IN HONOR PREFERRING ONE AN.
OTHER

Paul's father had given him a
spotted pony for birthday present.
When Gyp was led into the barn lot,
Paul was so delighted that he could
hardly contain himself. He ran out
and told Joe, the negro man, to sad
die him up right away, for he wanted
to take a ride through town before
dinner. In few moments Paul was
on his pony's back and at the front
gate.
Just then his mother came out Of
the door and called: why Paul, are
you going to leave your cousin Sam
here all alone? You know he just
came this morning, and he's crippled
and can hardly get out of DOORS"
80, mamma, l forgot" Paul re-
piled; 81 won't be gone long. I'm
just going up town and back"
well, get down and ask your cou
sin Sam to excuse you," the mother
commanded.
Paul dismounted, tied his pony to
the hitching-post, then went into the
house.
paul, I am afraid you have for
gotten the golden text of your Sun
day-school lesson" his mother sug-
gested. You know you said you
would try to live up to it,
Lets see," began Paul. Be
kindly affectioned one to another
with brotherly love; in honor prefer
ring yes,-Cousin Sam, I tell
you what we're going to do. Mann
ma will help you on Gyp, and you
shall have the first ride. I'll lead
him for you, and We'll go right up
through town."
Sam had begun to clasp his hands
with joy. Wont that be great"
he cried; then added, but I expect
you'd better take the first ride,
Paul"
mo, no." Paul replied, 'I'll feel
better to have my little cousin in
itiate my pony for me"
So PauIs mother helped Sam out
to the fence and lifted him on the
pony's back, and they started Off It
was hard to tell which boys heart
was the merrier-The Children 5

L BEAUTIFUL HOME.

"Of course. in the end, it all comes
to this: The beauty Of a house de-
ponds almost wholly on the adapta
ton Of its design to its surroundings;
don't you think so, judge?''
They had been discussing various
styles Of house architecture and, at
the college mans question, the Judge
er and matching his finger tips
thoughtfully together, answered:
Yes, from your point Of view I sup
pose it does; but good deal more
of it's beauty depends on adaptation
to other things besides the location.
There's good deal more to it," con-
tinued the judge, deliberately.
The most beautiful home I ever
visited would have been beautiful
anywhere, and yet I'm not at all sure
about the adaptation of its design"
and he smiled quiZzically. Still, it
was a beautiful home for those days
and it was surrounded by lawns and
gardens. There were swings and
sky-parlors in the trees, there was
brook where you could always fish,
and there was a pond where you
could always fall in-and I often
did" The judge chuckled.
But it wasn't so much the beauty
of the place in itself that I remem-
Der; it was the use it was put to. It
was because other peoples boys were
always enjoying it, and the little
tots from the orphans home. They
used to romp and gather chestnuts
or flowers and then sit down and be
filled up with good things to eat.
And I can see them now, on the floor
of the drawing-room, eating ice
cream around the lighted Christmas
tree. It was a beautiful drawing
| room and there were mnay artistic
things in that home, but it's chief
beauty to me was that almost always
there was someone enjoying it who
needed it's comfort; a tired mission
airy from India with thrilling stories
for US boys, or tired stnographer
from the city who regarded her stays
| in that home as sort of visits to
heaven. The books were always be-
ing lent to those who hadn't many
the garden was always being shorn
of its fruits and flowers, the car
riages were always out-carrying the
invalids to drive, or the ministers
wife to make calls, or some old lady
back to spend the day. And the dear
! lady herself-the soul of this home
how beautiful she was!"
Yes" said the Judge, leaning
back in his Norris chair, I've seen
many beautiful estates, in different
parts Of the world, but l never
knew any that gave as much pleas
ure as that one; I have never seer
any ones carriage which went on sc
many errands of mercy; I've beer
in a great many fine and artistic
homes, but I've never seen one tha
seemed as truly beautiful as tina
home. Oh, no, boys, the real beauty
of a home depends on a good dea
besides an artistic design and it.

HOW TO SELECT YOUR CLIMBING
VINES.
Macon, Ga.

A house almost entirely covered
with vines is quite as unsatisfactory
as the yard so filled with shrubs that
all traces of the lawn are lost in
general effect Of thicket. We often
see houses so overrun with vines that
scarcely anything of the house is in
evidence.
One good vine, trained up the
house walls, and prevented from
rambling where there seems to be no
need of a vine, will afford much
pleasure, says the New Idea Woman's
Magazine for July. But, in order to
secure this result, the character Of
the vine used must be understood be-
fore planting, and it must be given a
place where its attractions can be
given ample chance to display them
selves.
A vine that has a tendency co go
away up, up, up until it can hang its
festoons of greenery from the cornice
seems sadly out Of place when obliged
ing. Such vine is our native Am
pelopsis, better known as American
ivy or Virginia creeper. This cannot
do itself justice unless allowed to
climb to a considerable height, as it
always does when growing in the
forest and along streams There it
chooses a lofty tree for it's support,
and it is not content until it reaches
it's tOpmost branches. When planted
by house, it will be sadly ineffective
if it cannot Chamber to the second or
third story.
The celastrus-generally known as
bitter-sweet-is a native plant OF
great value for house use, if the right
kind of support can be given it,
1t has no tendrils, but climbs by
tightly coiling it's branches as il
grows.
We often find old plants of its
growing over trees into whose
branches it has embedded itself sc
deeply that it cannot be separated
from them. The best support fol-

Little Bessie Berry vas almost al
wavs late for school She vas al
most always later for everything II
wasn't because she had TO run err
randx or mind the baby. but because
she xas an "Tn-a-minute" and \
"Pretty-soon" and an "After-awhile
little girl. who liked TO dilly-dally
better than anything else In the
world.
There acre some other children In
Bessie's room who we're often tardy.
50 the teacher began 10 wonder what
she could do And soon she thought
OF something She went 10 the seeds
man and bought some seeds They
were aster seeds in paper packets
Listen. children" said the teach
er. How many OF you ever had q
flower garden?"
Bessie had; most OF the children
In Bessie's class had.
Then the teacher said a nice
thing: These seeds are for you
one little packet for each one in this
room"
Here Bessie raised her hand:
Please. may pass 'em?"
But the teacher shook her head.
One for each one in the room" she
went on, who isn't tardly a single
time this month"
That wasn't all. They would plant
the seeds. and after awhile have flow
ers And then the scotsman would
give a prize to the boy or the girl
who had the finest flowers. 1t was
really two prizes,
So the children looked at the seeds
longingly, and promised they would
not be tardy one single time. And
some weren't. But Bessie was-four
times.
The next month was April, and the
tardy ones tried again. Bessie was
tardy twice They were to try once
in May.
TRY, try again" said Bessie's
papa So she tried again. And
mamma helped. Every morning and
afternoon she said Seeds" when she
kissed her little girl good-by. Bessie
said Seeds" over and over all the
way to school, and didn't dilly-dally
once. And on the last day of May
I she took a packet of seeds home.
Bessie and her mamma planted them
right off They didn't dally-dally
about it at all Bessie hoped she
might win the seedman's prize.
But it was late and dry, and the
n N
Only one Seeding grew. Papa called
it a dilly-dally flower. It just would
not catch up with Clara Bells, across
the street. But Clara Bell had won
her seeds in March.
When the day for the flower show
was nearly come, some of Bessie's
friends had big blue and white asters
in their gardens, and Bessie had one
fine aster plant, with hard, green
knobs at the top. Every morning
she counted the days that were left,
until at last a bit of white showed
in one of the knobs. But then there
was only one day left. So every
body, even Bessie, knew that it would
be a tardy aster, just as Bessie had
been a tardy little girl.
When at last the day for awarding
the prize came, it was a very, very
sad Bessie who stood in the back gar
den looking down at the tardy aster
while all of her little friends, with
| hands full of punctual asters, went
| to the flower show. Wasn't it too
| bad? But it must have been a good
lesson for Bessie, for she doesn't
dilly-dally any more.-Lulu G.. Par

DATE AND DABITUR.

It is remarkable how often liberal
givers are blessed of God. He en-
dows with greater means of giving
those who can be trusted to do good
with their means. Luther used to
tell a parable in illustration. He
said there was in Austria a monastery
noted for its gifts to the poor. The
for it's wealth. The monks began to
hoard the money instead of giving it
to the needy. Soon the monastery
became poor. One day saint in the
guise of mendicant went into the
monastery and asked for aims. The
monks told him they had none to
give.
do you know why the treasury
is empty?" he inquired.
The monks gave several reasons.
None of these is the real reason
said the saint You once had two
brothers in your monastery named
Date and Dabitur. You thrust out
Date, and then when Dabitur felt
lonely withou his brother he left OF
his own accord"
The monks protested that they
never had such inmates.
Have you forgotten your Latin
too?" asked the saint. Date means
give; and Dabitur, it shall be given
to you. When Date is again an in.
mate of your house, Dabitur will re-
turn, and your treasury will no long
er be empty. "-Watchword.

But got a book and settled down
AS comfy as could be
I'll tell you I was offul glad
To have my pa about
To answer all the things | had
Been tryin 10 find out
And so | asked him why the world
Is round. instead Of square,
And why the piggies' tails are curled.
And why don't fish breathe air?
And why the moon don't hit star.
And why the dark is black?
And Just how many birds there are,
And wlll the wind come back?
And why does water stay in wells,
And why do June bugs hum,
And what's the roar I hear in shells,
And when will Christmas come?
And why the grass Is always green,
Instead Of sometimes blue,
And why a bean will grow bean,
And not an apple, too?
And why a horse can't learn TO moo,
And why a cow can't neigh?
And do the fairies live on dew,
And what makes hair grow gray
And then my pa got up, an gee!
The offul words he said,
I hadn't done a thing, but he
Jest sent me off to bed.
