RAYMOND It eopyrigfit, 1902, by McClure'a Newspaper 9. Syndicate jj Dunwoodie liked his pipe as well as the next man and perhaps a trifle bet ter, and when he had settled himself, in his bos'u's chair near the top of the big bridge's tallest suspender and found he had left his beloved corncob and his bag of "Painters' Delight" In his other overalls at home his despair was so great that his head swam and he saw red clouds before his eyes. "It's the curse of the trade," said Dunwoodie. "He Ive been at the brush for forty JSsar or so, and never the time but I taas painting in the wrong place. M i worked on a red fence, a bull was sure to be in the field; If I'd been off on a bit of a bat, the boss would set me a-painting of scrolls and wriggly things till it seemed as if I'd got 'em sure; if I was dying of thirst, they'd give me the steeple of a meeting house to color Baptist at that, more than likely with never a drop to drink 'twixt me and the earth. And now here I be hanging 'twixt heaven and the East river and the river much easier to reach perishing for a smoke, and my pipe might as well be on top of one of them burning volcanoes for all the good it Is to me. It's the curse of the trade." Dunwoodie laid on with a heavy hand. Well for him that his perch was high and that the eye of the boss was not likely to inspect his work crit ically! Just then, as If to add insult to in jury, there came a pungent smell athwart Dunwoodie's nose. Young Tat McCabe was smoking in his com fortable perch five strands to wind ward of Dunwoodie young Pat Mc Cabe, the impudent fellow who had dared ask Dunwoodie for his only daughter's hand in marriage! Dunwoodie's daughter, the peerless Pearl, the girl Dunwoodie had been fa ther and mother to since that sad day when her own mother was laid be neath the sod in the Cemetery of the Evergreens and of whom the old man was as jealous as a hen with one chicken! Need more be said? Dun woodie looked upon young McCabe, a likely fellow enough and as handy with his brush as old Michael Angelo himself, with keenest detestation. lie hated him all the worse because deep down in his soul he knew that Miss Pearl favored the handsome Irishman. McCabe's pipe was considered the dirtiest in the gang. He had the love of his race for a well colored dhudeen, and he smoked a tobacco so strong that it would draw tears from the eye of a potat6. Dunwoodie had often cast aspersions upon it. But now now the odor which the winds wafted to his hungry nostrils was sweeter than the spicy breezes of Araby the Blest. He glanced darkly across the chasm of twisted cables and dizzying heights of air which separated them and re membered some of the hard things he had said about McCabe and his pipe and his pretensions. Now it seemed to him he would willingly barter hia chances of heaven for a smoke of the same. "I swan," said Dunwoodie, overcome by a craving which made him desper ate, "it would be a pleasure to mur der you, young man, if I could get pos session of that chimney by the doing." The thought of murder seemed to give the painter much temporary joy, for it sprang from the heart of a father jeal ous of the child who was his all in all of life saving and excepting the pipe of which he was deprived. Murder, however desirable, being out of the question, Dunwoodie resorted to strategy instead. It was hard work. But after clearing his voice a few times he managed to say: "I say, Mac, could you lend me your pipe and a bit of tobaccy? I'll return them up at the house tonight. Swing it across on a string; that's a good lad." McCabe looked up in amazement. It was many a day since he bad heard such friendliness In Dunwoodie's voice. "The fact is," said the old man, "1 left my pipe at home, and I'm dying for a smoke." "Oho!" said McCabe to himself. "So that's where the winds are blowin,.M And then he said loudly: "But ye can't smoke my pipe, Daddy Dunwoodie. Sure, ye said I put it to soak In the tannery." Dtmwoodie coughed and looked uncomfortable. "Ye said it would be afther makin' a dog sick, so It would. If I reckomember correctly, Mr. Dunwoodie, ye said I smoked Bcrap leather an findln's." Hard blows, these. Dunwoodie winced. "I was only Joking, Mac, my boy, he said, with a feeble laugh. "Was ye jokin' when ye said I couldn't marry the darlint of me sowl? Ye know whom I mane, Mr. Dun woodie." "No!" shrieked Dunwoodie. "I was not joking! I'd rather see the girl ly ing In the cemetery with her dead mother than marry a tarrier like you!" "Oh! All right, Mr. Dunwoodie. I guess ye were right. My pipe would make a dog sick, and it's not fit for the likes of ye." McCabe's brogue grew broad when his anger was high. He lit another pipe, and whistled 'One GlrL" As the odor saluted Dun woodie's nostrils he grew frantic. He must have that pipe and tobacco! It was hours before he could descend for the nooning. He looked at McCabe, who was smoking away as if uncon icious of his presence, and it occurred io Dunwoodie for the first time In his Jfe that MeCah was not a bad sort f man after all. He was clean, sober that is, reasonably so industrious, and he had the best and sunniest na ture in the world. Besides that, he loved Pearl, and Pearl loved him. And If it was not McCabe it might be worse very likely would be. Dunwoodie cleared his throat, "Mac!" he said. "Weil!" ""Lend us your pipe do. I'm perish ing.'' "Will ye l'ave me marry yer daugh ter, Mr. Dunwoodie?" "I'll l'ave you anything!" said the Buffering one. "Put itjlpwn onpaperT' ' . "Anything, anything, if youH only give me a smoke!" "I'll give ye me pipe and 'baccy, said McCabe as solemnly as if he were surrendering the dearest treasures of his life. In three switches of a lamb's tail McCabe was by the old man's side. Dunwoodie was clutching at the pipe. "Sign the consint first," said the art ful Irishman. He had a bit of paper and a pencil in his pocket, and he quickly drew up an article of agree ment. It read as follows: S. S.: Whereas, in the course of human events, I, Michael Jay Dunwoodie, being of sound mind and robust constitution, hereby give consent to the marriage of my daughter Pearl to Patrick McCabe, Esq., late of the County Cavan. Signed M. J. DUNWOODIE. P. M'CABE. This formidable looking document was duly dated, signed and sealed with a gob of brown paint. Soon Dunwoodie was in the ecstasy of smoking the favorite McCabe mix ture. Then he noticed the younger man packing up his tools of trade and making to descend. "Here! Hey! What are you up to now?" he demanded suspiciously. "Go back to work, you young rascal!" "I'm only afther goin' to tell Pearl the good news," said McCabe, with a quiet smile. And when Dunwoodie got home that night the mischief was done and a homemade wedding supper awaited him on the table. Trees Are the Friends of Men. All trees display constantly and broadly their nature and the marks of the class to which they belong. The oak, elm, willow, birch, beech, together with poplar, chestnut and pine, are among our native born trees, and those most familiar to us as the ancient land marks, remembered so well in child hoodthe mulberry, olive, ilex, hem lock, spruce, apple, pear and cherry trees go to make up the almost sacred circle of friends so dear to us because they are monuments of other and hap pier days. The homestead and its associations recall all the dear old trees so fondly cherished in days "lang syne" and so dear to me now that it is pleasant to write what I know of their history, utility and why they are valuable as lumber or the more valuable mechan ical need which they meet. They all afford the human race a certain amount of reliable service and are the founda tion of many industries. They furnish the ships that cover the ocean with white sails and afford easy commu nication with all nations. The arts and sciences depend upon them for substantial aid in completing palaces and churches and all the grand and lasting buildings which have dotted the earth with beautiful cities and comfortable dwelling places for man. And thus we find that the trees are really the steadfast and never failing friends of men. Exchange. Humor end Philosophy By DUNCAN M. SMITH THIS ISOVUCH ABOUT ALLSKL The czar Is full of moldy prunes. Puffed out like some important toad; The "Little Father" now communes Apart and weeps about his load And, ten to one, ere many moons He. like ripe ragweed, will be mowed. Once in the hollow of his hand The czar held mighty things of state, But Nick is likely to be canned, And though he kicks against his fate. He's routed for the better land And measured for his final crate. How sad to view a fallen boss Who doesn't know that he Is dead. Who cannot see his double cross . Or read his finish just ahead. Who thinks he's still a bright tin Joss When to the wolves he'll soon be fed. Perhaps It is from habit's force He blows out heat inflated air And talks about the winning horse As though he owned the county fair. Although his old friend R. E. Morse Is waiting for him on the stair. It must be owned that he dies hard; In dreams once more he leads the trek, But with his hopes of empire marred By Togo from his quarter deck, He soon, all bruised and battle scarred, WiU find the Jap upon his neck. A Bright Future, Nearly every other man you meet has a gold mine that is just ready to pour out its riches in a golden stream if he can just get enough money to erect a mill. Did you ever dream it possible that generous nature could have scattered so many gold mines over the face of the boundless west that are butting up against some dividend paying mine and waiting for the mill to enrich the stockholders far beyond the dreams of avarice? Hope springs eternal in the human breast, but mills do not spring up that way. They cost money. That is where the promoter comes in and where the trusting, breathless investor too many times gets off. Diplomat, "It must be embarrassing," said the man who was trying to find out all about the census taker's business, "to walk up to a woman and ask her how old she is." "I should think it would be," replied the man of statistics. "But you have to do it." "Oh, no, not me. I am too gallant for that. I get the same information by asking her how young she is." Cheaper, To summer In a swell resort Is more or less a treat. But it Is rather costly sport; Tour money has winged feet. And so the fellow who is wise Will buy some drug store tan And for his breezes compromise On an electric fan. One Great Benefit, "Here is a new cult that believes fasting will cure all diseases."

' Those who make no sacrifice receive no appreciable blessing. This is the law of grace. This is the law of jus tice. Rev. Father Haslam, Roman Catholic, Chicago. Making tbe Best of Tilings. You never make the best of things until you make the best out of things or, better still, until you make things the best. Rev. Frank Newhall White, Congregationalist, Chicago. Expressions of Gratltnde. High thinking, noble living, humble searching for the true life these are the expressions of gratitude that are most pleasing to God. In them is the hope of the nation. Rabbi Stern, Washington. Mnsle of Onr Mres. Life's music is never in the white keys nor black, but in the soul that sweeps them with skilled fingers. Rail not at the keys, but gird your soul to the divine mastery. Rev. Gardiner S. Eldridge, Methodist, Brooklyn. A Church's Strength. The strength of the church is not merely in the foundation. It is In the superstructure, not merely in the grav ity of faith which holds the building to the ground, but in the cohesion of love, which binds its parts together. Rev. Dr. Harry P. Dewey, Episcopalian, New York. A Definition of Religion. Religion is not a slippered, cushioned, cloistered refuge' from life's turmoil; it is not a sugared hocus pocUs, as the latest religious fad of the boulevards would have us believe; it is not only something to live by, it is something to die for. Rev. Dr. Frank Crane, Unita rian, Worcester, Mass. Soul Introspection. Every man owes it to himself to thoughtfully review life and examine his inmost thoughts. Every man should live for the best that is in him. The duty to do that is an imperative command that thunders loudly through the chambers of conscience. Rev. J. H. Boyd, Presbyterian, Evanston, 111. Responsibility as a Tonic. Observation and experience tell us there is no tonic like responsibility. Men are accountable not simply for the seeds they sow, but for the bundles and sheaves that are reaped, and this thought of responsibility for the har vest sobers men and braces them. Rev. Dr. Newell D wight Hillis, Con gregationalist, Brooklyn. Love's Power. L,ove is a power because it is intense. All other powers fail. Pharaoh had numbers, Alexander had skill, Napo leon had both, yet all three failed in the great expectation of their lives. The kingdoms which they sought to estab lish have vanished from the earth. But Christ adds daily to his conquests through the power of love. Rev. Louis M. Potashinsky, Baptist, Pueblo, Colo. A Christian's Great Doty. Character building is the first great duty of a Christian. An important consideration is to examine the founda tion before beginning to build. Paul covered the ground for all time when he said, "Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." Not only is the development of Christian character demanded of every Christian, but for this every Christian is now held responsible per sonally. Rev. Z. M. Silbaugh, Metho dist, Pittsburg. The Value of Praying. Prayer is the noblest and most sub lime act in which man can be engaged, because it exercises the highest facul ties of the soul, the intellect and the will. It brings us' in communication with the greatest of beings, God him self. It is the channel of heaven's choicest blessings. It gives all access to our heavenly Father at all times, in all places and under all circumstances. In a word, prayer renders us co-operative with our Creator in the moral gov ernment of the world, since many of the events of life are shaped by our entreaties. The affairs of mankind are decreed from all eternity, and the eter nal decrees themselves are determined by the prayers of his servants. Prayer moves the hand that moves the uni verse. Cardinal James Gibbons, Ro man Catholic, Baltimore. Many Incarnations. Incarnation .is limited only by capaci ty to hold the divine. I think of it in this way: Along our 26,000 miles of seacoast how many bays and inlets there are! Each has a separate name, as though each were separate and dis tinct from every other. And yet all are at one with the great ocean that sweeps into them all with its tides. There are countless forms of creation. We give them separate names, as though each were separate and distinct from every other. And yet all are at one with the divine presence that sweeps into them all and fills them as full as each can hold of God's being. In the lower in lets, far down the coasts of creation, he sweeps as force, energy. Into another inlet farther up he sweeps as life as well as force, and there are grasses, trees and the flowers of the field. Near by is another and larger inlet of the an imal world, and here the divine tides of life rise higher. And then still farther up Is the glorious inlet of human souls, and with what a mighty sweep the di vine tides pour in! Here is the highest, holiest incarnation. Here are thought and moral will and noble aspiration. Here the capacity to hold the divine seems to have no limits. Thus is God with us. All these inlets differ only in capacity to hold the divine. God is no more truly in one than in another, but in each there is so much of God as its nature can hold, and in humanity that capacity is at its largest and highest. For that reason humanity is son of God. Rev. Minot Simons, Unitarian, Cleveland, O. Forced to It. Tomson Bobson tells the most im possible fish stories. Jonson Of course.

Relationship Shovrn Between Them and the Pyramids. It is an old saying, and it may be true, that there is nothing new under the sun, but J. B. Schmalz has Just dis covered a remarkable relationship be tween playing cards and certain scien tific records of the pyramid of Cheops. The system by which cards were orig inated and the theory of their inven tion has ever been a mystery, but now Mr. Schmalz has evolved a theory which is so convincing and capable of mathematical demonstration that ev ery lover of cards will be interested. Not all the discoveries can be dis closed here, but an inkling can be de rived from the statement that the card values are based upon the solar year and Its divisions into days, months, seasons and lunar circuits viz, the fifty-two cards in the pack represent the weeks in a year, the twelve picture cards represent the twelve months In the year, the four suits the four sea sons and the thirteen cards In each suit the thirteen lunar circuits in the year. This has great significance when we consider the fact that the perimeter of base of the great pyramid Incorpo rates the days in a solar year (365.24) a hundred times in Inches, or 36,524 Inches. Mr. Schmalz takes up the dimensions of the pyramid and then by calcula tions based on the cards and the known mathematics relative to the pyramid proceeds to show that cards are the original book of record of the pyramid of Cheops. He comes to the conclusion that cards are written in the universal language of symbolism and are therefore the oldest and most remarkable book In man's possession. The author claims to have solved what has hitherto been called an un solvable mystery. Boston Globe. The Camera as a Historian. Photography has recently been em ployed in Switzerland to obtain exact pictures of the glaciers as they now are. In future times the terminal mo raines can be compared with those of the present day. Whatever may be the cause, the fact seems to be that glaciers all over the world are shrink ing; they were once certainly far lar ger in Switzerland than they are now. The ice caps round the poles are also growing less. As to the north pole, this was pretty well known some time ago, and now the antarctic explorers report that the ice fields round the southern pole are also far less than they were : when Ross made his ant arctic voyage sixty years ago. When the reasons for this decrease of glacia tion are known, a clew may be found for the occurrence of the glacial epoch, 80,000 or 100,000 years ago. London Telegraph. Desert Volcanoes. Another feature of the remoter his tory of the Sahara is now revealed. We know that the desert abounds with traces of an ancient system of irriga tion which the late Cardinal Lavi gerie contemplated restoring. We also know now, on the authority of the eminent explorers Foureau and Geutil, that the desert is thickly studded with extinct volcanoes, ancient and modern.' The basaltic remains of the Grand Erb and the many basaltic peaks of the Adrar are mentioned. But the most re markable case is that of the Air dis trict, where over a territory ninety three miles in extent many volcanic peaks are met with, recent enough to show the craters well preserved. Lon don Globe. Cork Tree In Arizona. O. E. Sowers, the mining man, has just come in from Pinal county and has brought with him a sample of cork bark taken from a tree on the Irions ranch. It is perhaps the only cork tree in Arizona and one of the very few cork trees in the United States, but the thrifty condition of it proves that cork can be produced here. This tree was planted by Mr. Irions about nine years ago, is about twenty-five or thir ty feet tall and is about nine inches in diameter. That is as tall as the aver age tree ever gets, but at a great age trees sometimes reach a diameter of five feet It is understood that the plant was brought from somewhere in South America. Arizona Republican. A Voice From the Dead. A baggageman on the Hannibal di vision of the Burlington was hauling a corpse into his car, and Imagine his feelings when he heard a strange, un natural voice coming from the oblong box, saying, "Let me out of here!" When he recovered from his first fright he ran for his conductor, who arrived just in time to hear the uncanny sound. The whole train crew was call ed, and a brave engineer investigated. Sitting near the coffin was a small square box. Listening, the engineer heard a scratching and again the voice, "Let me out of here." The smaller box was opened, and a little green par rot popped out. Kansas City Journal. The Kaiser's Inconsistency. The German emperor, who was the first to call on Europe to beware of the "yellow peril," has now decorated Prince Arisugawa of Japan with the Black Eagle, just as he also conferred this high order, the Garter of Prussia, on Lord Roberts after previously Eounding a loud note of alarm as to the British danger to the Boers. But there are some monarchs and statesmen Bismarck was among them who think that inconsistency may sometimes rise to th dignity of a positive political virtue. London Chronicle.
