IN WINTER DAYS.

When autumn breezes rattle at the easement,
And whistle through the pine-trees at the
door:
When squirrels store up nuts without abate-
ment,
And cora-stalks pile up on the old barn
floor;
When robins in large hocks begin to chatter
About the journey southwark. near at
hand,
And crickets shrilly chirp about the matter
OF winter days when they will all dis
band -
We dream of joys beside the nresids wait
ing
The book. the game, the quiet social hour
When we again may think of spring birds
mating,
OF sleeping bud unfolding into flower
Winter would have no sterror to appel US
Did we but mate our action and desire
Unto the duties that forever call US,
And bid US cen though storm bound to
acquire
The faith that holds the bird poised in mid
ocean
Above storm-tossed sea, its wings out
spread,
Conscious that through life's turmoil and
commotion
We shall be safely and securely led.

THE ECUADOR BLANKET TREE.

Blankets grow on trees in Ecuador,
and while the idea of an atwood
sh-from-the-forest bed covering
might give insomnia and a backache
to the child of civilization who likes
to snuggle comfortably under several
layers of down and wool, the natives
find it all right, as in fact it is.
When an Ecuador Indian wants a
blanket he hunts up demajagua tree
and cuts from it five or six-foot Sec
ton of the peculiarly soft, thick bark.
This is dampened and beaten until
the f1exibility of the sheet is much in
creased. The rough, gray exterior is
next peeled off, and the sheet dried in
the sun. The result is a blanket,
soft, light and fairly warm, of an at
tractive cream color. 1t may be roll
ed into a compact bundle without
hurt, and with ordinary usage will
last for several years.-Harper's
Weekly.

JUST FOR A LEAD PENCIL

Tell IL = really story. father.
said Howard. Is he and his little
brother Dick took their positions On
the arm OF their fathers big rock
ing chair.
Very we'll" replied their father,
If You sit real still. III tell you 8
true story about a lead pencil. Il all
happened when | vas little boy, and
went TO school in q little red school
house that stood a. the edge OF a
grove along a country road. One day.
Ned Wilson came TO school with q
pretty lead pencil-a brand new one.
In those days. pretty colored lead
pencils were not as common as they
are now. Well. all the boys admired
Ned's pencil. and most OF them want
ed TO make trade with him. He
was offered all sorts of things In ex-
change, but Ned would not part with
his pencil.
One day the pencil was missing.
The whole school at the recess period
helped to hunt for Ned's pencil. FL
nally one OF the boys shouted. Here's
a pencil that has nearly all the paint
scraped of. / found 1t on Tim
Turner's desk" 1t was examined,
and there was a tell-tale bit of paint
left on in one spot that proved 1t was
Ned's pencil.
Tim had coveted Ned's pencil and
finally stole it. Then to cover up his
theft. he scraped the paint off,"
Howard looked up into his fathers
face a moment. and then said: Say
father, that boy broke about three
of the commandments all for a lead
pencil. Selected.

BOYS WHO BEGAN WORK EARLY,

AS general proposition, the boys
of this world who became much as
men began work very early in life
They had no lazy bones in them, and
as soon as they had strength and
knowledge to do something helpful,
they wished to be up and at it.
At six years of age Benjamin
Franklin was dipping molds for can
dies. He wrote in his after life: at
was uncommonly hard work for my
age, but it kept me busy, and l was
content with it,
At the same age, Elias Howe, who
was to give the sewing machine to
the world, was sticking wire teeth
through leather straps used for card
ing cotton. He earned the first mon
ey for his education in that man
ner.
At six Peter Cooper, one of the
greatest philanthropists the nation
has known, began earning money by
pulling hair from rabbit skins.
John Erickson, who invented the
monitor type of fighting ship, from
which the modern submarine boat
has been evolved, before he was
eleven years old, with file, gimlet,
and jack-knife as his only tools, had
made a miniature saw-mill. 1t was a
marvel of ingenuity. He used an old
watch-spring for saw blade, while
broken bit of tin spoon turned
the crank.
Thomas Edison was a newsboy on
the trains when he was twelve years
old. During the hours when he was
not on duty he fitted up small labo-
ratory in the corner of baggage car,
and there made his earliest expert
ments. He was reading and digest

but valuable work, Fresenius's equal

CONCERNING IDLE WORDS.

1--WE must give account of every
idle word" said an old Scotsman,
drawing down his face and frowning
upon an irresistibly humorous re-
mark of his nephew.
The nephew was silenced, but not
convinced. When he grew to man
hood and entered upon the ministry.
one of the first discourses he gave
was upon humor. Recounting the in
cident narrated, he said, among 9TH
er things: "Humor Is God-given.
Man is the only creature with a soul,
and the only one that is endowed with
a sense of humor; he is the only crea-
ture that can laugh. Think you God
would have given him the sense of
humor and the power to laugh If
these gifts were to be throttled? We
must give an account of every idle
word, yes; but what are idle words?
/ will tell you. They are lying words,
unkind words, slanderous words, vile
words, shallow words" Legitimate
humor never hurt any one. Instead,
it has done an untold amount of good.
Abraham Lincoln, during the terrible
days of the Civil War, was criticised
severely for telling and listening to
humorous stories. His answer was
that it helped preserve his sanity.
Robert Louis Stevenson, the beloved
writer, puts humor as one of the first
three attributes he would choose.
1t is a great mistake to try to
throttle ones sense of humor. Rath-
er should it be cultivated. 1t will
make life happier and easier for you
and all about you. But remember,
true humor does not scar; 1t does not
hurt. Il Is beneficent. The gentle
Charles Lamb Is capital exponent
of it.-Exchange.

This is a happy ideal Of what a
Sunday should be. We do not wish
TO return 10 the severity OF the old
Puritan Sabbath. but We should strive
10 observe Sunday in such a manner
that the entire household may be
strengthened and refreshed spiritual
ly. mentally and bodily for the trials
OF the following week.
During this day, especially. should
parents and children talk about the
spiritual things of life. Discuss such
objects reverently. but as freely and
naturally as the general news OF the

question of giving, or not giving. re-
ligious instruction, the law OF newt
able teaching Ia in full force, for q
parent Is forever leading his child to
be religious or irreligious.
The proper observance OF Sunday
is one of the essential factors in de-
veloping the spiritual nature. AL
though by commands, requirements
and explanations the whole week
should tend toward the laying of the
fundamentals of Christianity, Sunday
should be the emphasis laying time.
Stress the duty of being reverent,
conscientious and obedient to Gods
wise and unacceptable laws. Teach
the children to love what Is pure,
honest and of good report, as pains
takingly as though they were being
taught to read and write.
II this close degree of spiritual
intimacy between parents and chill
dren is kept up, the bond Of SYM
pathy will grow stronger and more
tender as the years go by. 1t will
not be necessary to urge the children
to unite with the church, for 1t will
be the simplest and most natural
thing in the world for them to do SO.

had often refused his escort rudely,
thereby depriving them Of a possible
entertainment.
AS he let himself softly into the
hall, the sitting room door being ajar,
he heard some conversation between
his mother and older sister. Milly
was saying: 'If only Ellis would con-
suit our pleasure and go with us
sometimes, 1t would be 80 nice. Now.
here Is this missionary from Japan
with all those lovely stereopticon
views, going to give the very finest
lecture ever heard on the subject, and
we can't go because we have no gen.
tleman to go with u.s."
81 shouldn't worry very much
about the going" replied her mother,
eff only the boy would stay at home
with us sometimes. I feel dreadful
ly uneasy about where he spends his
evenings; I wish we could hit upon
some plan that would make Ellis ap-
preciate his home more" And the
mother sighed great big sigh that
liked to have broken the heart of the
listening boy.
He did not wait to hear more, but
slipping out as softly as he had enter
ed, ne hurried down to Prang's book
store, where tickets were being sold
for the missionary lecture at twenty
five cents for adults and fifteen for
children. He bought four, for he had
little sister Of ten years, and start
ed for home at rapid pace. On the
way he met Price Decker. "Say,"
said the latter, "be sure and be on
hand for the show, Ellis. We fellows
are all going to meet at the Eighth
Street drugstore and go together.
Going to have the time of our lives;
the tickets are selling like mad; got
yours YETI"
Ellis flushed. What would Price
say if he should tell him what he
had really done? He hesitated a mo-
mept. Then a feeling of shame and
scorn over his unmanly cowardice
forced him to confession. "Why, no,
Price," he said, you see, I have
changed my mind. I found the dol
lar would little more than buy four
tickets for that missionary lecture,
and my mother and sisters want to
go, and-well, the fact is, had
talk with Stuart Holmes, and I find I
owe my folks good deal, and it is
about time I began payment"
He looked for Price to laugh, per-
haps sheer little, but he didn't. II
remember the superintendent Of our
Sunday school saying something
about that" he said, "and he urged
us all to go to it. I wish I hadn't
bought my ticket to the show, and
I'd go along with you and take my
mother and the kids; they kind of
limited they'd like to go; I'll sell it If
I can"
1t seems that he could and did, for
the first person Ellis saw when he
entered the lecture room was Price
with his folks smiling and happy.
Smiling happily himself, he murmur-
ed: "I'm mighty glad Stuart
Holmes told me of his previous en-
gagement': I think I'll form a perma-
nent engagement with my folks after
this; I didn't know they were such
all-around good company; guess I'm
just beginning to- get acQuainted."-

Oyster Stuffing for Turkey.-Make
stuffing for turkey of large cupful
Of crumbs, seasoning with parsley,
sweet marjoram and thyme, and
moisten with melted butter. Chop
twenty small oysters fine and mix
with the dressing. If you prefer you
may leave the oysters whole. With
this stufing fill the breast of the tur-
key.
Fried Oysters to Garnish Turkey
For this you must select fine large
oysters, take them from the liquor
carefully and dry on a soft cloth. Dip
each oyster in powdered crackers,
rolling it over and over until well
coated. Fry them in enough hot but
ter to cover them when you put them
in the frying pan. Take out the mo-
ment they are done and lay around
the edge of the hot dish in which the
turkey is established.
Cranberry Sauce.-Put one quart
of cranberries over the fire with half
pint of cold water and let them cook
until broken to pieces. Add a pound
of sugar and cook until this melts-
no longer, as lengthy cooking tends to
make the sauce bitter. Take from
the fire and set aside to COOL
Corn Pudding.-Chop two cupfuls
CT canned corn and beat into it two
eggs, whipped light, half a pint of
milk in which has been dissolved a
pinch of baking soda, tablespoonful
of melted butter, a tablespoonful

With whisper and rustic and start and hush,
The dry leaves murmur tree and bush
On somber pines, with boughs bent low.
Forsaken nests are piled with snow
The chickadees, alert for seeds.
Chatter and cling to the swaying weeds.
The snow drifts deep in the country ways
And short and cold are the cherries days
Yet, fair on the brow Of the frozen night
The Christmas stars shine. large and bright.
