Mother and Her Bravery.
Many a soldier who bravely
stood at his post during our civil war
is covered with badges. We would
not take one from him. he merits
them: but many an “ordinary"
woman has stood at her post of duty
for thirty years, or even half a
century, fighting with sickness,
poverty and discouragement and
with Spartan courage kept the wolf
from the door and saved the lives
of a large family of children. The
man who saves one life receives a
prize for bravery, his picture ap
pears in the metropolitan papers,
and he wears a medal which says
to the world that he was brave.
And he was. But the woman who
has saved the lives of many is
given no badges, and seldom a
word of recommendation. These
"ordinary” women may not receive
a Carnagie badge for bravery, but
' He who marks the sparrow,s fall"
will certainly reserve a Jeweled
crown for them in heaven.
The Gossip.
None can hope to hold a candle
for persistence in the vandal who
goes peddling bits of scandal up
and down the village street; when
lie should be busy hoeing in the
garden patch or mowing, on foul
errands he is going, traveling on
eager feet. "Have you heard the
latest story on William Hunky
dory?" asks the scandalmonger
hoary, as you try to pass him by.
“Have you heard what they are
tollin’ on Jim Rooster's sister
LUen?" And the wierd and wick
ed felon then repeats some evil lie.
Maybe when this freak was young
er for good tales he had a hunger,
but become a scandalmonger, noth
ing suits him but the base; ne’er a
of admiration for a soul in all the
nation, but one of appreciation ever
trickles from his face. Does he
pause to wonder why in blitzen or
in thunder people try to stand from
under when his voice he would
upraise, why the people dodge and
shun him save the ones who
come to dun him— why they show
a wish to run him from the village
twixt two days? This is true my
friends, be jabers; If you lie before
your neighbors, then the wages for
your your labors will be deathless
scorn and hate: tell stories not de
manded, doing actions underhand
ed, finally will see you landed
where pariah congregate.—Walt
Mason.

Starting It.
"Why do you always call me
‘Sweet?’ Can you not And a better
term of endearment than that?”
“It 1b not exactly a term of en
dearment, Sweet. I was thinking of
the old saying: ‘Sweet are the uses
of adversity.’”
Tanner, Spare That Toad.
A Mississippi cotton planter found
two toads feeding at the end of a
row of cotton and with the antipa
thy for the creatures which is com
mon to the human family he swat
ted them. Then, out of cu iosity,
he cut on 3 of the slain toads open
and found a hundred boll-weevils in
its stomach. He now recognizes the
toad as a powerful ally in combat
ing this bugbear of cotton planters
and has started the propagation of
toads.'
Thus the ugly toad which has
for some time been recognized by
naturalists as the natural enemy of
many of oar insect pests is corning
into his own and winning favor
with many who were formerly hos
tile to him. Shakespere said the
toad has a jewel in its head. This
has never been found, and perhaps j
he meant the word “jewel" in a fig
urative sense.
