A SLIGHT MISUNDER
STANDING.
Night coming on, the storm was in
creasing and some of the deck fittings
had already been swept overboard, when
the captain decided to send up a dis
tress signal. The rocket was already lit
and about to ascend, when a solemn
faced passenger stepped up.
“Cap’n, ” said he, “I’d be the last
man on earth to cast a damper on any
man’s patriotism, but seems to me this
here’s no time for.celebratin’ an’ settin’
off fireworks.’’—Christian Herald.
In a salmon cannery in Western Can
ada there hangs this:
The Ten Commandments.
1. Don’t lie. It wastes my time and
yours. I am sure to catch you in tho
end, and that is the wrong end. •
2. Watch your work, not the clock. A
long day’s work makes a long day short;
and a short day’s work makes iny face
long.
3. Give me more than I expect, and I
will give you more than you expect. I
can afford to increase your pay if you
increase my profits.
4. You owe so much to yourself you
can not afford to owe anybody else. Keep
out of debt, or keep out of my shops.
5. Dishonesty is never an accident.
Good ‘ men, like good women, never see
temptation when they meet it.
6. Mind your own business and in tiinjs
you’ll have a business of your own th
mind.
7. Don’t do anything here which hurtp
your self-respect. An employee who is
willing to steal for me is willing to steal
from me.
8. It is none of my business what you
do at night. But if dissipation affects
what you do the next day, and you d
half as much as I demand, you’ll last
half as long as you hoped.
9. Don’t tell me what I’d like to hear,
but what I ought to hear. I don’t want
a valet for my vanity, nut one for my
dollars.
10. Don’t kick if I kick. If you’rp
worth while correcting you’re worth
while keeping. I don’t waste time cut
ting specks out of rotten apples.

EXPECTING IT.
A church worker in a small town was
sent to .the city to procure illuminated
texts with which to decorate the church
for Christmas. Shortly after his arrival
in the city he was horrified to receive
the following telegram signed by his
wife:
“Another—unto us a child is born,
nine feet long by two feet wide. ’ ’
HORRID.
“I didn’t see you at either Sue’s or
Helen’s party last week,” said one.
“I was ill and couldn’t go to either,”
replied the - other.
“Well, at Sue’s they talked about you
a whole lot.”
“The horrid things.”
“But at Helen’s they didn’t mention
your name. ’ ’

WISE OLD PARTY.
New Boarder—My good lady, the last
place I was the landlady wept when I
left.
Landlady—Yes, but I won’t. I always
collect in advance.—Judge.
FATE.
There once was a girl named Maloney,
Who swore that her blood was pure
Spanish.
“The man that I wed
Must be Scottish, ’ ’ she said.
(She eloped with a fellow named Cohen.)
CURE INDICATED.
Fond Mother—To be frank, doctor,
the poor girl has been eating her heart
out.
Doctor—Ah, that’s very imprudent.
I ’ll have to order a change of diet—Bos
ton Transcript.
A SONG OF HOPE.
Hope puts a song into the heart,
Hope makes a light when the night is
dark;
Hope gives strength when the flesh is
weak,
Hope is an anchor to those who seek;
Hope chases all our fears away,
Hope brightens up the darkest day;
Hope dries tho mourner’s flowing tears.
Hope, hope endures through all the years.
