C. g IT IS TO LAUGH. Laughter Better Than Medicine and Makes Life Longer. For every good hearty laugh we indulge in there is a day taken off our age. Why should we take life so seriously? Cannot we labor as well, or better accomplish as much and enjoy life as we go along, if we keep on the watch for every possible opportunity for a good, hearty, blood-stirring, pulse-tingling laugh? Let us try it for a year. Let us put away all those wrinkle-producing, skin-withering, blood-drying, heart-narrowing feel ings of envy, spite, jealousy and secret hatred those petty, penny grasping, soul-contorting, narrow minded ambitions and desires and make up our minds to live, enjoy living as long as we do live and to live as long as we can. Joy is the sunshine of the heart; cheerfulness and honest mirth bring forth the blossoms and unfold the leaves, while their fragrance sweetness all our lives and the lives of others. Let us not worry. Worry drains the system of its vitality and short ens our lives, Fun is better for a sickly child than medicine, has been said. Are we not children grown a little older and is not mirth the best of medicines? Let us laugh, then as we go along and enjoy every moment of time as it passes, keeping with us eterntl youth. Selected. FROM THE PENCIL'S POINT. A fable is an open faced lie w ith a moral attachment. Doctors may take life easy still manage to avoid arrest. and Most cable news is fresh, even ! after passing through salt water. V While there is life there is hope for everybody but the undertaker. V1 Regular dishonesty is easier to manage than irregular dishonesty. It's only w hen some men get tight that they turn themselves loose. If it is necessary to burn your bridges burn them in front of those on your trail. Justice is probably represented as a woman because it is something a man is always after. THE PENALTY. "There seems to be a penalty provided for everything but steal ing a man's daughter." "There's a penalty for thai, too." "I'd like to know what it is." "Hard labor for life." Is the World (lrowlng Better? Many things 0 to prove that it it. The way thousands are trying to help others is proof. Among them is lira. V. W. Gould, of Pittstield, N. H.

BEGINNING AGAIN. When sometimes your feet are weary, On the rugged hills of life The path stretches long and dreary With tri.il and labor rife, We pause on the toilsome journey Glancing backward in valley and glen And sigh for an infinite longing To return and begin again. Far behind is the dust of the morning In all it's freshness and light, And before are doubts and shadows And the chill and gloom of the night We remember the sunny places We passed so carelessly then And ask with a passionate longing To return and begin again. Ah, vain, indeed is the asking ! Life's duties press all of us on, And who dare shrink from the labor, Or sigh with the sunshine that's gone? And, it may be not far on before us Wail fairer places than these Life's paths may yet lead by still waters, Though we may not begin again. Forevermore upward and onward Be our paths on the hills of life, And soon will a radiant dawning Transfigure the toil and the strife, And our Father's hand will lead us Tenderly upward then; In the joy and peace of a fairer world He'll let us begin again. I. ti man Whiting. THE OLD WOODEN CRADLE. Good-bye to the cradle, the dear wooden cradle, The rude hand of progress has thrust it aside; No more to its motion, o'er sleep's fairy ocean, Our play-weary wayfarers peacefully glide. No more by the rhythm of slow moving rocker, Their sweet, dreamy fancies are fostered and fed. No more to low .singing the cradle goes swinging: The child of this era is put into bed. Good-bye to the cradle, the dear wooden cradle; It lent to the twilight a strange subtle charm; When bees left the clover, when playtime was over, How safe seemed its shelter from danger and harm. How soft seemed the pillow, how distant the ceiling, How weird were the voices that whispered around; What dreams would come flocking as rocking and rocking We floated away into slumber profound. Good-bye to the cradle, the old wooden cradle; The babe of today does not know it by night; When day leaves the border, with system and order, The child goes to bed and we put out the light. 1 bow to progression, and ask no concession; Tho strewn be her pathway with wrecks of the past, So off with the lumber, that sweet ark of slumber, The old wooden cradle, is ruthlessly cast. Flla Whei-lf.k Wilcox. SHE'D MAKE A DASH FOR IT. "Father," asked eight-year-old Alice, returning home from school, "are you good at punctuation ?" "Yes," replied the father. "Well, tell me, please, how would you punctuate 'The wind blew a $5 bill around the cor- , , ner. "Why, daughter, I would sim ply put a period at the end of the sentence." "1 wouldn't," said Alice mis chievously, "I would make a dash after the $5 bill." The littler the girl the bigger charge of dynamite she can be for some men. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.

An Oklahoma editor was much interested in a scientific note he encountered in an Eastern paper to the effect that if the earth were flattened the sea would be two miles deep all over the world The editor reprinted this note with the following comment : "If any man is caught flattening the earth, shoot him on the spot. There's a whole lot of us in this State who can't swim." For the man who likes flattery you can't pour out too big doses.

Newspaper Man Laments Training Is Not What It ' To Be." That Used (Chanty and ( loMreti i Mr. I). P. Mcliachern who edits one of the departments of the Red ; Springs Citizen made sonic sober and timely remarks recently upon j the difference in the training of ; girls of today and those of a generation or so ago. He referred to the usefulness and help lessness (jf the average girl in our towns as contrasted with the vigor and domestic intelligence of those I of the earlier period. His obser vations are too true to be pleasant. Many a mother, well versed in the important J n tics of the household, is failing to impart to her daugh ters the knowledge that has been so large a factor in the comfort and happiness of ihe family, and when the girl is separated from her mother aud is obliged to do her mother's part in the world's work, she will find herself overwhelmed and unready. In our Southern society life it is more important than ever before that our girls should be trained housekeepers for domestic service is constantly becoming harder to control and more unsatisfactory and inefficient. Besides, girls, like boys, growing up in idleness and living aimless lives cannot measure up to what they would have been with better training. Everybody ought to have definite systematic work to do. It is exactly as essential for a girl as it is for a boy. To dress, and dawdle, and yawn, and parade the streets without a thought or care of how things are going at home is the poorest and emptiest lite in the world, and the worst possible preparation for the coming time when these same girls must buckle down to honest work. For the most of us are not able, even if we are inclined, to dream the hours away. We will wake up some time, somewhere, to the realities around us and it is a pitiful thing to reach this period unprepared. Mothers ought to remember these things, and not allow them selves to become the slaves of their children in order that they may have a "good time." CHICKEN SOUP THREE RULES. It w as at a Girls' Summer School, years agu, when one of the girls rose and said to Alice Freeman Palmer, ho who had been talk ing to them : "Mis. Palmer, you are always so cheerful and happy, will you tell us, pleae, how ve can be hap py?" "I will, dear," said this saint of 1 her sex. "I w ill give you three simple rules: j "The first i-, this : Commit t something to memory every day, ' something good, it needn't be 1 much; three or four words will do, just a pretty bit of a poem, or a J Bible verse. 1 he second rule is : Look for something pretty every day; and don't skip a day, or it won't work." "My third rule is now mind, don't skip a day: Do something for somebody every day! That is all there is to it, dear." It's Equal Don't Exist.

Shc'p- If I were painting a pii-lure of .Jesus I would nut paint Him as a kintf with a crown of kM uml a retiimo and life-uard, 1 wouldn't do 1 hat. That does not appeal lo iiie, Christ appeals to me vvln-ii 1 1 is anus are hare and liiuwne.l with the hum; when 1 1 is head is naked, open to li(;ht : w lien His tunie hut toiisa' the shoulder; when His feet are touelied with the Inini inn' soil, and in II is rioht hand a shepherd's crunk and on His left shoulder one lost sheep, When Christ conies so, lie touches every liber in my per sonality that hath music in it. I answer to him ha the pipe an swers to the winds. There he stands, liruiizeil , liuiliiticeiit in miht , c r o w n e d with love, sweet with comfort, infinite with tenderness. Then that Christ makes my heart ache, and if He wanted to He could with the lift, of His hand and a look of His eye make my heart break. And 1 would have Him wear that shepherd's crook for a scepter. When a man is at work, that is a sign a man is kingly. When his hands are dirty with the soil and his face is sweaty with the sunlight and the toil, then the man stands up regal. And what I would have you consider is that this Christ shepherd, this man with hell) in his loft arm, this man with help in his brawny right hand, this man with the spring time wonder of life in His eyes, this man with summer wild smells at His heart, this man hath regality. He is what a man ought to he. And when we t i nil Christ so vestured and 1 so seen and so engaged, then a j Hercules at his task, we know linn not; ;m Atlas lioliling up his sky we do not see. This man that comes to put His arm through the shield of the world and carry the earth into heav en, that is the man that revives our souls and lil ts us to highest praise. And beside Him they who thought themselves great lave found thevare very little. "The Beautiful Shepherd. "And oil the llethleheiu hills and out over the rocks and down in all the dungeons of the deep bil lows of yellow canyons aud out on ( ialilee's shore and across the green eart h, this Christ, the Beautiful Shepherd, is coining to help the world.
