(Established 1B48.) 1L to 163 Bank it., Norfolk V.' mv 1 lr. 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."

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!

"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." THIS MERCENARY AUK.

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. 'In 1P?

I) (IN SUNDAY THIS IN CI 1IC ( ,( 1. There is a drug store i" Chica go that is being successfully eon ducted by a man who is guided in all things by the question. "Whul would Jesus do?" in other words, on the principles set forth by the 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.
