To live content with small
means,
To seek elegance rather
than luxury
And refinement rather than
fashion.
To be worthy, not respecta
ble, And wealthy, not rich, to
study hard,
Think quietly,
Talk gently,
Act frankly,
To listen to stars and birds,
To babes and sages with
open heart,
To hear all cheerfully,
To do all bravely,
J To await occasions,
To hurry never;
In a word to let the spiritu
al, unbidden and un
conscious, grow up
through the common;
This is, to be my spmphony.

delightfully entertained the Brid

lovely home on Main St. Tuesday
evening from 8 to 11 o'clock. The
home was attractive throughout
with decorations of Powsettas
and Long Leaf Pine, and the tally
cards were suggestive also to the
Christmas season. Five tables
were placed in the library and
parlor for auction bridge. At the
close of the game, the hostess as
sisted by her young daughters,

delicious refreshments, consisting
of fruit salad, creamed oysters,

very much of GoVernor Craig's
tender course, just doubted it.
But Mr. Bryant heard a strajge
voice on the streets. It was the
tuneful talk of an did client whom
he knew to be serving a term.
Bryant followed the train of the
voice and lost it. But he knew
where the voice , should be and
found it. It was Dan Andrews,
rerson county man or money,
serving six months for violation
of the prohibition law. Mr. Bry
ant had made a manful fight to
save him trom punishment and
failed. The second battle for par
don of Andrews again failed Gen
eral Bryant. But the governor's
order let Andrews out and he vis
ited his family and old friends.
Then Bryant was converted. Men
like Dan Andrews could go home

HATS. :
AN INTERESTING ARTICLE WRITTEN BY MR.
W.T. SWANSON.
Men's hats are made to protect
bald arid empty heads. Women's
hats are made to look at. By force
of custom men's hats must come
off in all assemblies, and as, wo
men's hats are made for display
they should come off too, when
the display is over.
All seeing people desire to look
at a preacher, when he is deliver
ing a sermon, and he wants the
people to gaze at him for thirty
or forty minutes. The man of
God labors much to prepare a ser
mon for .his ; congregation, and
hopes to arouse them to a higher,
sense of duty, but how can a ser
mon reach the hardhearted sinner
behind a big hat, when the sermon
has to travel through an aviary,
a flower garden, a ribbon factory,
and a millinery store ? How can a
wretched man repent of his sins,
