L. G. Gibson and L. F. Magee,
When a young man is always
asking for a raise, it is a sure sigr
he expects to quit within a short
while. When an employer sees
that a man is deserving an ad
vancement in salary, he is pretty
sura to get it without asking, and
the man who devotes all his time
to talking about it, doesn't usually
deliver the goods.
Boys and young men who think
it is “smart" to cultivate habits of
questionabe “good fellowship”
might read with profit the career of
a young man who was recently
sent to state's prison for twenty
years because, in a moment of
drink-madness, he shot a girl for
whom, as he said during his trail,
had always had nothing but sincere
friendship. Drink made him ir
responsible and he committed near
rnurder in a second's tim§. Drink
may be an excuse, in one sense of
the word, but the inexorable law of
man does not condone the offense
on that account. Booze interferes
with business and it interferes with
men’s duty to society and his
friends. Shun the overflowing cup
if you expect to succeed. That
man has never been born who can
say truthfully that he has con
quered our country’s greatest
curse.
NOW DIFFERENT HERE.
No Danish young woman, no
matter how rich, would think she
was treating her husband right if
she took change of a home without
knowing how to cook and look after
general house keeping in an intelli
gent manner. At the royal court.
Minister Egan says, you may
sometime take notice of the tem
porary absence of some beautiful
young woman who has figured in
social functions. "And where is
your daughter? 1 have not seen
her lately," you may remark to her
father. “Oh. she is engaged to be
married," will be the reply, "and
has gone to such-and-such a plac<= j
for a few months for training in ■
house keeping. Clarence Poe, in
T he Progressive Farmer.
A PROSE POEM.
She was a woman, worn and thin,
whom the world had condemned
for a single sin: they cast her out
of the King's highway and passed
her by as they went to pray. H<
was a man and more to blame, but
the world spared him a breath of
sl\ame: beneath his feet he saw her
lie, but he raised his head and
passed her by. They were the
people who went to pray at the
temple of God on a holy day; they
scorned the woman, forgave the
man- it was ever thus since the
world began. Time passed on and
the woman died, on the Cross of
• Shame was Crucified: but the world
was stern and would not yield, and
they buried her in the potter's
field. The man died, too. and they
buried him in a casket of cloth with
silver rim. and said, as they turned
from his grave away. "We've buried
an honest man today.” Two mor
tals knocked at Heaven's gate, and
stood face to face to inquire their
fate. He carried a passport of
earthly sign, and she a pardon
from Lova Divine. Oh, we who
judge twixt virtue and vice, which
think ye entered Paradice? Not
he whom the world had said would
win, fos t ie woman alone ei terea

ONCE MOflE Ifl GOOD STANDING
Church Member Compromised His
Debt and Again Was Given the
Right Hand of Fellowship.
There were two colored men talking
in loud tones at the other end of the
railway platform, and we walked down
to hear what the row was about. One
of them was a deacon in a colored
church and the other was a drayman.
The former was flourishing a paper in
his hand and saying:
“Car's de Aggers, right dar. You
owes de church ’zaekly fo'teen hun
dred fur pew rent, and I'ze been sent
to see what you’ze gwiue to do about
it.”
“Fo'teei\hundred dollars, eh?" quer
ied the drayman.
"Yes. sah. Car's de Aggers, all fig
gered up by a white man. You ain't
j dun paid no pew rent in all you bn'n
days. Coca you dispute dem Aggers,
sah?”
“No, 1 reckon not.”
“And am you gwine to settle?"
“Fur how much?"
“Why, sah, de committee dun sot
upon you last n:ght till h ben o’clock,
and it finally dun decided not to settle
dis case short of two hull dollars.”
“Wall, I reckon I'll tun pay it.
Yere's de cash."
"Yas, sah—yas sah—dat's k'rect,
sah. Cat proves you was an honest
man, suh. You is now all squar’ wid
de chuch, and if you wants to git up in |
a front pew and do shoutin' nobody
hain’t gwine to pint at. you and say

AGENT QUICK TO SEE POINT
Dog's Collar Revealed Character of
Tenants and They Couldn't Rent
the Flat.
l
References which appeared satisfac
tory had been placed in the hands of
the renting agent, who was on the
point of declaring them unnecessary,
owing to the genteel appearance of
the applicants for a flat, when sud
denly he exclaimed:
“By the way. I’m sorry, but I don't
believe I can let you have that flat,
after all. It's bepn spoken for.”
When the possible tenants had de
parted indignantly, the agent said:
"Do you know what made me
change my mind so suddenly? It was
their dog's collar. In lifting the lit
tle fellow up to pet him 1 read the
inscription on his cc!’'\r. It was en
graved with four different addresses,
all of which had been put on since
last tax day. Three of the addresses
had been scratched out, and if they
had secured my flat anotiier would
have been scratched out and a fifth
added by day after tomorrow. A dog’s
collar marked like that shows that
his owners don't stay in one place ]
long enough to get a new plate on liis
collar between moves, and I don't
care to rent to transients.”
Altogether Beyond Him.
A leading New York newspaper once
sent a man to cover the big Baltimore
fire. He was a specialist in what
some one lias termed "marshaled ad
jectives," and he was depended upon
to impart the necessary "color" to the
leading story on the great conflagra
tion. With him w ere sent a half dozen
other men to get the detailed facts.

Plowing Is Hard Work.
Plowing is said to be the harder
work known. Last year in this coun
try there were 275.000.l'00 acre
plowed, at a cost of $450,Om»,000. Thh
means the turning of 2,000,000 'ons o
earth. Every five square miles o
plovving means a distance traveled o
25,000 miles. It means a single fur
row around the whole earth. Ever?
loaf of bread requires the plovving o
a furrow forty-eight feet , long. Tr
plow one acre is a whole day’s wor!
for one man and one horse; but it i*
only thirty minutes’ work for one mai
and a tractor. In a test recently mads

EViCTED VICEROY FROM HOME
Element of Humor in Recent Action
of Petulant Government of New
South Wales.
Australia is a land of political ex
periments. The latest of these is the
eviction of the governor-general or
viceroy, the official representative of
the king. It is the government of
New South Wales that has performed
this astonishing feat, and the indigna
tion which burst forth at the moment
is giving way to prolonged laughter.
Since the union of the colonies under
the name of the Commonwealth of
Australia, it has boon the habit cf the
governor-general to live for a part of
the year at Sydney, New South Wales,
and for the other part at M lbourne,
Victoria, Government house at Sydney
is the property of the government of
New South Wales, having been the
residence of the governors of that col
! only before the commonwealth was
! formed; but the colonial government
| gladly lent it to the viceroy of all Aus
! tralia for the honor of his presence
I in the city.
Hut the government of the colony
recently took offense at the proposal
of the federal government for the es 1
I tablishment by the commonwealth ol
1 a post office savings bank, which ;
| would have come into competition i
; with the New South Wales State Sav j
ings bank, and rashly resolved to em- j
j phasize its opposition, hoping perhaps
! to frighten the federal government
from its purpose, by resuming posses
sion of government house and thereby
turning out the governor-general. The
dt ed has been done and loot’d Den
; l:ain has left the city, cheered all
; along the route to the railway station
by the citizens, and presented on their
behalf by the lord mayor with an ad
dress expressing love and loyalty, con
demning the action of the government
rs an indefensive eutrage on the na
tional hospitality, and affirming the of

' ROYAL HEADS NOT ALL WEA*
Seme Able Mrn Among Those Who
Are at Present the Occupants of
European Thrones.
Though the kings and priuces of
; Europe include some sadly deterior
; aied physical specimens, it would b»
a mistake to suppose that, they have
not some able men among them. Prob
ably they average as high in mental
ability as kinds did in the middle ages
when they not only reigned, but gov
erned. The German emperor is a
E'rojig ruler, and Francis Joseph of
Austria has sailed his crazily built em
pire on a very even keel for many1
> ears.
Victor Emmanuel of Italy is a very
prudent and clever man, who can
think anti act on his own responsibil
ity, and Alfonso of Spain is a man of
great spirit and an able politician.
Ferdinand of Bulgaria is cutting a
wide swath just at present, and is
credited with brains.
George V> of England is common
place, but prudent. Accounts of the
i haracter and ability of the Russian
zar differ widely. Some who ha\e
een him credit him with great abil
ty, but the course of events In Russia
;oes not seem to justify this estimate,
ting Ilaakon of Norway is undoubted
y a clever man, and King George of
JreeCe has been an excellent diplo
natic agent for the Hellenic kingdom,
s well as a shrewd moderator of the
lersonal ambitions of Greek states
men.
