ing Care of Toad Which Was
Small Boys Pet.

The duke of Wellington, while
strolling about his estate one day,
came upon small boy, the son Of a
gardener, down on his knees before
hole, and with tears running down
his face. The boy explained that his
pet toad lived in the hole, and that he
fed him every day, the toad knowing
him and following him about the gar
den. School was to open the next day
in distant town, and the lad was
afraid his toad would starve to death.
"Not at all, not at ALL" assured the
great leader. "I'l look after your
toad myself" The boy got up at
once, and the two gravely shook hands.
The duke was as good as his word,
and went several times a week to the
hole with handful of crumbs, and
the toad soon transferred his affection
to his grace. This so tickled the SOL
der that he wrote the boy a letter
telling him of the pets actions, bur
expressing the belief that when the
boy returned the toad would go back
to his first affection.

Two Atomic Theories.

An atom is a part so small as not
to be divisible. 1t is an ultimate par
ticle of matter. Two opinions, direct
ly opposite to each other, have long
had currency with regard to the con-
stituent particles of material things
the one, that matter is composed of
an assemblage Of minute particles, or
atoms, incapable of further division
the other, that there is no limit to
it's divisibility. the smallest conceiy.
able particle still consisting of an
infinity of parts. The first of these
theories, which is commonly distin-
guished by the name of atomic phil
osophy, was originated in Greece by
Leucippus it was supported by Dem.
ocritus and subsequently Improved BY
Epicurus and his disciples. The Epi
cureans professed to account for the
origin and formation of all things By
supposing that these atoms were en-.
dued with gravity and motion, and
thus came together into the different
organized bodies.

GET VALUE OF EACH MINUTE
No Man Has Right to Waste His
Own Time or Steal That
of Another's.

Life is composed only of two things,
time and effort One is useless without
the other. Both should be as nearly
100'per cent productive as we are able
to make them.
Try as best we may, the end of life
will find us with many things un-
done.
No man ever wholly completed the
task allotted to him. There is rea-
sonable excuse if into our use of time
no waste creeps.
For the man who wastes his own
time or steals another's there is nei-
Their excuse or valid reason.
Put value on every minute Be as
anxious and as certain to get that
value as you are to gain the worth of
your dimes and your dollars.
Remember that once a minute has
passed by it Is gone fOrever.-F. A.

1t was true: in spite of everything,
she was strangely glad. But it was
