.. Stoddard.
A few minutes walk brought him opposite
the home of the man he wished to see:.
He mustered up courage to rap tim1dly up
on the door, and stood on the step with
heightened color, as some one answered his
summons.
''Is Mr.. Stoddard at homer" he asked. as
bravely as he could, of the woman who had
sNo, he hain't," she said. What do you
want of him?"
Poor Rob's courage died within him, He
did not answer at once, and the coarse, red
faced woman grew impatient.
''Why don't you speak?" she asked, at
length, her patience becoming exhausted.
'T-I wanted to see if he had all the men
he wanted" Slammed the boy.
The woman laughed rudely as she noted
the slim proportions of the boy.
'What good would you be?" she asked, in
derisive tone

And the boy, in whose face a> new manli-
ness shone, turned toward his mother.
Hadn't you better stay at home with us
this winter?" the little woman asked, anx-
iously, her heart filed with sudden forebod-
ings at the thought of her delicate boy spend
ing the winter in lumber camp.
Don't discourage him, Maggie interposed
the father, hastily, seeing the hopeful look
fade out Of the boys face. Help him to
brace up and be a man-though l must say
that Mr.. Stoddard isn't just the kind of a
person l like"
The last words were spoken in so low a
tone that neither OF the others heard him.
cts only two o'clock, and I'll go and see
Mr.. Stoddard now. 1t isn't more than three
miles, and I'll be back before dark"
with a certain feverishness of manner that be-
upon.
The parents. with totally different feelings,
watched him walk hurriedly over the rough
ground and disappear in the thick forest.
In the father a sudden pride was awaken
ed; but the tender mother-heart beat with a
yearning pain for her timid, sensitive boy,
who had been such constant care from the
hour Of his birth.
'Tt'll do him good" said Mr.. Archer, after
his son had passed from sight. "I tell you
nothing braces boy up like being thrown
upon himself"
Rob hastened along the road, which was
merely pathway through the wood scarcely
wide enough to admit the passage of a team,
and his heart throbbed quickly as he saw the
fresh footprints Of bear in a soft place in
the ground.
! But he did not stop hurrying onward at

with renewed courage, he advanced to the
spot where Mr.. Stoddard was standing.

THE STUFF THAT MAKES MEN AND WOMEN.

Many more young people than ever before have en-
gagged places in Berea College for the Fall Term.
This especially true of the Collegiate Department
Bereas standard for the College has been so high
that persons who lack much completing Bereas course
often called to be instructors in other Colleges
This high standard begins to be appreciated.
But beyond all our admiration for Bereas Collegi-
ate students who choose her long hard courses because
they the best is admiration for FIVE boys who
just arrived in Berea after long journey foot
ter the lower schools
These boys cannot know very much as yet about
higher education, but they believe in it, and are willing
to work for it. They came early so as to earn money
before the term begins. Some of them will work all
through the term and study in the Night School, They
are brave boys, they know Berea's training will make
them better men, and they determined to get it,
These FIVE boys are not by any means the only ones
but they fairly represent the class of boys who sure
to succeed.
We know plenty of girls of the same knd-several
ofthem are already in Berea working lay up money
for the Fall Term.
Students like these put to shame the careless ones
who might get education without such hard struggle
and who neglect their chance and let the Jewel slip out
of their hands,

THINGS TO THINK OF
COMMON JOYS ARE SWEETEST.

COMMON JOYS ARE SWEETEST.
What have I to be thankful for?"
Well, there's plenty of good, sweet
air;
Did you ever thank God for All Out
Doors,
With its wide-open cure of care.
What have 1 to be thankful for?~
p Why, the water runs all day
Gods liquorl Go ask the ship-wreeked
wretch
What he'd give for what you throw
away.
What have I to be thankful for9p
Have you ever met with Love?
Have you seen an eye light I'D for
you?
That's a glsam from the God above
Does the soft-footed angel of sleep
visit you?
At your table waits Appetite?
Do you know any little child who is
glad
When you come home at night?
IT'S the common joys Of common men
That are sweetest after all;
For turtled feasts and fevered wines
Leave an after taste of gall.
So pick up the diamonds you've tram
pied on,
There's Love and Life and Youth;
And its thankful to God we all would
be
If we loved the simple truth.

LAUGH 1T AWAY.
Laugh 1t away in the morning light.
Laugh 1t away in the dreams Of night;
Laugh 1t away in the ringing way
OF golden duty and tolling day!
Laugh it away-the care that sears
With ache Of heart and the salt Of
tearsl
Laugh it away and weep no more
When lips. of love in the little door
Learn to welcome you out of the day
Where all your troubles went laughing

DECIDED OR sLAcK-TwIsTED7

Nearly every person knows what is for his or her
good, but only the decided persons does it.
The slack-twisted man woman, boy or GIRL thinks
about doing something good and talks about it, but
never does it.
Putting Off is the thief that steals SO many of the
good things God intended we should have.
The great question is what young men and
young ladies will be in Berea to begin the Fall Term on
Wednesday, Sept.
VIII you be there?
Will your daughter be there?
You know the Fall Term is paying and pleasant
and profitable
You know those who miss it will be sorry sooner or

You know nothing but your own hesitation need
