Little four-year-old BERTHE sat in
church beside his mother and listened
to the choir rendering their anthem on

the burden of which was, repeated
over and over, peace be STILL"
BERTHE was usually restless in church.
but this day he sat very still all
through the long sermon and walked
home beside his mother apparently
wrapped in deep thought.
AT the dinner table Bertie's mother
complimented him on his behavior in

When Did You Oil Your Watch?

When did you oil your watch last?
Never? You may remember when you
fabricated your sewing machine, type
writer, lawn mower or grindstone
within year, probably-but your
watch you never oiled, that you can
remember. Yet in a period of eighteen
months the balance wheel turns on
its axis 13,996,sOO,O0O times. Expert
watchnakers say that watch should
be thoroughly cleaned and oiled every
eighteen months. Many persons wear
watch for years, winding it up each
night, and never oil it, Watches are
instruments of uncertain age: some
run indefinitely, keeping accurate time,
without need of repairs. AS a matter
of fact, nothing is so neglected as this
small, delicate and useful instrument.

DID YOU EVER TYR IT?

All of us are engaged in the pur
suit of the almighty dollar: TIL e
amount which we say in our middle
age. will be sufficient may be not
large. in fact it may be only enough
to meet our daily needs. Yet we. in
our daily work strive for the filthy
lucre, some with covetousness and
others with the desire to obtain only
for their needs. This mans salary
is twice that of his neighbor and still
the neighbor always has ready money
and the man with the larger income
has his money spent before he re-
ceives it. The difference in people
is not to be accounted for. Here is a
stingy. mizerly fellow; there one go
ing to the other extreme, generous
to fault. And again. here are two
men, each with the same income. the
same expenses. the same likes and
dislikes. as much alike in aims and
desires as it is possible for two per-
sons to be. One gets along; the other
does more. he accumulates. Why the
difference? You will say there are
many reasons, and we will agree with
you There are. but it comes to our
mind that the greatest among the
many causes is the desire upon the
part of one man to make show.
Here is a farmer for instance. He
lives equal distance from small
town and much larger one. The
preference when 1T comes to trading
is usually for the larger place. He
doesn't stop to think of the smaller
price he is allowed for his produce or
the few cents more he pays for each
of the long list of groceries. dry
goods or wearing apparel. He decides
on going to town and as there are
more people at the larger place that
is where he naturally thinks of going.
Now Mr.. Man the next time you
have day to shop why don't you try
the smaller place? You will be al
lowed more for your eggs, more for
your butter. better price for your
poultry. And too your grocery bill
will amount to several cents less. the
dry goods will show saving and the
articles of wearing apparel at prices
that will make you feel glad. Figure
it out. Seventy cents more credit fol
eggs and butter. and dollar and
thirty cents saved on purchases. Thus
$500 earned. How many times do you
go to town in year? Just figure il
up. then decide where you ought t.
go to trade. Why not try it?

The Fortunate Unfortunate.

He could not make suit of clothes,
:, He couldn't drive a nail.
He couldn't paint a picket fence,
He couldn't mend sail,
He couldn't curry down horse,
He couldn't bake a bun,
He could not sell a yard of cloth;
He was only millionaire's son.
But still no one seemed sorry
Nor worried over him
Nor said unto the neighbors.
What will become of Jim?'
And Jim he didn't bother
Or show the least concern.
He knew he couldn't do these thing
And didn't care to learn.
He wore the very choicest suits,
strong man drove his nails
And painted every fence in sight,
sailor trimmed his sails.
A coachman kept his horses slick.
His cook the prizes won.
And so he suffered not. although
He was only millionaire's son.
And no one seemed to wonder
That he should get along.
The world smiled It's approval:
1t seemed to see no wrong
That all the good things going
Should fall into his lap,
Although 1t knew he couldn't
And wouldn't do tap.

The Largest of BLASTS.

One of the largest blasts ever fired
in France was discharged recently at
the quartzite quarries at Cherbourg
and is said to have displaced 100, 900
tons of stone. A tunnel measuring
six feet wide and six feet high was
driven into the face of the cliff for
a distance of seventy feet, and at it's
end two branch tunnels, each twenty
feet long, were driven to the right
and left respectively. These branches
ended in chambers forty feet apart
and seventy feet from the face Of the
cliff, and measuring each ten feet by
six feet. The chambers were charged
with eight and one-half tons of blast
ing powder and $50 pounds of dyna-
mite, and the blast was fred electri-
cally. The quartzite obtained from
this quarry finds much favor in Eng
