Weldon Furniture Company, Weldon, N. C. thai always blows at ihe lop! Down below we always saw the mis and the rocks in the paih. We saw the (Morns and the bushes thai held us back and lore our cloihes. We spoke nboui how rough the granite rocks were as we climbed and draped each other upward. We remarked aliout ihe hot sun and Ihe stillness of the air at ihe foot of the mountain. We thought how confined and close it seemed between ihe hills and among ihe trees. We stepped on thorns and sat down wiih wry face to pick them out. We wondered why the gnats and mosquitoes and sweat bees were so much worse among the scrub oaks ihan on ihe prairie. So up and up we went, climbing the top long, winding trail that led to the top. ttut how different the atmos phere, both figuratively and liter ally, when we made the last turn and came out on top of the peak! t seemed that the whole world had suddenly opened before us. Down at the foot of the mountain on the east is the big lake. Away across the shining water the coun try sireiches off to while limestone hills. From north to west, as far as the eye cm see, stretches a gran ite range of high peaks. What a big, big world it is, and how won derful to look out and see it all at once! It is so big that it fills our eyes and our souls for a long time, and not a word is spoken except exclamations of wonder and awe. What of the gnats and the ruts and the thorns now? Where are they all this lime as our eyes have been trying to take in the broad world at one sweep? They seemed so important a few short minutes ago, but now they are forgotten or swallowed up, tn the bigger thing that has filled ,our eyes and thoughts. There $ .no room for them or, at least, itt ittey have a place they are so small M compar ison that they are not worth men tioning. 'Gnats do not fill a big place umong mountain ranges, So it is in life. There is a sum mit tor each of us manor woman or child. Up there we can see life as a great, wonderful thing that God has opened for us; the land scape is a purpose so big and won derful that it fills the whole vision as far as life can go. Up there the linle things that once seemed so annoying and so important are forgotten, or at least seem so un important in comparison that they are not lo be mentioned. Have you caught sight of the bigger purpose in life? Have dol lars and selfish ambition and bick erings and quarrelings sunk away into insignificance in the wonder ful vision that you have seen and 111 111 the great purpose that you taken up for the world?

No. 10 Brooklyn, New York IN FLANDERS FIELD BY JONN McCRANE. In Flanders fields the poppies grow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place, and in the sky, The larks, still bravely singing, fly. Scarce heard amid ihe guns below. We are ihe dead; short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrei with the foe ! To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high! If ye break faith with us who die We shall nol sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. ENVOY OF THE DEAD, Did a while moth flutter against die window pane ? Did a light wind whisper through the council hall The great men looked up, lo see if il would come again, And a listening silence fell upon them all. They seemed to see her, coming with her bandaged eyes; There was blood upon her dress where her wounds were bare; So they placed a chair for her, without question or surprise, For they knew the mighty dead had chosen to send her there. The mighty Nation of the Dead, who died on land and sea, And by ihe road, you knew their wounds, O Christ on Calvary ? They chose her, for she knew them all, soldier and little child The girls who in an hour grew old had sent a word by her; Within her quiet hands she held their wrongs unreconciled- She led a long procession, like a white-robed crucifer. And while they spoke of food and trade, she sat and listened, quietly; And when they spoke of armaments, she had no word to say lo them, But when they spoke of justice, she arose in simple dignity, Straight as the wooden cross men set outside Jerusalem. The Prince of Peace Himself has said: "Repentance is the only gate." There is no devious way to il. The way is narrow and is straight. The snow fell softly, like white moths against the window pane; Il may be mat a little wind went through ihe council room; They seemed tosee her coming back, lo speak with living men again l ne envoy ot me ueau mat wan oeyonu ine silence ot ihe tomb! DISCUSSINd THE MATTER. The Brooklyn Citizen tells about a farmer who said 10 his negro servant : "Jim, have you fed the horses?" "Yassir." "What did you feed 'em?" "Hay." "Did you feed the cows?" "Yassir." "What did you feed 'em?" "Hay." "Did you feed the ducks?" "Yassir." "What did you feed 'em?" "Hay." "Did they eal ii?" "Nawsir; dey didn't zactly eal it, so far as I saw, hut dey was talking ahout il when I lef." InbV ALL GET TM.S Bill is a soldier in France. Sev eral mmuhs ago his sweetheart, Dolly, sent him a box of fruit, nuts, etc. Two weeks later she sent a letter and incidentally asked him if he got the goodies. She evi dently didn't write distinctly or Bill didn't read carefully. To her surprise she received a letter From him saying: "Yes, every soldier r k ihe cooties." So much alike, yet so different.

A North of Ireland man wanted to send a telegram to a friend in a remote part of ihe island. The clerk told him ihe charge would be one shilling and six pence. "How do you make that out?" "Sixpence for the wire and shilling for delivery outside of the radium. That be hanged I" retorted the Irishman. "You send the tel egram and I'll write and ask him to call for ii."

Saiiergeld, thee lively young stu dents were strolling along a Paris boulevard in quest of exercise and recreation. In the course of their walk ihey came upon an old man who was trying to play a violin that he was almost too feeble lo manage. The generous young Fellows went down into their pock ets, but the whole trio could raise only a few cents and a piece of rosin. Thereupon one of them asked one of his companions to take the old man's violin and ac company the voices of the other wo. No sooner said than done. They commenced with a solo upon the theme oF the Carnival ol Ven ice, and soon attracted a bl ue con course oF visitors. Then came a favorite cavatina From La Dame Blanche, sung in such a manner as kept the audience spell hound; and yet again a trio from William Tell. By thai lime ihe poor old man was galvanized into life and activi ty by ihe artistic performance. He stood erect, and with his stick di rected the concert with the author ity of the practiced leader. Mean while contributions of gold and silver rained into his hat. To his astonished and grateful request for the names of his benefactors he re ceived from the first the name of Faith, from the others the response of Hope and Charily. "And I," said the old man, used to direct ihe opera at Stras bourg. You have saved my life, for 1 can go back to my native place, where I shall be able to leach what I can no longer perform." The young violinist was Adolph Herman, ihe tenor was Gustav Rogers, and ihe originator of ihe charitable scheme was Charles Gounod.
