THINGS We CANNOT AFFORD.

I & y I'll K
We can't afford to win the gain
That means another's loss;
We can't afford to miss the crown
BY stumbling at the cross
We can't afford the needless jest
That robs us of a friend;
We can't afford the laugh that finds
In better tears an end.
We can't afford the feast today
That brings tomorroW's fast;
We can't afford the farce that comes
To tragedy at last.
We can't afford to play with fire,
Or tempt serpent's bite;
We can't afford to think that sin
Brings any true delight
We can't afford with serious heed
To treat the cynic's sheer;
We can't afford to wise mems words
To turn a careless ear.
We can't afford for hate to give
Like hatred in return;
We can't afford to feed flame
And make it fiercer burn.
We can't afford to lose the soul
For this worlds feeting breath;
We can't afford to barter life
In mad exchange for death.
But blind to good are we apart
From Thee, allseeing Lord;
%, grant us light that we may know
The things we can't afford.

THE IRISH CONVENT GIRL.

In all my experience of converts,
covering some thirty years or more,
have never heard word of scandal
whispered concerning nun, writes
Katherine Tynan-Hinkson in the Cath
Ole World. No one will deny the nuns
their foibles, they would hardly desire
that; but the image of the nun to
those who knew her best is always
snow-white! snow-white! and ones
thought of nun is always thought
of the Madonna.
In the country know best, the con-
vents are usually recruited from quite
young girls. Tt is one of the argu-
ments against them that girls, go into
converts without knowing their own
minds. Very often they go in from
the convent school, Sometimes a girl
will come home; and laugh and dance
and have her fun through a year or
two; then she will slip away to the
convent. They are the merriest girls
who become nuns. One hears now and
again of girl dancing all night at
a ball, coming home in the small hours
and taking off the fnery with a laugh
and sigh; then slipping away during
the morning hours to convent and
putting on the black gown and veil
of the postulant. The irresistible call
is often answered with pangs. 1t is
not a thing one does lightly; and
have seen girl at merry picnic
turn suddenly white on receiving a
letter which Summoned her to the con-
vent earlier than she had expected to
go. But they go willingly; there is
no doubt at all that they go willingly;
and the great remuneration being over,
you will find on visiting the convent
the girl who was the life and soul of
her home and festivities she joined in,
transformed into still merry, demure
little nun, whose jests delight the
community room and the recreation
hour as late they did another audi
ence.

DO NOT BE A SECONDHAND MAN

You can hardly imagine boy say
ing: Il am going to be second-class
man. don't want to be flrst-class,

ondclass jobs are good enough for
me-" Such boy would be regarded
as lacking in good sense, if not in
sanity. You can get to be a second
class man, however, by not trying to
be q frst-class one. Thousands do
that all the time, so that second-class
men are a drug on the market.
Second-class things are only wanted

EXPERIENCES OF A NOTED MIN
ROD.

Claude G. Rite, who ON the first of
January next will become Judge of
probate Of this county, went into the
woods hunting few days ago with a
number of friends. This was Claude
first experience after the festive deer
and we understand that some Of the
exseriences will not be forgotten very
e4ily. OF course we have all heard of
the novice having what is known as
buck fever and hitting everything in
sight except the big buck less than
three rods away.
Fin Morrison and all the we'll known
hunters had this same experience, so it
will be nothing surprising when we
-tats that Mr.. Rite certainly had the
buck fever. II is claimed that nice
big buck stood off about two rods and
allowed Rite to blaze away at him
i've or six times and only became
frightened when the limbs OF the tree
near which he was standing began TO
fall around him. He then took to the
woods with q look OF disgust depicted
all over his features.
Rite however was fortunate in get.

forest This time he was lying down.
all unconscious OF the mighty nimrod
who was on his trail. Rite blazed
away and with yell, "I've got him. =
pulled out his knife aud prepared TO
let out his life blood. But sad to relate
the buck had evidently been dead for
many days. which the worthy judge
elect found out as soon as he moved
him.
Mr.. Rite succeeded however in bag
ging buck before returning home and
\ therefore ~ we'll pleases over his
work as though he had never had the
buck fever.

effects of which were communicated
through the arms and wrists TO the

causes outside of the body could be- de-
tected, and it soon became obvious that
the view held by other men of science
is correct-that the operation Of the
"diviniug rod is generally due to un-
conscious movements of the body or of
the muscles Of the hand. The experi-

TRIES SUICIDE BECAUSE
WIFE is EXTRAVAGANT

Oscar Kramer, about % years old,
address unknown, shot himself
through the temple in Hurley's coal
yard, Grand River and Warren-aves.
Tuesday evening, and is in a critical
condition in Grace hospital, while eff
forts are being made to locate his
wife, to whom he had written a let
ter, unaddressed.
The letter stated that he was tired
of living, as he could not make both
ends meet with the amount of money
she was spending The letter was
addressed simply to Dear Adeline.
A postal card from a brother in Pitts
burgh was found in Kramers pocket.
II showed that Kramer had made an
effort to borrow some money from
him, but the brother stated he could
furnish no money, and that Kramer
would have to get along as best be
could.
Kramer had obtained a position as
motorman for the ID. U. r. only a
few days ago, stating that he had
come here from Pittsburgh a month
ago.
Hospital authorities said, Wednes.
day, that his condition is critical. and
that they have found no information
concerning him other than that con
tanned in the letter and postal card.
