Mighty Hard % Please.

A New Highlander, travelling on foot
through the Southern mountains,
studying the people, asked a man
whom he met to direct him to a GER
tain cabin at which he had, been adj
vised to stay overnight. "Going
thar" said the man. well, Toms a
%arst-rater, take him just right, but
he's mighty queer"
What do you mean?" asked the
traveller
well, it's like this" and the man
looked at the stranger in a calm, i'm
personal way. Hell be setting out
side, most probably, and he'll see you
coming; he'll take a good look at
you, and eff you don't suit him he may
set the dog on you.
EFF he don't, and you get to talk
ing with him and say anything he
don't just like, he may throw you
down and tromp on you. But eff
you're careful in your talk, on the
other hand, he's liable to take you for
a spy and use his gun fust and listen
to explanations afterward.
But it's no use trying to get by
without stopping" concluded the
man, with evident relish at the pros
pect he was opening up to the stran-
ger. IF you was to undertake that,
'twould be all up with you, for he'd
think you was proud and biggetty.

mountain whole, don't go past Toms

The Power Of Example.

It was a custom in Germany years
ago to leave the churches unlocked,
so that any n desiring to walk in
and spend a few moments in prayer,
might. do so. In a little town of Ba-
varia there was an old church, near
ly ready to tumble down. The duke
of that, country often visited that lit
tie town, but never went away with
out entering the little church.
One day the duke met an old gen.
tleman near the church, and stopped
to converse with him. The old man
was poor, and the kind-hearted ruler,
after %conversing with the man awhile,
asked him if there was anything he
could do for him. .
Noble SIR" said the old man,
you have already done a great deal
for me-"
How so?" asked the duke. II
think this is the first time we ever
met"
Dear sir, you saved my son." the
nan replied. my boy was wayward.
He would not go to church. How
ever, he noticed that you always went
into our old church when you visited
our town. One day he followed you,
to see what you did in the church.
He saw that you devoutly engaged in
prayer when in the church, ard it
led him to forsake his evil compan-
ions, and he is now a good man"
Let us not forget that there is
great good done by setting a good
egample.-Lutheran Standard.

Gives Lilies Coffee.

Mrs. Edward Jacobs, of this city,
advises florists, who will be called
upon earlier than usual this year to
supply the market with Easter lilies,
to water their plants with coffee.
She says she knows by experience
that coffee makes them bloom. For
a number of years Mrs. Jacobs lilies
have excelled in every way those of
her friends and neighbors. Instead
of moistening the earth around their
roots with water she used coffee left
over from the day before.zSandusky

Blouse or Shirt Waist.

The simple blouse that allows Ell
fective use Of buttons is one greatly
in demand this season, and this mod
ell with its wide box pleat is excep-
tionally desirable. In this instance it
is made from one of the new fancy
cotton crepes, but it will be found adj
mirably well adapted to linen and
madras and to all wasting materials.
The wide box. pleat and the plain
spaces between it and the shoulders
allow unusually good opportunity for
the display of hand embroidery, and
embroidery on linen and materials
of the sort will make a notable feat
ure of spring and summer waists. The
small, close fitting one-piece sleeves
finished with three tucks at the lower
edge of each are among the later
models and much liked, but regula-
ton shirt waist sleeves can be substi-
tuted if preferred. In short the
waist will be found an excellent one
for the odd blouse of almost any sea-
sonable material, and also for the en-
tire gown, whether that gown is made
of linen, chambray or something OF
the sort or from, cashmere or similar
light weight wool.
The waist is made with fronts and
back. There are three tucks in each
front 1t the shoulders and the closing
is made beneath the wide box pleat.
The tucked sleeves are close fitting,
and can be either scanned for their
entire length or closed with buttons
and loops for a short distance above

Blessed is the Christian who works,

for the tears now, for he can look
forward to the hour when he shall
come to the harvest home, bringing
his sheaves with him. He bears eGt;-
lily the noise and the wounding of the
battle, for he hears prophetically the
music Of victory, and knows that he
follows a. Captain who has never
known defeat, aid that the Joy of vic
tory, like the JOY of harvest, shall
more than compensate for all life's
weary toll and all earth's strife and

Chief Market for Copra

The Importation of copra. the dried
meat of the cocoanut. into the limited
States has Increased greatly in the last
two years. 1t is practically all received
at San Francisco. That city is also ex-
tending its factory operations for the
utilization of copra The importation
Oh eopra into. this country during the
calendar year 1908 amounted to 17.177.-
1856 pounds, valued at s471,5o1, against
2,952,0lS pounds, worth S117.61S in
1906. The import price during 1906 and
1907 averaged about 4 cents per poi,nd
whereas last year it dropped to about
"a cents, in keeping with the reduced
rates on so many articles of commerce.
The ruling price of copra in Ceylon at

pound The shipments of .copra from

take all the copra offered for shin
ment on its January trip. and in Feb
ruary the quantity shipped filled all the
available space that could be allotted
to that product of this colony.
As most of the copra shipped during
January and February was old stock
and as two of. the leading exporting
firms took advantage of the low rates
offered by the schooners to make large
shipments, 1t is not to be expected that
such shipments will be maintained
