Keeping Honey.

Many housekeepers do not know the
right place in which to store honey
and unthinkingly put 1t in the cellar
or dark, cool place. On the con-
trary, honey should always be kept In
a dry, warm place, even at 100 degrees.
If kept in damp place the "cappings'
of the comb become watery and the
honey oozes through, but if the comb
is kept where the air Is warm and dry
1t will remain in more perfect condi-
ton.

His Wish.

Three men went out for days
fishing. They took bottle with
bait" They drank too much.
A storm came up, and two of them
thought they were going to be drown
ed. The third was asleep in the bot
tom of the boat. The two talked over
what they wished done with their
bodies in the event Of either being
saved. One wished to be cremated
the other to be sent home to his wife.
Then they asked the one in the bot
tom of the boat what his wish was,
and when he "came to" enough to talk
he said:
"You can just pour me back In the
bottle"

The man or boy who begins an I'M

generally does succeed. A very sue
cessful business man once said, II al

and always made Ire that l should
succeed before l began anything"
which was not saying that he paid no
attention to the possibility of failure.
This was considered ana disposed of
before the venture was made.
l remember that a oma once came
into a business Office in which l was
employed. She had with her a tall,
strong looking boy of about fourteen,
who had come to apply for the position
of Office boy.
The manager of the office, a keen,
live business man, explained the du-
ties of the situation to the boy and
asked:
do you think you could do the
work."
I'll don't know" was the hesitating
reply. I'm afraid that maybe l

mother, who seemed anxious that he
should secure the place.

tone, II s'pose j might, but I'm afraid

"Then 1t is not of the least use for
you to try" replied the business man.
ager, a little sharply.
And the boy went away with his
mother Gliding him for his lack of self
confidence.
Ten minutes later another boy of
about fourteen came in by himself,
walked up to the counter, took off his
cap and asked to see the manager. He,
too, was an applicant for the place.
The business manager carefully ex-
planned the duties of the situation, and
the boy listened very attentively, while
seeming to weigh the matter well in
his mind.
When asked if he thought he could
do the work he promptly replied:
ooh, yes; l know l can"
"And you don't feel afraid that you
won't succeed?'
"Not a bit afraid. l can do it."
81 think you can, too" replied the
manager, approvingly. 81 think you'll
succeed"
And he did. He is in the same office
still, but is no longer an office boy. He
is the head bookkeeper, with a large
salary and a fair prospect of becoming

Lame Mort was preparing dinner
against the arrival of the Cody stage.
He sat on a box-the stagecoach sta
ton boosted no chairs-peeling pota-
toes without troubling himself to re-
move the dirt filled eyes.
Occasionally Lame Mort glanced out
of the small dirty window and chuck
led. All that was visible outside was
the top Of a cap and the edge of a tall
sheepskin collar, not in themselves a
mirth provoking sight. 1t was the oc-
cupation of the wearer which convuls-
ed the stage host.

into a kettle and, limping to the door,

liant of the bench. 1t vas Goat VIII

THAT MAY BE TRUE. BUT THE FACT THAT A MAN WANTS THE
COMMUNITY IN WHICH HE LIVES TO THINK THAT HE Is GOOD
AND GOD FEARING SHOWS THAT HE WANTS TO BE GOOD. HE
WANTS TO ENJOY THE RESPECT OF HIS FELLOWS. WHILE
THERE MAY BE SOME HYPocRITEs IN THE CHURCH, IT is NO
ExAeeERATloN TO STATE THAT THE GREAT MAJORITY OF
cHURcHeoERs ARE HONEST, UPRIGHT CITIZENS.
There is something basically wrong with a man who, while pro-
Tossing a belief in a Supreme Being, fails to take the opportunity
the church affords to WORSHIP THAT SUPREME BEING.
If you have a dear friend and you pass his house every day without
dropping in to see him, you would not blame that man for DOUBT
ING THE SINCERITY of your friendship.
Do you wish God to DOUBT YOUR FRIENDSHIP? Do you
want to LOSE HIM AS A FRIEND. If you don't, drop into
his house AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK.
Show that you are sincere in your belief in God by GOING
TO CHURCH next Sunday.
THEN GO TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY.

About the time the civil war began
a young Ohioan named Henry H.
Markley became so imbued with the
spirit of adventure that he left old

California. Here he enlisted almost
at once in the Second California IN
fantry-a regiment that was held at
or near home during the entire war,
and for almost a year after its close,

were great stories about new gold
discoveries in British Columbia, and
Mr.. M. turned his face thither, going
by steamer from San Francisco to
Victoria and thence to Westminster
and thence, by river boat up the Fraz-
er river to the head of navigation at
Yale. Here the party shouldered packs

now Idaho, via the Yaac river, were

They also went back into British Co

there been so many causes for labor
ing men to rejoice as there are today
There are no idle hands. There is

Reports from all southern cities to-

Joined in one great celebration. New

aN Savannah, all witnessed demon
Zrations. And down through the
great southwest, from where the trail
begin at Kansas City to where it ends
at Brownsville, Texas, the workers
laid aside their toll for one day.
Not alone is the man with the ham
mer and the hoe celebrating. Their
ranks have been augmented by clerks
from the stores, factory workers, rail
had men, bank clerks and federal
emeoyes.
Until recent years Labor Day was
not generally observed in the south
ern states. In many communities the
only observance was the closing of
the federal buildings and national
banks.
There have been few strikes in the
south during the last year and work
ing conditions have been generally
improved Many labor organizations
have profited through increased mem
bership and concessions from en-
pIoyqrs without the necessity of walk
outs and strikes.
