northeast from Mexico than due

things read the news with jubila-
ton. For it meaut, not thu coun-
try is poorer, hut richer The
money represented by the figures
has not gone out of the country.
That particular sum was only a
fraction of the amount of money
that has been diverted from the
pockets of the saloon keeper and
the brewer to the tills of the
grocer, the baker the butcher, the
dressmaker, the clothier and the
banker. II meant that morey once

THE OLD HYMNS.

There's lot o. music in 'em, the hymns of long
ago,
An when some gray headed brother sings the
ones used to know,
1 sorter want to take hand-I think of days
gone by,
ION Jordan's stormy banks stand and cast
wistful eye."
There's lots O. music in 'em-these dear sweet
hymns of old,
With visions bright of lands of light and shining
streets of gold;
And hear 'em ringing singing, where Mem'ry
dreaming, stands,
From Greeland's icy mountains to India's coral
Strands
They seem to sing forever of hoier, sweeter days,
When the lilies of the love of God bloomed
white in all the ways
And / want to hear their music from the old
time meetin's rise
Till II can read my title clear to mansions in the
Skies"
We never needed singin' books in: them old days,
we knew
The words-the tunes of every one the dear old
hymn book through!
We didn't have no trumpets then-no organs
built for show;
We only sang to praise the Lord from whom
all blessings fiow."
An so love the dear old hymns, and when my
time shall come
Before the light has left me, and my singing lips
If can only hear en- then. I'll pass without
sigh,
ITO Canaan's fair and happy land. where my
possessions lie -

PINGS LOVE AFFAIR.

Pings, the bookkeeper, was in love.
In fact, the new stenographer had
him so dazzled that he was getting
seven shaves week, waxing the ends
of his mustache and memorizing
whole pages of love sonnets.
One day his hair fairly curled with
pleasure as she handed him her ink
eraser to sharpen, and when he re-
turned it he beamed on her and said
"Miss Peachly, if there is one thing
1 can do we'll it is to sharpen knife,
and whenever you have any of this
work to be done please let me attend
to it for you, Really, l will consider
it a favor"
The next morning she brought
down to the Office couple of pen
knives for him to practice his skill on
and two days later three pairs of
shears, and after those had been at
tended to she handed him package
and said:
"Here are some razors, Mr.. Pings.
Father and the boys have such time
to keep them sharp, and know how
you love to do the work. I'll bring
them to you every month"
Pings jaw dropped when he open
ed the package and found twelve dull
razors, and when he crawled into bed
at midnight after working on the
blades all evening he vowed it would
be the last job of the kind he would
ever do.
But it wasn't.
The very next day the handsome
stenographer handed him another par
eel, and this time it was several carv-
ing knives that needed attention, and
it took just one smile to make him
forget his vow. This might have end
ed the matter for a time had not the
office force caught on to what the
bookkeeper was doing and then the
boys decided to have some fun at his
expense. Pings came down to the
office one morning to find on his desk
hoe, an ak, shovel, several ancient
swords and a pickax, and pinned to
the latter was a piece of paper on
which was written
"Please sharpen these at once, Mr..
Pings. Will bring down the lawn
mower tomorrow"
But Pings was through. When he
had recovered from his astonishment
he wasn't three minutes in looking
for another position. "A. B. LeaOis in

BAD MANNERS EXPENSIVE.

No policy pays like politeness.
Bad manners are the most expensive
luxuries in the world. Good manners
go further than letters of recommen-
dation-like the gold standard, they
are current the world around.
Levity of manners is prejudicial to
success. but it is possible to be too
digni6ed-you can put man into a
jacket so straight as to crush all the
life out of him.
Take two men with equal ability
and possessing the meopportuDities,
and the obliging, the conciliating
man will become rich, while the rude
and disobliging man will starve.
III hammered people are Stunned,
while affability wins at every turn.
Chesterfield said: coil your mind
and your manners to give them the
necessary suppleness and aexibility-
strength alone will not do So"
Don't let ice water get into your
veins. Kind words will do more
than fat purse, and smiling coun-
tenance than pull" The art of
pleasing is synonymous with the art
of rising in the world.-Dr. Madison
c. Peters.
