The most real and sure things in this
world are the words of God. In every
one of them Gods own almighty hand
is gloved, we clutch them, and find
ourselves clutched in turn by divinity,
out of whose clasp we never can fall,
nor be torn away. We lean upon these
words, and find ourselves encircled
and upborne by the everlasting arms.
We pillow our head in weariness or
sorrow upon Gods words of love and
comfort, and find ourselves drawn
close to our Fathers heart, held in his
warm bosom, and soothed by his ten
derness, which is gentler than moth
eris.

WE are on the eve of practical
achievement in the matter of fight
through the air. Balloon races
interest us because the unexpected
isso likely to happen, but in moth
ing vital has ballooning advanced
during a century of adventure.
With flying machines the case is
different. Half dozen men are on
the verge of success. Count Zeppe-
lin has stayed in the air twelve
hours. guiding his airship over
nearly all of northern Switzerland.
The Wright Brothers, of Dayton,
Ohio, have made successful fights
with a heavier-than-air machine.
And others are almost as near the
goal. Ten years ago men said, I'VE
are as far from mechanical fight as
we were when the first balloon was
made" But now they say, Moth
ing in the near future is more GER
tain than the conquest of the air"

d. Thinker Inventor of the incuba-
torl-Good morning, Mr.. Neveradver-
tise.
7. w. MISUNDERSTANDING.
ID. Thinker have just thought out
a new scheme which l am going to
put into operation as quickly as pos
sible.
I. w. Neveradvertise- is it?
d. Thinker am going to make a
box that will do the work of setting
hen.
T. w. Neveradvertise-Can't do it.
ID. Thipker-Yes, l can.
It. w. Neveradvertise- How do you
figure it out?
d. Thinker-Well, just this way:
A laying hen always makes a noise
and advertises when doing business,
but setting hen never does. Now, l
figure that wooden man can be just
AS successful in business as man who
does not advertise and why should not
a wooden hen be as successful as hen
that does not advertise?
Mr.. Neveradvertise walked into his
store thinking what fools some men
are and stretched out on the counter
for his morning nap, while Mr.. Think
er went to his shop, wrote out change
for his half-page ad, in which he de-
scribed the advantages of the Peacock
incubator that would soon be on the
market, sent it to the local paper, and
then began drawing plans for an incu-
bator.
Moral-Don't be setting hen.

~ "
ALesson in Service

In the cool OF glad spring morning
The Master came to me;
MY seed of truth must be planted,
Will you help in the work?" asked he
And answered, "Wait but title,
The day is so fair-so fair;
When the mornings are less enchanting
IL Thy fields I will do my share"
At the dawn of summer morning
heard the Master say,
any truth must be watched and tended;
Will you work in my fields to-day?''
But said, "The days are so dreamy,
And summer has just begun;
| will do my part in thy labor
When the glory of June is DONE"
In the dew of an autumn morning,
The Master came once more;
my harvest is white" he whispered,
"And reapers are needed sore"
"But this autumn JOY" pleaded.
81 must quaf of, ere it wane;
Just few more draughts of sunshine
And I'll help thee garner the grain"
In the chill of winter morning,
The Master came to me;
The ice-bound river was silent,
And the snow lay white on the lea
10 Master, / now am ready
Z! To work In thy fields" l said;
But the Master smiled in pity,
And sadly shook his head.
"The harvest is over" he answered,
| "And winter comes apace;
But some wheat lies all ungarnered,
Because of your vacant place.
You have spent the year in pleasure,
| / have pleaded all in vain;
But what of your own remorses,
And what of the wasted grain?"

"My son,' said an econo mical father,
"an express train attains great speed,
lightning is proverbial for its rapidity,
comets are supposed to hurl themselves
through space at the rate of a millions
miles day; but, comparatively speak
ing, all these things are snails, my boy
all snails."
"Why, father" replied the young
man, lazily putting a cigar, "what can
possibly go faster than lightning?"
"a five-dollar bill after it is once
broken, my son."

To relieve the worst forms of Rheu-

Fluid Extract Dandelion, one hall

Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three

ing paper, forces the clogged-up, mac
tive kidneys to filter and strain from
the blood the poisonous waste matter
and uric acid, which causes Rheuma-

As Rheumatism is not only the most
painful and torturous disease, but dam
geIous to life, this simple recipe Will
no doubt be greatly valued by many sui

prepare the mixture to get this relief.
1t is said that person who would
lake this prescription regularly, dose

Cut this out and preserve it. Good
