The Hobo.
by ELLIS o. JONES.

THE hobo, as l understand IT,
said the Man from Mars, lis fellow
who will not work. Am correct?"
Yes, in way" replied the Philan'
thropist, although your statement
ought to be qualified little. There
are people in the community who do
not work, and yet they are not classed
as hoboes."
And who might they be?"
"Well, of course, l refer to those
who have money. They don't have
to work"
Il don't see the difference" re-
joined the man from Mars querulous.
ly. 1T is clear that If the hobo livee
without working. he doesn't have tc
work any more than the other man
If you put it in that way. l sup
pose you are right" replied the
Philanthropist. But, then, you
know, the hobo is of a different class
The others l spoke of have worked
at some time in their lives and saved
their money"
And have the hoboes never
worked?"
We'll, hardly that, either. They
may have worked. In fact, they have
all been workingmen at some time
in their lives, but they did not save
their money. That's the point. Con.
sequently they are not fit to survive"
triumphantly concluded the Philan.
thropist, who had read bit of Oar.

Your remark would indicate that
they are becoming extinct. Is that
what you mean?"
oh, by no means. On the con-
trary, they are vastly on the in.

Which would look to me as il
they were surviving very well, i,
seems to me-" put in the Man from
Mars. "Now, as TO the other class OF
non-workers. You say they have
worked hard at some time in their
lives?
"Yes-that is, either they or their
fathers. To be sure, many of them
inherited what they have"
But, after ALL" said the Man from
Mars, there is no difference between
them as to their antipathy for work"
Il suppose that is correct in the
abstract" admitted the Philan.
thropist.
"Now, then. as to all the rest, the
workers, do they work because they
like it or because they have to-"
Most of them work because they
like it, l believe, but really you will
have to excuse me this morning. /

Gala Lily Popular.

A revival of the Gala lily popular
ity Is among the incidents Of the
Easter season worth mentioning.
There was time, some years ago,
when this flower grew and blossomed
in every florists shop and in every
dwelling house where the raising of
plants was undertaken. Then 1t
passed from favor. Now it returns
to find so many admirers that 1t is
said there will hardly be enough Gala
lilies to meet the demand. Florists
have not cultivated the Gala into
strange shapes. 1t has just the same
serene, stately, pure and unbending
presence that always characterized
it, and for this alone it receives a re-
newed admiration. - Boston Tran

Japan Guards Against Paper Famine

The Japanese also have looked
over the contents of their Industrial
stores and have decided that some.
thing be done toward conserving their
remaining supplies Of raw material
for paper making.
In Japan, paper is used for almos,
everything from the silver-fgured
partitions CT the Buddhist temple tc
the rude hut walls of the laborer;
from the silk-like vestments of the
priest down to the rainDroof shield OF
the traveller. In fact, the ingenuity OF
the Japanese is only matched by the
varieties of uses to which paper may
be adapted.
The work of the United States Gov.
ernment toward determining the
amount of paper materials used and
the source of future supply, is being
followed by the japanese, according
TO an advice from U. S. Consul John
II. Snodgrass. at Kobe. The immi'
nence of the danger is apparent from
the fact that the Japanese authorities
have requested the paper mills de-
partment of the Mitsu Bishi Kaisha
TO take over some 1900 acres OF the
bamboo forests of Formosa.
It is known that the bamboo tree
has been the raw material from
which the Japanese have recently
made the larger portion OF their
paper products; so it is thought that
by introducing the improved method:
of forest cultivation and harvesting
this tract of woods will furnish yearly
900 bamboos, adapted for con-
version into paper pulp.
No matter whether the paper com
pany will establish its mills in For
mosa or ship the bamboo TO Japan liz
a partly finished state, the develop
ment OF this new source of raw ma
terial will be OF high Importance ane
may overcome the necessity of the
Island Empire looking 20 foreign
countries for the future supply o.

Roland Hill once said, II would
give nothing for that mans religion
whose very dog and cat are not the
better for it."
Whittier sings truly:
"A little word in kindness spoken,
\ motion or tear,
Has often healed the heart that's broken
And made a friend sincere.
A word, look has crushed to earth,
Full many a budding flower,
Which had a smile, but owned its birth,
Would bless lfe's darkest hour.
Then deem 1t not an idle thing
a pleasant word 10 speak;
The face you wear, the thought you bring
A heart may heal or break.
The lilies Of the field grow through
dual life. The root life of the lily
must mine down in the soil, that it
may gather nutriment for the lllys
growth. So we In this life must take
| hold Of the things about us.
We are to conquer the world, not
by withdrawing from the world, as If
religion were a harsh and gloomy
thing, and shut us out from the ordi-
nary business and enjoyments of life.
The lily's stem. the leaf and the
bloom reach up toward and take hold
of the shining sun. While we are in
this world we must in a certain sense
be Of 1t, but the higher and truer life
must be kept in vigor by a steady
grasping Of the Sunof Righteousness.
The lily is white. Whiteness de-
notes holiness. Holiness denotes
wholeness--a well built, all around
symmetrically developed life. A holy
man like the lily is harmonious in all
HIS parts.
He is not a tumble of inconsistent
cies, to-day fluent in prayer and to-
morrow fluent In falseh9od. He does
not keep the fourth commandment
on Sunday and break the eighth COM
mandment by cunning frauds on Mon
day.
The lily grows into a beautiful
, rounded flower; Il has no sharp edges
or corners. Many people are more

know OF its presence. There is no
need OF argument to prove that there
is lily about.
The great want Of to-day is not so
much argument sustaining Christian
ity, as living Christians illustrating
it. Not what men say. but what men
do weighs in the minds Of the world
What the world wants to-day Is up

One day OF good living is worth
more than a whole ton Of tall talk.
