"Nation's y'f
Garden '

Their temperament is such that
very small matters cause them to
lose heart, and they at once fall
down into the slough of despair.
Such ones are all the while longing
for encouraging words from oth
ers. Hut if one will reflect a mo
ment and consider the fact that God
has promised to be with those who
abidingly trust in Him, they may
see that there is enough encour
agement in this one thing. All
through Bible history God gave
assurance 10 believing ones that
He would surely be with them.
This one pledge has in it an abun
dance of large meaning. What
more could the saints of old ask
than such a pledge and promise?
The direct presence of the allwise
and almighty God, giving ample
support to the believers in all con
ditions and all circumstances, was
encouragement enough, it is so
now. Why should any Christian
indulge in fears and undue anxi
eties? Why need one regard his
good work as a failure, while God
keeps close companionship with
him, supplying him with necessary
wisdom, and putting His own pow
er at that at one's disposal ? Why
should one bemoan the lack of hu
man encouragement, when he has
the greatest encouragement in the
great God? What matters it if we
do not see considerable results
from our efforts to do good? It is
an evil habit to be always looking
for fruits of our labors, being dis
couraged if we do not see any, or
encouraged if we do see plenty of
them. We should stand on a much
higher plane, and gel all encour
agement from the simple and great
truth that God is with us, if we are
truly His servants. He is with us
as really when our work seems to
be fruitless, as when it appears to
be a large success.

The cook of a well known
Seattle family left, and no oth
er could be obtained, so the lady
of the house did the cooking
herself, with such satisfactory
results that, after a month, her
husband gave her a beautiful
set of sables as a token of his
appreciation of the good din
ners he had enjoyed.
Of course the neighbors 60on
heard of this, and when the
cook left in another equally well
known family the lady of that
house said to her husband:
"Well, the conk has gone, and
I'm not going to bother to get
another. I'm going to do the
cooking myself, deary. You

FLOWERS FOR THE LIVING.
I have noticed when a fellow dies, no matter what he's been,
A saintly chap, or one whose lite was darkly steeped in sin,
His friends forget the bitter words they spoke but yesierday,
And now they find a multitude of pretty things to say.
I fancy when 1 go to rest some one will bring to light
Some kindly word or goodly act, long buried out of sight,
But, if it is all the same to you, just give to me instead
The bouquets while I'm living, and the knocking whem I'm dead.
Don't save your kisses to imprint upon my marble brow,
While countless maledictions are hurled upon me now;
Try just one kindly word to me, while I mourn here alone,
And don't save all your eulogy to carve upon a stone.
It may be nice to have these things, have folks 10 talk so,
To have the flowers come in loads, from relatives you know;
It may be nice to have these things, for those you leave behind,
But just as far as I am concerned, I really do not mind.
UNCLE HIRAM ON GITV LIFE.
Yes, it's lively in the city, where they've got their 'lectric lights,
And the people soon have wrinkles from their siayin' out o' nighis; i
They've got shows and things to keep 'em from a-getiing lonesome there, !
And they look all-fired stylish in the costly clo's they wear; 1
But 1 guess they have their troubles ;ust the same as me and you,
And I reckon that they're often ruther worse'n ours, too.
We've got wood piled in the woodshed that'll last a year er so,
And there's more out where thai come from and more saplin's still to
grow;
We ain't worried over coal strikes, let the cold winds blow away,
We can carry in the billets and not have a cent to pay;
While they're shiverin' up yonder where they've got so much to see,
We can heat up for the babies that the Lord sent you and me.
There is always somethin' doing to make city people sad;
If it ain't a sausage famine, why you'll hear the water's bad;
When the strikers stop the street cars then the mischief is to pay,
And the people have to foot it, gettin' clubbed along the way;
And the fever epidemics and the smallpox every year
Keep the city people stewin' and I'm glad to live out here.
Oh, it's quiet in the couniry and there's few uncommon sights,
And God's moon and stars up yonder have to do fer 'lectric lights;
But with 'taters in the cellar and with wood piled in the shed,
When there's hay stacked in the hay mows for the stock that must be
fed,
They can have their noisy city, with the sights up there to see,
And the kind old quiet country will be good enough for me.
A lady who occasionally used
the elevator in a building devoted
to business offices noticed that the
walls of the compartment were
decorated with pictures. One day
when she chanced to be the only
passenger, she spoke of ibem to
the elevator boy.
"You like pictures, don't you?
"Yes. You see 1 have to siay
here so much of the time thai I
like 10 have some lo look at," he
explained.
He was not complaining of his
place it was the best he could have
for the time he had simply sought
a way to lessen its monotony and
give himself something pleasant to
look at and think about. His car
must move up and down all
day with onlv the outlook of
dark spaces and bare walls, but
there was no reason why his eyes
should not rest upon pictured
mountains and ships at sea, or
beautiful views of forest and lake.
There is no need for a soul to be
shut in that wills to be free. Our
place may seem to be a narrow
place, our daily work monotonous
but it is always possible to hang a
beautiful picture of imagination and
memory, to have open v.iue
windows over the earth and toward
the sky.
MY AFFINITY.

allshe may be up on Mars. It
may be she has stopped to call
at sundry other stars. 1 don't
know if she's dark or fair, a
blonde or deep brunette. The
color of her eyes and hair I've
not discovered yet.
She may be fat, she may be
lean, for aught I chance to
know. Her temper may be as
serene as the undriven snmv,
or it may he as sect lung hot as
pepper of Cayenne these lil'.le
points as yet are not at ill
within my ken.
She may be tall, she may be
short tho truth 1 can't dis
close. It may he she's sinip'e
sort with freckles mi her nose,
or maybe she's one of those
girls who have expensive tastes
who wear some sixt 'It-veu
curls and $'.i0 waists.
The fact is. I've not met her
yet, this fair twin soul of mine:
and though sometimes 1 feel re
gret, at others I opine, consid
ering the flabby state I'm iu fi
nancially, it's just i's well for
my soulmate and better far fo

WHAT HE GOT OUT OF IT.
He never took a dav of rest:
He couldn't afford it.
He never had his trousers press
ed ;
He couldn't afford it.
He never went away care free
To visit distant lads, to see
How fair a place this world
might be;
He couldn't afford it.
He never went to see a iilav:
He couldn't afford it.
His love for art he put away;
He couldn't afford it.
He died and left his heirs a lot,
But no tall shaft proclaims the
spot
In which he lies. His children
thought
They couldn't afford it.

YOUR OWN TROUBLES.
Ono of the great lessons of
life is to learn to consume our
own smoke that is not to in
flict on outsiders our personal
sorrows and petty morbidness,
not to keep thinking of our
selves as exceptional cases.
Other people have troubles as
well as ourselves.
