Bottle the lumhlne up. mjr dears.
And lay It safe awfcjr;
hammer the cork In good and tight.
Kp for a ralnj day.
For clouds will come and showers
will fall.
And earth and ikj look sad;
Then fling the cheery ray about.
And make the old world glad.
Bottle the sunshine up, my dears,
Sweet temper lay away;
Carry through life a smiling face.
And let your heart be gay.
There's sorrow plenty In the world.
And strife and bitter pain;
So line the clouds with golden beams.
And elng a glad refrain.

HUM) TO THE TKLTII.
Ien who vote to establish a saloon
in a community because it brings
money into the neighborhood are as
blind to the truth as a ground mole
Is to the light. A saloon takes mon
ey out of a community rather than
bringing it in. The saloon-keeper is
only a hired servant of the liquor
trust, who deals out liquid damna
tion to the citizen who has become a
victim of habit, and said money is
ent out of the community and goes
into the coffers of the liquor trust.
How many brewers or distillers re
side in your community? Not one.
Where does that multi-millionaire,
Adolphus Dusch, reside? He resides
In Pasadena, Cal., the dryest of all
"dry" places in the United States.
Vhy does Mr. Busch reside in a "dry"
city? Because it is the most pleasant
sort of & city to live in and the most
desirable place to rear a family. Did
you notice not many months ago that
the brewers whose homes are In Mil
waukee objected to the establishment
of a saloon in that part of the city
where they reside? They did not want
a saloon located where it would tempt
their boys. They have no use for a
saloon other than -aa a means by
which to exact money from one poor
soul who has beoome a slave to the
liquor habit, that it may enrich them,
but they do not want their boys to
frequent such places. Nebraska

MAKING PRESENTS.
Did it ever occur to you how much
pleasure you could give a friend liv
ing In a different part of the country
by sending her something from your
own part of the country which is newj
to her? A woman once sent a friend
three bay leaves from the South. The
recipient had never seen bay leaves,
so they pleased her very much. An
other woman sent a bayberry bag,
such as Southerners used instead of
beeswax for smoothing Irons. They
were incased in little stout bags, and
are really quite useful. The girl of
the mistletoe district little dreams
how much another would appreciate
a box of mistletoe, which is so com
mon in some places and so very ex
pensive in others. Then the young
woman in the pine district can make
pine pillows, and she who lives near
the seashore can make pretty shell
ornaments. So you see that many
things of little value In one section
of the country may. he highly appre

EATING WITHOUT FILLING.
Southern negroes are very fond of
roasted opossum s, and a paper of that
section tells how an old black hunter
captured a fine specimen and, feeling
hungry, stopped to cook It in the
woods. He built his fire and dressed
and spitted his meat; but. being very
tired as well as hungry, he fell asleep
while the 'possum was roasting.
As he slept, a "low trash" negro
came upon the scene, doubtless at
tracted by the fire and the smell of
roasting meat. The new-comer ap
proached cautiously, with one eye on
the 'possum and the other on Uncle
Eph, who slumbered.
First, he shook the old man, who
turned Into an easier position, but
would not wake. The stranger took
In the situation, and then proceeded
to take in the 'possum. He, too, was
a 'possum-ater, and he made short
work of the dainty roast. He ate
and ate till little but bones were
left.
Uncle Eph was still slepeing, and
it occurred to the' vandal that he
would make Eph think that he had
been to supper so that when he awoke
he would not suspect the theft. Then
the "low trash" negro proceeded to
'possum grease Eph's hands and face
and mouth, and to pile in the old
man's lap the gnawed bones.
Nights have mornings and sleeping
must have its waking. Uncle Eph
awoke and issilat!j thaagat ot
hit )M3a. It was sot on the fir;'
it was not anywhere to ea: bal!
there ia his Up were the bones aiea

and beani were greased and with the
smell of possum. He was telf-con-victed,
He concluded that he ha4i
eaten the 'possum, yet he could notj
remember the pleasure the eatlsc
had given him.
Weighing ail circumstantial evi
dence carefully, the old man slowly
pronounced Judgment: "Dat's a fae
I'se ben eatin dst 'possum. i been

But then his stomach why did It
not stsnd put as a witnett in hit
case? It felt empty, and yet it
should be full.
"It's certainly tho'r I done eat up
dat 'possum. Mutt a done it when
I'se 'sleep. But." and the old man
placed his hand sadly over his really
empty stomach, "but It Interferes

TWO LITTLE SHOPPERS.
One loveiy sunny day a happy
faced little girl went dancing down
the street beside her mother. She
was so happy she just couldn't walk
quietly, for In her pocket was a
bright, new silver piece of money a
quarter, that grandma had given her
for finding her glasses and she was
going to the city to buy any pretty
thing she wanted.
On the way to the cars the little
girl saw a little boy with his mother;
and he couldn't seem to keep his
feet from dancing either. He hopped
and skipped along very much as the
little girl was doing, for away down
in the bottom of his pocket there
was a beautiful piece of silver money,
too, just like the little girl's. Moth
er had given it to him for running
errands. There are so many things a
boy wants, so he was going to the
city to spend it.
The little girl smiled at the little
boy.
"I have a secret," she said.
-So have I." antwered the Utile
b-ay.
And then they Ueghe4 and taid
each other what thef s4 la their
pockets, and where they were going,
and above ail, that each was going to
buy a toy.
After they reached the city tt
didn't take long to find the stores.
All the windows were bright and full
of pretty things, bat the store was
the pTltiett of alt
It was hard to choose a toy, there
were so many of theavand all so
pretty; bat the little ' girl at last
found a doll she liked, such a lovely
doll with curly hair and blue eyet
that looked straight at you! And
she bought the doll with her piece ot
money.
The little boy did not even look at
the dollt, not he. He went to the
counter where there were boats and
tops and cars and all the toys a boy
likes. At last he spied a box of sol
diers; they were bright and thiny
and they would ttand up in long rowt
all by themselves.
"Just the thing!" he said to him
self, and he soon exchanged his piece
of money for the soldiers.
On the way home the little girl
saw the little boy trying to peep Into
the box at the soldiers.
"Won't you have a good time play
ing with them?" she asked. But the
little boy only laughed and shook ht
head.
"Won't you have a good time play
ing with your doll?" he said. Then
the little girl shook her head and
laughed.
It was strange. They had each
bought a toy and neither of them was
going to play with It. They looked
at each other as though they wanted
to ask questions. At last the little
boy laughed out ioud and the little
girl had to put her hands over her
face, the smiles were flying around
her eyes and mouth so fast.
"I didn't tell you all my secret,"
she explained; "but I'll tell you the
rest if you'll tell me yours. This dol
lie is going to a little girl who never
had a dollie only an old piece of
