The Best of Birds.

Let the others raise their ditties to
the sparrows in the cities.
Let them prate about the peacock
if they will;
Let them talk about the robin or the
mournin' dove a-sobbin',
Or the blackbird as it whistles on
the hill;
Let them sing about the jay bird,
givin' praises unto that gay bird;
Let them boast about the linnet
or the wren;
But I'm proud to say my charmer is
the comfort of the farmer,
Aud I'll raise my little ditty to
the hen
If you're only out for beauty, it is
probably your duty
To descant upon che bulbul in

Or, if wisdom's what you're after,
then the owl upon the rafter
Quite the true and proper caper's
said to be;
But it's usefulness I'm praisin', and
my ditty l am raisin'
To the best and truest feathered
friend of men;
And so here's to that great blessin'

Just the humble and hard-workin'

Hon. Perry S. RAIDER is especially
fitted for the position of judge of
the supreme court of Missouri and
his many friends in Saline county
Central Missouri and in fact in
every county in the state, will be
pleased to know that he has decid-
ed to become a candidate for this
important office.
He was candidate for this Office
at the last election and was defeat
ed by a small majority. In the
country districts he led all his oppo-
nents and was especially strong in
the counties where he had lived and
was well known. His experience
as a practicine lawyer and as re-
porter of the supreme court for six
teen years renders him well quail
fed for the position he seeks.

Benevolence

QueCll VI NlllutS duu lOVely sud-
in the crown of life, it is a bri1 Int
and glorious image of Him who is
love. How beautiful it is in
Woman's heart. A woman without
benevolence is not woman, she is
simply a deformed personality of
womanhood. In every heart there
are many tendencies to selfishness,
but the spirit of benevolence coun-
teracts them all. A hollow, cold,
graceless, ungodly thing is a heart
without benevolence. In a world
like this where we are all so needy
and dependent, where our interests
are all so interlOcked, where our
lives and hearts overlap each other
and often grow together, we cannot
live without a great deal of benevo-
lence. Our true earth life is be-
nevolent one and our highest inter
ests are in the path of benevolence.
We do most for ourselves when we
do most for others. 1T is more
blessed to give than to receive"
Good deeds double in the doing, and
the larger half comes back to the
door, A large heart of charity is a
noble thing. The most benevolent
souls lives nearest to God. Selfish
ness is the root Of evil, and benevo.
lence is its cure In no heart is
benevolence more beautiful than in
the heart of a youthful woman aud
in no heart is selfshness more
ugly. To do good is noble, but to
be good is nobler This should
be the aim of all young men, The
poor and needy should occupy a
large place in their hearts. The
sick and the suffering should move
on their sympathies. The sinful
and criminal should awaken their
deepest pity. The oppressed and
down trodden should find a place
in their compassion. How blessed
is woman on errands of mercy, how
sweet are her consoling words to
the disconsolate, how Consoling her
tears of sympathy to the mourner,
how fresh her spirit of hope to the
discouraged, how soft her hand to
the sick, how balmy her breath of
love to the oppressed. Woman ap-
pears in one of her loveliest aspects
when she appears as one of the
practical followers of Him who
went about doing good. The young
woman who does these works of
practical benevolence is educating
her moral powers in the school of
glorious and earnest life and she is
laying the foundation for a nobler
and useful womanwood. She is
planting the seeds of a charity that
will grow to save and bless the suf-
! fering of our fellowmen. In no
other way can she so successfully
cultivate the virtue .of benevolence.
1t is not enough that she pity the
sorrows of the poor and suffering.
Her hand must be taught to heed
the pleadings of her plying heart.
What she feels, she must do. What
she wishes, she must make an
effort to accomplish. What she
prays for she must strive TO attain
