Imputing Motives.

20 yes, it looks very brave and
magnanimous, and all that" said
Wilbur, but Steve knew well enough
that people were looking on, and
that 1t would takei" do you mean,
Wilbur" asked Geraldine, that that
would have been your motive If you
had done what Steve did?"
Geraldine had, almost without
knowing it, discovered a great truth
that motives which we ascribe to
others are almost always those which
would have actuated ourselves in the
same circumstances.
There must always be a known
unit. The standard by which we
measure the character and conduct
of others, too often a poor little
pocket rule, is consciously or uncon-
sciously that of self. 1t is hard for
most people, perhaps for all, unless
refused, with the spirit of divine
love, to believe in springs of action
purer, loftier, more unselfish than
our own.
Let us, then, be careful how we
ascribe motives for the acts of 9TH
ers. For, after all, it is largely our
selves that we see in our companions
Nobility has clear vision for nobil-
ity, meanness is swift to discern
meanness.-M. S. Daniels, in The

them; and generally contrary per-

and of those I wish to speak. In
winter, when it Is bitter cold, how fine
to have something which is exactly
the opposite fine, hot FIRE. How
glad you are that the stove does not
agree with all the rest and remain
cold, but persists in disagreeing with
them all, and pouring out Its
warmth! On a hot midsummer day.
how refreshing a contrary" glass OF
water, which insists on being cold

when 1t agrees with the ice and snow
of winter, but when it disagrees with

times, too, it is nice to have chill

Stranded in Boston.

To girl without money or friends
Boston is the most hospitable of our
big cities, says Lucy Green, in Wo-
mans Home Companion for May. She
has tried them all and she knows.
Miss Green, who is only seventeen
years old, landed at the South Sta
ton, shabbily dressed, with just IS
in her pocket, lonely and forlorn,
she was cheered by the kindness of
the station matron, Mrs. Porter, who
guided her to Franklin House. Lucy
Green has high words of praise for
this hotel for working girls. It is
as far as possible removed from the
ordinary working girls home; in
deed, has many conveniences, gener-
ally lacking in second-class hotels,
such as drop-lights in the bedrooms,
and private parlors for the use Of the
patrons. The food is good, the rooms
large, yet the board Is only 81. a
week.
From there she went to the Young
Women's Christian Association to
look for work. Here she almost lost
her breath on being offered a posi-
ton with the Association itself.
In the course of her travels, Miss
Green went to New York, Philadel-
phia, Boston, and Chicago. She tells
an interesting story. In conclusion,
she says:
''In conclusion, simply wish to
say that honestly believe that look
and act very much like the vast ma
jority of girls seeking work in large
cities. I believe that I made no
greater appeal to the sympathies of
the charitably inclined than other
girls do. Therefore I am justified
in claiming that what I did in all
three of these cities any girl possess
ed of ordinary intelligence and a
willingness to work can do-fnd i'm
mediate work and shelter that will
lead to better things. to business and
social advancement and to content
ment in the wage-earning field"

Mustafa continued, "that child may

The Four Qualities of Drunkenness.

The Four Qualities of Drunkenness.
When Adam first planted the vine,
Satan came and killed a peacock
over it, and the vine drank it's blood.
When the vine grew and put forth
its leaves, Satan came again and kill
ed an ape over it, and the vine drank
the blood Of the ape also. When
grapes first formed on the vine, he
killed a lion over it, and the vine
drank up the blood of the lion. When
the fruit was fully ripe, Satan came
once more and killed a pig over it,
and the vine drank up that blood
also.
Hence, he who drinks of the fruit
Of the vine imbibes these four quail
ties. When he first tastes the wine,
and it begins to crawl in his limbs,
the color blooms In his face, and he
becomes gay as peacock. When
the first signs Of drunkenness come
upon him, he plays, clasps hands,
and dances like an ape. When the
wine grows stronger, within him he
grows violent like the lion, and
challenges every one else. At last he
wallows like pig In the mire, de-
string only to sleep, and his strength
Is gone.-Ex.

Wherefore Dost Thou Ask After My
Name?

God refused to tell His name. In
this seems to lie a most important
truth. Names have a power, a
strange power, of hiding God. Speech
has been bitterly defined as the art
of hiding thought. Well, that sar-
castle definition has in 1t truth. The
Eternal Word is the Revealer of
Gods thought and every true word
of man is originally the expression
of thought; but by degrees the word
hides the thought. Language Is val
liable for the things of this life. but
for the things of the other world. il
Is an encumbrance almost As much
as an assistance. IL Jacob had
got a word, that word might have
satisfied him. He would have said
Nov / understand God, and know
all about Him. Fl W. Robertson.

Nell, says Golfers Weekly, is a
little girl. who is allowed to join the
diners at her house when there are
guests, on the stipulation that she
shall keep very quiet.
On several occasions the little
girl was refused dessert, on the
ground that sit was not good for
her,
Recently when there were not a
few guests at dinner at the house in
question, the youngster, having per-
mission to speak, naively asked:
Mother, will the dessert hurt me
