Before It Is Too Late.


IF you've gray haired mother
In the old home far away,
Sit down and write the letter
You put off day by day.
Don't wait until her tired steps
Reached Heaven s pearly gate,
But show her that you think of her
Before 1t is too late.
If you We tender message
Or loving word to say,
Don t wait till YOU We forget it,
But whisper it today.
Who knows what bitter memories
May haunt you if you wait?
So make your loved one happy
Before it is too late.
The tender words unspoEen,
The letters never sent
The long forgotten messages,
The wealth of love unspent,-
For these some hearts are breaking,
For these some loved ones wait;
So show them that you care for them
Before it is too late.
One kind thought spoken is worth
two unsaid
=
A girl never marries her ideal. One
reason is that she seldom finds him,
and when she does she doesn't like
him.
Better simple food with pleasure
than laxur'ies with annoyance and
worry.
There is a difference in ''intelli
gent dressing and philosophical
dressing. The first is to keep your
dress up with fashionable feds, and
the latter is to keep your pocketbook
up with your dress.
Right here is the secret of awk-
wardness. 1t is self-consciousness.
A girl who thinks about how she is
going to look when she extends her
hand will hold it out as stiff as q
pump handle. If she is worried a.
bout the appearance of her walk she
will stalk over the landscape like a
wooden dummy. What person does
gracefully is done unconsciously. So
if a person would learn grace she
must first learn how to Go thi-gs I'm
consciously and she can only learn %
do things unconsciously by doing
them often.

December was anciently the tenth
month, and its name is from the Lat
in decem (ten). 1t has always been
the last month in every calendar.
Like ourselves, the ancents we're
not quite sure whether they could
afford il or not, and it was therefore
always placed where it cotnd be drop
ped with the least disturbance of the
calendar year. Alexander the Great
always attacked his enemies lmmedi-
ately after Christmas. when they
didn't have cent, and Julius Gaze
sar, who could see farther than Jim
Hill. repeatedly warned Rome against
the Cloths and Vandals, who like the
trusts, gave each other no Christ
mas presents.

To know the luxury of a smooth.
clean shave the edge of any razor
must be right to start with and must
be kept right. To the man who
slaves himself the stropping of the
razor is the most difficult part. Very
often he ruins the edge OF the razor
In his endeavors to strop it. Turning
the blade at too great an angle de-
stroys the edge. This cannot happen
with the stropping machine shown
here, patented by an Ohio man. The
operation OF the contrivance is very
simple. The razor is placed In posi-
tion at the upper end of the strop,
which, bf course. is flexible, and the
strop pulled back and forth. The
strop thus passes alternately over
zach side of the blade. catching it at

To Avoid Cramps.

from cramps while IN swimming. 4"
said a physician. but the fact is that
a very small percentage OF persons
really die from cramps while bathing.
BE the bather a good swimmer or
otherwise, he or she usually gets
more or less water in the ears, and
when large quantity OF the fluid
finds its way there It foods the ear
drums and causes the nerves leading

This naturally forces other vital
nerves to cease performing their duty
and the result Is death If people
who 90 swimming would. as have
done for the past forty years, put a
piece of cotton in each ear to prevent
the flooding of that organ. the num-
ber of deaths from so-called cramps
would be much smaller"

Oaklandon about dusk one evening re-
Gently by five hunters and after a hard
fight in which the dogs were forced
to beat a retreat. the animal was
killed
The hunters were at loss to know

body was a thick shell. as hard as a

head was covered with the shell and

how such an animal found its way to

Miss Young OF the South Sea Island

months among Solomon Island ma
tiyes. has many interesting things 10
relate as to their customs Native
murders. II appears. are Of frequent
occurrence. bur great many are the
result OF feuds between different
tribes
Two Christian boys belonging to
the mission at Malo were bru'ally
done TO death and another Christian
native a; Flu was also murdered.
The crimes were unprovoked bur
were committed because the island
ers believed In having a life for life.
II man belonging to tribe is killed
by another tribe there is no peace
until the death is avenged, and 1t
generally happens that the most in
offensive man in the offending tribe
falls victim. The native who was
killed at Flu left the mission station
accompanied by child to visit his
garden some distance away. The
bushmen came down, chatted with
him, and they ate food together. Then
the bushmen suddenly turned on him
and killed him 10 avenge a murder

the head station OF the mission. a ma
tive came and associated with the
Christian boys and shortly before day
light one morning this man secured
an axe, struck a Christian boy on the
head and ran away. The injured boy
was attended by woman missionary
and subsequently recovered.
Miss Young adds that young Kan
aka Of about IS years was recently
brought from An adjoining island, but
1t was found necessary to send him
away to another station. 1t appears
that some years ago the tribe from
which the boy was taken had muir
dered man belonging TO bush
tribe near the station. How the ma
lives got to know the boy was there
is a mystery but nevertheless 1t be-
came known. One day a native who
nad not been near the mission sta
ton for year suddenly made his
appearance. The boy was carefully
watched and at night slept in a room
occupied by a missionary. but he be-
came so terrified that it was neces-
sary TO send him elsewhere.
Miss Young says that the authori
ties are doing all they can to prevent
the importation of rifles and ammuni-
tion. but for all that the bushmen be-
come possessed of rifles. Some Of
the firearms are of very old pattern
They are certainly not supplied by
white traders, who are TOO much
concerned about their own safety to
supply the natives with weapons of
destruction. 1t is alleged that some
OF the boys ship to New Guinea and
while there buy rifles and ammunition
1t has happened that some of the
boys when searched have had ammu-
milton in their possession.--London
