In this world of woe; this world
where all the big apples are on
top where the pretty girls have
the advantage of those not so good
looking, and where men grown
old wear whisker paini, it is al
ways a struggle. Many of us
curse the load we bear because ii
is made heavier by ihoughiless
ness on the pari of oiliers. Listen
to this from the Lincolnton Times;
"We are sorry 10 find two or
three of our readerr a liule wrought
up because we had our represent-
aiive send them a bill for their
buck subscriptions."
Funny about some fellows and
their bills. They go laughing and
smiling as though to a wedding
feasi when ihey order something
sent down "and charge it please'
but when the innocent bill col
lector comes along they refuse to
treai him with respect. He is
guiltless. He is simply out trying
to get a little cash 10 make things
go, and because he asks you to
come across you get mad and think
the man is iniruding. Not all of
you but some of us.
The man who owes an honest
debt should never be offended
when the bill is presented. He
should ireal a collector with cor-
dialiiy, because the collector may
be depending on his success to buy
bread for his babies. The collec
tor is mn Huiliy of any wrong do
ing. The- imin who sent you the
bill is within his rights -you owe
the muiiLy and you know you
owe ii, and why gel a grouch and
be mean about ii ? Suppose there
is a mistake? Why not under
stand it is unimeniional and go in
a calm and peaceful manner and
explain. Why rip and snort, swear
and tear your hair and insist that
you do not propose to stand for
this sort of thing? Why gel mad
because you are asked to pay what
you honestly owe or what a man
thinks you honestly owe ? Why?
Simply because you do not stop
to think. Because you think
smart 10 go up in ihe air and
frighten half to death a timid, in
nocent bill collector who never
wronged you and wouldn't wrong
you for the world. tverything

MY DREAM.
I dreamed of you, and all the fair
Sweet joys of other years came back
The days unburdened by care,
The words, the smiles, the tears, alack !
And yet, Love's sacred own, each tear
That made love more dear, more dear
To you 10 me Love's vanished years
Came back my eyes were full of tears I
1 dreamed of you, and thought to stay
My tears, and check my throbbing heart
And let my dream have fondest sway !
I bade my present go apart
And be no more, while 1 should dream
'Twas not a dream ! But, when those years
Came back my eyes were full of tears.
I dreamed of you, and let them have
Their way my tears and let my breast
Throb with unrest, the while I gave
Myself up to my dreams the blest.
Dear memory of what once was I
'Twas vain 10 have done else, because
When the lone heart dreams of Love's years,
'Tis then the eyes will fill with lears !
PATHWAY OF THE LIVING,
The pathway of the living is our ever present care,
Let us do our best 10 smooth it and make it bright and fair;
Let us travel it wiih kindness, let's be careful as we tread,
And lei's give unto the living what we'd offer to the dead.
The pathway of the living we can beautify and grace,
We can line it deep with roses and make earth a happier place.
But we've done all mortals can do when our prayers are softly said,
For ihe souls of those that travel o'er the pathway of the dead.
The pathway of ihe living all our strength and courage needs,
There we ought to sprinkle favors, there we ought to sow our deeds
There our smiles should be the brightest, there our kindest words be said.
For the angels have the keeping of the pathway of the dead.
This is ihe month when the old
omen used to gel busy with their
yarbs" and their "syrups," and
go out and dig up the sassafras root
nd mix it with something or oiher
nd as night rolled her curtains
own and pinned them with a siar,
caused ihe kidletie to drink a spoon
two of the "blood purifier."
n these days these days of the
eternal conflict with germs of high
and low degree, we don't monkey
much with the blood we pass up
the old tonics and the golden past.
However, as each spring time
comes with its glories of vernal
bloom we cannot fail to feel anew
the inspiraiion of ihe Boston poet
who sang:
'O, sassafras, O, sassafras,
Thou art the stun" for me !
And in the spring, I love to sing,
Sweet sassafras, of thee !"
Whether the blood needs the
dope or not, we know full well
that such an effusion such a court
ing of the Wall Lyed Muse fur
nishes to ihe intellect to the
mind, a soothing syrup calculated
to cause all grouch germs to take
to tall timber. Everything.

When taken in proper doses it is the best of medicine. It is now be
ing prescribed for many lorms ol invalidism such as heart disease,
Bright s disease, nervousness, and particularly for insanity. The lack
ot worK is onen tne cause ot many cnrunic maiaaies ana it is a wise
physician who can determine when one needs work insiead of rest and
in prescribing the remedy produce no unpleasant situations. About
the most unhealthful person, as well as the most unhappy and useless,
is the person wiih nothing to do.
Work is a dispeller of fears. It is the exercise that is as essential to
the body and mind as are food and air. It is only when work is car
ried to excess mat it oecomes injurious, as in tne case with food, rest
and all good things.

is not necessary and life is one grand sweet song of idleness. Life

sacrifice. Il is not less work that we need, but work in die right pro

Apropos of a young girl's rich
marriage. Mayor kockwcii said,
at h reception iu Akron.
"Our girls don't marry as disad
vantage as our boys do. In the
whirl of love the female doesn't
seem to get as dizzy as ihe male.
"A pretty girl told me the other
day that she was engaged to a v ery
rich landowner.
" 'Well, well,' said I, 'and here
we all thought you'd marry the el
oquent young preacher who took
you about so much lasi summer.'
The girl smiled.
" 'Deeds speak louder than
words,' she said."
Most of the so-called fun you
have in this life is downrighi foolishness.
An officeholder should remem
ber that one bad term doesn't de
serve another.
He laughs best who has the
laugh on the other fellow.

Said a minister's seven-year-old
son:
I upa, do you eVef look ul tne
while you are preaching?"
The father, thinking thai he was
a little hurt by supposed neglect,
said :
"Certainly, my son, I ofien look
at you, and think of you when
am preaching."
"But today did you notice me at
all ?"
"Yes, I did, son, several times,'
said the father.
wen, papa, did you see me
wink at you two or three times?"
No, my son. What did you
wink at me for when I was preach
inh?"
1 winked at you, papa, to gel
you to stop. You were spinning
