"I am tired of seeing that ererlast Ing mackerel brought in for break fast." grumbled a boarder, "and I in tend to speak to the landlady about it.'" Some of his fellow victims ap plauded, bat most of them doubted his courage. The matter was under dis cussion when the landlady appeared. "Miss Prunella," began the bold boarder, "I was about to say in regard to the mackerel that we desire a change." "It's good mackerel," responded the landlady grimly, "and there will be no change." "Then, for heaven's sake," resumed the bojd boarder, "order the girl to bring It In tail first for awhile." . . NEXT DOOR. We saw the tapers burn In the home so close to ours; But, however our hearts might yearn. We dared not send our flowers. "He will not understand." we said. "Our loving- thought of his loved dead." O city, thus you hide The pity in every heart! Those who are at our side You sunder a world apart. A little barrier built of stone, And my neighbor grieves alone, alone. Smart Set Got It Cheap. "A corruptionist," said a senator, "once entered a voter's house. In the voter's absence he pleaded his cause to the man's wife. Finally, spying a wretched kitten on the floor, he said: " 'I'll give you $25 forHhat animal, ma'am.' "She accepted th6se terms. "The corruptionist, thrusting the kit ten In his pocket, rose to go. At the door he said: " 'I do Jiope you can persuade your husband to vote for me, ma'am.' " 'I'll try to,' said the woman, 'though Jim's a hard one to move when his mind's made up; but, anyhow, you've gat a real cheap kitten there. Your opponent was In yesterday and gave me $50 for its brother.' " Orders Must Be Obeyed. "A martinet," said a military officer, "is generally a fool. "They tell a story of a martinet of the civil war a captain. Ke got orders from headquarters one day that his men were to change their undershirts. " 'But, captain,' said a sergeant, to whom this order was communicated, 'the' men only have one undershirt each.' "The captain frowned. Then he said: " 'No matter. Military commands must be obeyed. Let the men change undershirts with each other.' " He Didn't Buy. Among thft. older rank,, of San Fran ciscans, says the Argonaut, there is a citizen eminent in the world of finance and liberal enough in all large ways who nevertheless is a little "near" when it comes to trifles. He is ready enough to accept those courtesies which still mark the meetings and greetings of the old style San Francis can, but he has rarely been known himself to stand treat. Recently he came upon a crony loitering, as if waiting for somebody, near the en trance to 'a well known bar. "Hello, Bob!" he said. "What are you doing here?" It was an opportunity long de sired, and the gentleman addressed made the most of it. "Well, John," he replied, "I'm just, waiting round for somebody to come along and buy me a drink." "All right," was the reply, "I'll I'll Join you!" A Forecast. An Irish fireman applied for a place as engineer. He answered the officials severe questions during the examina tion In a satisfactory manner until one asked, "Suppose you were running your engine sixty miles an hour on a single track and, running around a curve, saw another engine come to ward you at the same speed and only a short distance away, what would you do?" "I'd bless myself." Lippincott's. Burr's Fierce Retort. Aaron Burr at one time attended a church in Albany where all the aris tocracy "of the town was to be found on each Sunday. Soon he fell into the practice of being late, and finally the wsfrdens of the church asked the min ister to reprimand him openly. On the next Sunday when Burr entered late as usual the minister stopped in the middle of his sermon and said, "Sir, I shall appear at the judgment seat against you!" Burr gazed at him placidly and an swered, "Sir, in all my practice I have found that class of criminals that turns state's evidence the most to be despised." There were no more public reprimands in that church. A Gam, of Chance. The belated husband carefully In serted his key in the' lock, slowly opened the door and entered the dark hallway on tiptoe. Shutting the door noiselessly behind him, he turned to ascend the stairs, when the . form of his wife loomed up before him and he started back. "Oh, ifs you, dear?" he blurted, smil ing guiltily. "And you haven't .retired, worrying-about mef Keally, dear, I had no Idea it was bo late. I'm very sorry, but you see," he went on to ex plain , gaining confidence through his wife's silence "you see, dear, I be came so interested La a little game of whist tthat I didn't hear the hours strike on the clock at the cl" . "Go to bed!"' WithouT another word be obeyed. She stood below; aadwatched fhim sheepishly ascend the stairs to his room.. As his door closed after him the hall clock' chimed the hour, and, smiling grimly, she emitted a deep sigh and' murmured: " "Three! Ifs- a lucky, thing I got In first!" '" An American, while visiting Kings ton, Canada, saw flames Issuing, from a house he chanced tot be passing at noontime. Bushing around the corner, he burst .into a .fire! engine station, shouting "Firer . At his entrance and cry an old man, the 'only occupant of the station -who gat resiling u newspaper, slowly arose, carefully deposited his paper on the chair and hobbled over to a desk, on which was a large book. "Now," said he, taking up a pencil and opening this volume, while the American stared iu amazement, "wot's the street and number?' "I don't know, but Ifs just around the corner!" "Well, you'd better go back 'and find out the number," advised the old man, shutting the book. "When the boys git back from dinner and hear there's a fire, they'll be pretty anxious to know just where it is!" Embraced Them All. "Nowhere, not even in Russia, are the girls so pretty as in America," said a visiting Russian. "It seems wrong and stingy that a man can only marry one of them. Every American, sur rounded by all this beauty, must envy the snap that a friend of mine In Rus sia had. 'So you a rer engaged,' a man said to my friend, to one of the beau tiful Vromsky triplets, ehr Tes,' my friend replied. 'But how can you tell them apart?? the man asked. 'I don't try,' said my friend." Hit the Wrong Target. A Richmond man bought a turkey from old Uncle Ephralm and asked him in making the purchase if it was a tame turkey. "Oh, yais, sir; it's a tame tu'key ol right" "Now, Ephraim, are you sure It's a tame turkey?" "Oh, yais, sir: dere's no so't o doubt 'bout dat. It's a tame tu'key ol right" He consequently bought the turkey, and a day or two later when eating it he came across several shot Later on, when he met old Ephraim on the street he said: "Well, Ephraim, you told me that was a tame turkey, but I found some shot in It when I was eating it" "Oh, dat war a tame tu'key ol right," was Uncle Ephraim's reiterated rejoin der, "but de fac' is, boss, I's gwine to tell yer in confidence dat dem dere shot was intended for me." Quite Good Enough. She had just received a message through the telephone and, still hold ing the receiver to her ear, said to her husband: "The Thompsons want us to dine with them ' tonight Is it good enough?" Before he could speak over the wire the answer came: "Yes; quite good enough.' Come along." An Ideal of Patriotism. Let our object be our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country. And, by the blessing of God, may that country itself become a vast and splendid monument not of op pression and terror, but of wisdom of peace and of liberty, upon which the world may gaze with admiration for ever. Daniel Webster. Easy Bookkeeping. A young husband, finding that his pretty but rather extravagant wife was considerably exceeding their in come, brought her home one day a neat little account book. This he pre sented to her. together with $50. "Now, my dear," be said, "I want you to put dpwn what I give you on this side, and on the other write down the way it goes, and in a fortnight I will give you another supply." A couple of weeks later he asked for the book. "Oh, I have kept the account all right!" said his wife. "See here it is." On one page was inscribed, "Re ceived from Willie $50," and on the opposite page was the comprehensive little summary, "Spent it all." Calming Him Down. "If women just had a little tact and didn't fly to pieces their "own selves when their husbands git to jawin' and tearin around, there'd be less trouble In fam'lies," said Mrs. Grim to a neigh bor. "I suppose that's so," replied the neighbor. "I know 'tis," replied Mrs. Grim. "Do you suppose I lose my head and my tongue and go all to pieces and say things I'm' sorry for afterward when Grim gets into one of his tantrums? Well, I don't I just keep cool and calm him down." "How do you calm him down?" "Well, sometimes with a stick and ain with a broom handle, or mebbe I'll grab up a pall o' water and douse it all over him. There's plenty o' ways to calm a man down if a woman will only keep cool herself and try 'em. A Real Surprise. " . "Where are you goln ma?" asked the youngest of the five children. "I'm going to a surprise party, my dear," answered the mother. jVAre we all goin too?" "No, dear. You weren't invited.w After a few moments' deep thought: "Say, ma, then don't you think they'd be lots more surprised if you did take Pity tbe Poor Bachelor. (Memphis Scimetar.) "Bachelors should not, be taxed.

Roosevelt wrote Harriman a let ter, inviting him over to discuss the railroad pha.ce of his message to congress. "We are practical men," quoth Teddy to the railroad king. And "practical man," Har riman proceeded to get up a cam paign fund of $260,000 for practi cal man" Roosevelt Haskell is accused of restrain ing his attorney general from bar ring a Standard Oil subsidiary concern from laying pipelines in Oklahoma. "Practical man" Roosevelt's administration had given the Prairie State Oil Qom pany authority to enter Oklaho ma. Governor Haskell did noth ing more than restrain a gentle man who sought to restrain a com pany that was working under the authority of the federal govern ment. Haskell never invited over one of the "practical men" of the Standard Oil to discuss his con templated action. He never re ceived pecuniary favors from Standard Oil for "services ren dered." He merely acted in ac cordance with the wishes of the administration, and in the interest of his fellow-citizens many of whom would have been thrown in to bankruptcy with an inadequate supply of pipe lines to market their oil. "Practical Man" Roosevelt, who accepted Harri man's money to se cure his election, complains of the moat inhis brother's eyes. Forgetting for the moment that Roosevelt is president, and that Haskell is only a governor of a sovereign state, in the eyes of common honesty, whose crime is the greater that of the honored accuser, or that of the humble ac cused? If Haskell has erred, his crime is small in comparison with that or his accuser. When truth gets a hearing such men as Roosevelt, who call their brethren liars and slander them for alleged misdeed small in com parison with their own batant transgressions, will be repudiated by honest citizens. A blustering, blatherskitish four-flusher cannot hold the " re spect and trust of plain, honest men for long and these are some of the distinguishing attributes of J the president of the Republican party. . '.. New York Larger in Population Than Sixteen Different States and Territories. (National' Magazine) Some one who is apt at figures has shown that New York City today is larger in population than sixteen dinerent States and Ter ritories, and further that within a radius of twenty miles are living over 10,000,000 people. The improved methods of trans portation, which are fast widening the limits of New York's business a - i energy, win soon emorace a ra dius of fifty miles, within which are located 2,364 different towns and cities whose total population, with that' of Greater New York, is equal to fully one-fifth of the population of the United States. When it is realized that the per manent increase in population of New York last year was about 400,000, a city the size of Cleve land, Ohio, some idea of the tre mendous growth of the city can be appreciated. One of the as surances ot a continued ana per manent growth is to be found in the 50,000 marriages that take place every year, . .f. j : Besides this permanent increase New York is entertaining an av erage of over 150,000 transient visitors every day, and at some seasons, wnen tne notei accommo dations are taxed to their utmost, fully 300,000 people are chronicled .1 1 .4 J in tneir nome papers as spena- HDg a few days in New York on pleasure and business.

(The Robesonian) Having very recently visited your growing town, when I drove over some of the country roads adjacent to Lumberton, I want to compliment the citizens of your county on the progress they are making on public roads. There cannot be any doubt that money invested in road building will bring better results than any other investmeut, and the whole community is benefited. Good roads means that farms are more valuable and distances are shorten ed. In fact good roads make life in the country worth living.

TaftSays "Liar" Twice and "Fool" 0nce. Table Rock, Neb., Oct. 1. Judge William H. Taft used this strong language here in his labor speech today: Now some ordinary cheap com mon liar has devoted himself to the business of running around the country and saying that I am in favor of paying a laboring man a dollar a day and I have said that that is enough. I was at the head of the Panama canal for four years and we pay steam shovel men down there $250 a month. As I figure that out it makes a little more than one dollar a day. Any body that says I ever made that remark is a liar and the man who believes him is a fool. Why un der Heaven I should say that I cannot understand, or in what connection or under what circum stances.

Golden Text. tTher hath not failed one word of His good promise." I Kings 8:56, Time. About the middle of David's reign. Not long after the last lesson. Persons. Nathan- the prophet. now first mentioned. David the king. Place. Jerusalem. THE LESSON PLAN 1. David's desire to build a tern- ole for worship of God. Vs 1, 2. Nathan favors the idea. 2. God has another purpose. The desire was right but God has another way of accomplishing it Vs. 3-10. 3. God promises David greater things. A spiritual temple. The seed of David to reign forever. Vs. 10, 12, 14. 4. The temple which David de sires is to be built by his son. Vs 11-14. God promises to be with them as he is with the father. C0MMENTATIVE V. 4. Of David's purpose to build a house God took notice, and he was well pleased with it, as appears (1 Kings 8:18). Thou didst well that it was in thine heart; yet he forbade him to go on withhis purpose. David is a man of war, and he must enlarge the borders of Israel, by carrying on their con quests. David is a sweet psalmist and he must prepare psalms for the use of the temple when it is built, settle the course of the Levites; but his son's gen ius will better suit for building the house, and he will have a bet ter treasure to bear the charge of it. Matt. Henry. V. 4 Oftimes our thoughts. although springing from motives of real religion, are not God's thoughts; and tta lesson here con veyed is most important of not taking our own impressions, how ever earnestly and piously derived. as necessarily in accordance with the will of God, but testing them by his revealed word, in short, of making our test in each case not subjective feeling, but objective revelation . Edersheim. V. 4. To serve God in God's way, and to give up our cherished plans, is not easy; but David sets us an example of the simpleheart ed, cheerful acquiescence in a Providence that thwarted darling designs. There is often much self-will in what looks like enthu siastic perseverance in some form of service. Maclaren. V. 8. In the fervency of .his aspirations, in the closeness of his communion with God, in the firm ness of his trust, in the strength of his love, David was unrivaled by any human character of the Old Testament. No man ever touched humanity at so many points," and the many-sidedness of his character, and the variety of his experience, which qualified him for practical sympathy with all ranks and all conditions of life among his subjects, made him again a type of him whom "it be hoved in all things to be made like unto hisbretheren." He was an eminent example of the hu man soul as a recipient of the Divine illumination, preparing the way for the highest example of all, Kirkpatrick. V. 10. God must build us a house before we can build one to him. It was not that David was first to rear a house for God, but that God would rear one for David. Edersheim. V. 12. David is but a very con spicuous example of a law which runs through all our work for God. None of us are privileged to perform completed tasks. One soweth and another reapeth." We do our little bit of the great work which lasts on through the ages. and, having inherited unfinished tasks, transmit them to those who come arter us. it is privilege enough for any Christian to lay foundations on which coming days may build. We are like the workers on some great cathedral, which was begun long before the present generation of masons were born, and will not be finished un til long after they have dropped trowel and mallet from their dead hands. The greater our aims, the less share has each man in their attainment. But the division of labor is. the multiplication of joy. and all who have shared in tbe toil will be united in the final triumph. Maclaren. SUGGESTIVE. Tne teacning or tne lesson is along two lines; the bearing of what is recorded on the growth of the nation, and its revelation pf the character of David under the new tests to which it is submit ted. 1. Consider how much. Da vid has already accomplished , in unifying the people and the influ ence of his victories; the signifa cance of the capital, and its estab lishment as the religious as .well as civil center of the nation. . 2. Study tbe bearing and states man ship of the new, project; the tendency it would have to fix per manently the religious center, es pecially if, as was evidentlyvplan ned, it was made so costly and ex haustive of the resources of the people that no rival to it could' arise: the manner in which it com manded itrelf to Nathan. 3. Inquire into the grounds of the postponement of the plan, the considerations that made it prema- ture: ine larger security in tne proposal -to make the monarchy hereditary and to reserve this work for David's son. 4. Go carefully over the lesson especially David's response to the divine message for his personal characteristics, particularly for the sense that has grown upon him of God as the Almighty, the Deliv erer, as One with whom man- may have personal relations, and whose faithfulness can be depended up- m m on. Merrill. ILLUSTRATIVE. Starvinr the Soot. It is well to provide liberally for spiritual needs, by building churches and maintaining them. Ward McAl lister, once the leader ofNNew York's "Four hundred," named $169,000 a year as absolutely nec essary for the best style of living. He supported his estimate by giv ing the elements of this large ex penditure in detail. But in this exhibit there was less than one dollar for soul and mind to every one hundred and seventy dollars for the body. A Fruitful Disappointment. An earnest woman of England longed to go as a foreign missionary. She made the tender of her servi ces and was bitterly disappointed in being rejected 1 'Alas I my bar- ey loaves are worthless," she cried. But her grief touched the heart of a talented but careless young no bleman. He conferred with her and she succeeded in winning him to Christ and to the work of mis- sions. He, in turn, won remark able victories for Christ far greater than she could have hoped to win. Jacob Sleeper, of Boston is known and revered as one of the founders of Boston University. The great building on Somerset street is cal- ed Jacob Sleeper Hall." in his honor, lhe Kev. James wa in states that when he was a young man he began studying for the ministry, but was compelled to give it up by the failure of his eyesight. He turned to business and became very successful. Amas sing great wealth, he gave liberal ly to the Church and to many charities, and supported eight or ten ministers all the time himself, "each one of whom doubtless did more good than Jacob Sleener himself could possibly have done if he had gone into the ministry and given his life to what would on the face of it, seem a more self denying experience." Jacob Sleeper's life was an illustrious success. Being dead, he yet speak eth through Boston University and the thousands of it graduates. Through his noble benefactions he will be a living influence, doubt less to the end of time. A Beautltnl Toast. On a grand day in the olef chiv alric times, when the lady of each knightly heart was pledged by name, when it came to St. Leon's turn, he lifted the sparking cup on high and gave them this: I drink to one," he said, "whose image never may depart, deep carved on the human heart, ' till memory is dead."
