A Resrettable Incident.

A Harvard professor was called on for
a speech at his wedding supper. He was
a man Of deeds, not words, and entirely
unused to making speeches, but he finally
succumbed. and, rising nervously, laid
his hand on the brides shoulder and said:
My friends, this thing has been forced
upon me-" Which would have been well
enough, except for the unfortunate cir
cumstance that the bride was very
homely and had literally been matched
with the professor by her masterful
mother.

The Thrifty French.

The thrifty French spend their incomes
only for necessarles; they buy luxuries
only with the interest of what they have
saved and placed in productive enter
prlses. That is why the French get along
without booms or panics, and have money
to lend in the United States at good rates
of interest. The French people have
learned the secret of abiding wealth.

Kindness ought to be the rule with all
farm animals Not simply for the rea-
son that it makes the animals bad to be
treated wrong but because no person
can do that and not himself be made a
little worse than he was. Character is
made up of little acts. Kindness builds
a good, clean, strong, true life. And
surely that is what our boys and girls are
most anxious to have.-[Rural Life.
