MEMORY'S MANSION
By ELLA WHEELER WILC(

IN Memory's Mansion wonderful rooms,
And wander about them at will;
And pause at the easements, where boxes of blooms
Are sending sweet scents DER the sill.
We lean from window that looks a lawn;
From turret that looks on the wave.
But draw down the shade when some glade
A stone standing guard by grave.
To Memory's attic I clambered day
When the roof resounding with rain,
And there among relics long hidden away,
rummaged with heartache and pain.
A hope long surrendered and covered with dust,
A pastime, outgrown and forgot
And fragment of love all corroded with rust;
Were lying heaped up in spot.
And there the floor of that garret tossed
A friendship too fragile to last,
With pieces of dearly bought pleasures that cost
Vast fortunes of pain in the past
A fabric of passion once vivid and bright,
4 AS the heart of robin in Spring.
Was spread out before terrible sight
A moth eaten rag of thing.
Then down the deep stairway hurriedly went,
And into fair chambers below;
But the mansion seemed filled with the old attic
Wherever my footsteps would go.
Though in Memory's House 1 still wander full oft,
No more to the garret climb;
And leave all the rubbish heaped there in the loft
To the hands of the Housekeeper, Time

The One Good Idea.

Post put Battle Creek on the map with
one idea-prepared breakfast foods.
Mr.. Johnson took the scratch out OF
the phonograph and so gave not only
Camden and New Jersey the Victor, but
the country one OF its most amazing bus
mess successes.
Pulverizing charcoal TO make it more
economic fuel was so good an idea that
Walter S. Wright is the fourth generation
of his family to continue that century old
industry in Camden county.
Bending piece of wire to give if a
"hump"-the whole world knows the
story OF the De Long hook and eye.
The thought that needle could sew
with the eye in the point, instead OF the
other end, was what made Howe and his
sewing machine.
Hall a dozen men sitting in little cof-
fee house said to another, "We'll guar
antee you against losing your ship and
CARGO" and so started the worlds most
celebrated insurance concern, which is
known as Eloyds.
In this age OF enormous business, the
fellow who gets just one good idea for
rettering any one of thousand things,
can at once order his steam yacht.

He Used His Eyes.

In his daily half hour confidential talk
with his boy an ambitious father tried 10
give some good advice.
"Be observing. my son, ''said the father.
Cultivate the habit OF seeing and you
will be successful man. Study things
and remember them. Don't 90 through
the world blindly. Learn TO use your
eyes. Boys who are observing know a
great deal more than those who are not. I"
Willie listened in silence.
Several days later when the entire
family, consisting of his mother, aunt
and uncle, were present. his father said ::
"Well, Willie, have you kept using
your eyes as advised you 10 do 2"
Willie nodded and after a moments
hesitation said 'I've seen few things
right around the house. Uncle Jim's got
a bottle Of hair dye hid under his trunk,
Aunt Jennie's got an extra set OF teeth IN
her dresser, mas got some curls in her
hat and pas got deck Of cards and a
box Of chips behind the books in the Sec
retary."

LUCK.

Luck tapped upon cottage door,
A gentle, quiet tap.
And Laziness. who lounged within,
The cat upon his lap.
Stretched out his slippers to the fire,
And gave sleepy yawn:
"Oh. bother LET him knock again !!
He said, but Luck was gone.
Luck tapped again. more family still
Upon another door,
Where Industry was hard at work
Mending his cottage iloor
The door was opened wide at once;
Come in T. the worker cried,
And Luck was taken by the hand
And fairly pulled inside.
He is still there-a wOndrous guest
From out whose magic hand
Fortune flows fast-but Laziness
Can never understand
How Industry found such friend.
Luck never came my way,
He signs, and quite forgets the knock
Upon his door that day.

whats Come Over Murray p,

Some years ago young Sunday school
superintendent found himself in an en-
barassing situation. He had a great de-
sire to see his school at work for Christ,
and Sunday after Sunday he appealed to
the members to take up some form OF
Christian service. But when one young
girl came to ask for something that she
could do, he had nothing to give her !
He did al last find work suited to her ca
pacity. but if many had applied he would
have found his resources taxed to the ut
most. Finding work for every Christian
has perplexed many Christian leader,yet
there is wise and simple solution that
holds good, no matter how many cases
there are A pastor OF the Southern
Presbyterian Church tells OF il in the Mis-
sionary Survey:
A young man came to me recently TO
ask, "What Christian work can do?"
said to him, "What time do you get
up in the morning ?"
"At half past Six"
"What do you do after breakfast ?"
"Go TO the office, and work steadily
until 60 TO lunch at II O'Clock"
"What do you do after lunch ?"
"Work steadily until half past five or
six, or sometimes laIer."
"What do you do after supper ?"
"Read the paper, or sometimes go TO
lecture or a concert. Pm too tired to do
much"
"When would you do Christian work
if gave you any TO do ?"
81 don't know"
Murray" said, God has so placed
you, so filled your day, that don't see
where you can get time for much outside
Christian work. | don't think God ex-
poets you TO add any Christian work TO
your daily burden"
Murray looked at me moment, and
said, 81 guess that's So"
"But wait bit," said. care there
other>men employed where you are ?"
"Yes-a great many" he answered.
"Do you do your work as well as the
rest, or not so we'll, or better 2"
"Oh, about as well as any OF them, |
think"
"Do they know that you are Chris
tian."
"Why, yes, suppose So"
"See here, Murray, here's something
you can do. Do your work better than
ever before. Help the other fellow who
is behind, if you can. Let them all know
that you are Christian, not by talking,
but by living. Get in helpful word here
and there. Get some fellow TO drop his
oaths or his beer Show Christ living in
you and controlling you. Preach the
gospel among your associates by the
best life you can live with Gods help.
Will you try it2"
He promised, and went away. Six
weeks later met the superintendent of
the department where he worked. He
said, "ISn't Murray one of your men ?"
"Yes," | said, "Why ?"
whats come over Murray 2" he ask
ed.
al don'tknow," said. 81 didn't know
anything had"
"WeIl, there has. He's the best clerk
in the whole force, and has become so in
the last month. He's the best influence
about the whole place. The men all
notice it. He's quiet, earnest, and full
of spirit that impahs itself TO others.
Something has come over Murray"

dealer, "but I'll sell il on the same terms

"All right" said the customer. "You
can send il along and charge it,"
mot on your life," the dealer replied
mo charge accounts. You can't dc
business with the mail order house that
way. Fork over the cash."
The customer complied.
"Now two cents postage and five cents

What"
"Now two cents postage and five
cents for money order, 10 mail order
house, you know"
The customer, inwardIy raving, kept 10
his agreement and paid the seven cents
"Now twenty-five cents expressage.
"Well, III be" he said, but paid it,
saying, Now hand me that saw and III
take il home myself and be rid OF this
foolery."
"Hand it to you? Where do YOU
think you are? You're in Georgia and
I'm in Chicago and you'll have to waii
two weeks for that saw"
Whereupon that dealer hung the saw
on peg and put the money in his cash
drawer.
"That makes sl.67," he said. at has

two weeks longer to get ii than you had

Reasons For Excusing James.

says a British weekly, and handed her
the following note from his mother:
Dear Sir. Please excuse James for not

He played truant, but you needn't
whip him for it, as The boy he played
truant with and him fell out, and he lick
ed James; and man they threw stones
at caught him and licked him and the
driver OF car they hung on to licked
him and the owner OF cat they chased
licked him. Then licked him when he
came home, after which his father licked
him, and had to give him another for
being impudent to me for telling his faith
er. So you need not lick him until next
time.
He thinks he will attend regular 10 the
future.
