C. i Sdtaieem is a good thing hut j you don't want too P!"C" of it; i enough of anything is enough and j no matter how good a thing is, too j much is more ihan you need, and self-esteem is no exception to the ! rule. It is well enough for a man to I hold his head up and step around j with an air of considerable impor-. lance, if he is really doing any good in the world by living in ii. j 01 course a man wants to possess ! self confidence, and he wants to i think he is just as good as anybody ; but he don't want to think that the welfare of mankind hinges on his j actions, or that the earth rests on ! his shoulder. w line it is well enougn tor a man to have a good opinion of him self, and feel that he is able to do it alone, he should be careful not to go too far. Self-esteem Is like a mince pie alright in moderate quantities, but seven or eight slices is all one should indulge in at one time. A man has to assume an air of some importance in this world to get along, but the trouble is, too many slop over. This is a big world and no man is imperatively necessary to its success. Presidents, kings and school directors may die, but still the old world goes around. Gov ernors may resign, road overseers may move away, but the great mass of mankind never stop to weep, and when you and I pass off this stage of action, there will be several people perhaps who will not miss us. Yes, this is a big world and spread yourself as you will, gain all the name and fame possible, reach as far to the front as you can am. still you have succeeded in at tention of but a few. And when you die, millions of eyes will never shed a tear, and millions of tongues will never speak your name. Your children will quarrel over your wealth, the lawyers will gobble it and ihe world will soon forget you. NO LONGER INTERESTED.

H IEILI1 & CO.. Pronator. St. Lou!.. MlMoart Some of the world's rarest and most beautiful poems have been written in prison cells. The following verses have a poignant touch of human interest from the fact that they were composed by a man now serving a fifteen-year sentence in the United States prison at Atlanta: To the dear land of the South Where the mockingbirds sing the sweetest, VChere the white magnolias blossom, And the maidens ate prettiest, Where the white rose is the whitest. And the blue skies are the bluest, And the men are always gallant And fair women's hearts are truest I returned from many wanderings, Through the snow fields of the North, To pass my days in pleasure In the land that gave me birth. Where I, with my sweet sisters, In childhood's happy days. Strolled 'mid the fragrant orange groves Beneath their perfumed sprays. The pine trees sing the same sweet song They sang long years ago, Beside the laughing waters, where The cotton blossoms blow. The cottage on the hillside, Run o'er with clinging vine, Looks pleasant in the pale moonlight, And in the broad sunshine, But, O, the changes Time has wrought, When I stood before That friendly lassie, when but a boy, There met me at the door, The smiling face and virgin heart Of gentle, blue-eyed May, Whose tender form now lies beneath A mound of rose-wreathed clay. I sought the spot, where rests in peace, The girl I loved so well, And by the sacred mound, alone, Upon my knees I fell. Then suddenly there came to me A vision wondrous fair; The girl I loved so long ago, In memory, met me there. Methought she looked the same as when I last beheld her face; Since then, the little churchyard there Has been my trysting place. Where oft, in stilly hours of night. Alone, I bend my way, To meet in memory's realm again My darling, blu-eyed May. AN AWKWARD APOLOOY. I A kindergarten teacher in Wash ington, with a pile of books on her arm, was about to get off a street car just as a gentleman I whom she thought she recognized as the parent of a pupil in her school got on. "Good morning!" she said, with a cheery smile. Instantly she saw, by the quizzi cal expression on the face of the man addressed, that she had made a mistake. Intending to correct it. she added quickly. "Oh. pardon me! 1 thought you 1 were the father of one of our chil dren." NOT RISKING INTERFERENCE. ATTRACTIVE TOURS Blessing Be On The Home-Loving Mother. ! i - We must draw a line, a broad ; ! line, between the home mother I j and the worldly mother, who, for-: j geiful of the sacred task assigned ! her, neglects those who have been ; given into her charge, leaving them 1 to fnt'Cu'' hirelings, while she pursues her gi3u;yii!)und ofamuse-! ment. , ! Not so with our home mother. 1 Thd heart warms to see her in her daily rounds of duties. How pleased she sits day after day, shaping and ' sewing some linle articles for use ! and ornament of her little ones, i And how proud and pleased is each linle recipient of her kindness. ! How the little faces dimple with ! pleasure and the bright eyes grow j still brighter as mother decks them j witn ner own nanus in the new dress she has made. How much more warm and comfortable they feel if mother wraps them up be fore they go to school. There is a particular charm about all she does, explain it who can. They could not sleep nay, for that matter, she could not, if she failed to visit their room, and ar range them comfortably before they slept. He heart thrills with gratitude as she imprints a good night kiss on each rosy cheek. It may be, too, a tear will start for ihe little nestling in its chill nar row bed, for whom her maternal care is no longer needed. It sleeps though the wild winter winds howl around its head. A mightier arm enfolds it. It is at rest. She bends meekly to the Hand that sped the shaft, and turns with a warmer love, if it be possible, to those little ones who are left to loVe. How tenderly she watches by their bed side when they are ill ! Blessing be on the home-loving mother! Angels look with love upon her acts. Her children will grow up and call her blessed and the memory of her kindly deeds will remain when time shall have blotted out everything besides. The mother is the incarnation of love; for she finds her chief joy in promoting the happiness of her offspring. How great the privi lege of having such a mother. How strong are her claims on her chil dren's gratitude, love and good of fices. Scottish American. The average married man knows what it is to be cross-examined. HIS TRADE.
