GREED NEVER WINS.

The story of the man who killed the
goose that laid the golden egg is
centuries old, but it applies just as
forcibly today as it did in the time
of good old Aesop. Like the owner
of the goose, many and many man,
nowadays, overreaches himself, be-
cause of his greed. AS we said, once
before, no community prospers when
any part of it fails. Town and coun-
try must grow together.
But, says the greedy man, l can
send to Blank & Co. of Chicago and
get my goods much cheaper than
Jones G Co. sells them here. In this
world you have to look out for No. l
or if you don't you go under. Actuated
by this motive, the greedy man buys
from the mail-order house. If there
community the country town near
which he lives degenerates into a
hamlet-a mere whistling station on
the railway. With the passing of the
growth of the home town, the value of
farms decreases, and the men who
would not trade at home wonder
wherein they have lost out and why
new capital is not attracted to their
community
A great American writer has lately
said: 1.-THE preservation of the home
trade to the home towncarries with it
the preservation of many of our Am
erican institutions" Any man who
looks into the philosophy of our ma
tional life must agree with him. The
big careless jostling city is a mere
wilderness of strangers, each indif-
ferent to the other and each hound
only on his own mission of gathering
coin for himself In the country town
the real American spirit of friendli-
ness and common interests lives and
grows. Back in New England, where
the country towns have been killed by
city trading, the old farms have gone
to decay or are occupied by colonies
of foreigners from southern Europe.

A BOY WHO STOOD BEFORE
KINGS-AND WHY.
BY Matthew Henry Frank

About a hundred years ago two
boys were born in little village up
in Maine. They were cousins and the
name was Hamlin. Playing together
as boys will, they often asked each
other: What are you going to be
when you grow up?" Cyrus said he
would be a missionary; and he had a
strange motto for small boy: "Seest
thou a man diligent in business-he
shall stand before kings; he shall not
stand before mean men" Cyrus of
ten wondered whether it would come
true. Hannibal said he did not pro-
pose to waste his life on any heather.
man.
And Hannibal carried out his pro-
gram to the letter. He was Vice
President under Lincoln. Historians
of our country grudgingly allow half
an inch to say: Hannibal Hamlin
was born in Maine in 1909. Was
Vice-President under Lincoln, and
died. That's ALL
Cyrus worked his way through
Bowdoin College, was ordained and
went to Constantinople. His dreams
as a missionary was to found an
American Christian college. Fer
many years he worked at great odds.
He was not allowed to purchase any
real estate. People in America were
willing to furnish funds, but il was
of no use.
There came time when the proud
general of the British army bowed
the knee to an American boy. A
great army was in Russia fighting the
Crimean War. They were almost
starved. The general heard of an
American who had a bake oven.
(Hamlin was compelled to give his
pupils work and food because they
were astraciZed at first.) Hamlin bak-

A TRUE STORY.

Some years ago young man came
from the West to Pittsburgh, as a
student. He did not know solitary
human being in either of the Twin
Cities" At his clearinghouse he
was asked where he thought of going
to church. He mentioned the place
he had chosen, because it was near at
hand. WELL" the questioner re-
piled: "They will soon freeze you
out from that congregation"
'I'll give them a chance to well
come me, anyway" was the rejoind-
er. 81 don't believe they are as cold
as you think
The next morning found the stu
dent waiting in the vestibule for an
usher to show him a seat. All Of
them were busy at the time, and the
young man waited-did not run out
of the door, just waited until some
one had a fair chance to notice him.
After a while he felt little squeeze
of his arm from somebody behind.
He turned, and was confronted by a
rather stout gentleman of strong but
kindly features. There was but one
word of inquiry-"Strang
Eyes, sir" the young man replied.
Come with me to my seat"
Stranger" obeyed. Shortly after
two ladies entered the same pew.
Not a word was spoken until after
the benediction. Then the stout gen.
tleman uttered another interrogatory

she sank into a chair with a discOur-
aged look on her face. 1--WE sent him

forget it, as he generally does; then

replied; "only have a little decision,

| ooh, WE'LL" said the father, "busi-
ness before pleasure. No doubt there
will be other parties you can attend
that is, if you don't forget when
they occur"
The boy was sadly disappointed,
but he knew that remonstrance
would be useless, as his fathers word
was law, however much he might dis
regard his mothers commands.
It was a long way to the village,
and it seemed even longer coming
back in the dark, and the lonesome
Journey was rendered particularly
unpleasant by the thought that his
playmates were enjoying fine time,
the pleasure of which he had been
deprived of by his own needlessness.
The next morning Harry showed
his father a hand-bill of a menagerie
to be held in the city Of c, TWEEN

day. Excursion tickets by rail at
one-half fare were offered. Mr.. Ben
