Not Altogether a Case of Love.

point that one never can judge by APP
pearances.
A young boy with golden curls, a
regular cherub in appearance, was on
the front porch playing with little
dog and putting him through a lot Of
tricks A minister passed by and was
struck by the appearance of the little
chap and the celebrity with which the
dog obeyed all his commands.
"Ah, little boy" he said, you must
love your dog. Are you good to him."
Sure" answered the cherub.
"And l suppose he loves you, too,
and that's why he minds you so well?"
We'll, if he didn't mind me, I'd
knock his blooming block off" was the
unexpected retort of the child.-Ex.

The Pleasures Of obscurity.

It is apparent from this anecdote,

story. although 1900 years old, can
still be fresh and amusing. 1t Is a
personal anecdote of Chuang Tzu, a
brilliant Chinese writer and philoso'
pher of the fourth century B. O.
Chuang Tzu was fishing in the P'u
river when the Prince of Ch'u sent two
high officials to ask him to take charge
of the administration Of that province,
Chuang Tzu went on fishing and,
without turning his head, said: II have
heard that in Ch'u there is a sacred
tortoise that has been dead some 5000
years and that the prince keeps this
tortoise carefully inclosed in a chest
on the altar of his ancestral temple.
Now. would this tortoise rather be
dead and have its remains venerated
or be alive and wagging its tail in the

1T would rather be alive" replied
the two officials. land wpgging its tail
In the mud"

TELL WHAT'S IN THE SACK.

A boy who was sent to market with
a sackful of rabbits fingered around
town all day and went back without
selling them. When asked by his
father why he had not sold the rabbits,
he said no one asked him what was in
the sack. How many of our merchants
are like this little boy? They have
plenty of goods for sale, but fail to
tell the people what is in the sack. If
you expect to sell goods in this day
