Take a Walk Every Day If You Want to Live Lone and Be Well. There is no form of exercise more healthful than walking; none that Americans, especially Ameri can women, are more careful to avoid whenever possible. English and Herman women are fond of walking, many of them being able to walk ten miles at a time, and come in fresher than when they begun. Walking strengthens the action of the heart, nourishes all the vital organs and tissues, increases the circulation, and feeds the muscles, which are the first portions of the body to decay with approaching age. To be most beneficial, walking ought to be combined with deep breathing, for breathing exercises are in themselves splendid for quieting the nerves and refreshing the whole body. , Taken in conjunction with mus cular exercise, the blood is doubly freshened, and the various organs are completely strengthened. Take a walk every day if you want to live long and be well. Pleasantness will result as surely as the improvement in health, for walking brings not only physical blessings, but refreshment to one's soul. E. C. Cline. Ir. J. T. It.

COMPANIONSHIP. There's a time when the fires of passion Burn out in the years of strife; There are times when we like the fashion Of a wife as a friend through life. There's a time when there's something holy And sweet and noble and true In the way you are her companion. And she's a companion for you. Well, the roses of youth are splendid, And the yearning of lips for lips ; But there's dust where dreams have wended, And a teardrop sometimes slips; But there need not be sorrow or worry, Nor regret when a wile is a wife In the beautiful comrade spjrit That lasts to the end of life. The best of us tire and weary In the end of the things once sweet Vien we swung in the dances giddy With the tingle of youth in our feel; But the end is the old, old fashion Of twilight misty and gray, With a wife as aToved companion To the end of the long, long way. And, ah, what a beautiful beauty Is that confidence and trust, When two of the world together do down in the silvering dust, Friendly and happy and genile, Comrades of old, old dreams At the little window of memory Where the light of the future gleams ! If that's what the world calls marriage, Thank God for the gentle leaven Which makes on the earth such marriage As we look for alone in Heaven ! The r .arriage that outlives passion, And ardor of swift, swift youth, And stands entwined in eternal And gentle and unstained truth ! .lohn It.

The brave men and women who perished with the sinking Titanic went to their last resting place on the ocean's bed with "Nearer, My God, to Thee" on their lips. They were true martyrs, who gave their lives that others might be saved. What more impressive and what more pitiful spectacle can the im agination conceive, and what more heroic? "Nearer, My God, to Thee" was the funeral dirge chant ed as the giant took the linul plunge. The great ocean was Necked with foam, the drifting lifeboats were lost in the distant darkness. The lights on the Titanic burned to the last. The eyes of those who had been saved were directed to the trembling and shattered mass of steel. Their hearts were with those who in a few moments meet certain death. Then from the decks of the great ship came the song, like a sob "Nearer, My God, to Thee." It floated with impressive echoes over the restless water. There was a hush. The boats floated on silently. The sound of the song grew fainter. There was a sudden noise. The once powerful vessel rose in the air, then plunged into the ocean. It was a fitting requiem, it was a noble anthem, it was a beautiful death song. Nowhere in the world's history can be found detailed a tragedy of such pathos, nor can the mind of man imagine a scene more exquis ite in its impressive agony. Here were 1,595 human souls facing certain death, knowing that their lives were about to end, and their souls were preparing for that eternal flight, turning their eyes toward the dark heaven above and letting their hearts make a final ap peal for peace in a hymn so beau tiful, so sublime. It is finished. The story of the disaster has been told. Men and women in this great world are easy to forget. Soon the great tragedy of the Atlantic will become but a memory, but the song will live forever. What an opportunity there is for a master mind to paint this tragic picture, what a chance for the poet to pour out his soul in descriptive eloquence, but none are so reat that they can portray the pitiful pathos of the midnight scene, nor can any one, unless he stood on the decks of the sinking ship, real ize the infinite power there is in this wonderful hymn. It brought peace to those who felt the cold clutch of death. It les sened the pangs of parting. It paved the way for the final dissolu tion. "Nearer, My God, to Thee," and in a few brief seconds 1,595 agonized souls were gathered to the arms of their Maker. Mem phis Commercial Appeal.

The small town boy had been sent to a farmer uncle's to remain for two or three months, but at the end of the second week he showed up at home, much to the disap proval of his father. "Why, Willie, what have you come back here for?" the parent inquired in no pleasant tone. "I sent you to your uncle's for a long stay." "I know you did," Willie re plied; "but you see, it was this way: The first week they killed a sheep and we et that; the next week we killed a hog, and we et that; and yesterday the hired man died, and 1 thought it was about time to come home." Chicago Post. Always do your best, but never your best friend. The one particular brand of love that isn't blind is self-love.

V Ever notice that the wolf gener ally comes to the door disguised as a bill collector? Some men work hard trying accomplish useless things. The world owes every man privilege of earning his living. to the A man seldom knows who his friends are, but his friends are more considerate. The story is told of Bill Nye that when he went sightseeing up Lookout mountain the boy who was acting as guide told him thai from the summit where they w ere standing they could see four states. "Let's see 'em," said Bill. "Where are they ?" "Thai," said the buy, "is Ten nessee, thai yonder is GoniT.ii, that is Alabama, and thai is Not ih Carolina. " "No, yon don't," repliul Bill, shaking Ins Imi'.i i at ilit: yoinli. "You may slull' snnie folks with Dial, Nil mil fin I siiidiul yx ograpliy in school Tennessee is yellow, Alabama is green, dcorgia is blue and onli Carolina is red. I'm sure Nonh Carolina is red," he added, "for 1 helped paint it red myself last week Me and Bill Viseher." I remember very well the lime 1 crossed tin- bounJaiy of my native state of Illinois Indiana, and how surprised I to find no "line" at all; not even a fence; nothing but a muddy stream; to discover also that the ground was the same color. Since then I have learned that more things than geographical boundaries are purely imaginary. Brought up a Protestant, I was amazed to find, when still quite a lad, that Roman Catholics are just as human and kind a Methodists. Another shock came when it was revealed to me that one of the gen tlest, wisest .teachers I ever had was a Democrat: I had thought all Democrats chewed tobacco and carried guns. One by one I have seen the par titions of humanity's house fall. I have found that the people in ev ery class room are "just folks." I have lived in a family of Italian wage workers in Tivoli, I have sal at the mahogany table of an Italian prince, I have mingled with Ger man farmers at the Passing Fair, 1 have dined with English nobility and passed the night at the house of an English shopkeeper, 1 have; visited with the president of the United States, senators, mayors, and governors and have also sop ped my bread in the bacon gravy i at the woodchopper's family board '. in Sangamon county, and as far as I can see there is no difference; that is, none to speak of. A bright boy could adjust himself to any of these situations in a week or so. Social barriers are also imaginary geographical lines. We are learning, too, that all sciences shade into each other. Pasteur was a chemist and slid over accidentally into biology. Me'chnikoft' was a zoologist and became the discoverer of immunity front disease. Nobody knows where the vege table kingdom leaves off and ihc animal kingdom begins. Who can put his ringer on the line that runs between socialism and democracy ? What is the difference between the Democratic and the Republican party? A prize will be Riven lor any answer at all The fact is classifications of all kinds are merely menial "labor saving machinery." They are useful for purposes of discussion, just as Kentucky's difference from Tennessee is useful tor purposes of taxation. But we're all folks. We all love and hate, laugh and cry, eat and sleep. Girls and boys love about the same way in Teheran and Texas, at European courts and Iowa crossroads. Every mother loves to look at her baby, and every baby smiles back at its mother, and the good God is over us all. FREE ADVICE TO SICK WOMEN Thousands Have Been Helped By Common Sense Suggestions.
