saw written on one Reuben"
and on the other Ruth" and
they were filed with joy and
happiness, and went away with
arms about each others waists.
But the man with the Ray
neglected to mention the fact
that the photographs he had
taken showed that Reuben's
head was full of deep and
abiding love for Reuben and
Ruth's showed her to be pas
sionately enamoured of Ruth.
The moral is that the pro-

knew his business.

A man may avoid the Nin-com-

By flying fast and far;
And even subdue the Scalawag
BY stratagems of war.
And he even may dodge the
Fly-up-the-Creek
If he's lucky and does not fear;
And sometimes conquer the
powerful chump
Though the victory cost him
dear.
And a brave man may do up

Though it be a terrible fight,
But no man yet has escaped
from the clutch
Of the terrible Blatherskite.

How great a matter a little fire

The more one judges the less
one loves.
A mothers heart is an abyss

he is worth anything.

beauties that constitutes the real

Arrogance is the obstruction Of

An angry man opens his mouth
and shuts his eyes.
A fault-mender is better than

A man cannot leave his wisdom
or his experience to his heirs.
Friendship made in a moment
is Of no moment.
A wise mans country is that.

Il Children of Israel in the Sin

fed, believing it to have been
miraculously provided for them
every morning. However, there
are many kinds of mama, So
called. In all cases it consists of
a sugary emulation from leaves,
tender branchlets, and even stems
Of certain trees and other plants.
Lime trees and sycamores are
among those yielding mamma in the
form called honey dew.
Its appearing in the morning in
the shape of drops gave rise to the
term dew" while its sweetness
accounts for the honey" The
principal cause of the emulation is
to be found in the punctures made
by insects, especially aphides or
principal cause of the emulation is
plant lice, although in some cases
the liquid exudes through the nat

are oVercharged with sap.

product is very sweet and we'll

Your questions are based on the
assumption that the statements in
the ancient books to which you re-
fer must necessarily be interpreted
according to the strict meaning of
the words into which they have
been translated. Without discuss
ing the intention, Or the under
standing, of the authors OF those
statements, which have all the
earmarks of uncritical tradition, it
seems sufficient to say that to
have arrested the rotation of the
earth in order to stop the apparent
progress of the sun through the
sky, would have been an unneces-
sarily calamitous method of
achieving the object?
The simplest knowledge of the

1Uhere the grapes of 1OrGth
are stored,
He has Loosed the fGteful light
ming of his terrible, s10ift
s1Uord,
His truth Is marching on"
THOR two generations no one
has read these lines without
Il thrilling to their beauty and
feeling the depth of their stirring
spirit. And surely the splendid
woman who wrote the magnificent
Battle Hymn of the Republic"
should go down as one of the dis
tjnguished women of American
history as we'll as letters. {
Julia Ward was the daughter
of Samuel Ward, one of New
York's most prominent bankers.
She was born on the site of
what is now the United States
Custom House at Bowling Green,
New York. This was at the time
the most fashionable residential
section of the city.
In 1S4S this popular young girl.
who was born in the very best
society in America. married into
a fine Boston family. Her hus-
band was DR.. s. G. Howe. whose
work among the deaf and dumb
made him a prominent figure in
the United States.
Immediately her house became
the meeting place for all the dis
tinguished people of Boston.
1t was in the early days of the
civil war, when Mrs. Howe was
visiting in Washington, that she
went to see the Federal troops
reviewed.
The brave fellows were singing
John Browns Body" Mrs.
Howe could not control her emo
tons as she watched them swing
ing along and heard them sing
ing with joy in their hearts be-
cause they were giving their
lives to keep united a great ma
ton.
AS she listened to their strong
young voices the tears streamed
down her cheeks.
Her friend, James Freeman
Clark, who knew that she had
literary talent, was standing next
to her, and said:
You ought to write some new
words to that tune"
She chokingly replied
IT will"
That night she slept. - Early in
the morning she awoke and-as
though the words had come in a
dream-quickly penned the splen-
did battle hymn, which was sung
all over the country.
