RUTH ROGERS SIDE COMBS

the egg money, ard some facts leaked out concerning her home and the hap py life there.
 Why didn't you take those side combs may venture to ask, when you were spending your own money r in quired her companion who had given her name as Mrs. Alton. Ruth told her story frankly, adding: T have plenty of combs, but fancied those.''
 Well, you have helped me very greatly, and l want to leave you a souvenir of our short acquaintance. Please let me give you those combs, and give me your address if you: will You say you often come into town. find it very irksome to do so. I wonder if you wouldn't be willing to do an oc. casional errarld for me as a favor" Ruth readily agreed to do so and gave the address desired. In return she receive d Mrs. A1ton's residence which she wrote down carefully and tucked away safely with the other con- tents of her shopping bag
 Ruth was in plenty of time to meet her father at the appointed hour, and enjoyed telling him all the events of her happy day. On reaching home they were repeated for her mothers benefit, and her purchases displayed for her approval, which was cheerfully given You have shown good judgment, Ruth" said her mother. I am sure could not have done better myself, but who was your new friend?" Then the name and address were produced at which her mother exclaimed in won der: Why, she is very wealthy wo- man. who has a lovely residence for 8 summer home. How strange that she should notice you, but probably you will never hear from her again. so don't exepct ft.''
 But she did hear from her before long. The lady in question called at the farm to express her gratitude for Ruth's help, and repeatedly sent her commissions to attend in town. You have a very capable and lovable daughter" she said one day to Mrs. Rogers. Has she ever desired further education in any line?''
 Mrs. Rogers was forced to admit that they had not been able to satis- fly her wish for further instruction in music, for which she seemed to have more talent than for any other accomp- lishment. "She can play very well on the piano novs> but does not feel satis- fled in that difection.''
 Let me do that for her." begged her guest You know I have no daughter and I am very much attached to Ruth, It would be a real favor to me to al- low me to do so.'
 After consultation with Ruth's fath- CT, the matter was arranged, and Ruth was to spend the following winter in Mrs. Altons city home, and devote her time to music. How happy the decision made Ruth need not be said. In spite of fears of homesickness she gratefully accepted the offer and thereby enabled herself to gain employ ment as teacher of music in school near her own home. A generous sal- ary made 1t possible for her to render life in old age easier for her parents and furnish them aid which she could not have given them by remaining in the home nest.
 long way from side combs, you may think. but Ruth traces 1t all back to the day when she earned her side combs, and thereby made acquaint- ance with Mrs. Alton.
 AN IDLER.

Every one of US indulge in more or less wrath; and when our wrath boils over we do discreditable things. It is self -control which takes man closest to Godlikeness; and temper let loose which takes him farther from God. These passions represent the storm; and their control the peace be stilr' which produces the calm. This is where the invoked spirit gives us power. Uncontrolled anger approaches lunacy-it makes of it's victims ire
 sponsibles. You may not have thought how closely selfishness and anger are associated-it is the supremly selfish who are liable to become in anger most violent. The man who idolizes himself pleases the devil. The more self is suppressed the easier is the spirit of love expressed. Anger is weakness-love is power. Anger calls for repentance-love is a fount of per petual joy.

As the man in the valley I cannot help thinking of the broader view of the man on the hill. What a variety of horizons we have The city dWeller has long look upward. but he usually looks down. The dweller on the plain sees the guest approaching in the morning who greets him and he enter tains at evening. The shore dweller sees where sky and ocean meet, and beholds the glory of the heavens re- f1ected in the water and the fury of the winds expressed in crested waves and roaring breakers; but the man on the hill sees hill answering to hill with the valleys and streams and hamlets between, and the glory of dawn and sunset, and all that lies between sun set and dawn. Natures changing moods are a moving picture which never lacks variety, never has ar end. Eternity is written across the sky, and the whistling winds say: Ever more!
 The birds seem to sing "Allelulias," and even time recognizes it is naught.

We should be disposed to credit the Almighty, both with wisdom. and be- nevolence. He seeks to lay no impos- sible burden on the sons of men, The weight imposed on the individual life is only such as 1t is able to carry.
 That fact, however, is by no means always apparent. There are people all about us taxed with excessive burdens. Look at the everlasting of many of the worlds workers: Engineers and signalmen on the stretch for 12 and IA hours breaker boys aroused in the gray dawn for the long shift in the mines; little girls in the tenements sewing on endless garments, when they ought to be sleeping or at play. The world is full of excessive and un- required toil
 this is not the will of God. He has not fastened these weights upon men. They have put them on each other. Our human greed, laziness and cruel ty, are responsible for the overload ing of the lives of our fellows. Mans inhumanity to man" 1t is that makes these countless thousands mourn" In the good time coming when gospel principles really shall have worked their way into society that sort of in justice shall be done away with.
 Sometimes we overload ourselves. Many a life craft is sailing across the sea of time with decks almost awash and ready to sink through carrying needless burdens. In our ignorance or vanity we take on more than we can do. We make practise of going De-

Prowlers by the wharves will notice certain marks painted on the hulls of vessels awaiting cargo. These indicate the depth to which craft may be weighted down by its burden. Since the time of the English merchant Samuel Plimsoll, father of the mer- chant shipping act of 1876, manners must observe the limits of safety. The capacity of each vessel Is a matter of computation. It is a crime to send a ship to sea overloaded

Since we form our own habits why should we not see to it that we estab- fish a habit of cheerfulness rather than a habit of gloomy foceboding? Why should we recount our dIsappointments instead of our blessings-why nurse our troubles instead of rehearsing our joys. It is the state of our mind which gives us facial eXpression-turns the corner of our mouths up or down, and marks us either as a pessimist or an optimist. Man is the only self build ing and self repairing machine, and a self-maker The coGntenance that shines with goodness only reflects the heart back of it-it mirrors a temper amental condition. Beauty may be only skin deep, but it has to be mind sustained The thoughts which turn the mouth down spoil V hat might be 8 better picture.

Too many people wreck their lives through discomfort. They are never glad they are themselvs. but are con- stantly wishing they were someone else. They are chasers of opportunities they hope for instead of those right at hand. The person who is trying to be someone else Is facing a forlorn hope, and does not know 1t. You can only be yourself, and yourself is your problem in life-you are to make the most of every situation and to do with faithfulness and sincerity whatever to be a skillful artisan than to be an upon what you would do if you had Bills chance; but determine to do well what has fallen to you to do. It is more to your credit to be a good trench digger than a poor preacher; or any sort. Be yourself, believe in your inefficient professional gentleman of any post. Be yourself, believe in your self recognize your own ability and carefully apply 1t, and all will be well xxi

THE MAN WHO TALKS

It Is exceptional when June, the month of roses, also parades as 9, month of frosts. June 1913 has the questionable honor of having a real ice-maker on the morning of the 9th. How Thomas Wentworth Higginson's tribute to June reads en such a June as this. God offers us yearly neck lace of twelve pearls wrote he, most men choose the purest label in June, and cast the rest away An old say ing this; Tt never clouds up in June night fer rain. but it did on the night of the 20th, and a needed downpour was the result. This June in memory must have been night mare without that blessed rain. Mackerel skies and skies decorated with mares tails have not proven re- liable tokens offcoming rains. Flora's children have been blighted with thirst as well as shrivelled with frost. and the gardens have been as lean as razor hog in southern pine woods. There was nothing rarer than rare day in June 1913.
 How to overcome sleeplessness is not an easy problem as the many remedies for it clearly show. All drugs which compel sleep, could of course, as readily force us to die. Hot drinks of water or milk, or the little lunch in he'd. or the hot sponge ap- piled to the spine, or the mental ex- ercise of counting over and over 100, or the concentration of mind which debars all else except thoughts of rest, do not always result satis- factorily; neither does the well-trained imagination which calls up pictures of summer scenes and singing birds mountain tops and magnificent views, pebbly beaches and purling waters, clear lakes and beautiful shadows, flower bedecked fields and wonderful sunsets; and, yet, one and all of these mia away and called in the god of energy and the poise which makes life a delight rather than a burden.
 Some one has said it is better to be filled with hope than with dope, and a few people do not appear to have any hope without dope and when out of dope are out of hope. But still, the first averment is true-it is better to be filled with hope than with dope; and it is more economical. for hope doesn't cost anything outside of men, tai endeaVor. Too much dope is death to hope. 1t is also profitable to hope against hope, as it is to agree to dis agree. Don't entertain discouragements don't invite disputes Hope has been defined as the anchor of the soul, and declared to be the last thing that dies in man." Shakes peare says: "The miserable have no other medicine except hope" so it is up to us to see that we take our medicine and knock out des- pair. The mind that flies from hope to hope always has a gleam of sunshine oI,o i
