POSSIBLY A FEW DOORS OFF
But Little Man Had Small Chance of
Getting What He Wanted in

The apoplectic little man pounded
the counter with his apoplectic little
fist.
Il never dealt here before and I'll
never deal here again!" he shouted.
"rhe management here is rotten. You
have nothing, nothing! I'll try once
more. Have you any tomatoes?"
mo, sir; sorry, sir" replied the
clerk.
What? Not even in cans?"
mot even in bottles"
The apoplectic little man crushed
his hat down farther on his head and
bit his mustache until the blood came.
He consulted the list in his hand.
I'll give you another chance! Have
you any potatoes? Think carefully
now!"
mot a potato in the place." said
the clerk apologetically.
"Ye gods! Well, I'll give you one
more chance. I'd like to see the end Of
this. Have you any sugar."
mot a grain, sir. Sorry, sir"
The apoplectic little man sat down
on a stool and let his list futter to
the floor.
And you call this a grocery store?"
he said tauntingly.
mo, sir" corrected the clerk mildly.
This is a cigar store"
The apoplectic little man rolled on
the stool in a fit.

Some Mushroom.

Bpicures in the United States, who
love mushrooms will long for a time
in the Austrian Tyrol, where real
mushrooms grow. A traveller writing
of the region says: Bordering the
road that led up the mountain were
Italian chestnut trees, SO large that
it took from three to five Of us to
span the trunks of most Of them. I'm
der one Of these one evening / saw
crouching what l took to be a small.
dark gray kitten. STOPPING, I found
that it was not a kitten. but a mush-
room. Our good peasant neighbor,
hurrying toward me, begged that !
would not disturb it, saying that she
depended on this every year. After
a few days of rain, what had seemed
a kitten now looked a stately cat, and
when it~reached the weight of six
pounds it was gathered and eaten.

Judament by Faith.

Judge not by deeds and things, take
the good heart and the good motive
on trust. Believe in it, affirm it.
To affirm a thing is literally to make
1t firmer. To glorify the good self of
another is to set going the machinery
by which goodness manifests.
When others believe US good, or
wise, or lovely, we catch the vibration
by thought transference and begin to
believe in ourselves as true, beautiful
and good. And whatsoever things we
believe in we think upon, and we be-
come like that which we think upon.
Also we act accordingly.
If you want to see beauty in this
world, just believe in those about you.

ed, and His Services Long
Went ~Unrecognized.

The first diplomatic agent Of the
United States was Silas Deane, who
was born at Groton, Conn. He be-
came a merchant and was a delegate
to the first continental congress. In
the spring of 1776 he was sent to
France as a secret diplomatic agent.
He posed as a merchant from Ber-
muda and upon his arrival in Paris
sought an interview with Count de
Vergennes, the minister for foreign
affairs, who refused to receive him.
Deane was reduced to the direst pow
erty and was elected by his landlady.
Subsequent American ambassadors
have complained of the lack Of suit
able embassies, but Deane was re-
duced to a point where he had to &C
cept poor lodgings from a sympathetic
Frenchman. Eventually he was given
an audience with Vergennes and be-
gan the diplomatic relations which
eventually resulted In the French al
lance. In 1777 Deane was recalled
In the bitter controversy which fol
lowed his recall Thomas Paine re
vealed the fact that supplies furnished
the colonies had been furnished by
the French governments diplomatic
indiscretiop which cost Paine his place
as secretary Of the committee on for
eign AFFAIRS. Deane, driven into pow
erty and exile, died in England IL
1888. Half a century later his claim
for his services abroad was adjusted
by congress and a large sum wal
paid to his heirs.

GROWING More LAVENDER.

Owing to the continuous rise in the
price of lavender essence the acreage
devoted to the cultivation of lavender
flowers in the Marseille consular dis
trict has increased considerably. The
fact that barren soils, unproductive
for other purposes, may be successful
ly utilized renders this industry par
ticularly attractive to the farmers in
this part of France. Thin, rocky soils,
we'll exposed to the sun, situated at
an altitude of 1872 to 1897 feet, are
best adapted for this purpose. Suit
able soils at lower attitudes, unless
properly fortified, seldom give salts
factory results. Experience shows
that flowers cultivated at attitudes of
1858 feet produce the best essence.
Truff1es are often planted between the
rows, that every foot of soil may be
put to 8

Automobiles date back to the time
Of Sir Isaac Newton. who in 1850 pro-

THE MILkMAN.

y Tx W1GNmhNs
Consider the milkman
Who gets up at three,
While most people siumber and
snore;
The mercury's down
To the bottom degree,
And billiards. and hurricanes roar.
In two pair of trousers
And three or four coats,
He wades through the snow and the
storm;
To thaW out the COWS,
With q bucket Of oats,
And coax them to think they are
warm.
With haIf-frozen fingers
He stoOps by his pail,
While the cows at their feed boxes
root;
And they hit him a biff
With a frost-laden TAIL
And upset the bucket, to boot.
He drives to the crick
In the snow-mnntled deli,
To water ais shivering stock;
For the old oaken bucket
Which hangs in the well.
Is frozen as hard as rock.
His breakfastless stomach
Is yelling for grub
As he loads up his wagon at dawn;
Each wheel fufl of ice
From the rim to the hub,
As the creeky old rig rattles on.
His patrons declare
o That he waters the milk,
If his cans show a coating of ice;
They kick If the cream
Isn't finer than silk,
And throw forty fits at the price.
He battles pneumonia
The chilblaines and grippe,
From August till April or May;
And his customers howl
If he misses a trip.
No matter how stormy the day.
So when this old world
Seems unkind as can be,
And you're peevish and cranky and
sore: ..-
Consider the mllkman
Who gets up at three. ,
And you won't complain any more.

HOLINESS UNIVERSITY
School Progressing Nicely Under
Acting Pres. Leedy.

On Friday, Dec 18th, the Fall term
of c. H. U. came to a close, and
recess of two weeks has been taken
for the holidays In some respects, the
term has been momentus in that it
was the first term under the admins
tration of Acting President J. w.
Leedy. It has also been unusual in
another respect, in that instead OF
having a series of Revival meetings
for 10 days under the leadership of
some prominent evangelist, the facul-
ty and student body have co-operated
in an informal way in the holding of
religious services. AS a result, the
meetings have been more spontan-
eous and there has been a more gem
uine and healthy spiritual atmos-
phere in the school during the fall,
than is usually felt at the beginning
of the school year. The students as
a body have been devoted to their
school work and commendable pro-
gress has been made. The spring
term opens on Tuesday, January 5th,
1915 and will continue until March
18th. An Impetus has thus been Sc
cured in school work, which will I'M
.doubtedly have it's influence through
ont the remainder of the school year
and year of marked success seems
to be in prospect.
