LET THEM PASS; FORGET
THEM.
(By Benjamin B. Keech.)
Never mind the things you’ve heard.
Don’t repeat a single word—
Let them pass; forget them.
Do not mind them, they are not
Worthy of a moment’s thought;
They have now much mischief wrought.
Let them pass; forget them.
Never mind what someone said;
They were words by malice fed—
Let them pass; forget them.
They were unkind and untrue
And deserve no thought from you.
Be among the very few
Who will never mind them.
Lot the other people say
Words unkind from day to day—
Let them pass; forget them.
Balance matters with them; give
Kind words for unkind ones; live
As you know you ought; forgive—
Let them pass; forget them.
Ami if you have said a word
Harsh, unkind, and someone heard,
Pass it not; but mind it.
Sow another kind of seed,
Do another kind of deed.
Maybe someone’s heart will bleed—
If you do not mind it.
IN LIQUOR.

“Did you ever see an oyster
In liquor t” asked the prude.

“I’ve seen an oyster stewed.”
MRS. NEWED’S QUANDARY.
Mayor Bice, at a June wedding in
New Haven, told an appropriate story.
“All these young ladies here,” ho
I said, “will be married some day. They
will all, some day—for race suicide is
the thing no longer—be in the quandary
of Mrs. Newed. Let them not, however,
emulate her.
“Mrs. Newed sat one day in a public
library, turning over the leaves of the
directory. An old gentleman entered.
He, too, wanted to .consult the direc
tory, and he frowned on seeing it in
use. Then he began to pace the floor
impatiently.
“Two or three other persons entered.
They also wanted the directory, .but Mrs.
Newed still continued to turn the leaves.
“Finally a business man entered. He
looked at Mrs. Newed and at the line
of waiting people, and, taking in the
situation at a glance, ho approached the
young woman and said politely:
“PLAIN BILL” HOWARD,
Member of Congress for the
Fifth Georgia District—
He’s Making Good.
“ ‘Pardon me, but I, as a business
man, am accustomed to consulting the
directory almost daily. I perceive you
are a novice, madam. Let me help you
in your search.’
‘ ‘ ‘ Oh, thank you! ’ ’ said Mrs. Newed,
and with a smile and a look of relief
she surrendered the huge volume.
‘Thank you ever so much, sir. I am
trying to find a nice name for my
baby.’ ”
MORE EQUIPMENT.

“Why don’t your daughters take their

QUALIFIED.

“Yes, he has been mentioned for Am

“Indeed! I didn’t suppose he had
the necessary ability.”
“Mercy, yes! Why, ho pours tea
beautifully! ”
THE SPIRIT THAT WINS.
Two men were standing beside a frozen
pond one day last winter, watching the
skaters. Among the pleasure-seekers was
a very small boy so evidently a begin
ner that his frequent mishaps attracted
the attention of the men. No sooner
had he gained his feet after one fall
than down he went again.
“Why, child,” called.one of the men,
“you are getting all bumped up. I
wouldn’t stay on the ice and keep falling
down so. Come over here with us and
watch the others.”
The tears of the last fall, which had
been a hard one, were still rolling over
the plump cheeks, rosy in the cold, but
the child looked indignantly from his
adviser to the shining steel runners on
his feet.
“I didn’t get new skates to give up
with,” he retorted. “I got ’em to learn
how with.”
“Good,” laughed the other man; “go
at it again. You ’ll succeed. ’ ’
“Yes,” said his companion, as they
walked away, “and if he keeps that
spirit he ’ll succeed in bigger things than
in learning to skate.”
THE BIG LOSER.
(From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
“How is your son?”
“Don’t mention him! I’ve cast him
off.”
“Good gracious! What has he done!”
“Done! There’s no end to his ex
travagance. ’ ’
“Eh! What form does it take?
Yacht, automobile, aeroplane!”
‘ ‘ No. Cliicken farm. ’ ’
HANDY.
From the Toledo Blade.
Agent—There is the motor car you
want. If anything goes wrong with the
mechanism you don’t have to crawl under
the car to put it right.
Customer—You don’t?
Agent—If the slightest thing goes
wrong with the machinerv the ear
instantly turns upside down.
