Chronic WEAKNESS.

You are too tired TO go to-
church," That's sheer nonsense.
There isn't place on the continent
so restful as the church. You are
going to lie around the house all
day; snooze in a hammock; 1oll in
a rocking chair; go 20 sleep over a
book That isn't resting, that's loaf
ing. Tell yourself honestly-you
like to think you are honest-did
you ever in all your life see loafer
who didn't look tired all the time?
The people who try to rest are al
ways tired. Resting is the hardest
work in the world, when you make
work out of it.
About year ago, | stopped in a
Boston street to watch a group of
laborers. 1t was noon hour. They
had been at work all the morning
digging sewer excavation. They
had eaten their dinners from the lit
tie tin pals and now they were
resting" Some of them were pitch
ing quoits, and others were putting
the shot, with great round boulder.
They were workingmen resting"
And sitting on the curbstone watch
ing them-too lazy to even stand up
and look at them; their lazy chins
resting on their lazy hands, and their
lazy elbows supported on their lazy
knees, were the loafers who had
been watching them work all the
morning. These fellows were toe
tired even to join the games by
which the workers rested them
selves.
You have no need to loaf all day
| Sunday. Two hours in church; two
hours of the quiet; the sermon; the
reading; the uplift which comes from
the new channels into which your
thought, your mind is led, will RESI-
you more, physically, morally, intel
| lectually, than will all the day spent
in trying to ''rest." Robert J. Bur

The Picture Scrap-Book.

A child's picture scrap-book is
capable of variations which add to
it's interest; for while a hodge-podge
of pictures, however gay and pretty,
delights only the very young child,
when special subject is chosen for
illustration the interest is longer
lived. For instance, a little city boy
will enjoy making a farm book. The
picture of the house, of the barns,
the fields, the COWS, the horses, and
all the other animals will form a pic
tured story; a story with the addi-
tional charm of indefinite continual
ton, for he may add to his stock and
poultry or put up a new barn when
ever fine picture presents itself. A
garden book is easily made from seed
catalogues. A sea book has posi-
bilities in the way of boats on top of
the waves, fish beneath, and shells
and seaweed on the shores. A bird
book gives acquaintance with the
tree folk. An older boy may enjoy
collecting pictures of means of tray

different kinds of ships, balloons, air.
ships, old velocipedes, automobiles,
and so-forth. AS a special Sunday
occupation for children a scrap-book
may be made illustrating Bible
stories, or filled with pictures of
famous men. In fact, any special
interest on the part of the child may
be utilized as the motive for the

Worldly Care.

The pestilence malaria does not
creep with more certainty out of the
stagnant swamp over the doomed
city than does that fatal blight which
exhales over the soul from the I'M
drained marshes of worldly care. Oh,
that we could all wiring this black
drop out of our soul! Then, if cares
came, we could lay them all On him
who would bear for US their intoler-
able burden, and, after the very heav-
lest misfortune which could befall
US, sorrowful it may be, but unde-
based.
We might take up our burden of life
again,
Not saying even, It might have been.
Why should we be care-stricken?
What business have we to be sad in
the sunshine? We have nothing to
do with the past; nothing to do with
the future; we have to do with the
present only, and that even in the
hour of trial we are by Gods grace
strong enough to bear.-Canon Far

A Mothers Way.

Now, jamie" said a school
teacher, "if there were only one pie
for desert, and there five of you
children and father and mother to
divide it among how large a piece
would you get?"
"One-sixth," replied Jamie.
But there would be seven people
there, Jamie. Don't you know how
many times seven goes into one?"
Yes'm-and l know my mother.
She'd say she wasn't hungry for pie
that day. I'd get one-sixth. THE
Youth Companion.
All freedom has it's birthright and
it's protection in law. Are you free?
Law has given the priceless gift to
you. Law once volleyed and thun-
dered and ragged with lips Of fire and
race of blood to bespeak for four
million slaves the mercy of freedom.
Law gives freedom, and true freedom
abides in the lowly hut of obedience.
Eye shall know the truth and the
truth shall make you free" There
is, then, no liberty for humanity, but
the liberty which flames out from
Gods law of truth.-Selected

The Talkative Tortoise.

In a pond in the mountains there
once lived a tortoise. Two wild geese
who came there for food made
friends with him, and one day when
they became very intimate with him,
they said to the tortoise: Friend
tortoise, the place where we live, at
the Golden Cave, on Mount Beauti-
full, is a delightful spot. Will you
come there with us?"
"But can I get there?" asked the
tortoise.
eve can take you, if you only
hold your tongue and say nothing to
anybody"
ooh, I can easily do that. Take
me with you"
Every WELL" said the wild geese.
And making the tortoise bite hold
of stick, they themselves took the
two ends in their bills and flew up
into the air.
Seeing him thus carried along,
some villagers called out, 1.-TWO wild
geese are carrying tortoise along
on a stick" Whereupon the tor
toise wanted to say: eff my friends
choose to carry me, what is that to

The Education of a Prince.

How shall we train our prince? To
love his land,
Love justice and love honor. For
them both
He girds himself and serves her,
nothing loath,
Although against a host in arms he
stand,
Ruling himself, the world he may
command;
Taught to serve her in honor and
in truth,
Baby and boy and in his lusty
youth,
He finds archangels' help on either
The best the world can teach him he
shall know,
The best his land can teach him
he shall see,
And trace the footsteps where his
fathers trod,
See all the beauty that the world
can show,
And how it is that freedom makes
men free,
And how such freemen love to serve
their God.

And lips Just made for smiling.
And heart that's kind and true.
She wears no dainty dresses,
No jewels does she own:
But the greatest of all treasures
Is her little self alone.
Her name is Mothers Comfort"
For all the liveIong day
Her busy little fingers
Help mothers cares away.
The sunshine loves to glisten
And hide In her soft hair.
And dimpIes chase each other
About her cheeks so fair.
Oh, this darling little grille,
With the diamonds in her eyes,
Makes a mothers heart a sunshin
Better far than floods the skies
But the name that suits her better,
And makes her glad eyes shine,
Is the name of Mothers Comfort,
This little treasure, mine.

The Eternal Goodness.

/ see the wrong that round me lies,
feel the guilt within:
I hear. with groan and trayail-cries.
The world confess It's sin.
Yet in the maddening maze OF
things.
And tossed by storm and flood,
To one fixed state my spirit clings:
know that God Is good.
The wrong that panied my soul be-
low,
dare not throne above:
know not Of His hate know
His goodness and His love.
No Offering OF my own I have,
Nor works my faith to prove;
| can but give the gifts He gave,
And plead His love for love.
And so beside the silent sea
/ wait the muffled oar;
No harm from Him can come to me
On ocean or on shore.
I know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
only know | cannot drift
Beyond His love and care.

The physician shook his head. He
smiled in a vexed way. Then he took
a leech out OF glass Jar.
Let me show you something" he
said Bare your arm"
The cigarette fiend barred his pale
arm, and the other laid the lean,
black leech upon it. The leech fell
to work busily. It's body began to
swell. Then, all of a sudden, a kind
of shudder convulsed 1t and 1t fell
to the f1oor-dead.
THAT is what your blood did to
that leech," said the physician. He
took up the little corpse between his
finger and thumb. Look at it," he
said. quite dead, you see. You
poisoned it."
81 guess it wasn't healthy leech,
in the first place." said the cigarette
smoker, sullenly.
Wasn't healthy, eh? Well, we'll
try again."
And the physician clapped two
leeches on the young mans thin arm.
eff they both die" said the patti
ent, "I'll swear off-or, at least, I'll
cut down my daily allowance"
Even as he spoke the smaller leech
shivered and dropped on his knee,
dead, and moment later the larger
one fell beside it.
This is CHASTITY" said the young
man; "I am worse than the pestil-
ence to these leeches."
''It is the empyreumatic oil in
your BLOOD" said the medical man.
"All cigarette fiends have it,

garding the three dead leeches,

Every gift

That God bestows on men, holds in
itself
The secret of it's office, like the rake
The gardener yields. The rake was
made to ill.,
Was fashioned, head and handle, for
just that
And if, by grace of God, you hold a
gift
So fashioned and adapted that it
stands
In like relation of supremest use
To life of men, the Office of your gift
Has perfect definition.

PENAL SUMMONS FOR
LADY AUTOMOBILES

A penal summons has been issued
against DR.. MRS Burnham. charging
her with needless driving of an auto
mobile. The complaint was sworn to
by $. Shimamoto. a japanese store,
keeper of Aiea, whose trap DR.. Burn
ham ran her automobile into yesterday
morning on Hotel street. as the rig was
standing before the store of Murakami.
The rig was damaged and the automo-
bile came out of the encounter eonsid-
erably the worse for the collision.
The accident appears to have been
the result of the skidding of the ma
chine on freshly watered part of the
road after it had been turned out of
the ear track The machine turned
almost at right angles in the skidding
and before il could be stopped had
crashed into the side of the standing
rig overturning it, splitting out the par
GELS and dumping the owner, who was
standing on the sidewalk beside his
rig
DR.. Moore. who was the other occu-
pant Of the automobile, explained to
the Japanese that the smash was the
result of accident. suggesting that each
party in the affair pay their own dam
age bills and call the matter square.
The japanese took umbrage al this and
decided in his own mind that he was
being given a part Of the blame. Ac~
eordingiy he visited the police and
made the complaint upon whicit the
penal summons was issued.
In regard To the accident DR. w. L.
Moore, who was IN the auto with Or.
Rurnham made the following state
ment:
DR. Burnham asked me to set in
her auto to see if l could tell from
the sound what was the matter with
her engine. We We're going along Hotel
street. the right wheels of her auto on

and the left between the two rails I
said In her this is place where Jou
want TO be careful because the track
and the rails are wet and slippery
Immediately DR.. Rurnham shut down
her engine 10 its sl3west speed on the
gear on which it was running, The
eart which was injured was stand
ing near the mauka curb of the street,
the horse facing in the direction from
which we were coming. In order to

the rear wheels skidded on the wet
