"Let me have five two.cent

the polite young mau behind the
counter IN the postoffice.
"Yessum," he said, handing
them out.
Cant you let me have them in
one piece ?" she added.
Certainly, ma'am," said the
young man. "Can 1 send them
home for you ?"
"Oh, no; l don't live far away,
and l am going straight home. 1
wouldn't put you to the trouble. +"

polite official. 81 haven't very
much to do to day, aud l could

Every much Obliged" said the
lady, smiling sweetly. "Dear
me-" she added, putting on a
stamp, "what a bother 1t is to
stamp letters! Why can't we
send letters and let the postofice
send In their bill once a month ?"
"They might just as well, SAID
the obliglng young man sympa-

Often old letters containing
family secrets are kept, and fall
into hands of unscrupulous per
sons. Every old letter, unless it
is an important business one,
should be consigned to the flames.
Don't trust them to some one
else to be burned, but see your
self that they are de 'troyed.
Again and again death has reveal
ed secrets that never should have
been revealed, because old letters
have come to light. There are
dead and gone facts In the his
tory of every family that never
should be dragged to the light,
and never would be, if some la
dies did not have the foolish hab-
it of putting away old letters to
keep.
But the worst thing of all to
hoard is old medicine. Every
family should have its medicine
shelf or chest or closet with cam
phor, arnlca, vasellne, and such
remedies, ever at hand, but the
foolish habit of saving bottles of
medicine used IN special cases,
is a dangerous one. AS soon as
the patient is well, empty out ev-
cry bottle and clean it for use if
the medicine is harmless and the
bottle is really needed, but other.
wise destroy it at once. The best
way to dispose of broken crock
cry, tin cans aud old bottles, is
to save the pieces in barrels until
quite a quantity IS obtained.
Then dig a deep hole Ill the gard
en- and pound them down well in
the bottom. Cover again with
the earth, and you have a well
drained bed for anything you
wish to plant-'The Habit of
Hoarding," In. the Ladies World

PLUM RUN.

The Sunday school held in Will
liam Stones grove under the su-
pervision of Captain Dottermau
of the Salvation Army, observed
their Rally Day on Sunday eve
nlng the 18th INST; and, although
1t threatened RAIN, the grove was
crowded with people.
The tent and grove were well
lighted and beautifully trimmed
with American and Sunday school
flags and with flowers. The
crowd, in general, gave good at
tention and the program was well
rendered. 1t consisted in part
of vocal and instrumental music
lnterspersed with some really
hne recitations, among which was
one gwen by Mrs. William Stone,
entitled "The Stylish Church. F"
There was also addresses by the
Captain" M. L. Truax, and
Blair Truax on the object, work,
and worth of Sunday schools.
Also, an address by Mrs. John
H. Gordon, who is teacher of the
Bible class, and who gave the
history of the organization and
work of the Sunday school. All
the addresses we're good, full of
vim, to the point, and held the at.
tention of large crowd. The
flag drills and enthusiastic reci-
tations by the small children
were much enjoyed.
Captain Dotterman has proven
himself to be very proficient
and resourceful Sunday school
leader-he having recently con
Quoted a very successful Chill
dren's Day service IN the same
grove. Although the field from
which this Sunday school is gath
cred Is small-lying between the
churches of Zion and Damascus
it's work has been quite a sue
cess. S. S. WORKER.

Shoes to Last a Lifetime.

Say, MIR. Shoedealer, would
you rather have your customers
speak of your shoes as wearing
well, as not running down at the
heel, as turning water, and TAX
ing a shine; or wag their heads
and say nothingY
We'd rather have ours, at long
intervals, say: eve want some
more paint, and we want Devoe. d"
We know 1t isn't in human nature
to paint very often: we don't ex-
pect them to come very often;
don't want 'em to. Ali we want
is to paint what they have to
paint, whenever they pant 1T;
the longer the time, the surer
they are to come back. There's
business enough In the world;
there are houses enough to paint;
let 'em take their time.
If we were a shoemaker, we'd
make shoes to last half a lifetime.
