The Lord is not alone in loving a
cheerful giver.
Some men never quarrel with
their wives because it costs too
much to make up.
Many a man who says that "all
fools are.not yet dead," gets angry
when told that his wife isn't a
widow._
Keeping the knowledge of evil
away from a child is not the best
way to shield him from such things,
for sooner or later he is going to
find out that it exists. The best
way is to explain things to him
frankly and then teach him the
great lesson of resistance to evil.
The American Red Cross has
raised thousands of dollars to be
sent to the Balkan war belt. This
association is one of the very few
international relief organizations in
the world, and the ^reatgood it has
done within the past half century,
in time of war and peace, entitles
its officers and hard workers to
several niches in the Hall of Fame.
Andy Carnegie announces that
he will give all but a few paltry
millions to the societies which he
has founded and which he hopes tc
see perpetuated. It will be no
ticed, however, that Andy's for
tune grows just a little faster than
his benevolences. The canny little
Scot has been a lavish giver, but he
has also been a prolific earner. He
has never yet seen his bank bal
ance written in red figures.
A BOY'S SENSE Of INJUSTICE.
There is nothing stronger in the
small boy than his sense of injus
tice. Wound this once anc
whether mother, teacher, or one of
any other intimate relation, you
have shaken his faith almost for a
life time: and you have sinned
against yourself and him irretrieva
bly. As a child, do you remember
a flogging you received at home 01
school, when you knew that the
administrator was merely giving
vent to his temper, or do you re
member a story someone you loved
*nd trusted put on you? We don t
like to SDeak of these things in the
after years, but we do well to think
of them, at the same time main
taining our self-control that we
may not offend the faith and con
fidence of any child.—Miss Linda
Clement, in The Progressive
Farmer.

DIDN’T WANT TO BE HARSH
Merchant Simply Had Idea of Doirg
a Good Turn to the Young
Lady Typist.
“An old customer of mine from the
Interior of the state came to town
a few days ago,” said a Philadelphia
wholesaler, “and after leaving his
order for the goods he asked the priv
ilege of sitting down to my desk to
write a letter. 1 took him to one of
the typists and told her to get his let
ter up in good simpe, and the two
worked over it for half an hour. Then
the man came back to me with his let
ter in his hand and said:
“‘Mr. Blank, this typewriting busi
ness is a great thing.’
“ ‘Yes.’
“ ‘And that's a fine girl who did the
work for me.’
“ ‘Yes!’
“ ‘She made her fingers go like
lightning.’
“ 'Yes, she is very speedy.’
“ ‘Seemed to be perfectly w illlng to
oblige.’
“ ’Yes.’
'“A very nice girl, indeed, and I
hope that she’ll get on. In fact, I
want, to put in a word for her.’
“ 'That's kind of you. What is it?'
" ‘Tell her,’ he said, as he glanced
over his shoulder, ‘that if she’ll pay a
little more attention to her spelling
she'll come out at the top of the heap.
Tell her in a way not to hurt her
feelings?
“ ‘But. what words has she spelled
wrong?’
“ ‘He held out the letter and point
ed to a word and whispered:
“ 'The young lady got one "f” too
many in the word, hut tell her as
gently as possible.'
“The word was ‘coffee.’’’
SHOULD THE WOMAN PROPOSE
Question That Seemlngiy May Be Re
lied On to Get an Argument
at Any Time.
Ever since this conundrum was put
to me, I have been submitting It to
everybody I met. There has been
extraordinary diversity In the answers
They have run from a shocked “No!
No! No!" through a hesitating, “Well,
I don’t see why—and yet I could never
do it myself,” to a decided, “Yes,
certainly! Why not?"
One woman said: “Under no cir
cumstances. Nothing ever Justifies us
in forgetting our w'omanliness.” An
oth^r: “Yes, indeed. In fact, I pro
posed to my husband. I saw that he,
was in love with me, but that he
thought that we could not afford to be
married. I knew that we could, and
so I proposed to him.” Another: "Of
course women should propose. They
are much better judges of character
than men, more intuitive and spirit
ual.” Another: “If women proposed,
there would be fewer unhappy mar
riages. As things are, men can choose
from their entire set of women. Wom
en can choose only from those who
propose to them. If women proposed
more of them would marry tne man
they really wanted to marry.” An
other: “I think the one should pro
pose who could do it the most artist
ally.” (Note—She was a young girl
writer, and I am afraid considerations
of literary effects guided her conclu
sions.)—Harper's Bazar.
A Difference.
“Ever since I was done converted
last week,” remarked a certain col
ored citizen in a chastenedly-trt
umphant tone, "muh conscience
gnaws me when I thinks o’ what a
sinner I was befo' I seed de blessed
light. I was false to de Lawd and
untrue to muh fellermen, and muh
conscience gnaws-”
“Do it gnaw yo’ enough, nrudder
Bogus,” grimly interrupted old Broth
er Gumpshun, "to make yo’ pay me
back dem fou-dollahs yo' borrled off’m
tne yeah bef' last?”
"W’y—w’y, sah!—yo’ knows how
dost de times is, dese days, and—■—
Well, sah, here's hnffer-dollah, dat I'll
pay vo’ now’, and-”
“Huh! If dat’s de bept yo' kin do,
sah. yo’ conscience ain’t gnawin'—
it's dess uh-nibblin'.”—Satire.
Delicate Subject.
“Do you think, ray darling," ho
gurgled, as he buried his manly mus
tache in his charmer's silk-soft neck,
“that your father will consent to our
marriage?”
“Well, popkins," she replied, “of
course, papa will be sorry to lose me
—still ”
“Rut," inlerrupted the ardent one,
"I will remind him that instead of
losing a daughter he will gain a son."
A deadly pallor o'erspread her da
mask cheek.
“Clarence." she cried, “if you real
ly want me, 1 Implore you to say
nothing so foolish. Papa has three
such sons living with him now. and
he’s extremely touchy on the subject."
-Tit-Bits.
Quakers Increasing.
While so many of the churches are
deploring a falling-off In membership,
the Society of Friends in this country
has been increasing for many years
past, and now, for the first time in
many generations, the increase is at
a greater rate than that of the gen
eral population. During the last det>
ade the population advanced by 10.9
per cent, while the increase in the
membership of the Society of Friends
was 13 per cent. There is a eonsid- ■
erable excess of women over men in '
the membership, and the proportion of
women shows a tendency to iucreaso.

Starting
The Fire
"They brought the coal thi3 after
noon, Harry,” Mrs. Newsom an
nounced as her husband sat down at
the dinner table and she placed the
steak before him.
"Hood!” ejaculated Newsom. "I’ll
build a furnace fire tonight. Kitty
We’re ‘starting it earlier this year
than we did last.”
“Later,” Mrs. Newsom said, as she
seated herself opposite him. "Last
year we built our first furnace fire on
Oct IS. I remember the date per
fectly; ft was the day I entertained
the card club and Mrs. Warren
couldn't conte Her sister was ill and
Mrs Warren remained at home to
*nke care of the children, much to my
relief; she Is a very fussy woman and
you know how a furnace fire makes
such an odor wl en it’s started?”
Newsom nodded his, head as he cut
into the steak. "I <k>n’t remember all
that, of course, bin I do remember
that we started the furnace later,
about the ?Sth. I think.”
“How ridiculous of you to insist
upon that, Harry, when I’ve just told
you when we did start it?" Mrs New
com rejoined, her cheeks flushing. “I
av we started the furnace on Oct.
18.”
"I’ve net the slightest objection to
"our saying that, my dear, because
vou evidently believe it, provided you
■rant me thep rivilege of saying that
vc started (lie fire on Oct. 28.”
“You’re exasperating. Harry.” Mrs
Newsom explained. rising to her feet
I’ll Ret my diary and settle the mat
'er once for all." She rushed out of
' he room
Newsom called after her: ‘Til get
'he con! bill; that will settle it.”
At the end of several minutes Mrs
Newsom appeared in the library
■vhere her husband was searching
through a letter Pie.
“Harry, you’ve hidden my diary so
i can’t convince you of your mistake."
he accused him. “What have you
lone with it?”
“1 haven't seen vour diary. What
lave you done with the coal bills?”
"They’re somewhere in the file. You
’an look for them while I’m eating my
linner; I don’t propose to dine on
■old steak and potatoes after I had
'he trouble of making them hot, sim
>!y because you're obstinate.”
Mrs Newsom swept out of the
■oom. only to return the next instant,
leclaring with visible elation: “Now,
”m certain we did start the fire on
he 18th, because the day after that
he man put up the storm windows
• nd he swept the coal dust off the
walk.”
"Wonderful memory you have.”
Newsom declared, shutting the file In
’isgust “How do you happen to re
member that Oct 1ft was the day the
man put up the storm windows and
-wept off the coal dust?”
"Because that was the day after
■p started the furnace fire on the
’8th.” Mrs Newsom answered, fri
■mphantly “Now, are you convinced?
\nd. speaking of memories, you do
troyed last year’s recipted coal bill'
vhen we cleaned house, so it’s hardly
worth your while looking further for

i m not convinced, Newsom
'bouted. springing to his feet. He
1 ropped the file In his flurry and scat
•ered the contents, which did not add
o his amiability "But there must be
ome way of convincing you Yes
■orne to think of it, 1 made a note on
he direction card that hangs beside
■he furnace Now, I'll show you."
“You never mentioned before that
vou made a note on the card when
we started the furnace,” Mrs. New
ome said suspiciously.

ho exclaimed: "What's the matter?

"Rhoda." Mrs Newsom cried des

Wasn’t it the day I entertained the

"No. indeed." said her sister "The
women nearly froze that dav sitting

unexpected answer “It was the next

“1—1—wed! " Mrs Newsom stopped
