shoes!” Something must be done, but
what? Should he go home? No, for
he could not come back. And so he
joined the cry, “Girls’ shoes’ Girls’
shoes! Yes, I shall wear girls’ shoes
all this school year, and I will beat all
you boys who wear boys’ shoes, in the
examinations.” And he did. —Chris-

VACATION DAYS.
“Hurrah!” the young idea shouts,
“We’ve got vacation now;
School’s all shut up and over books
We won’t have any row;
No lessons and no teachers, too!
For two months that’s all done,
We’ve just to play the livelong day—
Oh, won’t we have the fun?”
“Thank fate,” the tired otu teacher
breathes,
“Vacation’s here at last;
For two months of delicios rest,
To blot the year that’s past;
No idle, bad, nerve-racking boys,
No pedagogic crimes,
But just to take a restful trip.
Oh, we will have good times!”
Alas!” the seasoned parent wails,
“Vacation time is here!
I wish the schools would open keep
For each day in the year.
For two months there will be an end
To any rest for me;
The kids will worry me to death —-
My finish 1 can see.”
TWO FATHERS.
J. T. McLarty, of Oklahoma, tells
about two sets of boys whose respect
ive fathers were neighbors of his. One
father believed in what he called per
sonal liberty. He raised two boys
without any educational advantages.
Today they are poor mechanics barely
making ends meet, and are doing all
they can to advance the cause of pro
hibition. Their father who possessed
a brilliant intellect and had a promis
ing future, filled a premature drunk
ard’s grave. He had a neighbor that
was called a plodding fanatic on pro
hibition. He also had two boys—just
about average boys. He set high ideals
for those boys and gave them good
opportunities although he had to work
very nard to do so. One of these boys
is in the United States Senate, the
other is an eminent physician. The
father lived to a ripe old age and all
who knew him mourned his death. I
could give hundreds of instances in
my forty-seven years of observation
that seem to me ought to convince any
person that is unselfish, any man that
doesn’t put a dollar in his own pocket
above the character or soul of his
neighbor. Prohibition that prohibits
is coming. It is seldom that an old
fellow changes his views, but sixty in
one hundred of the boys that will be
come voters in the next ten years will
be prohibitionists.
TED AND THE WOODPILE.
“I’ll be glad when I get that whole
pile of wood in. Then I’ll be through
with it, won’t I, mother?”
“Nd, Ted; you know I shall want
you to carry out the ashes after the
wood is burned up,” answered the
mother.
“Then I’ll be through with it,
mother.”
“No, I think not,” answered mother,
while Ted’s eyes grew big with won
der. “You will scatter the ashes in
the corn field and father will plow
them in the spring. Then you will
help him plant the corn, you know.
The corn will grow, eating the ashes
and ground about it, and by and by
you will eat the sweet corn.”
“Oh, we’ll sort of eat the wood our
selves, and that will be the end of the
old wood pile.”
“Not quite,” said mother. “There
will be cobs left and stalks of corn.
We’ll feed them to the pigs or to the
cows, and that will give us meat or
milk.”
“Well, I never knew before that
there was so much in a wood pile,”
said Ted. —Exchange.

FRANKLIN ASKING FOR WORK.
When quite a youth, Franklin went
to London, entered a printing-office,
and inquired if he could get employ
ment as a printer. “Where are you
from?” inquired the foreman. “Amer
ica,” was the reply. “Ah,” said the
foreman, “from America! A lad from
America seeking employment as a
printer! Well, do you really under
stand the art of printing? Can you set
type?” Franklin stepped to one of the
cases, and, in a very brief space, set
up the following passage from the
first chapter of the gospel of John:
“Nathaniel saith unto him, can any
good thing come out of Nazareth?
Philip saith unto him, come and see!”
It was done so quickly, ’so accurately,
and contained a delicate reproof so ap
propriate and powerful, that it at once
gave him character and standing with
all in the office.
COWBOY LIFE FOR YOUNG MORSE.
While Chares E. Morse, ex-banker,
now United States convict, drags out
the weary days of his long imprison
ment, sick, miserable, hopeless, the
announcement comes from New York
that his son, Erwin E. Morse, has chos
en the freedom of ranch life as an oc
cupation. Young Morse graduated
from Yale in June, and was offered a
position of trust in a New York office,
but the lowing herds and prancing
bronchos of the wild free West proved
more alluring. He is located on a Wy
oming ranch thirty miles square. His
father thoroughly approved of the
choice.
It is estimated that there are fifteen
thousand Baptist churches in the
United States that have no Sunday
school. Here is a great missionary
field within our own borders.
THE MANY USAGES OF WATER.
Science tells us that the world on which
we live, is composed of one-fifth land
and four-fifths water, and that the us
ages of water are unlimited. A small
stream can be harnessed and made to
develop power for turning the wheels
of the largest manufacturing plants. A
few gallons of water can be converted
into steam and made to run the most
powerful engines and machinery; and yet,
withal, these accomplishments are small
and insignificant in comparison with the
power of the water from the Shivar
Spring, Shelton, S. C. This water differs
from the ordinary waters, in that it pos
sesses peculiar curative qualities that Mr.
Shivar guarantees to relieve, or cure,
any case of indigestion, dyspspsia, or
other stomach disorders. Here is a won
derful offer.
If you suffer with indigestion, dyspep
sia, or liver and kidney trouble, write
a personal letter to N. F. Shivar, pro
prietor of the Shivar Springs, Shelton,
S. C., enclosing $2.00 as a deposit, prompt
ly upon receipt of which the Spring will
ship you two, five-gallon qemijohns of
this celebrated curative water, on a guar
antee that you will be benefited or cured,
cr your money will be returned in full
on receipt of the two empty demijohns
and your statement that you were not
benefited.
The fact that this water has such ex
ceptionally wonderful curative powers,
has led Mr. Shivar to adopt this method
of guaranteeing its beneficial effects and
giving to the suffering public the greatest
remedy ever discovered for diseases of
the stomach, bowels and kidneys. Any
one accepting Mr. Shivar’s offer will nev
er regret it, but be loud in the praise
of Shivar Mineral Water.
