I'LL DO MY BEST.

| may not paint a perfect masterpiece,
Nor carve a statue by the world con-
fessed
A miracle of rate; yet will not cease
To do my best
My name is not upon the rolls OF

'Tis on the page of common life I'M
pressed,
But I'll keep marking, mail king just
the same,
And do my best.
And if l see some fellow traveller rise
Far, far above me, still with quiet
breath
I'll keep on Notwithstanding toward

And do my very best.

But | must try to be so careful lest

A JOLLY TREE.

If you never have planted Jolly
Tree,
Don't wait for an Arbor Day,
But take a bit of advice from me;
And do it without delay.
1t starts from little, smiley seed,
And quick as flash twill sprout;
And when you have tasted the fruit,
indeed,
You never will be without
AS soon as the smiley seed is in,
At once it begins to grow;
And the dear little giggly-buds begin
Their gay little heads to show.
And truly amazing it is to see,
How in less than a wink and half,
A giggly-bud can grow to be
The jolliest kind of laugh!
The fruit is a cure-all. the doctors
The very thing for the blues;
And when it's applied in the proper
way,
Is good for bump or a bruise,
Plain bread and butter treat will be,
With jolly sauce on the tray.
Oh, come, let us plant a Jolly Tree,
Nor wait for an Arbor Day.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
WHEN PHILIP FOLLOWED HIS
FATHERS ADVICE.

Il will be a gardener" said Philip,
when he was fourteen years old, and
was thinking of learning trade: ct
is delightful to live always among the
green herbs and fragrant flowers"
After a while, however, he came
home again, and complained that he
was constantly obliged to be STOPPING
down, and creeping about on the
earth His back and knees had begun
to ache and so he had given up gar
dening.
Philip next wanted to be a hunter
1T is gallant life," said he, Gin the
green, shady wood"
But he soon came back and COM
planned that he could not endure the
keen, early morning air, sometimes
bitingly cold, and pinching his nose
His next idea was to be fisherman.
''To glide along the bright, clear
stream in a light skiff,' said he, with
out ever stirring limb! to draw nets
full of fish out of the water!-this is
real pleasure!"
But this pleasure, also, soon dis
gusted him.
ut is wet work." said he; ''the
water is quite unsuited to me-
At last he resolved to be cook.
"To the cook" he said, "the gar
dener, the hunter, the fisherman must
hand over all that they obtain for their
toll; and, besides, he never can want
for delicacies."
But once more he returned home
complaining.
cit would all be very WE'LL" said he,
''if it were not for the fire. But when
I have to stand before the blazing
crate, I feel just as if I should melt
away with the heat
This time, however, Philips father
no longer INDUCED him. He would
not permit him to choose another
trade, for the fifth time, but spoke to
him very sensibly.
eff you wish to live contentedly,"
said he, you must learn to bear the
grievances of life with a manly spirit;
the man who would escape all the
varied inconvenience the four
elements have in store for us, must
leave the world altogether. If you
but remember the good which never
fails to accompany our present cir
cumstances, your hardships will
gradually appear mere trifies in your
eyes"
Philip followed his fathers advice;
and afterwards when others oom-
planned, he consoled them by saying,
I have learned by experience what the
meaning of the old counsel is:
What God permits, humbly enjoy;
Whate'er His law denies, forego:
Earth has no bliss without alloy,
And Heaven has balm for every
Woe"

GROWING GIRLS.

Growing girls do not always appre-
ciate that it is while they are grow
ing that they are forming their figures
for after life, says Sunday Reading.
Dropping the shoulders little more
every day, dropping the head as one
walks, standing unevenly, so that one
hip sinks more than the other all
these defects easily corrected now,
will be five times as hard in five years,
and twenty-five times as hard in ten
years. A graceful, easy carriage and
an erect, straight figure are pleasure
to beholder and possessor, and are
worth striving for.
An easy way to practice walking
well is to start out right. Just before
you leave the house, walk up to the
wall and see that your toes, chest and
nose touch it at once; then, in that
attitude, walk away. Keep your head
up and your chest out, and your
shoulders and back will take care OF
themselves.

LOOKING FOR A GRIEVANCE.

There is nothing quite so easy to
find as a grievance. It can be made
to order in a seconds time, no ma,
terial other than the imagination be-
ing necessary.
BY being on the watch for insults
and injuries one has little time for
the sweet enjoyments of life.
Plenty of work is the best remedy
for sensitive individuals and
seIf-control- determination and will.
Half of ones griefs are only imagin-
airy. Have you ever wished you might
have returned to you the precious
hours spent in suffering over nothing?
We all need work. We all need rest.
But above all we need the proper
light of understanding that keeps us
clear from the pits of arguments, the
swamps of morbidness, the stumbling
blocks of worry and grief.

CONFIDENCE BETRAYED.

There is a certain type of woman
who is eager to be confidante. She
wants you to tell her all your trou-
bles and she will hint around and
asked yelled questions until she usual
1y gets some material from which to
construct a sensational story The
only thing to do when a woman like
that lives in your neighbOrhood is to
shun her like poison, and when you
meet her, talk nothing more serious
than the weather or good recipe for
lemon pie, or how fond you are of
Crawford. But keep as far away from
personal topics as you can. It will
be good mental discipline. Of course,
it isn't always easy to hold ones ton
que when in difficulties, but it is the
best thing not to say a word. For
however real your sorrow or trouble
is to you, if you confide it to friend
you may be shocked to find that she is
less interested in it as a chance to
prove her friendship and sympathy
than she is to pass it about as choice
morsel of gossip. Two-thirds of cruel
gossip starts from confidence betrayed.
The other third is caused by people
with horrid natures spying on others
and drawing wrong conclusions which
they rejoice in giving tongue to. You
all know the story of the barber of
King Midas, who was warned on pain
of death that he must never betray
the fact that the kings ears were
shaped like those of a donkey The
barber stood it as long as he could
and finally went out into field of
sedge and whispered the secret to the
grass. And the rustling sedges took
and wide. There are lot of people
just like the barber of ancient times.
A secret, be it their own or an
others, is too big for their capacity.
They just simply have to tell it
they cannot stand the strain of con.
trolling their tongues a moment longer.
You will always find the free betrayer
of confidence to have shallow and
rather mean temperament. He
is incapable of any great fineness of
nature or any nobility of deed or
thought. You would be careful with
other peoples money, because to be
otherwise would be dishonest. You
will not be careful of other peoples
words, yet to betray them is to be as
dishonest as to embezzle their money.
There is nothing to be gained by such
dishonesty At the most moment or
two of interest in your news-and you
often receive unknowingly with this
interest the scorn of the one to whom
you are speaking.

SOM DAY.

| cannot say when He will come
The Lord who ruleth earth and
sea-
But still, it nearer grows each day
The time when He will come for
me.
1t may be with the morning sun,
When all around seems fair and
bright
1t may be at the MONDAY hour
1t may be He will come at night!
But matters it not when He comes,
Or when His face my eyes shall see,
If | am ready for His call,
II | for Him prepared shall be-
At night or morn, in calm or storm,
In joy or pain, or hope or fear,
In sun or shade, all unafraid
God grant l be when He is near!
If | for Him my work have done,
With effort best of heart and hand,
Fen though l fail I shall not fear,
Because His love will understand.
Though blund'ring oft upon the way
And cropping where I cannot see,
I know the light shall break some day
And He, that day, will come for me!

A school teacher used to instruct
her pupils to walk always as if trying
to look over the top of an imaginary
carriage just in front of them 1t was
good advice, for it kept the head
raised. Don't think these things are
of no value. They add to your health
and your attractiveness, two things to
which everybody should pay heed.

Decrease Of Tax Assessments.

for 1912 indicate that there win be
a small falling off-probab1y about
az .0oe ,o0O-in the valuation of Lou
tsiana's taxable property as COM
pared with the 1911 assessment. An
increase of s9,0o0,00o in New Orleans
was largely offset by a decrease OF
