A woman who had many sor rows and heavy burdens to bear, but wlto was noted for cheerful spirit, once said in explanation: "You know I have had no money. I had nothing to give but myself; and so 1 made the resolution that I would never sadden any one else with my troubles. I have laughed and told jokes when I could have wept. I have always smiled in the face of every misfortune. 1 have tried never to let any one go from my presence without a happy word or a bright thought to carry with him. And making happiness engenders happiness. I myself am happier than 1 would have been had 1 sat down and bemoan ed my fate." This gospel of happiness is one which everyone should lay to heart. Set out with the invincible deter matiiin that you will bear burdens and not impose them. Whether tlir sun shines or the rain falls, shuw a glad face to your neighbor. If you must fall in life's battle, you can at least fall with a smile on your face. Wellspring, A MOTHER'S LOVE. I'HXSIIIKN I : V. E. DANIEL, V II K-eKkSUIKS I . XV. K. SMITH. I.. ('.

Rev. Sam P. Jones had the fol lowing peroration at the close of one of his lectures: "An angel was sent down Iront Heaven one day to bring back the most beautiful thing on earth. He hunted long and carefully, saw a bed of full grown American Beauty roses, lovely beyond compare, and he gathered an armful and started to return to his home above. As he soared into the air he saw a baby's smile, and rilled with rap turous admiration at the sight, re turned to take it, too. By its side he discovered a mother's love, and with all three in his arms, he mounted to the place beyond the skies. Just outside the pearly gates the spirit paused for a mo ment, and lo! the roses had with ered and were dead, the baby's smile had vanished, bin, strong as ever the mother's love remained, and he cast the other aside and took this and laid it at the Master's feet as the most lovely and lasting thing on earth.

One day in the country she heard for the first time, a hen cackle. "Oh, mamma," she exclaimed, "what does the hen say?" "Well.' her mother smiled, "I suppose she says she has laid an egg." Margaret did not understand the smile and after a moment's pro found thought she came back again, "And what does she say, mam ma," she inquired more seriously than before, "what does she say when she lays bacon ?"

There are several good reasons, but there is one which distinguishes Royal from other baking powders. This reason, which every woman should know, is that Royal Baking Powder is made from cream of tartar, which comes from grapes. This means a healthful fruit origin. It means natural food as distinguished from mineral substitutes used in other baking powders. There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal Baking Powder. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO.

Debtor Was Perfectly Willing to Pay Bill, and the Arrangement Satisfied All Parties. i j A very angry client entered a i New York lawyer's office. He had called upon a debtor and ask l ed him politely to pay a bill of j J.SU, anu Had been abused tor ; his pains. Now he w anted the lawyer to collect it. j The lawyer demurred. The bill was so small that it would cosi the whole amount to collect it. No matter, said the angry one. I don't care if I don't get a cent as long as that fellow has to pay it." So the lawyer wrote the debtor a letter, and in a day or two the latter appeared in high dudgeon. He did not owe any $2.50, and he would not pay. "Very well," said the lawyer; "then my instructions are to sue. But I should hardly think it would pay you to stand suit for so small a sum." "Who will get the money if I pay it'" asked the man. Tlie lawyer was obliged to con fess that he should "Very well," said the debtor; that's another matter. If Smith isn't going to get it, I'm perfectly willing to pay it." Youth's Com panion.

C. 4 Per Cent, allowed in the Savings Depart ment Compounded Quarterly. JlHKH. 2:."!.) The most far-reaching and fatal sin of the human race is neglect. It is the egg from which all oiher sins are hatched. All blighted lives and lost souls can trace the beginning of their ruin to the neglect of the plan and provision of God to save the world. Men fail in business, are blighted in character, lose their health and their souls, not because thev desire 10 do so, nor wilfully and deliberately plan such a fate, but because they neglect the things that would save them. In the business world more men fail than succeed, and the most of them fail not because they haven't sense and resources enough to sue ceed, but because they neglect the principles of success. Many a per son fails to become a good musician, not so much for lack of ability as for neglect to practice; many a young person fails to make progress in education, not for lack of brain as for neglect in study. Physicians tell us that almost all disease is due to neglect of some body somewhere. Typhoid fever and consumption, the two maladies we most dread, can, our Health Board has told us in a recent bulletin, be banished from earth in a generation if our people will stop neglect ing the plain duties of health. Smallpox, yellow fever, the plague, and all others that destroy men, come because people neglect the plain du ties of health. Almost all the disease that comes to us, pneumonia, indigestion, heart trouble, rheumatism, come from our own neglect. The sin of neglect has a peculiar fatality. Its penalty is painful, and sure. More mothers and wives are crushed and heartbroken from neglect than anything else. Men who would not strike their wives and mothers murder them by neglect. Many men who are careful to furnish food for their families are starving their souls by neglecting them. There is nothing that hurts more than to be forgotien and neg lected by those who have loved us and sacrificed for us. I saw an old mother awhile ago whose boy was out in the world. She knew not where. When he was little and helpless she loved him and stood by him. Had she neglected him then he would have died. But now, when she is old and helpless as a little child, he neglects her. She has had no letter in months. Her poor heart is dying for the love and help he neglects to give. There are many such cases. There is nothing that hurts Jesus Christ, who loves us and died for us, like neglecting Htm, and forgetting Him. That those He Mad a right to look to for help and love neglected Him, had more to do with His death than His persecutions. There is nothing that is more fatal to our souls than to neglect them. I visited a friend, and the children came in crying with a dead squirrel in their little hands. It was their little pet, which they loved as only a little child can love a little thing, and yet they had murdered it. They had company for three days and had forgotten their little pet in its cage in the woodshed. The hoi summer was more than it could stand with out food and water, and it died. They loved it but forgot ii.and killed it as dead as if they had pierced its heart. Many people, do their souls that way. They put the soul in its cage of flesh, forget it, and starve it 10 death. They do their Saviour that way. They would not cast a stone at Him or drive a nail in His hand, but they forgei Him, ignore Hint and neglect Him crucify Him. There are two kinds of neglect. Those who neglect to begin and those who, having begun, neglect, to continue. Many never reach anywhere because they never start. Others start well, but neglect to continue. Some let their gardens grow up in briers. Others plant and plow, but when the weather is hot neglect to keep it up. Many people are lost because they neglect to become Christians, but a great many are lost because even though they begin they neglect the church, their prayer, their Bible, and their Lord, and go back to ihe world and are lost. "How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation? This is a strong way of saying there is no way of escaping the result of the sin of neglect. Ruin follows neglect as the shadow does the objects. Neg icrt health, we have sickness and death. Neglect business, we have failure. Ne2lect our souls, we have eternal ruin. All the device of men and nnwer of the world can Drovide no way of escape. J. M. Rowland, Pastor Park Place Methodist Church, Nor "Gonel" shouted the wildly ex cited individual, waving his arms in the middle of the street. A crowd gathered quickly. "Gone 1 Gone ! Gone !" he shrieked again and yet again. "What's the matter? Cashier eloped with your money?" "Wife run away ?" "Lost a child ?" "No, no, no! Bt t its's gone !" Fifty-seven people held their breath, and then asked as one: "What's gone?" The excited individual became suddenly calm. "Yesterday has gone, my friends," ne said, with a glad smile, "and today is going. You may die tomorrow or today.
