The POSTAGE Stamp.

Consider the postage stamp. 1t says
nothing regarding the difficulty of the
task assigned to it, but by dint Of close
application it usually gets there; also
it delivers the goods.
Again, If one isn't enough to carry
the thing through. two or more by
working harmoniously together see the
thing to a finish.
No matter if the (maiD matter be
weighty, 1t puts good face (of Wash
ington, on it and goes directly to the
point. 1t gets licked and stamped
upon. and men besmirch its fair fea-
lures and ofttimes give it more to
carry than the postah union allows.
But. in spite Of all this. it sticks un-
finchingly to the matter in hand by
virtue of the fact that 1t knows that it
has good backing.
Its stick-to-it-ivity is worthy Of en-
ulation by you.-Judge's Library.

A PAROCHIAL
EXPLANATION.
Parsons Love Story Much Like
That of John Alden.
By CRAIG CORNISH.

copyright by the International Literary
and News Service.
The Rev. Ichabod Duren thoughtfully
stroked his quill pen and adjusted his
glasses more evenly on his nose and
proceeded TO write his sermon. in which
he was pointing out the error Of allow
ing merely temporal things TO inter-
fere with those of eternal significance.
Ichabod was a plain. earnest man who
worked faithfully at the problems OF a
parish in colonial Virginia which were
much like those of every parish every.
where. only that he had come into
closer touch with his people than have
many ministers before and since his
day.
Ichabod bit his pen in hope of inspira-
ton, but his thoughts would turn from
his theme to one of the younger men
in whom he was deeply interested and
of whom lately he had seen but little.
James Hopkins came in through the
open door and patiently waited for the
parson to finish the sentence which he
was writing. This Ichabod finally ac.
complished and became aware of Hop

rassed caller with some amusement.

Still, I'll try"
Hopkins looked appreciative and Of
fered the parson pinch Of snuff. Then
he rose, and the two men shook hands,
and Hopkins went out into the sum
mer world.
Ichabod looked after him as he went
away with some complacency. SO 1t
was this that had been keeping him
away! He would straighten out mat
ters with Sally Dawes. The girl was
fool not to keep man like Hop,
kins If once she had the luck to get
him. Meantime there was his sermon
so he went back to the table and again
gently rubbed his nose with his feath-
cred pen and tried once more to get the
drift of his argument.
The next afternoon IchabOd rode over
to the Dawes plantation. where he
found two of his younger brethren en-
joying themselves in Miss Sallys COM
pany. With patience and long suf-
fering he waited until they reluctantly
had gone. and then he proceeded at
once to deliver his message.
"And he's a worthy man. and you
should be ashamed to treat him to
whom you're betrothed In such fash
ion." he ended.
Sally listened attentively and ar
ranged her neckerchief.
IT'S no different from the way I
have treated the Others" she answer
ed at last. with no attempt to seem
impressed with her own faults "If
James Hopkins would come a-wooing,
let him bespeak himself and not go
bothering the parson."
ITS no such great bother" replied
lchabod candidly. with the air of one
who valves the point merely of guam
tity. ''only you don't seem to under.
stand what your actions mean to
James Hopkins. He's no man to be
forever chasing after woman. There
are many girls in the county who'd be
glad of him."

The Stino of a Bee,

An eastern fable tells of potentate
who demanded that there should be
brought to him the stings of a thou
sand bees killed because one of their
COLONY had dared commit lese majesty
by stinging the hand of royalty. When
they were brought in tiny golden
thimbe the king was so amazed to
find that a thousand of the hypoder-
mic points made such q little mass
that he issued manifesto to the eff
feet that thereafter no person within
the bounds Of the kingdom should
complain at the sting of a bee. The
lesson of the fable is that petty an
noyances hurt because they are exag-
gerated in the mind; that when they
are seen in their actual proportions
they are so slight as to merit only
contempt How much comfort would
come to the majority of persons If
they could but see the tiny size of the
bee stings that lead them to acts of
petulance. words of anger. expressions
of reproach The bee sting annoy
ances have caused lifelong breaches of
friendship. They have broken up fam
lilies and caused anger and resentment
to take the place of love and fealty.-

Queer Collateral,

Here is a fact as strange as 1t Is
true" said an Psychologist. Mum
mics in ancient Egypt were used chief
ly as collateral.
"When an Egyptian wanted to bor-
row he gave his fathers or grand
fathers mummy as security. Some
times. II he required large sum, he
gave his father and both grandfathers.
and he would even throw In the mum
my of his mother-in-law IL she for
tunately happened to be in mummi-
fed state.
Joking aside" the Psychologist con-
tinued, what | tell you is the truth.
An Egyptian was not permitted to
borrow without pledging the mummy
of some near relative. 1t was deemed
in Egypt both impious and Infamous
not to redeem so sacred a pledge as
that, and he who died with a family
mummy still in pawn was himself
buried in unconsecrated ground"

The very high sounding word eti-
quette had a very humble origin, for
etiquette meant simply a label. 1t de-
rived its present meaning from the
fact that a Scotch gardener who had
laid out the grounds at Versailles for
Louis XIV. was much annoyed at the
courtiers walking over his newly made
paths and at length had labels placed
to indicate where they might walk
At first these labels were ignored. but
q hint from high quarters that in fu-
ture the walks of the courtiers must
be within the ''etiquettes' or labels
was promptly attended to. To keep
within the "etiquettes" came to mean
to do the correct thing.

MERCIFUl CAESAR.
A Story of the Great Roman and a
Band of Pirates.

A Story of the Great Roman and a
Band of Pirates.
Caesar Travelled with the retinue of
man of rank. and on his way to
Rhodes he fell in with an adventure
which may be something more than
legend. When he was crossing the
Aegean, his vessel is said to have been
taken by pirates. They carried him
to Pharmacusa, an island off the Ca
rian coast. which was then in their
possession, and there he was detained
for six weeks with three of his attend
ants, while the rest of his servants
We're sent to the nearest Roman sta
ton to raise his ransom.
The pirates treated him with polite
ness. He joined in their sports. played
games with them, looked into their
habits and amused himself with them
as well as he could, frankly telling
them at the same time that they would
be hanged,
The ransom, very large one, about
10000, was brought and paid, Caesar
was set upon the mainland, near Mi
letus, where, without q moments
delay, he collected some armed vessels
returned to the island, seized the
whole crew while they were dividing
their plunder and took them away to
Pergamus, the seat of government in
the Asiatic province, where they were
convicted and crucified. Clemency was
not a Roman characteristic. 1t was
therefore noted with some surprise
that Caesar interceded to mitigate the
severity of the punishment. The poor
wretches were strangled before they
were stretched on the crosses and
were spared the prolongation of their
torture.-James Anthony Froude.
