KANSAS MANS INVENTION.

a Kansas man has taken out a
patent on an electric motor fastened
on cows back, the electricity being
generated by dynamo attached to
the cows tail. 1t strains the milk
and hangs up the pail and strainer.
A small photograph accompanies
the outfit, which yells ''So!' when
the COW moves. Ifshe kicks, a hing
ed arm catches the milk stool and
lams her over the head with it. 1t
is reported that he has an attachment,
patent applied for, that feedsthe hogs,
curries the horses, and jollies the old
woman, so that all he has to do is to
sit back and look wise.

SEPTEMBER.

This is near the last of September.
The summer IS gone. What: Why,
it doesn't seem but few weeks since
We saw the first robin of spring and
heard the catbird's sweet song. This
is the shortest summer you ever saw,
isn't it,, OF course it is; and they
will grow shorter every year. 1t
doesn't seem but few years since
we were all children. But our hair
is getting gray, crow-feet are show
ing in our faces, our eyes are grow
ing dim and the elastic tread of
youth has departed. Yes, the sum-
mer is gone and another milestone
in the journey of life has been passed.
When the last September comes we
will think how short has been this
earthly pilgrimage, ard how little of
what We planned to do has been
done

OVERLOOKED BLESSINGS.

There are few people in this world
so poor that they have not many
things for which to be thankful.
Often, however, we overlook the
blessings for which we should praise
our heavenly Father.
The story is told of barefooted
beggar who went along the roadside
crying out that he was the brother
of king and complaining that he
had no shoes. What a shame, = he
said, that the brother of king
should go unshod!!' Just then he
saw a poor beggar carried along who
had lost both feet, and in shame and
confusion the first beggar ceased com
planning and began to thank God be-
cause he was better of with his bare
feet than the beggar who had nc
feet at all.
There is little lesson for every
one of US in this story of the beggar.
Too often we go about complaining
because we have not this or thai
thing, when We should be thanking
God for all the beautiful things which
we do have. The secret of being
happy is to be contented with just
what We have, whether it be much
or little; and If We only think Ovel
the matter, We shall find that mos
of US have really very, very much tc
be thankful for.-Christian Observer.

Be GOOD WHERE YOU ARE.

1t was a naughty, mud-stained,
sObbing little maiden, partly cross,
but partly repentant, too, perhaps
knows-who was approached by a
gentle relative with an offer to tell
her ''how to be good girl and go
to heaven.
81 don't want to be good girl
and go to heaven, emphatically re-
sponded the small tempest: 81
want to be girl that's good enough
to stay where l are
There might have been consider
able petulance in the reply, but there
was some sound wisdom, also. The
being good where We are is what the
world most needs of US and what we
most need of ourselves. 1t is not
the people who are ready to be trans
lated, but people who are ready to
conduct the affairs of this life on a
righteous basis, who are in demand.
1t is not being ready to sing with
the angels which comes first, but be-
ing ready to bring our voices into
harmony with the voices round US
here; not wings that We need, but,
steady feet, true hearts and willing
hands.

DREAM.

Dear one what is dream?
All that heart can know,
A shadowy vision in sleep street,
As the darkening hours go;
A whisper of all that is left US
In the years that have gone away,
Leaving US older and wiser,
Turning the gold to gray.
A path that leads back to childhood
And all its sweet innocence,
To give US a glimpse of our past, dear,
And show US the wrong we've done
since.
A path we call dreamland's highway,
One that is stained with tears
A forget-me-not that reminds US
OF other and happier years.

The PRISONERS OF PAIN.

There are many prisons of brick and
and stone, with windows barred
and small,
And many an eye looks YEARLY out
on the grim enclosing wall.
We pity the prisoners of man, shut
out from the light and air
Whatever their sin, We must forgive
when We think of the doom they
But hope goes with them. every one
hope for the open door
Hope for the day when they shall
be free, in Gods outdoors once
more.
But, oh, the prisoners in pain! How
few know where they lie
With white, set faces, shut away
from kindly sun and sky.
1hey long 10 see the Gay go by
they hate its prying light
And yet still more they long to see
the passing of the night.
Sumner or winter, storm or sun, the
world at war or peace
What can they care: They only ask
from pain swift release.
Never again the turf will yield Ike
velvet to their feet,
Never again the north winds wine,
and all that makes life sweet.
No hope breathes comfort in their
ear-for death alone can be
The warder of the open door, to
bring them liberty.
But, oh, the weary, pain-6lled hours!
how slow they drag along,
With laughter in the world outside,
and happiness and song.

to wear the gayest dresses and hunt
up the funniest stories in ones
memory, is the cold, rainy night,
when there will not be any company,
but when the homecoming husband,
sons, or brothers will doubly enjoy
the cheer.
