A lady received the following re-
ply from neighbor in answer to n
question as to why she allowed her
children and her husband to lite:
up every room in the house. The
sentiment will find Judgement in the
heart of every home-loving person
in the land. THE mark of the lit
tie muddy feet upon the floor can
be easier removed than the stains
where the little feet go into the high
ways of sin. The prints of the lit
tie fingers on the window panes can
not shut out the sunshine half SO
much as the shadow that darkens
the mothers heart over the one
who is but name In the coming
years. And if my John finds home
refuge from care and his greatest
happiness within its four walls, he
can put his boots in the rocking
chair and hang his coat on the door
any day in the week. And if l stand
it and he enjoys it, | cannot see that
it is anybody's business.-EX.

If you think you are smart, says
an exchange, just see If you can
answer these questions: You have
seen hundreds of white horses, why
did you never see a white colt?
Why does a horse eat grass back
wards and a cow forwards? Why
does hop vine twine to the left and
a bean vine to the right? Why does
a horse when staked out by a rope,
unwind the rope, while COW winds
it up into hard kinks? Why does
a horse get up on his front feet first
and a COW on her hind feet? And
why does a dog always turn around
three times before he lies down?
