there is a single goldfish. Hanging on
the outside of the tank is a placard,

by word of mouth:

There is only one in it.
We got it from a boy.
We do not know where the boy got It.
1t has never died.
We feed it whenever we want to.

You Are a Free Agent.

You have been told in plain Ian
guage, and on numerous occasions
during the past ten years, that the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance compa-
ny Of Newark, N. j., wrote the most
liberal policies of any company in bus
mess and carried out its contracts at
less cost to its policy holders than any
company in business. The statement
has been made because I know 1t to
be fact which no man can success
fully controvert, and one which no ex-
perienced insurance man will under
take to dispute. 1t Is possible that
since you first saw this statement,
you have insured in another company,
and without so much as testing my as
sertions. If you have, and insured In
one of the old established companies
there Is not a shadow Of doubt that the
contract you have is as good as the
average, but no better, and will he
lived up to by the company that issued
it. You are free agent and had a
perfect right to insure where you did.
as you are the man who pays tho
freight, but I respectfully submit that
as a free agent you should look before
you leap, and conserve your own inter-
est by securing the best values obtain
able for your money. If you have not
yet insured your life and your con-
science tells you that you should, you
will be doing nothing except looking
after your own interest, If you gain an
intelligent understanding Of what the
Mutual Benefit has to offer before
coming to a definite conclusion. If you
fail to do this, your loss will be great
er than mine. I shall be pleased to
show you, but unless you signify a de-
sire to be shown, it is possible, that IN
view Of the fact that there are 5000
men in my territory, who need Mutual
Benefit insurance, I may overlook or
fail to call on you personally.

JUVENILE BLOCKHEADS.
Stupid Boys Who Developed Into
World Famous Men.

There is quite a long record Of fa-
nous men who in their boyhood were
regarded as fools and dullards. Sir
Walter Scott was called "blockhead'
by his mother. The mother Of Brinsley
Sheridan despaired of teaching him
the simplest elements. Her death
aroused him to activity and he became
scholar, philosopher, poet, wit,
statesman and orator. Dean Swift,
the keenest wit of his age, was pluck
ed" at Dublin university. Newton,
Shakespeare, Michalengelo and oliver
Goldsmith all come in the category.
One day a slatternly woman rushed
out of a little grocer's shop gripping
an unkempt boy by the ear, and as she
pulled him along she shouted to her
neighbOr:
My heart is fairly broke with that
brat, Tammy. and he is so stupid he
can learn nothin'!"
That stupid brat Tammy became the
poet Tom Moore.
county, Ireland, a boy with a blunt
knife cut in the desk "A. w." the in
tals of his name. The teacher, who
caught him in the act, cried out:
Stupid, you are better at cutting
letters and destroying desks than you
are at learning your lessons!"
That boy was Arthur Wellesley,
known to fame as the Duke of Wei
lingtOn, hero of Waterloo.
In the middle years of the last GEN.
tury, in st. Malachy's college, Belfast,
a boy carved the letters &C. r." in the
wood. The French professor reported
him and declared that he was besides
a worthless boy, who would never
amount to anything"
Il will amount to more than YOU"
returned the youth.
He did, for he became lord chancel-

Called For Glory Oivine.-Among
the customers in a drug store one day
last week was a little girl who is
known to her playmates in that vicin-
ity as Peggy" AS she stood waiting
for her turn it could be noticed that
she was repeating something under her
breath in her effort to remember what
her mother had sent her to buy.
Mother wants five cents worth of
glory divine"
"Of WHAT" said the young clerk,
who was standing there as if stunned
by hard blow of a baseball bat.
GLORY divine. glory divine" came
the reply in a louder voice than when
she had made the original request.
You had better go home and have
your mother write it down on paper,
little girl" said the clerk, feeling that
the girl was too sure to argue with
him.
Soon she returned, and, handing the
note to the clerk he read, five cents
worth of chlorate of lime"-Philadel-

BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC

The Battle Hymn of the Republic
was written In 1861 just after Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe had returned from a visit
to a Federal camp and reads as fol-
lows:
Mine eyes have seen the coming Of the
glory of the Lord;
He Is trampling out the vintage where
the grapes of wrath are stored;
He has loosed the fateful lightning of
his terrible, swift sword;
His truth Is marching on.
l have seen him in the watchfires of a
hundred circling camps;
They have builded him an altar in the
evening dews and damps;
I have read his righteous sentence by
the dim and fiaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
have read a fiery gospel writ in bur-
nished rows of steel;
"As ye deal with my contemners so
with you my grace shall deal;
Let the hero born of woman crush the
serpent with his heel,
"Since God Is marching on"
He has sounded forth the trumpet that
shall never call retreat;
He Is sitting out the hearts of men be-
fore his judgment seat;
o, be swift my soul to answer him; be
Subilant my feet!
Our God Is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was
born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom that trans
figures you and me;
AS he died to make men holy, let us
die to make men free,
While God Is marching on.

A WITTY PASRA.
He Told the Missionary Story to Fit
the Occasion.

Official bribery is common in the
as a humorous story told by the late
Rev. H. H. Jessup, D. D., in his book,
"Fifty-three Years in Syria" bears
witness.
One day in 1873 DR.. Van Dyck,
manager of the press in connection
with the work Of propaganda Of the
Syrian Protestant college at Beirut,
was sent for by Kamil Pasha, the gov
ernor, to come to the serai, as he was
about to shut up the press for viola
ton of the press laws. DR.. Van Dyck
proceeded to the serai and asked the
pasha what he meant.
The pasha, holding up little tract,
said, WAS this printed at your press?
Yes"
"Thsn it must be confiscated. as 1t
contains an attack on the Turkish gov
ernment."
Wherein" asked DR.. Van Dyck,
docs 1t attack the government
The pasha pointed out several pas
sages which criticised the bribery and
corruption everywhere prevalent per-
jury and lying among witnesses and
public officials and the fact that truth
had fallen in the streets and equity
could not enter"
Are not these statements true ~
said DR.. Van Dyck. Your excellency
ought to put a copy into the hands Of
every government official in your pa
shalic. Is it not so?"
Have you never heard the story OF
the Cadi ell All War;" asked the
pasha.
And what is that?" queried the
doctor.
WELL" began the pasha, "once
there was a famous one eyed cadi
Gudge). One day man came to
court and addressed him as follows:
"'Good morning, o one eyed cadi! /!
May your day be blessed, o one eyed
cadi, I have heard of the noble char
acter and justice of the one eyed cadi.

revered one eyed cadi to do me JUS

No Seats.-Col. John Jacob Astor

cuum cups at the ends of the legs.
Thus, without being screwed down,
the new chair will keep it's position in
the widest sea.
There is need for my. invention,
said Col. Astor at Newport, for a
screwed down chair is an unhandy
contrivance, while a free chair in
rough weather. is so dangerous that 1t
puts you rather in the position of the
Norristown lunatic.
"A man was smoking and reading in
the shade of the Norristown asylum,
when a lunatic looked over the wall
and said:
do you happen to have piece of
toast, sir?"
No the man answered.
What a pity the lunatic sighed
and shook his head. What a great
pity, And I'm so tired!
Look here said the man, impa-
tiently, what the deuce do you want a
piece of toast fOr?"
why replied the lunatic, Tn a
