A Persistent Office Seeker,

Governor Stanley of Kansas was
once so pestered by Office seekers that
he found it necessary publicly to make
the statement that in view of the ex-
ceedingly numerous applications for
Office he had received through the
mails he should be unable to give any
attention to them. much less afford
any hope of success to the various ap-
plicants.
In the course of a few days after
making the statement in question the
governor received the following note:
MY Dear GOVERNOR understand
that you have said that you were 60
Ing to take week off to destroy the
pile of letters asking for jobs. If ev-
erything else is gone. then. my dear
governor. | should like the job of tear

Words of STRENGTH.

There are three lessons ! would write,
Three words as with burning pen,
In tracing of eternal light
Upon the hearts of men.
Have hope! Though clouds environ now
And Gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow.
No night but has it's morn.
Have faith! Where'er thy bark be driv-
The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth-
Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,
The inhabitants Of earth.
Have love! Not love alone for me-
But man as man thy brother call
And scatter like the circling sun
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these words upon thy soul
Hope. faith and love-and thou shalt
find
Strength when life's surges rudest roll,
Light when thou else were blind.

Too Hot to Put on Paper.

When Mr. Carnegie started in the
steel business he was resolved to re-
duce the appalling accidents incidental
to the work. And he was very sue
cessful in executing this resolve. A
part of his success was due. no doubt.
to the blank slips that every foreman
had to fill up when one of his hands
got hurt. A certain workman had one
day the bad luck to suffer a slight &C.
cident. His foreman. an illiterate but
honest chap. filed out promptly the
slip which is now preserved at Skibo.
The slip ran:
"Date-March 5. 1880.
"Name-James Miles.
Mature of accident-Toe crushed.
"How caused-Oxdentle blow from
sledge.

Scrap Book
Just as Good.

The Connecticut delegation to a
Republican national convention at Chi
cago took along a lot of badges. each
ornamented with wooden nutmeg
SAYS the Saturday Evening Post. The
badges were very popular. The dele
gates from other states thought it a
great Joke to wear a genuine Connect
icut wooden nutmeg. Presently the
man who had charge of the badges
came to Senator Brandegee and said:
Senator. we're in fix. All our
wooden nutmeg badges are gone, and
there is still a great demand for them
What can we doY
"Get some more.'
"But there are no wooden nutmegs
in Chicago. We had to have these
especially made for us back home.'
"An right" directed Napoleonic
Brandegee; go down to grocery
store and buy 400 or 500 real nutmegs
and stick them on the badges. They'll
never know the difference"
And they didn't.
