Maby Horse Had a Thirst

hitched the animal and started to lead
it into the barroom to the great as
constituent of the proprietor, who
wanted to know what right he had tc
bring horse into the saloon without
permission.
As the animal was led in front of
the bar it caught sight of another big
black horse in the mirrors along the
back bar, and started to prance. So
did the other horse. ana for few
minutes Rabold and the driver had
hard work to keep the highly nervous
animal from doing serious damage. A
longshoreman who had been seeing
double for an hour or more imagined
that the place was full of pranGfng
horses and lit out with whoop. The
horse was finally urged through the
front door of the saloon, but it got
stuck in the outer storm door aad its
pilots had to back him into the bar
room for the purpose of removing the
harness. Then they tried the exit
again and the horse cleared it in ane
shape.

The Rush for Wealth.

There are multitudes of people in
the world today who are steering and
sailing for Ophir, simply because it is
the land of gold. What will they do
if they reach their desired haven?
They do not know. They do not even
ask the question. They will be rich
They will sit down on their gold Let
us look our desires squarely in the
face. To win riches, to have a GER
tain balance in the bank, and a GER
tain rating on the exchange, is real
object, :, definite object; but it is a
frfghtfully small object, for the devo-
ton of human life, and a bitterly
disappointing reward for the loss of
an immortal soul. If wealth is our
desired haven, we may be sure that
It will not satisfy US when we reach
it-Henry Van Dyke.

For Slippers,

1t is comparatively lately that the
slipper case of chintz has been made
to fit the slipper. Heretofore the
closet door seems to have been the
final aim and object of the cutter.
The pieces of applied chintz that
hold the slipper are now made toe
shaped, so that each dainty slipper fits
perfectly into it's own socket and is
held in place. When all is said and
done, the hanging case that accom-
modates a full line of shoes and an
other case for the daintier pumps and
slippers will prove more useful than
separate bags for each pair.

90 Years Young

We feature elsewhere in this
issue an editorial recently from
the pen of our editorial neigh
bor, D. M. Harris, as one
worthy of attention today,
which marks the completion of
his 89th year.
The workings of the human
mind are always interesting.
To find a man at 80 years, so
clear in all his faculties as to
note with keen serenity, the
stiffness Of the Sabbath even
ing, doubly interesting, as COM
ing from one who can say and
feel that Eternity, thy shores
are drawing near.
To have reached so ripe an
age and yet to have kept so
firm a hold on life and all its
pleasures is indeed ga consum-
nation devoutly to be wished. !"
But to have lived over S9
years Of the worlds most active
period, and to have witnessed
the wonderful achievements of
that time and then at its con-
clusion to be able to view it all
with a mind so serene and clear
as to be able to see the wonder
full progress of man in relation
to- the earthly and heavenly
things, must be to him a great
pleasure as he draws near and
nearer to the river we all must
cross, and to that city not made
with hands.
We join today in the general
congratulations of such long
life and good health possessed
by our neighbor, who though
in his Goth year is able every
day to do his stunt in the edi-
torial harness, to walk. to ride,
to sing, to enjoy as we all do
the joys of life and even to
read without glasses. Long
may he live yet, respected for
his best qualities and forgiven
for his worsar ones.-A. III.
