cheertulness, and genial spirit, is the one
that is going to he of practical and bene-
hcent usefulness to his fellow-man. There
are no things by which the troubles and
difficulties of this life can be resisted better
than wit and humor. And let the happy
person who possesses these-if he be
brought into the folds of the church-not
allow conversion to deprive him of them
God has constituted these in man, and
especially when they are so salient in meet
ing good naturally the trials of this world,
they should be used. Happiness, at last,
is dependent upon a soul that has molly
communion with its Creator for in Him
we have life eternal.' Men also fail in
happiness because they refuse to read the
great lessons found in the great book Of
nature. Happiness is to be sought in the
possession of true manhood rather than in
its internal condition.-Henry Ward

Beasts Flee The Fighting

1t is reported that wild animals of all
kind are fleeing from Germany and parts
of Austria, frightened by cannon and rifle
shots, and entering the Swiss forests and
the Alps. These include wild bears, deer
of several kinds, goats, etc., as we'll as
wild fowl. and in the lower Engadine even
bears have entered the Swiss Yellowstone
Park. The Swiss lakes and rivers are said
to be crowded with feathered tribes, but
shooting is prohibited by the authorities.
Birds will have rest before continuing
their southwark flight to warmer chimes.
A large number of wild bears from the
Black Forest have entered the Jura Alps
across Alsace and Lorraine, passing thru
the fighting armies without being noticed.

RutS and Hobbies

The saddest thing about men who get in
to ruts is that they do not know they are in
them. They are like brooks which have
seen, running through howery meadows so
deep in their banks that they cannot see the
daisies and buttercups. The very intensity
of life tends to sink their channels deeper,
and as they go down, the currents run more
slowly, until they come to the dead level
of stagnation. The horizon of such men
are the banks by which they are confined.
l have never known man to keep his
life fresh and wholesome, who did not have
some hobby. some fad or interest, outside
of his work. l could name a dozen men
whose mental energy is greater than ever
though they have considerably passed the
fifty year line, and every one of them has
some outside object upon which, for por-
ton of his time, he concentrates his attention.
These men have found the secret of re-
creation. They keep from becoming jaded
by wholesale change. They do not get into
ruts because they change the courses through
which the stream of their life runs. New
are open-minded and even the cold paths
are trodden with certainty which belongs
only to men who keep their sense of per-
spective keen. 1t will be good thing for
any man to use his summer holiday if he is
in rut, to get next to some enthusiast in
angling, gardening mountain climbing,
horseback riding, kodaking or some other
thing which has gripped men until they
have been laughed at by their friends. 1t
will be blessing to any man who, reading
this, determines not to die until he is ready
to be buried. Adapted from Warburton.

Says Fish Can Reason

Stephen Decatur Bridges of Verona, near
Bangor, Me-, who is known as the salmon
and alewife king of the Penobscot, is posi-
tive not only that fish have brains, but that
fish reason and form dislkes and likes and
tell their opinions to each other.
Bridges explains the disappearance of sal
mon from the Penobscot in two ways.
Either ''salmon tell other salmon how dirty
its waters are and how it is not fit fer any
respectable salmon to live in or ''the fish
resent it because at the hatchery in East
Orland they are taken from the water and
stripped of their eggs
"The fish resent that because it is against
nature" Mr.. Bridges asserts. ''They de-
eide they are not being treated right and
stay away."-Ex.

Good Nature

Good Nature-what blessing With
out it a man is like wagon without

prime minister of good conscience 1t

nature never fails of wholesome effect
without. Good-nature is not only the gov
eminent of ones own spirit, but it goes far
in its effects upon those of others. 1t mani
tests itself on every street; it harmonizes
man; it softens the friction of business
world. Good-nature is the harmonious act
of conscience. Good-nature in practical
affairs is better than any other; better than
what men call justice; better than dignity;
better than standing on ones rights, which
is so often the narrowest and worst place
one can find. A man who knows how to
hold on to his temper is the man who is
respected by the community. And one
who has good nature. successfully travels
about as does he who goes upon the princi-
ple-little of baggage, but plenty of money!

The Brave At Home

The maid who binds her warriors sash,
With smile that well her pain Ensembles
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry tear-drop hangs and trembles,
Though heaven alone records the tear,
And fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed drop as dear
AS e'er believed the field of glory.
The wife who girds her husband S sword,
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart be rent asunder,
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of death around her rattle
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured on field of battle.
The mother who conceals her grief
While to her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes few brave words and brief
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on Freedom field of honor!

Stray Dog Keeps Vigil

In the cemetery at Fultonham, Ohio, a
homeless cur mourns on the grave of George
Baker. They call her 'the graveyard dog
Five years ago the dog came to the ceme-
terry following the funeral procession of
Baker, an aged farmer, who died at his
home, near there.
Every night the dog keeps close vigil
over the grave. 1t sleeps for hours at a
stretch during the day on the little mound
that marks Bakers resting place.
Villagers long ago gave up hope of coax
ing the dog away from there. She leaves
the cemetery only long enough each day to
search for food.
Friends of Baker say he never owned the
dog. Cemetery trustees refuse to drive it
away, and She seems likely to spend the rest
of her life in this strange manner.-Ex.

The Coming Race

These things shall be! A loftier race
Than e'er the world hath known shall
rise
With fame of freedom in their souls
And light of knowledge in their eyes.
They shall be gentle, brave and strong,
Not to spill human blood, but dare
All that may plant mans lordship firm
On earth and fire and sea and air.
Nation with nation, land with land,
Unarmed shall live as comrades free;
In every heart and brain shall throb
The pulse of one fraternity.
New arts shall bloom, of loftier mold,
And mightier music thrill the skies;
And every life shall be song,
When all the earth is paradise.

not according to what he has, but what he
is. "Tis only noble to be good" Col
lateral can never take the place of character.
Character is capital.
Everybody avoids repulsive personality.
An offensive manner jars upon refined taste.
"Virtue itself offends when coupled with a
forbidding Manner
More men succeed in life by their kind
illness of manner than by their talents.
Good manners, like the sunshine, are wei
come everywhere. The world needs much
of this sunshine, and it has great rewards
for those that supply its wants. Good
manners are the rails on which you can
ride into the Union Depot of Success. If
your passing provokes hiss, you have laid
the rails wrong; if it wins applause, you
are on the right rails and the depot is not far
distant. Anciently the Romans worshipped
virtue and honor as gods; they built two
temples which were so situated that none
could enter the temple of honor without
passing through the temple of virtue.
Among the Greeks and Romans in their
best days honor was more sought after than
wealth. Time changed. Wealth became
the surest passport to honor, and respecta-
bility was endangered by poverty. But
"Rome was Rome no more" when the
imperial purple had become an article OF
traffic and when gold could purchase with
ease the honor that patriotism and valor
once secured only with difficulty.

Casey At The Bat

There was ease in Casey's manner as he
stepped into his place,
There was pride in Casey's bearing,
and smile on Casey's face;
And when responding to the cheers he
lightly DOTTED his hat,
No stranger in the crowd could doubt twas
Casey at the bat.
Ten thousand eyes are on him as he
rubbed his hands with dirt,
Five thousand tongues applauded when he
wiped them on his shit;
Then while the writhing pitcher ground the
ball into his hip,
Defiance glanced in Casey's eye, sheer
curled Caseys lip.
And now the leather-covered sphere came
.whirling thro' the air,
And Casey stood a-watching it in naughty
grandeur there;
Close by the sturdy batsman the ball
unheeded sped,
That amt my style, said Casey, "Strike
one,' the umpire said.
From the benches, black with people, there
went up muffled roar,
Like the beating of storm waves on a stern
and distant shore;
''Kill him! kill the umpire!' shouted
some one on the stand,
And it's likely they'd have killed him had
not Casey raised his hand.
With smile of Christian charity great
Casey's visage shone,
He stilled the rising tunult, he babe the
game go on;
He signalled to the pitcher and once more
the spheroid flew,
But Casey still ignored it, and the umpire
said "Strike two.''
"Fraud!' cried the maddened thousands,
and echo answered, "Fraud!''
But the scornful look from Casey, and the
audience was awed;
They saw his face grow stern and cold,
they saw his muscles strain,
And they knew that Casey would mt let that
ball go by again.
The sheer is gone from Casey's lips, his
teeth are clinched in hate,
He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon
the plate:
And now the pitcher holds the ball, and
now he lets it go.
And now the air is shattered by the force
of Casey's blow.
Oh! somewhere in this favored land
the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere and some
where hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing and
somewhere children shout
But there's no joy in Mudville-mighty
Casey has struck out.-Selected
