When the wind blows sti'iul
ily fioin the west, the weather
will continue fair; it very rare
ly rains in our Kastern States
with the wind in the west.
Watch the smoke from a
chimney or from your camp
fire it is a good barometer, If
the smrtlco rises high, it means
clear weather. The smoke will
also show from which direction
the wind is blowing; so will a
Hag on an upright flagstaff.
A gray early morning, not a
heavy, cloudy one, promises a
fair day.
A heavy dew at night is sel
dom followed by rain the next
day. Think of it this way and
you will remember: Wet feet,
dry head.
Animals are said often to
show by their actions what the
weather will be, and there is
reason for this. Some of them
certainly have a knowledge of
coming storms. We are told
that sjiidcrs are especially sen
sitive to weather changes, and
when they make new webs the
weather will be fair; if they
continue spinning during a
shower, it will soon clear off.
Adeliu !'.. Heard in St. Nich'o
las. A UKAin IFUL YEAR.
A girl was wcking up a new wall
cilfinljr, hearing the unfamiliar
figures of iln- new year jusi about
to open.
"li is going io be a beautiful
year,'' she said, with a prophetic
tone of assurance.
Some one who heard the girl's
prediction, curious to know what
was in her mind, asked: "How
do you know it is going io be a
beauiitul year. A year is a long
time."
"Veil," she answered, "a day
isn't a long time, and I know be
cause I'm going to take a day at a
lime and make it o. Years are
only days when you come right
down to ii, and 1 am going to see
lhat every single one of these 365
days gels some one beautiful thing
into it."
"Then it will be a beautiful
year," the friend answered. "You
have hold of a wonderful se
cret.
"So leach us to number our
days that we may apply our hearts
unio wisdom. And let the beauty
of the Lord our God be upon us."
I he bvangelical.
If u man has an extravagant wife
and a large family to support it
isn't a hard maner io convince

HIS WAY
1 lis way is best.
How long I spent in learning
'Twasonly for my highest good He planned,
And all ihe while His loving heari was yearning
Thai He might lead me gently by ihe hand,
And end unrest.
His way is best.
I cease from needless scheming,
And leave the ruling of my life io Him,
All will be well, though all wrong 'tis seeming,
And will be clear what now to me is dim.
So I am blest.
His way is best.
I may not know ihe reason
Of the darkness I am passing through;
Bui this I know, that every testing season
He makes a blessing, if io Him I'm true,
And so I rest.
His way is best.
When I shall cross ihe river,
And see my King, my Saviour, face io face,
I'll praise His name forever and forever,
For all the way He led, for all ihe grace
With which He blessed.
GET UP AND GO ON.
Your wee foot slipped on the floor, my son;
Get up and go on!
Your game of tag is far from done
Get up and go on.
That dimpled knee got an awful hurt
See the rough-up skin and the ground-in din !
But you're good for a stronger, swifter spurt
.Get up and go on.
Sometimes there are terrible bruises, lad,
But get up and go on. '
And your father's arms if it's quite loo bad
Gei up and go on
Will gather you close and gently say :
"There, there ! Has ii spoiled ihe baby's play?"
Bui you'll find in the end thai the better way
Is "gel upand go on."
All through your life it will be the same
Get up and go on.
Grin over your pain and play the game
Get up and go on.
For folk will watch when your falls take place
Will waich ihe expression on your face
And accurately will adjudge your case
So get up and go on.
And whenever the fall too cruel seems
To get up and go on;
When hope has hidden its faintest gleams,
Get up and go on!
And the arms of the Father who knows what's best
Will hold you close io a loving breast ;
Till your baffled soul finds strength in rest -
Get up and go on !
SAY "I WILL."
The Wishbone and the Backbone.
"Don't carry your wishbone
where your backbone ought to be."
I saw this ihe oilier day on a card
in a shop window; a piece of ex
cellent advice which we all need,
is it not? How much time we
waste in wishing lhat things were
other ihan they are: that our en
vironment was different from what
il is; that we were physically, or
morally, or spiritually stronger
than we know ourselves to be! Is
it too much to say that the two lit
tle words, "I wish," express the
normal attitude of mind of a large
number of people? I do not sug
gest thai ihe exercise of will power
can altogether change our environ
ment, or give us bodily health; but
it might help to do both. It is of
no use io ourselves or to others to
spend our time and energy of soul
in wishing lhat we and the world
were better. It would be of a very
great deal of use were we io exer
cise our will power in ihe matter;
if, instead of saying, "I wish I were
better," "I wish ihe world were
bcitcr," we were to say, "I will be
better, and I will do my part in
making ihe world better, God help
ing me." If we, you and I, are to
do any good work in our own
souls, or in ihe world, we must
leave otf saying "I wish," and be
gin io say "1 will."
UNLUCKY ANSWER.
Her husband had just come homi
and had his first meeting with ihe
new nurse, who was remarkably
pretty.
"She is sensible and scientific,
too," urged the fond mother, "and
says she will allow no one to kiss
baby while she is near."
"No one would want to," re
plied the husband, "while she is
near."
And the nurse was discharged.
Any silly nonsense sounds rea
sonable to a girl if put in the Form
of a love letter. Anyway, we
ought to be thankful that the pray
ers of our enemies are not always
answered. . ,
IS BEST,
TAKING. NO CHANCES.
Bismarck one evening attended
a gathering of prominent men at
the house of a Russian nobleman.
During all the conversation he
was particularly sarcastic, cutiine
friends and opponents unsparing
ly. hen he rose to take his leave
and walked downstairs the hosi
called a pel dog that was frisking
about and led him to one side.
"Are you afraid the dog will bite
me ? asked Bismarck.
"Oh, no," replied ihe host;
"I'm afraid you'll bite the dog."
A MISTAKEN CONNOISSEUR.
"How wonderful your painting
is ! It fairly makes my mouth
water."
"A sunset makes your mouth
water ?"
"Oh i it a GiincAl I ihAi.nh.
it was a fried egg."
SUPERSTITIOUS.
Neighbor I heard your dog
howling last night. If he howls
three nights in succession it's a
sure sign of death.
Nexidoor Indeed ! And who
do you think will die?

"De man who makes hay while

"gcuciaily has io take care of a lot

WAR HUSBANDS.
"How about the man who got
married so that He wouldn't be
among the first called to enlist?"
"Let him alone. The kind of
woman who would marry that kind
of man will make him willing to
go to war or anywhere else io es
cape from home."
Occasionally a young man would
rather w'ork all his days than mar
ry a rich girl. We don't know
the answer.
It costs more to avenge a wrong
than it does to let it goby default.
GAVE IN LOVINfi MEMORY.
He Made His Love for the Dead
! a Power totiladden the Living.
j A little old tiiiiu en into
the ollice of the Chicago Char- !
j it it- and hiiil down ' I ."' "to !
help out s e n ly families."
j Then he told I hem a story :
"Years ago, when all my
I olke were living. I couldn't af
ford tn give presents. Things
arc different now, hut most of
my folks have gone. I went
shopping just ns if my folks
were alive. I picked out a
shawl for an aunt of mine.
She's dead, anil 1 didn't buy it,
but I put down the amount of
money I would have spent.
Then I went, and got some
things for my dead brother and
for my father mid mother, and
for a few old friends of mine..
I didn't really get I hem, you
know, but 1 picked the tilings
I thought they would like.
When 1 added up all the money
1 would have spent it, cnnie to
almost $l."il, so I added u little
to it, and so here it is."
Has any one heard of a finer,
more beautiful way of showing
a man's love for his dead? The
things he wanted to do, it
was too late to do now. lie
might, it is true, have spent
money on stone to make more
artificial and melancholy, the
quiet hillside where "his folks"
rest. He found a better way
to spend his affection, to re
member in fancy those he no
longer could reach and to see
that his loving memory of them
went to make others happier.
He laid tribute on grief and
made it a blessing. It is not a
sad story; we need not pity him
but we cannot help loving
him. Milwaukee Sentinel.
WHAT BOY READS IMPORTANT.
Youth Should Be Protected From
Depraved Associations in Print
as Well As In Flesh and Blood.
What n boy reads is us im
portant as any thing else about
him. You try to protect him
against depraved associations
of flesh and liln.nl. but pretty
often you make little enough
effort to protect him from de
praved associations in print.
You send him to school in a
belief that the stuff he absorbs
from printed pages forms his
mind; but out of school you
may let him absorb stuff from
printed pages that is not tit to
be in a dog's mind.
Time was when you could
tell a wrong book for a boy be
cause it was bound in yellow
paper and sold for q dime.
Nowadays many wrong books
for boys are perfectly bound
in cloth, and they are perfectly
moral, in the narrowest sense
of that absurd word. They de
scribe how u fourten-year-old
boy, with a discarded set of
harness and an old hoopskirt,
made a flying machine ami sail
ed around the earth; or with a
leaky wash boiler and $2 in
cash built a submarine that de
stroyed the enemy's Heet; how
a lad in knee breeches circum
vented u gang of desperate
criminals and so became presi
dent of a railroad at sixteen.
These tales of preposterous
juvenile achievement are do
praved because they nro mon
strous lies. They do not stim
ulate a boy's imagination: they
drug it. They do not set his
mind usefully ut work, but
send it off in a weird opium
d ream. They do not brace or
engage a boy's mind: they lead
it into a vicious, enervating
habit of dope-taking. They
are a sort of psychological
whisky drinking that makes
the victim unresponsive to
wholesome, nalurul tonics and
begets a llabby craving for the
artificial kick. --Saturday Even

BASEBALL PLAYER FIRST.
The'"Sunday school class had
just finished singing '.'I want to be
an angel and with the angels
stand," when the teacher, observ
ing that one of the boys had not
taken part, said : "You want to
be an angel, too, don'i you,
Charles?" "Yes," answered
Charles, but not right away. I
want to be a baseball player first."
