Ellis listeners hung on his words-all

bored and said, oh, shucks!
''The Johnstown man got tired Of it
after awhile. 1t got on his nerves to
have anybody act as if what happened
at Johnstown wasn't Of any impor-
tance. No matter how he told his
story, the quiet looking little man
merely said, Oh, shucks!'
AT last the tohnstown man spoke to
fellow who had. been there a long

A Bargain Day.

A clergyman, anxious to Introduce
some new hymn books, directed the
clerk to give out a notice in church in
regard to them Immediately after the
sermon. The clerk, however, had a no.
tice of his own to give with reference
to the baptism Of infants. Accordingly
at the close Of the sermon he announor
ed: "Alls those who have children they
wish baptized please send in their
names at once" The clergyman, who
was deaf, supposing that the clerk was
giving out the hymn book notice, i'm
mediately arose and said, And want
to say for the benefit Of those who
haven't any that they may be obtained
from me any day between 3 and 4

CENTS and special ones with red backs

Tho Wife as a Conscience.

You may think you had a conscience
and believed in God, but what is con-
science to a wife? Wise men of yore
erected statues Of their deities and con-
sciously performed their part in life
before those marble eyes. A god
watched them at the board and stood
by their bedside in the morning when
they woke, and all about their ancient
cities, where they bought and sold or
where they piped and wrestled, there
would stand some symbol Of the things
that are outside Of man. These were
lessons, delivered in the quiet dialect
or art which told their story faithfully,
but gently. It is the same lesson, if
you will-but how harrowingly taught
when the woman you respect shall
weep from your unkindness or blush
with shame at your misconduct. To
marry is to domesticate the recording
angel. Once you are married, there is
nothing left for you, not even suicide
but to be gool.-R. L. Stevenson.

Preaching In Labrador.

An old missionary who had been
many years in Labrador vas at length
compelled to return, his influence all
gone and his mission entirely truitless.
A young man was appointed in his
place, and before he went to his assign
ment he thought he would visit his
venerable predecessor and learn from
him the cause Of his trouble in the
land of icehergs. The old man received
him very cordially.
MY venerable brother," said the
young man, II wish you to tell me the
cause of your difficulty that 1 may
avert like failure"
MY young FRIEND" said the OLD
missionary, laying his hand on his
brothers arm; 'this was the rock
split on. 1 preached to those untu-
tored savages hell that was hot,
and they rather liked the idea Of go
ing there. I think if you preach them
hell so degrees colder than Labrador
you will drive them all to repentance"

Cunard, the Whittier.

VUnaFo, tne whittier.
Sam Cunard, the whiting Scotch lad
Of Glasgow, wrought out many odd in
ventions with brain and jackknife, but
they brought neither honor nor profit
until he was consulted by Burns &
Mc1vor, who wished to increase their
facilities for carrying foreign mails.
The model of steamship which Sam
whitfield out for them was carefully
copied for the first vessel of the great
Cunard line and became the standard
type for all the magnificent ships since
constructed by the firm. When Sam
uel Cunard was knighted, he did not
forget that he owed his honors and his
wealth to conscientious whittling.-

THE CRY OF THE DREAMER
I am tired Of planning and toiling
In the crowded hives Of men;
Heart weary Of building and spelling.
And spelling and building again.
And I long for the dear old river.
Where 1 dreamed my youth away,
For q dreamer lives forever,
And a toier dies in a day.
I am sick Of the snowy seeming
Of life that is half lie,
OF the faces lined with scheming
In the throng that hurries by;
From the sleepless thoughts endeavor
would go where the children play,
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a thinker dies in a day.
I can feel no pride, but pity
For the burdens the rich endure;
There Is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives Of the poor.
Oh, the little hands too skillful
And the child-mind choked with weeds
The daughters heart grown Willful
And the fathers heart that bleeds!
No, no! From the streets rude hustle,
From trophies Of mart and stage,
I would fly to the woods low rustic
And the meadows kindly page.
Let me dream as of old by the river
And be loved for the dream alway,
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in q day.
John Boyle O'Reilly.

Of men, Demetrius. ''Ye immortal

which l have to make of you is that
you did not make your will known to

which I now have been called. Do you

you that 1 brought them up. Do you
wish to take some part Of my body?
Take it. 1t is no great thing that am
Offering you. 1 shall soon have done
with the whole Of it. Do you wish for
my life? Why should 1 hesitate to re-
turn to you what you gave me? What
ever you ask you shall receive with my
good will. Nay, would rather give it
than be forced to hand it over to you
What need had you to take away what
you did? You might have received it
from me. Yet, even as it is, you can
not take anything from me, because
you cannot rob a man unless he re-

On Falling In Love.

On Falling In Love.
Falling In love Is the one illogical
adventure, the one thing Of which we
are tempted to think as supernatural,
in our trite and reasonable world. The
effect is out Of all proportion to the
cause. Two persons, neither of them,
it may be, very amiable or very beau
uful, meet, speak a little and look a
little into each others eyes. That has
been done dozen or so of times in
the experience Of either with no great
result. But on this occasion all is diff
ferent. They fall at once into that
state in which another person becomes
to us the very gist and center point of
Gods creation and demolishes our la
borious theories with a smile; in which
our ideas are so bound up with the one
master thought that even the trivial
cares of our own person become so
many acts OF devotion, and the love Of
life itself is translated into wish to
remain in the same world with so
precious and desirable fellow crea-
ture. And all the while their acquaint-
anceS look on in stupor and ask each
other, with almost passionate empha-
sis, what So-and-so can see iii that
woman or Such-an-one in that man?
am sure, gentlemen, 1 cannot tell
