WATCH THE TONGUE.
No One But You Can Take Care
of that Tongue.
It is your tongue it belongs j
to you, and it is the only one
for which you arc responsible.
Your neighbors' tongues may
need cure also, but that is their
business; this is yours. See
that it is properly attended to.
Watch that tongue.
It needs watching. It "is an
unruly evil" watch it. It "is
a fire" watch it. It is a helm.
which guides the vessel; let the
helmsman keep wide awake.
It cun bless or it can curse; it
cun poison or heal; it can pierce
hearts and blight hopes; it can
sow discoid and separate chief
friends. Watch that tongue!
No one but you can take care
of that tongue. Von are its
only ruler. Your neighbors
may hate it, or fear it, or wish
that they could bridle it, but
they cannot do it; you have the
power, watch that tongue.
That tongue has already got
you into trouble; it may do it
again. It is "set on fire of
hell." It burns up peace, bless
ing, reputation and hope. It
causes sad days, weary nights,
tearful eyes, and heavy hearts.
"If a man will love life and
see good days, let him refrain
his tongue from evil, and his
lips that he speak no guile."
Watch that tongue !
It is the "glory"' of man. It
distinguishes him from brutes.
It was bought with blood, by
the Son of God. He claims it
as His, It should speak His
praise; misemployed, it may de
grade yourself and those around
you. You are charged to attend
to it. Watch that tongue !
The Lord watches that tongue.
"There is not a word in my
tongue, but lo, 0 Lord, thou
knowe8t it altogether." For
every idle word we must give
account in the day of judg
ment. What will be the record
of that tongue then ? Watch
that tongue!
That tongue shall sing Qod's
praises for ever in glory, or
beg for a cooling drop of water
in the devouring flames: watch
that tongue! Methodist Prot
estant. WHAT HE DISLIKED.

FOT WOULD YOUTAKE FOR ME.
She was ready for sleep, and she lay on my arm,
In her liitle, frilled cap so fine,
With her golden hair falling out at ihe edge
Like a circle of noon sunshine;
And I hum'd the old tune of "Banbury cross"
And "three men who put out to sea,"
When she sleepily said, as she closed her eyes,
"Papa, fot would you take for me ?"
So I rocked my baby, and rocked away;
She was sleepy and weary with play,
But I held her warm in my love-strong arms,
And 1 rocked her and rocked away,
And I humm'd and humm'd and humm'd away,
How much, oh! how much would it be?
When she sleepily said, as she closed her eyes,
"Papa, fot would you take for me?"
And I answered "A dollar," dear liitle heart,
And she slept, baby, weary with play,
But I held her warm in my love-strong arms,
And I rocked her and rocked away;
Oh, the dollar meant all the world to me,
The land, and the sea, and the sky,
The lowest depths of the lowest place,
The highest of all that's high.
All their cities, with streets and palaces,
With their pictures and stores of art,
1 would not take for one low, soft throb
Of my little one's loving heart;
Nor all the gold that was ever found
In the busy, wealth-finding past,
Would 1 take for one smile of my darling's face,
Did 1 know it must be the last.
So I rocked my baby, and rocked away.
And I felt such a sweet content,
For the words of the song express'd more to me
Than they ever before had meant;
And the night crept on, and 1 slept and dream'd
Of things far too gladsome to be,
And I wakened with lips saying close to my ear,
"Papa, fot would you take for me?"
THE BEYOND.
Dear Lord, what lies beyond,
Beyond these mountains rising grand and tall?
Is it some vast, illimitable expanse, and is that all,
Or is it some fair land, the land of song of which the poets sing,
Some island, beautiful, whereon are found all fair and lovely things?
We know what lies this side,
Broad fields and arid plains and little hills,
Rugged, perchance, but crowned with healthful grains;
Deserts and dreary wastes, and low green valleys open on our sight,
While over all the solemn, silent stars keep watch in the still night.
But what doth lie beyond?
Is it some garden, rich in fruit and flower,
Where blossoms, honey-iaden, distill their fragrance hour by hour?
And do they never fade,
Nor are they chilled by bitter winds that blow
Down the steep heights upon the farther side,
Nor touched by frost or snow?
Oh, what doth lie beyond?
Who, who can tell?
Is it some fair green shore
O'er which the waves of a transparent sea break ever more ?
Hath no one e'er beheld?
Is it so far beyond our mortal ken?
Have none of all that crossed those purple hills
Ever returned again?
Ah, soon mine eyes shall see
Beyond those hills
Beyond the gloom and gold
And that strange land so wrapped in mystery
I shall behold!
Then shall the morning break,
The happy morning,
Break with song and sun,
And doubt and mist shall flee away
And night shall be forever done.

FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTORIA
BOYS ARE WATCHED.
In livery Bank, Store and Office
There Will Soon Be a Place for
a Boy to Fill.
When we see the boys on the
streets and public places we of
ten wonder if they know the
business men are watching
them. In every bank, store
and oltice then- will soon be a
place for a boy to fill. Those
who have the management of
affairs of business will select
one of the boys; they will not
select him fur ability to swear,
smoke cigarettes or tap a beer
keg. And the social swell who
is daft about little social func
tions and is happy in the con
ceit that he is "just the arti
cle" the young ladies find indis
pensible on all occasions, is also
given the glassy stare quite as
often as the boer guzzler or ci
garette smoker. Businessmen
may have a few loose habits
themselves, but they are look
ing for boys who are as near
gentlemen in every sense of the
word as they can find, and they
are able to give give the char
acter of every boy in the city.
They are not looking for row
dies. When a boy applies
for one of those places and
is refused, they may not tell
him the reason they do
not want him, but the boy may
depend upon it that he has been
rated according to his behav
ior. Boys cannot afford to
adopt the habits and conversa
tions of the loafers and rowdies
if they want to be called to re
sponsible positions.
HEARD THE CALL OF
THE WILD.
Senator Earl Chamberlain, of!
Oregon, smiled a few nights ago j
when the topic being talked turned j
to vacation. He explained that he J
was reminded of a recent conver
sation in a popular cafe. :
It was during the lunch!
hour the senator said, and four j
genial business men were sitting ;
at a table. Outside the air was 1
soft and balmy, and everything in
nature was a sweet allurement to '.
buy a railroad ticket and beat ii for
the woods.
"It is my system," remarked j
one of the party reflectively, glar.-1
cing through an open window, i
"There's nothing so appealing as i
ihe call of the wild."
"It may strike you that way, old
fellow," responded another, with
a faint smile, "but right here I beg
the privilege of casting a dissent
ing vote."
"You don't know what you are
talking about, Jim," emphatically
declared the first. "Did you ever
hear the call of the wild ?"
"Yes," replied Jim, with some
thing akin to a sigh, "from the
head of the stairs the other night,
when I didn't get home till two
o'clock in the morning." Phila
delphia Telegraph.
HEREAFTER.
The generation of man is like
tho leaves of the trees green
in youth; now withering on the
ground. And thus the genera
tion of the race decays; so fol
low these who have passed
away. Then bear in mind our
steps of time, and let not our
angry passions arise against
our fellow persons. Let not
our tongues repeat one word
that toothers will cause a frown
or sadness. But ever live a
sunshine to all whether friends
or foes. For soon life's storms
will all be still, and all life's
noise into calm will pass; then
rest and quietness will come at
last. What matters then which
it be, love or bate. Calm hands
are folded over quiet breasts.
Our weary heads will be pillow
ed in sweet rest. Our deathless
souls in their words shall live.
Our life is but the passing pic
ture of a shadowed dream.
Then paint the picture of joy
and happiness and not as the
world would have it, sorrow
and in happiness.

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble
Many children at an early age
becuu c constipated, and frequently
serious con.-scitucnces result. Not
ueiiiK" able to realize his own con
dition, a child's boweln should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when nece.ary.
lir Miles' Laxative Tablrts are
especially well adapted to women
and children. The Sisters of
I'liriMian ( haiity, 531 Charlo St.,
l.uciiic. Pa, who attend many
case, of Milviie-s say of them:
"S.mie time au nu began uxlut; Dr.

The form and flavor of any medi
cine ii very important, no matter
who is 10 Use 0. The Ulc and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know 1mw hard it is to give
flic average child "medicine," even
thoiiKh the taste it partially dis
guised. In using Dr Mile I am
ative Tablets, however, this ti.i't
rtilty is overcome. The sli:tpe of
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like taste at ohm appeal to
any child, with the reault that they
are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate flavor and
absence of other tnste, niakc Dr.
Miles' Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children. 1
