Mr, Tiiniility Not Guilty ot De

Fear of Libel Suit.
Mr. Timidity once had the mis
fortune to figure as a defendant in
a libel action, ami since ihen he
has been remarkably cautious with
his pen. Some little time ago he
was obliged to dismiss his servant,
and subsequently he lady who
thought of engaging the domestic

acter. Now, Mr. T. niighi have said a
good many things, but he remem
bered that libel suit. week or so
later a lady called upon him in any
thing but an amiable temper.
"I've called for an explanation,
Mr. Timidity," she began. "I
engaged a girl solely on your re
commendation, only to find she's
worthless. You sail that, like
other girls, she had h:r faults"
"She has, madam!"
"I'm aware of it. But this is
also an extract from jour letter :
'In one or two departnents she ex
cels.' What do you m:an by that,
may I ask ?"
"Well, madam, she eats well "
"Good gracious! I slould think
she does !"

THE WOMANLY WOMAN, i WRONG TO SHIRK FROM PAIN.
Loud Talk and Slang Words
Not The Ladylike Girl.
Are
Eminent English Divine Points
Out How lis Action is for the
Benefit of All Mankind.
ISpraii
There ia nothing more truly
lovable than the woman who is
genuinely womanly. There is
a ehann in her femininity that
no acquired irtaee can lend.
More especially in this ajje is a
genuinely womanly woman ad
mired, for girls seem to have a
desire to be so manlv. so loud,
not only in mannerism, but in
talt and dress, many choosing i
the sport of men in preference
to tho pastimes of women. The
majority of men, I think, really
prefer tho quiet ladylike girl
with a soft, sweet voice, an af
fectionate disposition, and the
girl who knows how to bo a
little lady, not only in her man
ners but talk.
Loud talk and slang words
are not for the ladylike girl,
and although some people tol
erate loose manners some girls
have, they do not really admire
it.
Far more to bo appreciated is
the girl who openly avows
that she likes nice clothes and
is given over to many little
feminine vanities, than the one
who dressed so mannishly, and
who imitates the walk of her
brother, though she may be
able to discuss the most ab
struse subjects with an air of
confident knowledge that her
elders can not even boast.
To be a ladylike woman does
not mean that one ' need adopt
fads and follies indiscriminate
ly. The woman who can make
her home bright and attractive,
who can be the model hostess
as well as wife and mother.who
is well informed and able to
talk intelligently, yet who is
wise enough to realize that wo
man's privileges are preferable
to woman's rights, is the girl
or woman we must all admiro,
and the one fit to be taken to
the honorable man's heart.

BACK TO CHILDHOOD'S DAYS.
Woman is nearer the savage slate than man. Her only function is
to bear children. Professor Sargent, of Harvard.
She is nothing but a woman with a voice that's soft and sweet,
Making sacred all she touches, e'en the dust beneath her feet,
With a laugh that's sweetest music and a sigh that's sweeter yet,
With a look that makes you wonder and remember and forget
Just a woman who is pure,
With a faith serene and sure
Who has made you somewhat better since the moment when you met.
She is nothing but a woman, of a lower lype than man,
Her development restricted, fashioned on a poorer plan;

"Ah, Nature is a real artist," ex
claimed the thin man, addressing
the fat man who sat in the oppo
site seat. "Have you never gazed
at her wonders? Have you never
watched the lambent flame of dawn
leaping across the dome of the
world? Have you never watched
the red-stained islets floating in
lakes of fire? Have you never

never felt the amazement of these
things?"

Vhen the friends of fairer moments turn their faces and are dumb

Happy Memories Frequently

WISHING.
The other day an amateur mis
sion worker reported at one of the
West Side stations ot the United
Charities. She presented a case
which on the face of it, was most
deserving that of a mother of five
children who had been abandoned
by her husband.
"But," said the charities official,
"what is to prevent your taking
charge of this case yourself?"
"Oh," responded the young
missionary, "1 couldn't think of it,'
you know I'm doing the Lord's
work." Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Do you wish the world were better?
Lei me tell you what to do;
Set a watch upon your actions,
Keep them alwas straight and true,
Rid your mind of selfish motives,
Let your thought be clean and high;
You can make a little Eden
Of the sphere you occupy.
Do you wish the world were wiser?
Well, suppose you make a start,
By accumulating wisdom,
In the scrap-book of your heart,
Do not waste one page on folly;
Live 10 learn, and learn to live,
If you want to give them knowledge,
You musi get it ere you give.
Do you wish ihe world were happy?
Then remember day by day,
Just to scatter seeds of kindness
As you pass along the way;
For the pleasures of the many
May be oft-times traced to one,
1 As the hand that plants an acorn
Shelters armies from the sun.
On looking back through your
life you will find that some of its
happiest memories are connected
with your childhood and how curi
ously they are sometimes brought
back to you. The scent of a hay
field takes me back to days, when
in short frocks and sun-bonnets,
we children romped in the mead
ows, climbed the ricks and built
ourselves "little houses" in the
sweei-smeling haycocks.
The perfume of a certain flower
suddenly brings a long-forgotten
episode to life, a bar of music has
power to set quivering a chord in
the heart that has remained un
touched for years. Sometimes
these memories are sad, not in
themselves, perhaps, but because
of the afterward, because of the
longing they awaken for "the
louch of the vanished hand and
the sound of a voice that is still."
Still we treasure ihem none the
less, and for their very precious
ness add them to our book of hap
py memories as the best and dear
est of all to linger on, and relieve
again and again when the quiet
more lonely time has come.
JUST THE SAME EITHER SIDE.
iiual meetingiif the Smitlnvark j

zation society, says the l,on-j

"A revolt ogamst pain," he j
said, "is inn' of the incist plum
met features in our life at the
present time. We dislike the j
very thought of pain as our an- j
cestors did not dislike it, and;
we shrink from inflicting it i
even with good reason. The
recollection of pain suffered is;
as a safeguard; and in other
ways pain is the best effectual
means that could be devised to
protect us against various dan
gers. "It is unite clear that ( iod I
does not consider death to l.e ;
an evil or an injustice, and it
is equally clear that he intend- ;
ed his creatures to sutler pain.
Pain is a condition that is most
precious in this world. Would
motherhood be what it is with
out pain and self - sacrifice ?
Would pity and charity have
scope in a painless world?
Would a world in which no one
deserved pain be a moral world
at all ?
"We must not shirk pain, for
it is in itself beneficial and part
of God's ordering of the world.
It is a great blood purifier; we
cannot iret rid of moral evil
without it. Where pain ends
gain ends. Success is rooted
in apparent failure, and in the
highest pleasures there is al
ways an undemote of pain."
