His Conscience Bothered.-The rag
ged wayfarer trudged up the garden
path bathed in the sunshine, and took
off his hat to the lady at the door. She
eyed him keenly and a look of recogni-
ton passed over her countenance.
Look here" she said, you call
ed at this house in the middle of the
winter"
Il did, ma'am," he sorrowfully ad-
mitted.
And 1 gave you a good meal on
condition that you sweep the snow out
of my back yard"
That's right. ma'am."
And when you had the meal you
went off without doing it,
The man passed the back OF his
hand TREMENDOUSLY over his eyes.
Yes, ma'am," he said, brokenly'
"and my conscience smote me. That's
why I've tramped all the way back
under the scorching sun, to finish the
job"

A Judicial Hint.-In the old days
when oral examinations were still the
thing, a California examining board
was pummeling an applicant with
questions from Blackstone, Kent and
other legal lights.
II didn't study anything about
these fellows" complained the appli-
can't
What did you study" asked one
of the judges.
II studied the statutes of the state,
he replied. Il studied them hard
Ask me a question about them and
I'll show you. That is where l got my
legal knowledge"
My young friend" said the as
tute Judge on the examining board
you would better be very careful
for some day the legislature might
meet and repeal everything you
know"

Sign Posting With Gun.-A CUR
which shoots signs into place has beer
invented, which in appearance Is mol
unlike a shotgun, says Popular Me-
chanics. The sign which it discharges
is rolled tightly about heavy stick
and a cord is attached to tack, which
is temporarily fastened, point out, al
one end of this. The other end of the
string is fastened to the top of the
sign.
When the instrument is loaded with
one of these and the trigger pulled
heavy springs furnish the propelline
force which sends the roll through the
air like an arrow, at whatever object
il is aimed. The tack imbeds itself
while the jar of the impact loosens the
sign and makes it unroll, falling into
place. Posters have been placed al
heights Of thirty feet from distances
of fifty feet and more with this unusual
gun.

Saving the Pennies.-It was a hard
headed Scotsman, and he was in con-
fict with that enemy of mankind, the
jobbing gardener. The question was
the price of a barrow load of potting
soil, which the gardener had just
wheeled in. The gardener demanded
a shilling: the Scotsman offered nine
pence.
Why, Sir" pleaded the gardener
gentlemen pay me nine-pence wher
they come and borrow my barrow and
take away the soil themselves"
"Ye're no tellin' me-" said the Scots
man. Then ye maun jist wheel that
barrow-!oad back again. I'll be room
at yer place in ten meenutes."

Yes. indeed, they did"
What's Albert doing?"

Unseen, Unknown
Future....

Many years ago the late Charles 4
Dana wrote a letter to little gil
who asked if there was a Santa Claus
Here are some extracts from it:
"Yes, Virginia, there is Santa
Claus; he exists as certainly as
love, generosity and devotion ex-
ist. The most real
things i'm the world are those
things that neither men nor Chill
drcn see. You may tear apart
the baby'S rattle and see what
makes the noise inside, but there
is wall covering the unseen
world which not the strongest
man nor the united strength OF
all the strongest men can tear
apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry,
love. romance, can push aside
the curtain and view the glory be-
yond. Is it real? All, Virginia,
in all this world there Is nothing
else real and abiding. No Santa
Claus? He lives and lives fOrey-
cP."
There is a wall covering the un
seem" there Is a wall covering the fu
ture, and those beautiful sentiments
"love, generosity and Devotion" de
mand that provision be made for tina
unknown future. No better provis
ion can be made than by means of
life insurance policy in the Stauncl
Old Mutual Benefit.
