Sunn limes it is much easier to take hold

known to lake hold of an eleeliie wiie
and not he uble lo let il to.
We have heard of the story of Iire'r
Kabbitt and the Tar liaby; lhat as it
case of not being sble lo let go.
Oeeiisioually men take up It fellow
with whom llicy have to wpslle to g' i

when they go tliey always have lo lent
something.

let go but that is not always true.
We knew a boy once who shot a bav. k
anil crippled it. He picked it up bt
very soon began to yell as if somelliit p
was hurting him; his brother said "WI y
don't you let it go?" Tbo answer can,e
promptly, "Confound it, ain't I trying to
lot it go?"
Thero U the old story of the Irishman
who caught the Tartar; that was a case
of inability to let go.
The world is full of examples of the
exlrcmo difficulty of Idling go, and the
end js not.

THE ORIGIN OF MAN;
Ancient Beliefs lliat Trees Were
tie Ancestors of the Hu
man Race.
The descent of the human race from
some particular species of tree is one of
the oldest myths that can be found ri;n
uitig through the folk stories of every
nation. In ttgil we nuu rcicrence to
the race of "men who took their birth
from trunk of trees," and among some of
the early commentators on lhat statement
we even Dnd speculations as to the par
ticular species of treo from which the
race sprung. The very earliest Egyptians
as well as those who lived uuder later
dynasties had a legend of tbo "tree of
life," and many ol the leading iuvesliga-
tor, both ancient and modern, have
expressed the opinion that from Egjpt
catno the Biblical story of the 'tree of
knowledge of good and evil," which
graced llie origitial garden made by tho
All Wise for cur first parents.
I'rofessor Thistelton (see bis "Folk
Lore of Plants") believes that the Scrip
tural narritive citid is a survival of tbo
ef in the "tree descent of man," and
that tho abiding failh of mankind in the
tradition again crops out in Hovelation,
wheru llie "tree of life" plays as impor
tant a part as that of the famous trie
mentioned in the first book ol the lliblo.
Tbo unlives of Madagascar have a Ir.nli
lion which is believed and petpelualed
among thf lu lo iheefl'ect that the fir.-l
man was bern alive Irotti a tree, and lliut
be in mediately act about making biui
scTa "helpmeet," fashioning her from a
knotted limb by the aid ol a nm'i
carving knife.
Marsden's "History of Sumatra" tells
us that the people of the l'hillipiue is
lands also have the tre I de.-cont legend
among them, and King, in his "Life
Amoni: the liiisbmen of Australia,
says that the people there habitually live
among the trees, Dccause "inoy are
taught from infancy that their ancestors
were trees endowed with tho faculty ol
speaking and moving about from place to
place." St. Louis Republic

Heavenly Father, lead me higher,
Fiaee toy feet on solid ground .
Willi thy strength, () make me stronger,
L.iose the chains by which I'm bound.
I Muck the thorns Ironi uut my pathway,
Lay my weaiy bead lo rest :
Keep thine arms about me always,
Cradled ou thy loving breast.
When the shadows gather round mo
And the darkness dense and deep,
Send one ray of light upon me,
Mine to have and mine to keep,
Let this light e'er guide my footsteps
Free from every evil snare;
(iuiile me through life's storms and hard
ships, Into paths both sweet and fair.
Let the songs that dwell within me
King in melody so sweet,
Thus lu ever soothe and cheer me.
Though the sun aud Bhadows meet,
Lead my thoughts to gums immortal,
Host my tect on Ilune own stair;
Till I reach the golden portal.
Heavenly ralher, hear my prayer.

A DESPERATE REMEDY PROPOSED WHEN
THE COI ItTSIlll' 11EI1AN TO WANE.
"Tie Smallest and Qnerest
Specimen of Prohibition on
Record," Says a Yonni
Lafly of a Riclionfl
Professor's Order.
"Well," said a young lady ol observa
tion to a New York Sun reporter, "that
professor down in Itielitnond who thinks
he is going to slop the boys from looking
at the girls of his college by force of mu
nicipal ordinance may be very clever as a
schoolmaster, but so far as human nature
goes he doesn't know as much as tho
youngest of his students that is, if
they're all girls. Nut look at the girls,
iudced ! Why he might just as well try
to grow beans by algebra. You sec, the
schoolmaster has oveiloeked the great
fact that ibis city law is aimed at the
girls as much as at the boys, for if the
boys can't look the girls can't be 1, oked
at, and that busts up the whole economy
ol' nature. You can write it down for
me, please, that its the smallest, queerest
specimen of prohibition on record, and it
has got no more chance of succeeding
than I have of being elected captain of
the Salvation Army.
"Why, wo girls consider ourselves the
shop windows of the universe, and we
wouldn't exist if we weren't looked at.
It's bred in us. The she baby squalls if
she ain't looked at every hour. There
doesn't exist the school girl, big or little,
that doesn't flink her braid or fuss with
her skirt when little Tommy conies whist
ling out of the next door basement gate
way; or that doesn't thiuk it a lost day if
there isn't au awkward squad of grinning,
luavy treaded school beys keeping abreast
with her on the opposite side-walk. And
it goes right on. Life's a failure if we
young womeu don't get looked at or
looked after, and if you meet with inj
who complain of ibis attentiuu just put it
up lhat that's only another way of carry
ing the lows to Mary her particular
method of showing the rest of u.-: that
she's ill it.
"You uiiJersianil, young man, that
whin I say 'loektd at' I don't mean
leered at. That's a different lliing en
tire1)'. I me in what we young ones used
lu call 'getting noticed,' tj bu approving

tracting a mild and plea-ant attention,
and evenly to be discreetly followed by a
pair of masculine ejes Now, as Jack
says, that's right, and I've no patience
with those who think that to deny is to
bj strong, and that a confession of fact,
even if il is a little damaging, imple.s
weakness.
"And why should we uot like to be
looked at, pray ? I say that there is no
sight so good for mcus eyes as lhat of the
girls. We're nature's best piece of work,
and don't you forget it; the most attrac
tive half of the human family, und we
know it. We've got to be looked at,
and that llichmond sehoomastcr bad
better quit contributing to the curiosities
of Virginia's town laws and read the
Bible a little more. He'll find he's kick
ing against the primal and trying to stop
the eternal, for as long as lilo lasts the
sons of men will look at the daughters of
women. And even if you didn't want to
look, that would not mend matters, for
we'd make you."
AltOUT l'OMIMOII.
He was plunged into the vortex of
perplexity, and tho girl was standing
resolutely upon tho brink, gazing down
at him.
Ho looked up at her helplessly.
"And you obje t lo my calling so fro-
piently?" he said.
"Yes" she nodded.
"And I am not to he your escort on
all occasions, as heretofore?"
"No."
"Nor call you by youi first name?"
"No."
"Nor think of you any longer as my
sweetheart?"
"No."
He gar. d upon her, as one standing
upon llie shore gazes upon a receding
shin.
Well, he groaned, "tlio end ol our
romance has come, and wo must get
married.
The light that shone in her face
gleamed in triumph.

She can dance a wait! divinely,
And can entertain you finely.
Can she cook?
She can write a poem aesthetic,
And recite it so pathetic,
That you weep.
To the woman suffrage question
She has given deep reflection.
Can she sweep ?

To become a maiden clever,
