his uncontrolled temper, became con-

to a number of friends and relatives

principles, his entire change OF char

" guilty, but was acquitted. greatly to
the surprise Of the presiding Judge.
The jury had been out two days con-
sidering the case, without reaching a
conclusion. Then the judge called the
fury into court and asked what the
difficulty was. The foreman said:
Judge. there is only one thing that
Is troubling us. Was the prisoners

tanned by the prisoner himself?"
The prisoner Is man Of means,
said the Judge, and no retained his

The boat surged swiftly on, while
again and again Amber's finger trem-

He did nothing save resign himself
TO the issue. AS they drew nearer the
moonlit walls he looked in vain for
sign of a landing-stage, and wondered
the lighted bund that he had seen

a pause until the moment when u
seemed that he intended to dash the
boat bows first against the stone;
then. with a final dextrous twist OF
the paddle, he swung at sharp angle
and simultaneously checked the speed.
Under scant momentum they slid
from moonlight and the clean air OF

arch and into q cayernous chamber

first met Labertouche under auspices
hardly more prepossessing than these.
The clang of the door closing be-

the entrance of the corridor. Amber
held him with sharp question.

Many men are said to be self
taught No man was ever taught in
any other way. Do you suppose man
to be bucket to be hung on the well
of knowledge and pumped full? Man
is creature that learns by the exer-
ton of his own faculties. There are
aids to learning of various kinds; but
no matter how many of these aids a
man may be surrounded by, after all,
the learning is that which he acquires
himself. Whether he is in college or
out of college, in school or out of
school, every man must educate him
self And in our times and in this
community every man has the means
of doing it.

Some mothers will not tolerate any
correction of their children's manners
by the teacher, taking it as direct in
suit to their home training, when it is
bua the result of childish heedlessness
or self-will. No greater injury can be
done teacher than to condemn her at
home in the presence of pupils. There
are many-they usually allude 20 .
teacher as chool-marm-who persist
in believing and encouraging that a
school teacher is never to be regarded
with other than suspicion.

SO you may have noticed how when one
fly adheres to the sticky surface. it's
companions, instead of profiting by the
horrible warning, Immediately buzz
down and go to destruction in the same
manner, and in little time there are
hundreds in the throes of death. They
are fools, to be sure, and SO are men.
Men see their associates caught in the
nets of vice. There are examples and
warnings all about human being, but
they treat them as lightly as do flies
and step down to death just as insane
ly.

The fighting and quarreling Of
neighbors is foolish and costly
pastime. You will lose friend or
two, a whole lot of self-respect, and
a whole lot more of the respect your
acquaintance had for you, and very
likely have to your discredit a long
list of cnss words and foul epithets. If
you come to think about it in nine
cases out of ten, the cause of it all
is SO childish that any sensible per-
son must afterwards honestly blush
for shame.

exertions can afford unnecessary ex-
penses. He must deny himself extras
or always remain poor. Even five

$lS.s5 in one year; and one who saves
that sum will be much ahead of the
one who spends 1t. And the habit of
saving will be worth everything. If
he saves Sls.25 each year. only putting

would in twenty years amount to $3.50.

gence. He who would in u few years

noted breeders Of thoroughbFeds
in the United States, is due not
only to the wisdom and sound
Judgment of that gentleman but
also to the bone and muscle which

the cattle have gone up on blue
grass pasture the last OF March,
part of them coming down usually,

Christmas. The long grazing

most important industry, and there
