CHARACTER IN THE NECKUE
Here 10 an Explanation Of the Deprav
1ty Undoubtedly EvInced at TImss
by the Neck Adornment.

Tho man was trying to tie his
necktie In q satisfactory manner, and
was succeeding only to the extent
Of much profanity and many extra
trials. The man who was waiting for
him was taking 1t almost as seriously
a. he was.

have discovered what is the matter

away and transfer my trouble else
where by giving it to any man who
laughs at me because l can't tie it"
The other man ceased his efforts
long enough to ask what the trouble
was.
1T IL purely psychologist" the visit
Or explained. You see the tie was
made by some woman or other who
was either cranky or had disposition
you couldn't get along with to save
your life. She being of much temper
or temperament put her character in
her work, and though it looks all
right and would easily pass the deal

sumner unless he happens to be the
kind Of man who could get along with
that kind Of a woman.
II know this to be true. because
have traded one of my refractory ties
with friend for one he could not
handle, and we had no trouble with
them after the exchange. Now and
then. though you come across one that
simply will not tie right, and neither
you nor any man can succeed with
It That kind, fancy, is made by
some crank of an old maid who Is an
old maid because she has such a dis
position that even the matrimonial tie
can't properly adjust itself to her"
The man before the glass took OF
the tie and passed it over to his
psychic friend.
Suppose you see what you can do
with It," he said.
The visitor was accommodating. and
behold, he tied It as smoothly and
nicely as though his best girl had
made It for him.

prices Of necessities in Great Britain
have increased faster than mems

Of affairs" said Mr.. Lansbury, and we
propose to let the world know that we
aren't satisfied. In the past the work

treatment, but today he has more cour-
age. Like Little Willie, he speaks out
Little Willie, q friend of mine, was
kneeling by his bed one night to say
his prayers when his aunt reminded
him:

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. sYMPAoRosA AND Her SONS.

In the year 119 the Emperor Hadrian
consecrated his great palace at Tivoli,
and sought an oracle from the
demons whom he worshipped as his
gods. They would give none till Sym
phorosa and her seven sons ceased to
insult them by their Christian faith,
and consented to offer sacrifice.
Symphorosa was brought before
the emperor, who tried to win her by
smooth words. She told him boldly
that her husband and her husband s
brother had held high command in the
imperial army Both had confessed
Jesus Christ, and had died deaths
shameful in the eyes of men, but full
of glory in the sight of Christ and
His angels. Symphorosa had but one
desire Ito share in their confession,
and to join them in heavenly glory
Her courage did not fail when her
face was blackened with blows, and
she was hung up by, the hair of the
head At last she was drowned in the
Tiber, and her sons followed her one
by one. They were hoisted on seven
single stakes, planted round the
temple of Hercules, and were there
tortured and stretched till their bones
were disjointed; at last, as they
yielded nothing under the torment
they were singly put to death. The
Christians gathered up their relics
venerated them with religious honor
and inscribed their names on the
tombs under which they had been laid
For they knew that Christ had SET
their names in the Book of Life, and
written them there in characters OF
light.
Hadrian threatened to burn Sym
phorosa alive in sacrifice to his gods
She told him this was beyond his
power. If she was burnt alive, she
would be offered up as a victim, not
to the demons, but to Christ the Scr
of God, and the fire which consumed
her body would increase her crown
and the confusion of the devils. Sc

THoueHTLEss NAMING OF GOD.

There is one species of profanity
which is all the more likely to endure
because those who are guilty of it are
very often good, as differentiated from
careless people, and because they ap-
parently do not take account of it's
sinfulness. To quote Spirago: MANY
people have the habit of thoughtlessly
exclaiming at every trifie that sur
prise them: Good Lord! My Godp
and the like? 1t is bad habit; cor
rect yourselves of it and endeavor to
correct others also, as it shows want
of due reverence for the name of God.
Those who truly love God cannot
stand by unmoved and hear His holy
name profaned. This careless, flip
pant use of the name of God is at least
a venial sin. Let not the naming of
God be usual in the mouth (save in
prayer; for thou shalt not escape free

THIRTEEN MISTAKES IN LIFE.

Here are what Presiding Judge Paul
j. Mccormick of San Francisco has
announced as Thirteen Mistakes of
Life:
To attempt to set up your own
standard of right and wrong.
To try to measure the enjoyment of
others by your own.
To expect uniformity of opinions in
this world.
To fail to make allowance for mex
perience.
To endeavor to mold all dispositions
alike.
Not to yield to unimportant trifles.
To look for perfection in our own &C
tions.
To worry ourselves and others
about what cannot be remedied.
Not to help everybody, wherever,
however and whenever we can.
To consider anything impossible
that we cannot ourselves perform.
To believe only what our finite
minds can grasp.
Not to make allowances for the
weaknesses of others.
To estimate by some outside quail
ity, when it is that within which makes
the man.
