How She Got Even.

A certain lawyer. famed for high
charges, had incurred the enmity of
an old lady, on account of the same.
Wishing to get even with him, she
consulted him about drafting her
will AS she was a very wealthy old
lady without near relatives, she had
many charitable associations to ben
eft, and the accurate draft of the
will required much patience. skill
and time. Among the provisions
she made a generous bequest to this
lawyer and nominated him executor.
After the execution of the will, she
called for her bill, whereupon the
lawyer, with the vision of ample fees

under the circumstances he should
charge nothing, but finally, to satisfy
her business scruples, made out re-

whereas the smallest sum he could
have properly charged would have
been one hundred dollars.

her will, set herself to work, copied
it out carefully word for word, leav'

A Deadening Habit.

A fault-fnding, criticizing habit is
fatal to all excellence. Nothing will
strangle growth quicker than a tend
ency to hunt for flaws, to rejoice in
the unlovely, like a hog, which al
ways has his nose in the mud and
rarely looks up. The direction in
which we look indicates the life aim,
and people who are always looking
for something to criticize, for the
crooked and the ugly, who are al
ways suspicious, who invariably look
at the worst side of others, are but
giving the world a picture of them
selves
This disposition to see the worst
instead of the best grows on one very
rapidly, until it ultimately strangles
all that is beautiful and brushes out
all that is good in himself. No mat.
ter how many times your confidence
has been betrayed, do not allow your.
self to sour, do not lose your faith In
people. The bad are the exception
most people are honest and true anG
mean to do what Is right.-Success

National Customs.

When Sir Charles Napier was ex-

showed extraordinary skill as an ad-
ministrator. He availed himself as
much as possible of the framework
of a government previously existing,
and used wonderful tact in answer
ing the Hindu mind according to its
own form of thought.
Make no avoidable change in the
ancient laws and customs" he said
to his subordinates. "The conquest
of country is sufficient CONFUSION
for the people, without abrupt chang
es in their habits and social life"
One custom, however, he did abol

Human fight is a new physical
and mental experience, and its sensa-
lions and emotions are so unlike or
are so much more intense than what
is felt on the earth's surface that go
ing up I'm an airship for any length OF
time is really living in another world
We have all been SO busy trying to
fly and trying to imagine what ef-
fects flight will have upon life upon
the earth, that we have failed to rec
ord the effects of flight on those who
fly"
Capt. Thomas w. Baldwin, writes
David F. st. Clair, In Harper's Week
iy. whose dirigible balloon has been
purchased by the United States Gov
eminent for military purposes, pro-
nounces this opinion of the sensa-
lions of flying. Captain Baldwin has
spent more than twenty years on the
problem of aerial navigation, and
during that period has made hun
dred ascensions and voyages in the
unchartered realm of the air.
"The first experience of flight, !"
Captain Baldwin continued. sis the
most wracking mental and physical
tension. Indeed, going into battle,
facing a storm at sea, or struggling
with a fire, does not equal 1t for try
ing the nerves. There are, Of course,
situations of suspense when the ele-
ment of fear will more unman one
than that felt during the first mo-
| ments of flight by a beginner; but
nowhere else is such intense alert
ness demanded, and nowhere else
does one seem so helpless against a
fatal accident This feeling will be
| shared by every one on his first voy-
age in an airship.
"But the reaction on the nerves OF
the aeronaut when he perceives that
his machine is working and that he
is not only actually flying, but con-
trolling his own fight, is simply in.
describable. Some of us know what
the feelings of mastery is in driving
an automobile seventy-five miles pei
hour on a smooth, clear road, OF
what it is to drive a locomotive en-
CINE at like speed. Multiply thi:
feeling by a hundredfold, and one
may get faint conception of wha
the guiding and driving Of an air-cal
through space means. The sense o
physical, mechanical, and menta
mastery over ones machine, owe
ones environment, and over one'
self is so complete, SO buoyant
exhiliarating, exalted, that one feel
more fearless than he ever did will
: his feet on the firm earth. Indeed
one is in another and a higher worlt
mentally as well as physically. On
feels that a great weight has bee1
lifted from his shoulders. His bod
J is stronger, his mind is inf1nitel
clearer. He sees himself riding up
on a sunbeam or a starbeam; Their
flashes across his vision the snow
fake or the raindrop in its helples
fall; by him passes the cloud at tn
mercy of the wind, and on the ores

The Rev. F. B. Meyers biographer
tells this story apropos of his early
ambition to be a preacher:
While he was still child he long
ed so earnestly for some certainty
that this might be Gods will for him
that one evening, unknown to any
one, he carried out to his own little
plot, in a far corner of his fathers
large garden, piece of cottonwood,
which he spread on the ground and
left out all night, praying, with a
childish application of the story OF
Gideon's fleece, that in the morning
1t might be either wet or dry, unlike
the ground about it.
But In the morning he found nc
miraculous sign, and he went on de.
string, hoping, praying in secret, I'M.
til the time came when it was neces.
sary for him to make choice of some
career. Then his lips were unsealei
by one of those Scriptural message:
which have been landmarks in hi:
life.
He was praying in his room a.
Streatham, asking that God would
show him what was His will, and ask
ing especially for some assurance a!
TO his powers Of speech, when, turn
ing to his Bible, 1t fell open at Jere
miah q: But the Lord said untt
me, Say not, am child; for thor
shalt go to all that shall send thee
and whatsoever I command the,
thou shalt speak"
With indescribable emotion he rea,
1t again and again, and accepted it a
the answer to all his anxious ques
tioning. He was the child. H
would go where God sent him, an,
speak what God babe him, neve
doubling that God would be with hin
and touch his lips.-Exchange

Success.

A Boston firm recently offered a
prize for the best definition of what
constituted success. A Kansas wo-
man was awarded the prize, and this
was her answer:
"He has achieved success who has
lived well, laughed often, and loved
much; who has gained the respect
of intelligent men and the love of lit
tie children; who has filled his niche,
has accomplished his task; who has
left the world better than he found
it, whether by an improved poppy. a
perfect poem, or rescued soul; who
has never lacked appreciation of
earth's beauty or failed to express it.;
who has always looked for the best
in others and given the best he had;
whose life was an inspirations; whose
money a benediction. Exchange.

Tomorrow the DEVILS Time.

When Mr.. Moody was holding
meetings in Hartford, Conn, many
years ago, he urged man one night
TO accept Christ at once. Finally
the man replied: "Well, Mr.. Moody,
I will promise you this: I will attend
the meeting tomorrow night, and I
will accept Christ as my Saviour
then" That man never reached
home alive. The train on which he
travelled ran off a bridge at Tariff
Vile, and many lost their lives; and
among them was the man who prom
ised Mr.. Moody that he would re-
pent the next night: ''That expert
ence," said Mr.. Moody, taught me a
lesson: Never to let any off with a
promise, but to press them hard for
an immediate decision; and If that
failed, to show them the peril of even
a nights delay"

The Wind.

He's a trumpeter in winter,
And oh, how loud he peals.
The yellow moon grows white and
faint
When after her he steals:
Evens the forests deep and still
Ring with his music wild and shrill.
He scares away all sturdy wings.
The sparrows' and the crows;
He shouts about the village doors
Through all the flying SHOWS;
He rouses the white, sleeping forms.
And leads the wild dance of the
storms.
In spring he drops his trumpet
And plays a violin;
And oh, how sweet his cadences,
When sunny mists and thin
Brood DER the hills and make day
dim,
And silvery bluebirds answer him!
And weird and strange its music is
When night-rains sob and fret,
And willows whisper witches tales
Down: in the marshes wet,
And frogs, those Ministries most
grotesque,
Blend with his strains their wild
burlesque.
And then for summers ear he pipes
A flute as soft as sleep,
Like the sweet syllables of bees
Within the beam-fowers deep,
But quickened to a waltz when show
Beat suddenly upon the flowers
He blows to listening woodlands;
He trills to fiuttering corn;
He plays to voices of the larks
In the sweet flush of morn;
And then within the grasses tall
He sleeps, and lets the light flute fall
