Clever Joke of Kind King.

King Edwards good nature was H.
Illustrated the other night by a London
correspondent at the Press club In
New York.
"The king" said the correspondent,
"was visiting Rufford Abbey, and one
morning, in company with his host,
Lord Arthur Savile. he took a walk
over the preserves.
Suddenly Lord Arthur, a big burly
man, rushed forward and seized a
shabby fellow with a dead pheasant
protruding from the breast of his coat.
Sir said Lord Arthur to the king,
this fellow is a bad egg. This is the
second time I've caught him poaching.'
But the kings handsome face
beamed, and he laughed his gay and
tolerant laugh.
ooh, let him CO. he said. If he
really were a bad egg, you know, he
wouldn't poach.'"

All Things Are Ours

1t is a shame, 1 say, to see them
that cannot husband that happy estate
which they have. They live as if they
had it not-so full of want, so full of
care and pride, so weak and unable
to master their sins; whereas the
fault is not in the power of faith, nor
in the promise, nor in the Lord; for
the Lord doth not grudge His people
of comfort, but would have them live
cheerfully and have strong consola-
lions and mighty assurance of Gods
loye.-Thomas Hooker.

several young girls who do not be-

them. Naturally, many of them are

girls and m~atrons whose tastes are
not so expensive and who have not
such a large income. Her generosity

CAN'T LEARN WIFE'S INCOME.

George Bernard Shaw is in a di-
iemma. His wife, he says, refuses to
tell him what her income is. The
income tax commissioners Of London
have asked him to find out what it
is. He can't because she refuses to
tell, and he VOWS he has no legal way
of compelling her to do so. eff l
had" he writes the commissioners,
cit does not follow that I>should be
compelled to incur the costs to obtain
information required not by myself
but by the State" The commissioners
say they must have the information
to make the returns required by law
and to report whether Mrs. Shaw's
income is more than $4,000 a year.
Shaw's point raises an interesting
question and shows that a woman
rsay conceal her income from her hus-
band, whereas a husband can be re-
quired by law to tell his wife what his
income is.-New York Press.

WORK OF CAROLINA WOMEN.


Four years ago in nearly half the
counties of North Carolina the aver
age value of the schoolhouses, includ-
ing grounds and all equipment, was
less than $40.
There were 1000 districts with only
a log schoolhouse. There were 1000
districts with no schcolhouse at all.
In many cases even the best were
ugly and dirty.
In 1902 some of the young women
of the State determined to try to re-
move this disgrace. They went to
work. They organized a State asso-
citation. The first meeting was held
at Greensboro in April of that ear.
Next came county associations, of
which all white women were invited
to become members, These now eX-
list in ninety-six counties of the State.
Many of these offer prizes to the
district showing the greatest improve
ment. A typical case is hat of Wayne
County, away up in the mountains.
Last August the association in that
county offered a prize of 500, which
was won by District No. 1.
The district is described in the
Worlds Work as containing only six
teen families with children of school
age. There are only forty children
on the census. The average at
tendance for the four months term
was twenty-seyen.
nf tho ciytnop 70 noi1ioc oil RIO fo rn1-
ers and only eight own the land on
which they live. Only Il of them
has had the advantage of a high
school education. Seven of them
tended only a one horse farm. Not a
mother in the district had any help
except what the children could give
night and morning.
Here is the account given by the
teacher of the way the school earned
the prize:
"When we went to the school we
found an old building, the roof of
which had recently beer taken from
an old church. The grounds were
small and cut up with gullies, covered
with trash, leaves and decaying
stumpS. The steps were nearly gone;
window lights were broken out.
1.-The county gave us panes; the
boys put them in. By Christmas we
had enlarged our yard to about twice
it's original size, taking up twenty
eight stumps. We levelled the
grounds and secured the floor and
desks.

CHOOSING A GOOD BOOK.

To fall in love with a good book is
one of the greatest events thai befall
us. 1t is to have a new influence
pouring itself into our life; a new
teacher to inspire and refine us; a
new friend to be by our side always,
who, when life grows narrow and
weary, will take us into his wider and
calmer and higher world.
Whether it be biography, introduce
ing us tt some humble life made great
by duty done; or history, opening
vistas into the movements and des-
TIMES of nations that have passed
away; or poetry, making music OF
all the common things around us, and
filling the fields and the skies and the
work of the city and the cottage with
eternal meanings; whether it be these
or story books or religious books o:
science, no one can become the friend
even of one good book without being
made wiser and better.
Do not think that l am going to
recommend any such book to you.
The beauty of a friend is that we dis
cover him, and we must each taste
the books that are accessible to us for
ourselves. Do not be disheartened at
first if you like none of them. That
is possibly their fault, not yours; but
search and search until you find what
you like.-Henry Drummond.
