I knotv not whence I came;
I know not whither I go; " '
But the facts stand clear that I am here
In this world of pleasure and woe.
And out of the mist and mark
Another truth shines plain;
It is in my power each day and hour -
To add to its oy or pain.
- -
I know that the earth exists;
It is none of my business why.
I cannot find out whas It's all about;
I, would but waste time to try.
My life Is a brief, brief thing,
I am here but. a little spaco;
And while I stay I would like if I may,
To brighten and better the place.
The trouble, I think, with as all,
Is the lack of a high conceit ;
If each man thought he was sent to
this spot
To make it still more sweet.
How soon would be gladden the world,
How easily right all wrong;
If nobody shirked and each one worked
To help his fellows along.- I ,
Cease wondering why you came
'Stop looking for faults and flaws;
Rise up today in your pride and say
"I am part of the First Great Cause,
However full the world.
There is room for an honest man ;
It has need of me or I would not be;
I am here to strengthen the plan."

Ambitions.
irfepe. take j a
cuoutiYe Nerrine dai
dose or two
Ambition is sometimes treated as
though it were a vice, because by
an unworthy ambition the angels
fell ; but, as a matter of fact, am
bition is one of the great moving
forces of the world, and proper am
bition is a great virtue. It is, after
all, nothing more than a desire to
advance one's self, but it takes
many forms, both as to its object
and as to the means employed to at
tain the object. ,A man whose ambi
tion is wealth and who is unscrup
ulous respecting the means houses
to gain money may degenerate into
a common thief. But the man
whose ambition is success in his
calling may acquire wealth in con
sequence of that success and may
be scrupulously honest in all his
actions. The object of one's am
bition is, generally speaking, a test
of Jts quality. Some -men desire
knowledge irrespective of the fame
or money it may bring them. They
are under little temptation to em
ploy unfair or dishonest means in
the attainment of their purpose.
Their ambition is honest and may
be honestly pursued. Others make
knowledge the means to an end.
Their ambition is notoriety, or
fame, or wealth, and such men are
seldom scrupulous about the means
they employ to accomplish their
purpose. The character of these
ambitions is exhibited even in the
miniature world the school room.
Some pupils work for the prizes or
for class honors.- They care noth
ing about acquiring a solid foun
dation of knowledge that will serve
them in after years. Their sole
objept is to shine on commence
ment day. Others hae a high
ambition and neglect the prizes of
competition. They are studious
and attentive because they enjoy
their school work and realize the
value of training, and they think
little of themselves or of their own
fortunes. They want to do good
work in their chosen line irrespec
tive of the rewards therefor. Jt
those who aim at mere prizes can
win by trickery, they are content;
it is the prize they are after, not
the substance which it represents.
But the man with a worthy ambi
tion could not- be content to suc
ceed except by merit. A prize
would have no value in his eyes if
he did not feel that he had earned
it. Sometimes the prizes fall to
those who have earned them with
out making them the object of
their labors; more often they fall
to those who seek them, and this
may, perhaps, account for the fact
often observed that1 prize-winners
as a rule seldom do anything more
than win prizes. " . '
Ambition is a most useful incen
tive to labor ; it .deserves encour
agement rather than repression,
but it should be a worthy ambi
tion honorably pursued. How are
we to tell whether an ambition is
worthy or unworthy ? A simple if
not infallible test is the relation of
ambition to. selfishness. If one's
ambition is altogether selfishif
the desire is to win personal prizes,
money, or fame,-or office, it is an
unworthy ambition; if the desire
is to do good, to promote the pub
lic welfare, to add to the enjoy
ment of the world in art or litera
ture, to advance knowledge or to
alleviate suffering, the ambition is
most worthy and may bring to
those who follow it the prizes that
of themselves - are unworthy ob
jects. To counsel any one to fling
away ambition is to counsel mm 10
abandon the incentive to earnest
labor. Ambition should be en
couraged, but it should be the am
bition to acquire knowledge for
the benefit it may confer upon hu
manity ; the. ambition to excel in
art for the sake of the influenced
that art upon others ; the ambition
to do good rather than the ambi
tion to acquire something for one's
self, as money, or fame, or official
distinction. Baltimore Sun.
Here's Romance for You.
In the estimation of the Samoane,
says Leslie's Weekly, there is no
one who can lead the troops of the
Vaimaunga into armed .conflict ex
cept the taupou, or maid of VaialaJ
Without her encouraging presence
on the war road the troops would
hardly move, and there would be no
hope of victory. This is the maid
who became historic in the war of
1893 as the compeller of victory
for the supporters of King Lau
pepa over Rebel Mataafa. The
battlefield was a long mile west of
Apia; the camp of the loyalists
was a short mile east of the town.
At daybreak the army took up its
march through Apia. At its head
was the maid, Sueina, clad in a
scanty girdle of grass, glistening
with thick unction of cocoanut oil,
wearing an enormous wig on her
head, and her face smeared with
soot, to present a terrific aspect to
the foe. Thus transformed out of
all maidenly resemblance, the sav
age maid led her forces along the
road which led to the field of com
bat., There is an old tradicion
among the people of the Vaimaun
ga that victory will rest with their
army if the maid who leads them
to the conflict shall kill with her
own hands the first living thing
which crosses her path. Two men
ran ahead to clear the track. A
venturesome boy ran, just across
the path. By the old custom that
boy should die. But he wriggled
himself into a pile of lumber, where
he was inaccessible. While the
warriors were tearing the timber
pile to pieces Sneina was debating.
She had been brought up at the
mission school; she was one of the
few Samoans who can speak and
read English; she had been much
with white people, and the old cus
tom was repugnant. Still it was
the law. She called out that the
boy was not the first living thing
to cross her path ; a dog had ' run
across even nearer to her. The
dog was speedily found. Sueina
made her long beheading knife
whistle in circles about her head;
she brought it down and cut the
offending dog in two, trampled on
the carcass, and took up her line
of march, leaving the frightened
boy to make his escape. The
troops came out victorious.
Three Dollars Ahead.
Joe Walsh, night clerk was a
party to a deal the other night
which made him $3 richer and
which he is still studying about.
It was getting along1 toward the
theatre hour, when one of the
guests of the hotel came down
stairs with his valise, and, after
paying his bill, requested that the
clerk keep his valise until he came
back from .the show, as he was go
ing out on a late train. He also
pulled a $5 bill out of his pocket
and asked the clerk to change it.
Walsh looked in his cash drawer,
but found he did not have it.
"Well," said the guest, "just
keep the $5 for security and lend
me a dollar." .
The clerk did so and the guest
departed. He came back about 11
o'clock and, being in a hurry to
catch the train, rushed up to the
desk. He threw down four silver
dollars and the clerk gave him the
$5. It appeared all right. When
the guest had gone Walsh looked
over his cash and found himself $3
ahead. ' i
"Well," said Walsh, after he had
puzzled his head for a while to see
how it had happened, "that man
needs a bookkeeper. It was lucky
for me he didn't make a mistake
the other way." Kansas v City

J A Query from tho North
One otour Northern exchanges
in discussing the race question and
the lynchings .that have occurred
down South says that "there is a
suspicion at the North that the
Southern riegroes are often unjust
ly accused and that Southern mobs
display an almost utter indifference'
to the merits of evidence when
their anger is aroused," and adds:
"It is a remarkable fact that dur
ing the civil war, when almost
every able-bodied white man . was
away at the front, and the negroes
were left at home, an instance of
the outrage of a white woman by a
negro was hardly ever heard of.
Has the Southern negro degener
ated with freedom and taken on a
new bestiality?"
Not all Southern negroes, but
some-of them most certainly. The
old time Southern negro was well
raised and had in him the instincts
of a gentleman. Find any one of
the old issue today, certainly one
who was raised in a respectable
family and you will find, nine times
out of ten, a man who is upright
in his ways and who has the res
pect and confidence of the whites.
The old Southern negro had a re
gard bordering upon reverence for
his old mistress and young4 mis
tress and he would have sacrificed
his life in defending them from in
sult. It is the new negro who has
committed these terrible outrages
which has provoked lynchings in
the South. Richmond Times.
These are dangerous times for the

Gentlemen We have jused the "Keystone" Welder this season in
our garden, as well as in our corn and potato fields, and find that it is
the most satisfactory implement for cultivating these crops that we have
ever -used or ever seen used. The Weeder being adjustable, can be used
all through the season. It is Just the implement to use at the last cul
tivation to kill the last crop of weeds, level the ground and cover the
crimson clover seed, sown for a crop. or for pasturage. We will put the
Weeder on exhibition at our! Fair. Yours truly,

on 10 acres of corn, 16 acres of strawberries, 16 acres of red raspberries,
