Collie Saves Terriers Life

A true story comes from Hudson, Illinois,
from A. N. Starkey, living on farm north
west of that village. He owns a collie and
a rat terrier, The latter disappeared and
after being searched for was given up for
dead. The collie, however, acted very
strangely. Immediately after being given
food he disappeared and did not return again
until the next meal-time. Members of the
family decided to follow him. They did
SO, and half mile from the house the poor
little rat terrier was found, caught in trap
which had been set for mink. The collie
had been carrying food in his mouth to his
little friend for over week, and was over
ioyed to think help had come to the rat ter
rier. The latter was very soon released and
carried home to be given proper care. The
devotion of the collie was much remarked
in the neighborhood.-Our Dumb Animals.

Missed His Daily Paper

A dog belonging to Robert Robinson
died in Port Royal, Pennsylvania, recently,
after being faithful servant for twelve
years.
The Times of that place tells US that for
about five years it went regularly every day
to the railroad that passes through the farm,
got the North American, which the mail
clerk threw from the train and carried it
to the house. Cur" as he was Familiarity
known, seemed to take great pride in the
discharge of his duty and when the mail
clerk was taken off and the rural delivery
inaugurated, it was with reluctance that he
accepted the ruling, and every day AFTER the
train had passed he would 60 to the railroad
crossing and vainly search for the paper that
was not there.-Our Dumb Animals.

On Knowing How

Governor Capper of Kansas, in
a recent address, said:
knowing how is the greatest
thing in the world. It's not alone
in the dollars that it puts into the
pocketbook or the bank-it's in

gives US when we do a thing and
do it right. The world-that part
of it with which we touch elbows,

mands to have it's work well done.

first-class job, with the shine of
quality on it-put there lovingly
by the hands of workman who
loves his job"

thing we'll, it's time to begin learn
ing. Men draw four figured sal
aries for knowing how to write

thousand things, which if done
WELL, pay we'll. Learn to do one
thing we'll even if it's small

A Perfect Day

When you come to the end of a perfect day
And you sit alone with your thought
While the chimes ring out with carol gay
For the JOY that the day has brought.
Do you think what the end of perfect day
Can mean to tired heart
When the sun goes down with flaming ray
And the dear friends have to part?
Well, this is the end of a perfect day.
Near the end of journey, too,
But it leaves thought that is big and strong,
With a wish that is kind and true.
For mem'ry has painted this perfect day
With colors that never fade,
And we find at the end of perfect day,
The souls of a friend we've made.-Carrie

Soldier S Vigil
By Mr.. ]. B.

When soft gray shades come creeping
Ger fields where comrades slain,
Lie as in dreams asleeping
No more to wake again;
l find some solace singing
The songs they sang thru day;
Their fancy-voices ringing
To cheer my humble lay.
Then comes the mystic cleaning
And stars that constant keep,
Their watch DER all the roaming,
Of comrades now asleep;
And vesper winds now signing
Condoling for the dead,
Tell of the fearless crying
Of sweethearts, some new-wed.
Then thots, when grief unfolding,
Would cease my humble lay,
l seem to hear the scolding
'Of voices once so gay,
And thru the night, still singing,
Some thots would ever roam,
And add to memory's Wis ming
The thots of s'Hcme sweet Home.
Amid these voices falling
In praise of song loved best,
l hear One Voice a'calling
Their spirits home to rest.

EDUCATION NEEDED
IN SOUTHERN STATE

Ignorance, comparable with that in
many parts of heather countries, can
be found within the borders of the
United States, according to Miss
Chaplin, superintendent of the Mitchell
school in Misener, N. c., who spoke
at the First M. E. church last evening.
Although this district is supposed to
be cililized. she said, education is only
in its infancy, and even the state laws
are not strict enough to assure a suf.
ficent degree of primary education to
give the child the fundamentals OF
life.
Miss Chaplin is at the head Of a
school organized by the Women s
Home and Foreign Missionary society

church are found where the word Is
proclaimed in its purity and the sacra-

Christ's institution These signs show
US that we are in the house Of God.

of the church is the love of the Father.

sent His son to preach and to save
that which was lost"
