PETITION OTP TIIK PLODDER,
lord. let me not bo too content
With life In trilling service spent.
Make me aspire.
When days with petty cares are filled,
"Let me with lleotinti thought be thrilled
Of something higher.
Help mo to Ions for mental grace
to struggle with the commonplace
I dally find.
May littlo deeds not bring to fruit
A crop of little thoughts to suit
A shriveled mind.
I do not ask for placo among
Great thinkers who have taught and sung
And scorned to bend
Coder the trifles of tne hour.
I only would not lose the power
To comprehend.

Competition With the Almighty.
When th first trucks of the Illinois
Central railroad were being laid In
southern Illinois the superintendent of
construction went one day for a drink
-Of water to a well beside the cabin of
n old Kentucky darky, who had
found freedom and philosophy on the
north side of the Ohio river. The old
man was smoking his corncob pipe in
the shade of his sycamore tree.
"Well, Uncle Sambo," said the rail
road builder as ho hung up the gourd
on the well sweep again, "don't you
do any work at all?"
"Me? Yass, sahr. I work six months
every w inter on a flatboat on dat river
yonder."
"Well, I suppose when we get the
railroad through you will want to come
In with us and get a job on a flat car."
"No, sahr! Ain't uevah goin to be
'uough work on your railroad to keep
no man busy six months in the yah.
Can't yo' see dat river yonder, Ilowin',
flowlii"? Lord lie made dat river to
float things down on, and der ain't no
use buildin a r;!road to enter iuto
competition with do Almighty."

An Evidence of. Good Training.
When young Meagles took the train
for Harvard his father said:
"As soon as you find out let uie know
if you have passed your entrance ex
aminations." Two days later, in the midst of mak
ing a heavy deal, he received the fol
lowing telegram: "Yes. J. Meagles,
Jr."
Somewhat preoccupied and puzzled,
he telegraphed back: "Yes, what?"
The well trained son wired back:
-"Yes, sir."
"A Safe Remedy.
Uis sleep had been disturbed nightly
by the howling on his own back fence
of his neighbor's cat At last In de
spair he consulted his lawyer.
"There slt3 the cat every night on
our fence," he explained, "and he
yowls and yowls and yowls. Now, I
don't want to have any trouble with
this neighbor, and I want you to sug
gest a remedy. I am well within my
rights If I shoot the cat, am I not?"
"I would hardly say that," replied
the legal light "The cat does not be
long to you, as I understand it."
"No."
"And the fence does?"
' Yes."
. ""Then I think It safe to say that you
ba-ve a perfect right to tear down the
tence." Lipplncott's.
Before He Ran For President,
"When I was in congress," said Wil
liam Jennings Bryan, "I was asked to
speak In Ohio In one of the campaigns.
I went out loaded with a long address.
The meeting was a big one. I was
fourth on the list of speakers. The
chairman looked me over as the third
man was finishing. Apparently be was
la doubt about something, for he tip
toed over to my chair and asked in a
whisper, 'Excuse me, Mr. Bryan, but
do you speak or sing?" '
Train the Faculties.
Nikola Tesla was talking about his
student days at Prague.
"I remember well," he said, "an old
, professor of great originality and acu
men. This professor insisted on the
value of a free use of the perceptive
faculties and was always pointing oat
the need for this use in strange ways.
"One day on arising to lecture he be
gan: " 'Gentlemen, you do rot use your
faculties of observation as you should.'
"lie laid on the table before him a
pot filled with some vile smelling
chemical compound a thick brown
etuff.
"'When I was a student,' he went
. on. I did not fear to use my sense of
taste.'
. file dipped his finger deep Into the
pot and then stuck his finger in his
mouth.
; "Taste It gentlemen; taste it' be
said, smiling grimly.
"The evil'-pot passed around the
i class, and one after another we dipped
cur fingers in it and then sucked them
clean. Th tasto of the thick brawn
compound was horrible. 'VTe mad
wry faces and spluttered. The pro
fessor watched us with a grim smile.
'Vheu the pot was finally returnee1
to him his thin lips parted, and he gave
a dry chuckle.
" 'I must repeat, gentlemen,' lie said,
'that you do not uso your faculties of
observation, if you had looked more
closely at me you would have observed
that the linger I put In my mouth was
not the one 1 dipped iuto the pot."

pastor for guidance and prayer.
"To show you, my brethren, the

friends today he sits among us, not

A Farcical Vengeance.
A magazine editor was congratulat
ing Kichard Harding Davis on the suc
cess of his farces.
"You handle the farce," said the edi
tor, "as skillfully as you used to handle
the short story. You have the gift of
seeing everything lu a farcical light.
Could you treat farcically the situation
of a wife's elopement with her hus
band's friend? Would you get any fun
out of a situation so grimly sad and
horrible as that?"
Mr. Davis laughed.
"One of the principals in Just such a
situation," he said, "got a good deal of
fun out of it. I allude to the deserted
husband. He gut fun and a terrible re
venge as well. This deserted husband
sent the aforesaid best friend a packet
and the following letter:
"'Dear Sir I'ltaso hand the inclosed
set at false teeth to my late wife and
:;sk her to 1 e so cml as to return my
father's, which, ia I lie hurry of the mo

A teacher in a New England school

day when a small boy was reading he

as follows: "What a good time I am
bavin'!"
"No, Johnny," Interrupted the teach
er, "you made a mistake. Don't you
remember what I've been telling you?
Try that last sentence again."
Johnny reread its before, "What a
good time I am havln'!"
"No, no," said the teacher a little im
patiently. "Don't you know all I've
told you about pronouncing the 'g'?"
Johnny's face lightened, and he be
gan again confidently, "Gee, what a
good time I am havln'!" Everybody's.
