l:or Weal or Woe, They Have
Joined Hands, mid to the Whole
Outside World They Present a
United Front.
() the union of husband mid
wife, which is the most intimate
and eotitideinial relationship on
earih, there must he something
more ilum superficial admirainm,
the one for the oilier. These two
have pledged to one another a life
long consecration. Their interest
: ore to be in common. Nothing
can affect one without all'eeting
the other. For weal or woe, they
have joined hand, and to the whole 1
outside world they present a uni
ted front. ;
And yet if testimony should be ;
taken, it would be found that many
! married people have not been per-
fecily happy during the years of
wedlock. There has been disap-.
pointmeut. The little rift has suf
fered to open the way for estrange-
tnent.
"We decided," said a man whose
. long life has been singuarly tran
! quil and satisfactory "we decided,
iniy wife and I, when we were;
j married, that we should never let ;
: the sun go down on any lack of
peace between us. W'e would ask i
one another's pardon if necessary,
but we would never quarrel. One
- or the other should always give
up a point on which both could
not agree, and whatever else came
to us, we resolved to have no dis
i cord.
INCONVERTIBLE EiVIDHNCH.
A Christian Scientist, while walk
ing, encountered a small boy, who
; was sitting under an apple tree cry
ing bitterly and doubled up with
: pain.
"My little man," said the Scien
tist, "What is the matter? Has
matter gained the ascendency ever
mind w ith you ?"
"No." moaned the boy. "1 ate
some green apples, and, oh, how I
' ache."
"You don't ache," asserted the
follower of Mrs. F'ddy, "you only
think so."
The boy looked up in astonish
ment at such a statement, and as
he lapsed into another spasm of
pain, said: "Thai's all right, you
may ihink so, hut I've got inside
information."

A RAINY
O, there comes a lonesome feelin' when you listen to the sound
Of the raindrops drippin' from the housetop to the ground,
b'aradown the windin' valley an' across the rollin plain,
Where the sad trees sigh an' mutter in the angry wind an' rain,
We can hear so many voices echoes of departed years---An'
we listen sadly listen- till our eyes grow dim w ith tears.
O, there's somethin' sorter solemn in the sound of rain an' sleet,
b'allin' softly on the shingles, makin' music low an' sweet.
Him, forgotten necromancers years of pleasure an' of pain
Come a-stealin' thro' the darkness on the angry wind and rain,
An' we dream of things eternal things divine that are to be
When the day shall close to twilight -when Life's rivers hnd the sea.
O, we feel so very little when the great trees wave and sigh,
In their solemn shrouds of mist an' rain like spirits hov'rin' nigh,
An' the raindrops softly murmur to the dead leaves as they fall,
Soundin' like retreatin' footsteps in some dim, deserted hall,
An' the bitter grief and heartache all Life's troubles an' its pain,
Go a-stealing thro' the darkness with the echoes of the rain!
We can seem to hear the whisper of the souls that lie at rest
In the quiet, gloomy churchyard with the rain upon their breast.
An' we seem to feel their presence - hear their footsteps in the door,
Just exactly as we used to in the days that are no more;
An' we dream of things eternal of the faces we shall know
When we see them in the evening when the rivers seaward flow.
A LITTLE FELLOW IN BREECHES,
A dear little fellow in breeches, all. isn't he happy and grand.
Holding his head with the highest that ever went forth in the land;
Seeing the gleam and the glamor, the w underfill growth of the plan
That starts him in little knee breeches tow ard the full height of a man !
A dear little fellow in breeches, iuM full to the brim with delight,
Won't come any more lo be .snoogleJ to resi in the rocker at night;
Smiling and proud and contented, he measures his height in the sun,
And dreams of the days of far glory when manhood's full statue is won!
A dear little fellow in breeches - a dear little fellow who plays
In babyhood down in the shadows of dear little babyhood days;
A deaiiittle fellow in breeches, all rosy with gladness and gleam,
But, oh, lor an armful of baby once more in the babyhood dream!

a witness in a case of street rob
bery. I le had seen a sneak
thief
make oil' with a girl's poeketbook
and he consented to appear as a
witness for the girl.
"And at what limit, sir, did this
happen?" asked the lawyer.
"I think " began Sir Henry,
when the lawyer iniemipicJ him
with:
"lt isn't what you think, sir;
it's what you know is what we
want!"
"Don't you want to know what
I think?" mildly asked the actor.
"I do not!" the lawyer snapped
out.
"Well, then," said Sir Henry,
"I might as well leave the witness
box. I can't talk without think
ing. I'm not a lawyer."

PLEASING THINGS.
Pass It Around -"Let l!s Have a
Good Love."
There is something pleasing and
touchingly tender in the sight of a
big, strong man patiently and lov
ingly bending over, and lending
his ear to the lisping of a little
child. It is a silent heart-sermon
in itself.
"Let us have a good love," s;iid
a little three year-old as she clasped
her chubby arms about her fath
er's neck when lie came home
after the days work was done. .
That man, think you, goes home '
with a slow step at eventide as ,
that bright and cherry little face
j peeps from the window and watch- 5
es for his coming. j
"Let us have a good love!"
These words, earnestly enacted
; would also cheer many a weary
wife and care worn husband.
Something to go home to! That
is the joy of life. Something there
, to grieve if you are not true to
! yourself. Somebody there to be
; sorry if you are in trouble or are j
sick. Somebody there to smile at
your coming, and with fingers like
sunbeams, gilding and brighten
ing whatever they touch; and all
for you.
W e Have noticed, at times, men ,
carry home flowers, sweetmeats, i
truit anu nick-nacks. I his is a
little intention to wife. Sentimen
tal you call it 'tis woman's whole
existence. How happy these little
attentions will make her, coupled
with loving words. Something to
go home to! God bless the hus
band who thus remembers and
brighten the life of his wife. The
world needs more of this brighten
ing process. Durham Sun.

Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, of To
peka, Kan., in his book "In His
Steps; or, What Would Jesus
Do?" The owner is Oliver J.
Freeman, and the store is at 127
Sheffield avenue. At first he
found the road rough, but to-day
he has passed the experimental
stage and has a paying business.
Cigars and tobacco cannot he
purchased in Mr. Freeman's store
al any price. They are not in the
stock. Nothing can be purchased
i on the Sabbath except prescrip-
tions that are absolutely necessary.
1 Not even a cough drop or a stick
; of gum is sold on the Sabbath and
I telephone service is not permitted
on ,lat Jay, except t0 c;1n
physi-
cjans jn urgent cases.
In each of the display windows
a sign is strung each Sunday which
reads : "Remember the Sabbath
Day to Keep it Holy., Nothing
but necessary articles sold on Sun
day. " And that rule is rigidly en
forced by Mr. Freeman.
Mr. Freeman has followed this
principle for years and he is em
phatic in the declaration that it
pays. Aitnougn ins store is almost 1
in the extreme northern part of !
the city, he enioys a prosperous,
business.
I,. - . , u
His prices at e probably higher
than ihose of any of fie other out
lying drug stores, but his receipts
equal those of
some of the drug
stores in the down-town districts.
i Ten clerks are kept busy week
days. j
"Yes, the application of Chris
tian ideas to one's business is a 1
good thing," said Mr. Freeman.
"Christianity is a good thing at all
times and in all places, business
included, lt is a good thing for
naiure, and it is a good thing for
the citizens.
"1 let the Bible govern my busi-
l ness, my family and all my affairs,
; and 1 assure you it governs very
ducted.
"My store is closed on the Sab-
bath to all business except the fill
ing of absolutely necessary and ur-'.
gent prescriptions. I do not sell
tobacco in any forms.
"1 must confess that I found it
difficult to bring my ideas into
' practical use at first. 1 have lost
' many customers because 1 have
steadily refused to be swayed.
; "However, the gam over the
losses was such that the business
slowly grew, until ten clerks are
: kept busy. Some customers in-,
I sisted on being served with cigars
and left angrily on leai ning that I
kept no tobacco on sale. Others
insisted on buying unnecessary
articles on the Sabbath, but I stuck
: steadily to my resolutions.
"I came to Chicago in 1S91 pen
niless, and almost friendless. 1
was married and my brother lent
me $2,00", and with that capital 1
started in business where I am now
; located. My business has been
confined to this particular locality
these years. Almost all my pat
ronage conies from regular cus
tomers, w lii ufvv. Midi nie in my
views. I am a member of the
i Methodist Church."
