Home-A world of strife shut cut
are great and the great are small.
Home-The fathers kingdom, the
mothers world and the child's par
adise.
Home-The place where we grun1
Bile the most and are treated the
best
Home-The center of our affec-
lions around which our hearts best
wishes Irvine.
Home-The place where the ston1-
ach gets three meals day and our
hearts a thousand
Home-The only place on earth
where the faults and failings of hui
mainly are hidden under the sweet
mantle of charity.
Avoid cliques, and do not gossip
nor listen to gossip about your fell
low workers. Ebert Hubbard.
The foolish virgins who spend
ninetenths of their time in learning
to decorate china, would do well to
remember that a young man in
search Of a good wife is more likely
to tie to a girl who knows how to
decorate her china with a good
square meal, well cooked and dain-
tily served.
If you wish to send a letter in
hurry, write "in haste" on the en-
velope. The postmaster and clerks
will then fall over each other in
their haste to get it in the mail first
then the postal clerk will yell to the
engineer: "Pull her wide open,
here's letter in rush." And the
train will just fly
A self-acting sofa just large e
nough for two, has been invented.
If properly wound up, it will begin
to ring warning bell just before
ten, it splits apart, and while one
the other half kicks the young man
out the door They will come high

ten o'clock. At one minute past
half carries the daughter up stairs
nevertheless several parties in this
will be household necessity in the
city feel that one of these sofas
near future.
Sometime ago a merchant was
heard to remark that he had made
more money during the last IL
months than he ever had before in
his life in the same time-If this be
true it would seem that some where
in the retail field of commerce there
might be some profiteering. If so:
is it just? is it patriotic?
| A child beginning the study Of
numbers would probably define gos
| sip as the putting of two and tive
together and getting as a result five.
1t is not at all inproboble if every
body in Belington knew what the
other fellows said about them there
would be few bonds of friendship.
There is set of malicious prating
empty Drained, narrow-minded ig-
norant low-browed tattlers in every
community who murder character to
kill time. They of course are fault
less simon-pure specimens Of Gods
handiwork themselves and are just
ly entitled to have license to but
cher. But there is an all wise God
who holds their fate in the hollow
of his hand and it is doubtful il
his mark of approval will be ste up
on the wrecks which these human
hyenas have made upon life's high
ways and byways. That which
spreads poison is best unsaid.
There should live in the depths of
every human heart one warm and
sunny spot where nestle the images
of earthly love and the sweet rem
| entrances of childhood home The
memory of those first impressions
made upon the baby's mind and
heart will live forever. Oh, how
fleeting are days of childhood. Dear
mothers, shall you permit yourselves
to be so "cumbered about much SER
wing" that the rich garden of your
child's soul will lie neglected with
foul weeds choking out all worthy
and beautiful growth?
Definitions of Home
How much happier we would all
be if we would attempt. to build in
stead of tearing down; how much
sweeter our lives would be, if we
would encourage, by kind words,
those of our fellowmen and fellow
women who have fallen by the way
