There was an old farmer who
was widely known as the crosses!,
closest and mosi generally non
likable citizens in the whole state
relates the Baltimore American.
Like oiher mean men he lived to
a ripe old age, but eventually he
died and his Friends went ahead
with plans For the tuneral.
Now it is customary, in the case
of rural funerals, for those who at
tend, as they stand by the coffin,
to murmur some eulogy of the
dead. A number of farmers came
in and said things which didn't
square at all with the old man's
life.
Finally, an aged man, who had
known the deceased all his life,
hobbled in and stood by the coffin.
The truthful man in the county.
Hence, the other people present
waited with interest to hear what
he would say.
The old man gazed down silent
ly for a while. He paused, Fi
nally he spoke.
"Wall," he said earnestly, "no
body kin deny that he was a great
hand for closin' his stable doors o'
nights. "

Dr. Wiley tells the following
story: sleepily, aner a nignt orr,
a certain interne hastened to his
hospital ward. The first patient
was a stout old Irishman.
"How goes it?" he inquired.
"Faith, it'sh me breathin,' Doc
tor. I can't get me breath at all,
at all."
"Why, your pulse is normal.
Let me examine the lung action,"
replied the doctor, kneeling beside
the cot and laying his head on the
ample chest.
"Now, let's hear you talk," he
continued closing his eyes and lis
tening.
"What'll Oi be sayin', Doctor?'
"Oh, say anything. Count one,
two, three and up," murmured
the interne, drowsily.
"Wan, two, three, four, five,
six.' beean the patient. When
the young doctor with a start open
ed his eyes, Pat was counting
huskily. "Tin hundred and sixty

Worth Careful Thought
Do you read the label to know whether
your baking powder is made from cream
of tartar or, on the other hand, from alum
or phosphate ?
Royal Baking Powder is made from
cream of tartar, derived from grapes, and
adds to the food only wholesome qualities.
Other baking powders contain alum or
phosphate, both of mineral origin, and
used as substitutes for cream of tartar
because of their cheapness.
Never sacrifice quality and healthful
ness for low price.

Miss Mason was explaining to
her Sunday school class the lesson
for the day, the subject being the :
tares and the wheat.
"Now, remember children, the ;
tares represent the bad people and
the wheat the good ones."
"Why, Miss Mason!" exclaimed
a rosy-cheeked boy, who had been
listening through the lesson with ;
deep interest. "Did you say the ;
tares are the bad folks and the j
wheat the good ones?"
"Yes, James," replied the tench-
er, pleased at the lad's interest
"Well, that's funny, 1 think!" j
replied the mauer-of-faci child, i
"It's the wheat that gets thrashed; J
the tares don't." The Country
Gentleman.

When you come to the gate does it click, click, click,
At the touch of the fingers that open it quick'
Are there voices to greet you
With laughter and song,
When you come to the gate
From the toil that was long ?
When you come to the gate does it swing, swing wide
At the touch of the hands that are waiting inside?
Are there little arms round you,
And eyes that are bright,
With the laughter and loving
That deck the dear night?
When you come to the gate do you bring o'er ihe miles
The sunshine of love and the sweetness that smiles?
When you come to the gate
Does it click, click, click,
At the touch of the fingers
, That open it quick?
THREE SOnQS.
Sing me, thou Singer, a song of gold ! ,
Said a careworn man to me;
So 1 sang of the golden summer days,
And the sad, sweet autumn's yellow haze,
Till his heart grew soft, and his mellowed gaze
Was a kindly light to see.
Sing me, dear Singer, a song of love !
A fair girl asked of me ;
Then I sang of a love that clasps the Race,
Gives all, asks naught till her kindled face
Was radiant with a starry grace
Of blessed Charity.
Sing me, 0 Singer, a song of life !
Cried an eager youth to me;
And 1 sang of the life without alloy,
Beyond our years, till the heart of a boy
Caught the golden beauty, and love, and joy
Of the great hternity.
Henry Foster, of Clay county,
had been arrested for allowing his
horse and wagon to block ihe pub
lic thoroughfare for the better part
of five hours.
"Did you leave your team for
five hours, Mr. Foster," asked the
Judge.
"Might have been thet long,
Jedge," was the reply.
"Where were you?"
"In a saloon on Decatur street,
yer Honor, takin' a drink."
"Do you mean to tell me that it
took you five hours to consume
one drink?"
"Well, sur, no, not ex-actly; I
wuz interrupted three or fo' times.'

he asked the weeping woman who
answered the door.
"Yassuh." she replied between
sobs.
"May 1 see the remains?" asked
the coroner.
"1 is de remains," she answer
