They fulfil the descrip tion of the psalmist, "They shall still bring forth fruit in old age." There are tasks in every house hold that the aged, when in fair health, may perform effectively, and they should be allowed and encouraged to perform them. It is cruel to allow them to sit in the chimney corner in peevish discon tent with themselves and their sur roundings when, by some useful work, they might find the days filled with interest, and the nights with refreshing sleep. To clean and fill the lamps, to mend the stockings, to arrange flowers for the table, may not seem a large duty schedule for a vigorous house keeper but to turn these talks over to grandmother may be a means of keeping her both healthy and hap py, lincourage grandfather to feel himself still a man of affairs. If he cannot run the automobile he can run the electric vacuum-clean er to the queen's taste. If he can not mow the lawn he can superin tend the boy who does, and can himself clip around the edges.

A school teacher received a note like this: "Dear Mum: Please ixcuse Johnny today. He will not be at school. He is acting as timekeep er tor his father. Last night you gave him this iximple. If a field is 4 miles square how long will it take a man walking 3 miles an hour to walk 2'j times around it? Johnny ain't no man. so we had to send his daddy. They left early this morning and my husband said they ought to be back late tonight, though it would be hard going. Dear Mum, please make the nixt problem about ladies, as my hus band can't afford to lose the day's work. Goodness knows I don t have no time to loaf, but 1 can spare a day off occasionally better than my husband can. Resp'y yrs, Mrs. Jonls." HOW TO BE CONTENTED. If you wish to gain contentment try these rules : I . Allow yourself to complain of nothing, not even the weather. 2. Never picture yourself in anv circumstances in which you are not. 3.

J5 Pale, withered hands, that more than fourscore years Had wrought for others soothed the hurt of tears, Rocked children's cradles, eased the fever's smart, Dropped tenderest balm in many an aching heart Now stirless, folded, like wan rose leaves passed Above the snow and silence of her breast In mute appeal they tell of labor done And well-earned rest that came with set of sun, From the worn brow the lines of care are swept As if angel's kiss the while she slept Had smoothed the cobweb wrinkles quite away And given back the peace of childhood's day, A smile is on the lips, as if she said: "None know life's secret save the happy dead." And, gazing where she lies, we feel that pain And parting cannot cleave her soul again; And we are sure that they who saw her last In tint dim vista which we call the past, Who never knew her old and weary-eyed Remembering best the maiden and the bride, Have sprung to greet her with the olden speech The dear, sweet names no later love can teach, And "Welcome home !" they cried, and grasped her hands So dwells the mother in the best of lands.

Who wins by trick may take the prize, And at first he may think it sweet, But many a day in the future lies When he'll wish he had met defeat. For the man who lost shall be glad at heart And walk with his head up high, While his conqueror he must play the part Of a cheat and a living lie. The prize seems fair when the fight is on, But, save it is truly won, You will hate the things when the crowds are gone, For it stands for a false deed done, And it's better you never should reach your goal Than ever success to buy At the price of knowing down in your soul That your glory is all a lie. "If 1 should die 'fore I wake," said Donny, kneeling at grand mother's knee; " 'f I should die 'fore I wake" "I pray,' " prompted the gentle voice. "Go on, Donny." "Wait a minute," interposed the small boy, scrambling to his feet and hurrying away down stairs. In a brief space he was back again, and dropping down in his place, took up his petition where he had led off. But when the little white- gowned form was safely tucked in bed the grandmother questioned with loving rebuke concerning the interruption. "But I did think what I was say ing, grandmother; that's why I had to stop. You see, 1 d upset led s menagerie and stood all his wood en soldiers on their heads just to see how he'd tear around in the morning.' ' 'f I should die 'fore I wake,' why 1 didn't want him to find 'em that way, so 1 had to go down and fix 'em right. There's lots of things that seem funny if you're goin' to keep on livin', but you don't want 'em that way if you should die 'fore you wake." "That was right, dear; it was right," commented the voice with its lender quaver. "A good many of our prayers would not be hurt by stopping in the middle of them to undo a wrong." HE WAS SOME SICK.

A novelist recently found him self in a train with two talkative women. Having recognized him from his published portraits, they opened fire upon him in regard to his novels, praising them in a man ner which was unendurable to the sensitive author. Presently the train entered a tunnel and in the darkness the novelist raised the back of his hand to his lips and kissed it soundly. When light returned, he found the two women regarding each other in icy silence. Addressing them with great suavity, he said : "Ah. ladies, the one regret of my life will be that I shail nevei know which of vou it was that kissed me1" At latest accounts the ladies had not yet spoken to each other. CONSIDERATE. Mrs. Knicker Do you tell your husband domestic troubles when he comes home at night? Mrs. Bocker Never; I always 'phone him about them during the day. The wise man takes a back seat and watches the fool butt into dan ger. Complaint of ill luck is often an apology for laziness. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA George Sidney, the actor, tells a story, for which he contesses a particular fondness, on one of the players of his company in his Bizzy Izzy days. "My friend was hopelessly ad dicted to his cups," said Mr. Stan ley, "and nothing that we could say to him ever seemed to reform him much. But sometimes we could get him on the wagon for a couple of months, till temptation came too strong, and he'd go back to his sins with a terrible bump. "Once we had him sober for four or five months, so that when he went on his spree it hit him a lot harder than usual. He disap peared just after the performance, and when I came into the theater the next day he was lying across the floor of my dressing room. He was moaning and groaning, and a minute or two I thought I'd have to send for a doctor. "1 lifted him up, however, and carried him inside. 'You're feel ing pretty sick, om man, aren t you ?' I said, sympathetically. 1 'Sick. George? Sick! Why, thousands have died who were not as sick as I am now. THAT HOODOO NUMBER.
