IMPORTANCE OF YOUR FACE.
If you stop to think about this fol

If you stop to think about this for
a moment, you see what a tremen.
dously important thing it is. Just as
surely as you have face, the story
Of your life will be written on that
face. If you are mean and Grabbed
and disagreeable, your face will set
tie into a disagreeable expression,
and everybody will avoid you. If
your disposition is sunny and kind
and gracious, your face will beam
with goodness, and everybody will
know at glance that you are low
able. And the older you grow the
more distinctly your face will tell the
story.
When you go out into the world to
earn your living, the first thing that
people will ask is this: What kind of
a boy is he? Or, what kind of girl
is she? Under our present industrial
system the employer has to teach
young persons their trade after he
hires them. So he is more interested
in the applicants character than in
his present ability. And the character
he will learn from the face.

when your feet get wet; at home you

AN oLD.FAsHIoNEp GIRL.

She can peel and boil potatoes,
Make a salad of tomatoes.
But she doesn't know a Latin noun
from Greek;
And SO well she cooks chicken
That your appetite would quicken,
But she cannot tell what's modern
from antique.
She knows how to set table,
And make order out of babel,
But she doesn't know Euripides
from Kant;
Once at making pie caught her
Jove, an expert must have taught her
But she doesn't know true elo
quence from rant.
She has firm conviction
She ought only to read fiction,
And she doesn't care for science
not a bit;
And the way she makes her bonnets
She is worth a thousand sonnets,
But she doesn't yearn for culture
not a whit.
She can make her wraps and dresses
Till a fellow fast confesses
That there's not another maiden
half so sweet;
She's immersed in home completely
Where she keeps all things so neatly
But from Browning not line can
she repeat.
Well, in fact, she's just q woman,
Gentle, lovable and human,
And her faith she is quite willing
to admit;
'Twere foolish to have tarried,
So we went of and got married,
And I tell you I am mighty glad
of it.

THE RHYME OF THE ROAD.


Some years ago, in 1906, in search of
perfect health 49,. .pr.r
A boon Of greater worth by far than
Rockefeller's wealth.
l took to heart a hobby,or fad, as
some might say,
And vowed to walk in rain or shine
a dozen miles day.
The perfect health came speedily; tits
staying with me yet,
And daily still my vow keep with
out the least regret;
The out-of-doors has captured me, I've
yielded to its wiles.
And incidentally have walked Just
forty thousand miles.
The time for all this walking? Well,
it takes three hours a day,
One-third the time 1 give to work, and,
doubt it as you may.
That work is more in quantity and
better, too, in kind
Than marked the listless, walkless
years I've left so far behind
For perfect health means energy and
will and active brain,
1t makes of work pleasure and it
keeps the judgment sane.
Some hours of.precious time, mayhap,
I've wasted otherwhiles,
But not the hours I've spent in walking
forty thousand miles.
The moral of this story? Why. there
isn't any, son,
Unless it be the warning lately sent
from Washington;
The U. S. Board Of Public Health, dis
eases game to balk,
Advises men and women just to walk,
walk, walk
OF course you know your own needs
best; don't pretend to say
You ought to do as do-walk dozen
miles day;
But If you'd like, ten years from Tow,
to find your life all smiles,
Get busy and, from now till then, walk
forty thousand miles.

York Sun.

moistened with regret amongst the
multitude that stretched away in COM

phemous oath united with their dying
breath; and, callously as the Roman
mob from the blood-stained amphi-
theater, the English masses turned
homewards from the fatal spot. But
they did not fall unhonored or I'M

in that same city, the sobs of mourn
full lamentation were mingled with the
solemn prayers for their eternal rest,
and, from thousands of wailing wo-

prayers for mercy, peace, and pardon,
for the souls of Michael O'Brien, Will
liam Philip Allen, and Michael Larkfn,
rose upwards to the avenging God.

In my judgment, public official,
while In the main a representative,
should be in some respects a delegate
also. He will be called upon to decide
a multitude of minor questions, and
some of considerable importance but
technical in their nature, which his
constituents have neither the time nor
the wish to pass upon for themselves.
In such cases the ideal official will be
guided by what he believes to be the
best interests of the people as whole.

far as is consistent with justice and

crate wish by his official action. He
will not, of course, do violence to his
conscience in their behalf, nor forget
the higher law of right and wrong. If
his constituents should ever mistaken
ly call upon him for such a sacrifice.
1t would be his duty first to exhaust
every available means of convincing,
them of their error, and failing in
that, to resign his office rather than
to deprive those whose representative
he is, but whom he finds himself I'M
able longer to represent, of their right
to a voice in their own government.
In view of all these considerations,
hold it to be the duty of a public Off
cial to carry out so far as he can the
wishes of his constituents, not to as
sumo guardianship over them. If
he is an executive he must enforce the
law without fear or favor, for he is:
bound to regard every law, so long as
it remains on the statute-book, as a
deliberate expression of the peoples
will. If he is a legislator, or if his
office includes any obligation to sug-
gest or recommend legislation, he will
fearlessly act upon his own judgment
in matters which are left by the voters:
for him for to decide; and while he
will use his best endeavors to guide
his constituents to wise decisions in
affairs of real public Importance in.

will never misrepresent them or be-
tray their confidence by thwarting
their deliberate will.

done. The ideal representative should
indeed be leader, but never an auto
craft is his province and his duty
to guide public opinion as far as he
can, and always for the true interests
of the whole body of the citizenship,
and to do his best to dissuade from
policies that he believes to be mistak-
en-. But the opinions and wishes Of
his constituents as he understands
them, and not his own views of what
they ought to wish, will be the final
guide of his official action.
In order that the representative
plan may be practicable, something
more is necessary, therefore, than a
sincere desire of the public official to
act in accord with the will of his con-
stituents. There must be at his com.

what they really wish; and they too
must be supplied with the means of
forming an intelligent opinion. 1t is
for this reason that have repeatedly
