This Is My 65h Birthday
SIR JOHN KIRK.

Sir John Kirk, secretary of the Rag
ged School Union of London, who was
knighted by the late King Edward in
recognition of his services to the poor
OF England and the empire, was born
in Leicestershire, June 10, 1S47. He
began life as a clerk in the Pure Liter
ature Society and was induced to as
sist in the evening in a local ragged
school. His work attracted attention
and he was asked to accept the posi-
ton of assistant secretary to the Rag
ged School Union. This he did, sue
ceeding in 1867 to his present position
as secretary. Sir John is considered
one of the foremost English authorities
on certain branches of charity work,
particularly the care and education of
cripple children. The Ragged School
Union, of which he is the active head,
was the first organized society in the
world to deal with slum children and
waits. In his sociological investiga-
tons Sir John has visited many parts
of the world, including the United
States and Canada.

Heart toHeart
Talks.
LOOKING FORWARD.
By EDWIN A. NYR.
Remember Lots wife"

That unhappy woman. fleeing from
The destruction visited upon the cities
| Of the plain. hankered for the heshpots
| she was leaving.
| Looking backward. she was trans
fixed and changed into a pillar of salt
! Harsh penalty?
j Maybe. But the story carries a val
| liable lesson.
| And that lesson is that the golden
age is not behind you. in the past. but
| In front Of you. in the future.
| Let the dead past bury the past. You
may have regrets concerning your fail
ures or your sins, but do not let those
| regrets get in front OF you and impede
| your going.
Remember Lots wife.
| The old idea that man has fallen
! from some great eminence TO lower
plane Of life is giving way TO the new
| idea that he Is slowly struggling up
ward out of imperfection into strength
| Of character and purity Of living.
Keep your face TO the front.
You are not what you want to be or
what you ought to be. but you never
will be what you should be or long to
be If you go about forever mourning
| on account Of your mistakes and lapses.
You will be like the prisoner who
drags behind him his ball and chain.
Forget the things that are behind.
If you have truly repented of your
sins the Omnipotence that has forgiven
them has in his mercy forgotten them.
Though your sins may have been as
scarlet. they shall be white as snow.
God is through with them. Why should
you tie them on your back and go
stumbling?
1t takes time to grow a man.
The bud that is slowly unfolding
cannot be expected to show forth the
sweetness of the full grown flower.
Flowers are not made.
They grow.
And so of humans, You are in proc
ess of fashioning. The lily is not the
less beautiful because its roots are in
the mud.
Do not weaken yourself by sorrow
for your misdoings. Look not back
ward TO the cities of the plain where
sordid sin abounds, but forward to-
ward the better country toward which
you are travelling.
Remember Lots wife
About face. Heed not the call of the
irrev Ocable past. and
Forward march.

A NORWAY I4oend.

According to n work on Norway, the
scantiness of the soil in that country
is explained by some of the country
people as follows: At the creation OF
the world the angels whose duty il
was to scatter the soil forgot Norway
Seeing this. the guardian angel Of the
land made complaints to the Creator
What was to be done? Impossible to
start the whole Of creation for the sake
of Norway. Come. my little angels.
said he; look carefully and perhaps
you may still find little earth" The
conscience stricken angels swept the
floor Of heaven. and the little dust they
found they gathered in their draperies
and scattered over the Norwegian
rocks.

A Prize Definition.

A notably amusing answer was given
by student in the natural philosophy
class at Edinburgh university.
Professor TAFT had given as one of
the questions In an examination paper,
''Def1ne transparent, translucent and
Opaque" which was dealt with by the
student thus: 81 cannot precisely define
these terms. but I can indicate their
meaning in this way: The windows of
this classroom were once transparent;
Jhey are now translucent and if not
Steamed very soon will be opaque"
The answer gained full marks from
NE amused professor.

FALSE EYEBROWS.
The Process Of Stitching the Halrs

The Process Of Stitching the Hairs
Into tho Skin.
At a certain factory a number Of
young women were working at small
tables, each table covered with little
instruments and odd things which
only those who knew the business
could possibly understand. at one
table two girls were threading needles
with fine silky hairs and sewing them
IN little squares on a thin transparent
gauze.
Those girls" said the overseer, "are
making some Of those beautiful arch
ed eyebrows you may sometimes see
on the stage. They are frequently
worn by both actors and actresses.
These sewed on the net are the less
expensive kind and are only used on
special occasions. The real brow is
very expensive and can only be made
by a person Of great skill.

The brow must be arched and cut
down with the utmost delicacy, and
a number OF hours Is required to do 1t.
''Small as the eyebrows are. they are
very important in the makeup of the

Rupture-as explained in our free

as a broken bone can't knit" unless
the parts are held securely together.
And-just as a bandage or splint is
the only way a broken bone can be
held-the right kind Of truss is the
only thing in the world that can keep
a rupture from coming out.

you get that kind of truss.
And you can get exa-tIy that kind OF
truss-without risking cent OF your

It's the famous cIuthe Truss or

Far more than a truss-far more
than merely a device for holding the

Lincoln Day Proclamation

Pierre, Jan. Ex-Governor Vessey
has issued the following Lincoln day
proclamation:
In honor and comemoration of the
great Lincoln. our state legislature
has set aside the twelfth day of Feb
Yuary in each year as a legal holi-
day, and at this time desire to re-
commend a general observance by
South Dakota's entire citizenship of
the anniversary now near at hand.
1.-The record of Abraham Lincoln's
life is so Incorporated into and so
closely allied to the history of our
country that with it all Americans
are well acquainted; with his early
hoyhood. his youth. his maturity;
aud by America and all the civilized
world he is revered as a hero, as a
martyr. and as a man.
Although he was born in poverty
and his earlier years were passed in
obscurity and an environment of
toll and difficulty, the innate forces
and qualities of his mind were such
