DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO QUIT.
MR. rLAfJLER AND ENGINEER
j BROWN.
I When Mr. Henry M. Flagler
was engaged in building his won
derful railway over the sea from
j Mainn io Key West, -'la., he had
j in his employ a young engineer
j we will call Brown There was
, one Mrcich of water between two
I keys where more than one engineer
had declared that, on account of
the peculiarities of the currents,
no bridge could be built. But Mr.
I'lagler and Engineer Brown held
to the opinion that it could. So
Mr. Flagler put young Brown in
charge of the work, saying to him:
"1 want tli .t bridge built. It can
be dui:c; I Know it. So. whatever
happens, don't you quit, but Slick
to it."
The young man regarded Mr.
Flatln ruinesily as he replied :
" Inn I undertake anything, Mr.
Flagler, I stick to it till it's done. I
don't kiio how to quit."
The work went steadily from
ttcck to wrek; then one day there
came a terrific storm which not
only considerably injured the work
already accomplished, but carried
out to sea the house boat on which
were the young engineer and sev
eral of his workmen.
Days passed, and no tidings of
them came They were given up
for lost. In his New York office
Mr. Flagler said to his secretary :
Poor brown! That was one job
he was forced to quit." He had
hardly spoken when a telegram
was handed him. It was from
Brown, and the contents were like
this : "Sorry to have to quit for
a time, but couldn't help it. Am
back on the job."
A few days later Mr. Flagler had
the story. The house boat drifted
far out to sea. The men aboard
were picked up by a passing steam
er. So the young engineer who
did not know how to quit went
back to his job and finished it.

FLEETING AWAY,
The fad brings us all to the realization that life is fast fleeting away
and as the shadows lengthen we find that we are
A little more tired at close of day,
A little less anxious to have our way;
A little less ready to scold and blame,
A little more care of a brother's name;
And so we are nearing the journey's end,
Where time and eternity meet and blend.
A little more love for the friends of youth;
A little less zeal for established truth;
A linle more charity in our views,
A little less thirst for the daily news;
And so we are folding our tents away,
And passing in silence at close of day.
A little less care for bonds and gold,
A little more zest in the days of old;
A broader view and a saner mind,
A little more love for all mankind;
And so we are faring adown the way
That leads to the gates of a better day.
A little more leasure to sit and dream,
A little more real the things unseen;
A little nearer to those ahead,
With visions of those long loved and dead ;
And so we are going, where all must go,
To the place the living may never know.

GROWING OLD AND SAD.
SADNESS IS THE LAST THING THAT
OUGHT TO CHARACTERIZE OLD
AGE.
It is a common belief that as a
person advances in years he be
comes not only a wiser but a sad
der man. That one should gain
knowledge as he grows older is
thoroughly in order but that he
should become increasingly bur
dened with the cares of life and
saddened because of hopes that
have not been fulfilled is not a ne
cessary condition.
It is true that the clouds that
gather about the setting sun do
take a sobercoloring from an eye
that has kept watch on man's mor
tality, to paraphrase Wordsworth
a bit, and that the thought of con
stantly lessening activity and pros
pects which age emails, is enough
to make one pause and consider.
But consideration that goes tar
enough will reveal that all time,
whether of this world or another,
is an unending opportunity for pro
gression. After all, the whole matter of
age, is something that has to do
with the mind rather than the body.
And when the body begins to fail,
when gray hairs appear, the step
becomes less springy, sleep more
difficult and joy in things that used
to please an impossibility, sadness
should not be the result.
The mind is a great crucible
which receives and transfuses in
some fashion impressions from all
the objects and facts of life. The
will is the master which determines
what the transfusion shall be. A
man can let his will relax or he can
keep it active, regardless of age.
He can make of his existence a
heaven or a hell, whether he be
old or young, rich or poor, in a
favored spot of the earth, on de
sert soil orTallen on evil days.
When the entire family employ
themselves in telling Alice what a

sure sign she is going to marry

THE SINUINQ TRER.
A curious African tree, belong
ing 10 the acacia, or locust family,
has an Arabian name, "soffar,"
which means a flute or pipe. It
bears thorns, and the larvae of in
sects work their way into the bases
of the young thorns, which then
swells into round capsules an inch
in diameter. The brown insect
escapes from this chamber by a
circular opening, and when the
wind blows into these holes it
causes them to emit a flute-like
sound. African travelers speak of
the strangely sweet melody pro
duced by the wind playing through
a grove of acacias with these cu
rious Aeolian harps.
COMPANY.
"It would be lough to be fool
but for one thing.'
"What is that?"
"There are plenty of other fools
lo go around with."
INDIFFERENT.
BOTH SIDES RESPECTED THE HOME
OF GEORGE WASHINGTON.
In those tragic years when the
Civil War was raging, the banks
of the Potomac were the scenes of
many bloody conflicts: armed ves
sels patrolled the river, fortifica
cations were erected on its heights,
armies camped along its shores,
and the sound of cannon or mus
ketry daily echoed over its waters.
Homes and fields were abandoned
by their owners, for no one fell
safe against the raids of the scout
ing or foraging parlies of the Union
and the Confederate troops..
But there was one exception.
Both sides respected Mount Ver
non. Neither army sought to oc
cupy or to fortify it. No forcing
or plundering took place within its
precincts. The old furniture stood
peacefully in the old rooms; the
old irees stood in the old grove. It
was ihe one bit ot neutral ground
in that long and bloody war. Rev
erence for Washington's home
and memory was implanted in the
heart of every soldier, whether he
were from the North or from the
South.
There was a story current in
those days, says Mr. Frederick W.
Seward in his reminiscences, that
the old mansion was left in charge
of two persons, a man and his sis
ter. He was la Union man; she
was a sympathizer with the Con
federacy. When the visitors ap
proached from the riverside they
were presumably from the Union
gunboats, and he went out to meet
them. When they approached
from the landward side they were
presumably from the Confederate
camps, and she went to greet them.
But it made little difference.
Whichever they were, they all
came as friends, and were received
as such.
When Prince Jerome Napoleon,
with his suite, visited Washington
during the war he inquired about
Mount Vernon. "Is it in your
hands, or held by the enemy?"
"Neither, prince," was the re
ply. "It is sacred, and treated as
neutral ground."
One of the French visitors re
marked, "A present vous avez la
guerre, mais pour lui, e'est tou
jours la paix."
It was an augury of the coining
time when we should find that
there were some things we could
not divide. We had found that we
could not divide the glory of
George Washington. In due time
we were to find that we could not
divide the Union he had founded
nor the flag he had unfurled over
it.
Gladys "And when the conduc
tor found you hadn't got the fare
in your bag, did he make you get

seem to care whether I walked or
sat down'"
