Songs in The Night.

Very many of the sweetest
joys of Christian hearts are
songs which have been learned
in the bitterness of trial. 1t is
said of a little bird that he will
never learn to sing the song his
master will have him sing while
it is light in his cage. He learns
a snatch of every song he hears,
but will not learn a full melody
of his own. And the mast
covers the cage and makes it
dark all about the bird, and then
he listens and learns the one song
that is taught him, until his
heart is full Of it. Then, ever
after, he sings the song in the
light. With many of us it is as
with the bird. The Master has
a song he wishes to teach us,
but we learn only a strain of it,
a note here and there, while we
catch up snatches of the worlds
song and sing them with it.
Then he comes and makes it
dark about us, till we learn the
sweet melody He would teach
US. Many of the loyeliest songs
Of peace and trust sung by Gods
children in the world have been
taught in the darkened chamber
Of sorrow.

The hog crop is admittedly

FATHER
Also Showed an Aptness for
Latin.

The old farmer had worked
and scraped to get money enough
to send his worthless boy to col
lege. Vacation time came and
the boy came home for a visit.
He found his father in the horse
lot carting out manure.
John" said the father, chow
have you been getting along in
your Latin?'
First rate, father, first rate.
I've finished the Reader and am
in Caesar now. +"
Holding up the spade he was
using, the father asked:
What is this in Latin, John?"
''That in Latin is 'spadibus,
father"
''And what is manure in Latin"
''Manuribus," promptly re-
sponded the brazen young rascal.
''And what's the Latin name
for cart, my SON."
4" 'Cartibus,' father, Cart
bus. +"
The old gentleman didn't think
it necessary to catechise John
any further, so, handing him the
spade with ceremonial dignity,
he said:
"Johnibus, my sonibus, grasp
this spadibus and load this cart-i
bus with this horsibus manuri-
bus. Now do good workibus,
my dear Johnibus, or I'll thrash
you like hellibus. s."
The old farmer didn't send
"Johnibus" back to college any
more, as he decided he could give
him practical" Latin educa-
ton at home.
The Adair County news., 1909-12-01

With the high prices that have
prevailed for live hogs, consump-
ton has been curtailed in a meas
ure, but still there is only a
meager supply of the hog pro-
duct in store. Although hog
prices have been and still are
high compared with cattle, the
prospect is that there will be
nothing in the size of the mar
ketward movement or in the fur
ther skrlnkage in consumption
to justify any great reduction in
prices this winter. AS col
weather intensifies, consumption
is bound to increase.

Cleaning Hints.

Use clear water, without soap,
to wash windows, and when rub
bed with paper they will be per-
fectly cleal.
To clean graniteware when
mixtures have burned on. Half
fill the pan with cold water, add
washing soda and heat gradually
to the boiling point, when the
dish may be easily washed.
Water bottles or carafes, are
hard to keep looking bright, es-
pecially if the water used leaves
deposit of lime. One method is
to fill the bottle half full with
soapsuds, add bits of newspaper,
and let stand, shaking occasion
ally. Another method: Save the
peeling from potatoes, add to
soapsuds and shake occasionally
until clean.

Rough Handling at Home.

The boy with temper is the
boy who has had rough handling
at home. He is like horse that
has been in the care of a bad
stable-boy.
The boy with a TENDER is the
boy who has been fretted into a
fever. There is the type of
child with a temper who has
been spoiled by indulgence; who
learned before he was two years
old that he could have things
that he wanted if he cried with
enough persistency and with
good vocalization. In extreme
cases he held his breath. But
such a boy has always abandon
ed this policy for public service
long before he reaches a second
airy school.
What he needs is an associa-
ton, steady and cool, which will
serve him as lighting conductor.
He needs to see others keep cool
when times are hot. He will
learn one habit, as he has the
other, from the people with
whom he is. Children" Mrs.
Wigs would say, are like bast-
ings. You take out what you
