Old people have faults, like
children,, bat they have• no
mothers\o forgive them.
Young people, should re
member that you cannot trust
a man simply because you
see the golden rule pinned on
the front of his hat.
These days we sit on tfye
sunny side of the car, walk on
the sunny side ‘of the 'street,
and sit in the sunfly window
of the house. Let us also
walk on the sunny side of life
^and see the sunny side of the
disjointed things of life.
Supplement what the chil
dren learn at^school with read
ing lessons at home. Read
ing aloud, is good, will im
prove the reading of the read
er, and give information to
members of the home circle
'who may be obliged to work
with their hands in the even
ing.
When tempted to criticize
the food on the home table, re
member the adage that silence
is golden. Critizism is never
so exasperating to the house
keeper as at the table, where,
in spite of hard work and wor
ry, things will occasionally
appear that are not as she had
planned.
A Toast to Gentlemen,
The following toast to gen
tlemen is handed in by a lady
contributor:
Bless ’em! They halve our
joys, they double our sorrows,
they treble our expenses, they
quadruple our cares, they ex
cite our magnanimity, they
increase our self-respect, wa
ken our enthusiasm, arouse
affections, control our proper
ty, and out-maneuver us in
everything. This world is a
dreary world without them.
In fact, I may say without
prospect of successful contra
diction, that without them this
wouldn’t be much of a world
anyhow. We love them, and
the dear things can’t help it;
we control them, and the pre
cious things don’t know it.
As husbands they are con
venient, though not always on
hand; as beaux they are by
no means “matchless.” They
are most agreeable as visitors,
handy at state fairs, and in-
dispensible at oyster saloons.
They are splendid as escorts
for some other fellow’s wife
or sister, and as friends they
are better than women. As
our fathers they are inex
pressibly grand. A man may
be a failure in business, a
wreck in constitution, not
enough to boast fo as to
beauty, nothing as a wit, less
than nothing as a legislator
for women’s rightSj and not
very brilliant as a member .of
the press, but if our father we
overlook his shortcomings and
cbver his peccadilloes with the
divine mantle of charity.
Then, as our husbands, how
we love to parade them as
paragons! In the sublime
language of the poet:
We’ll lie for ’em, \
We’ll cry for ’em
And if we could we’d fly
for 'em;
We’d anything but die for
’em !
Starting in Life.
You are soon to leave and
break away from all the ten
der ties of home, and go out
to seek your fortune in the
world. Let us whisper a few
words of counsel. We sup
pose you wish to be rich; most
people do. We don’t think
riches desirable. We should
be sorry to have inherited
wealth. But a competence is
very desirable, is indispensi-
ble. Well, the way to get it
is by forethought to plan, in
dustry to execute, and pru
dence to keep the earnings of
your work. Get what you
honestly earn, but never take
more. Money is by no means
the best thing in life. You
are here in this world to be
come a good man, a wise man,
a just man, an affectionate
man, a religious man. Work
for your manhood as much as
for money; take as much
pains to get, and as much ta
keep it. Keep clear of vice,
especially intemperance, gam
bling and licentiousness.
These three ruin thousands of
young men every year. Be
not gloomy, sour and stiff.
Cheerfulness, gayety, liveli
ness and mirthfulness belong
to your period of life. You
will find little real pleasure in
anything your conscience for
bids. As you have opportu
nity, cultivate yoqr mind and
forethought; prudence and in
dustry will help you here as
much as in getting money.
And now would you prolong
the sunshine of life forever?
We must say to you there is
no real happiness in life with
out religion. It is a restraint
from doing wrong, an encour
agement to do right, and a
great comfort at all times of
life. And finally, remember,
though absent from the sight
of the dear ones at home you
will ever live in their hearts;
and their highest earthly wish
will be that you may prove
yourself a noble man.
The Comfort of Being a Boy.
There is a comfort to be a.
boy in {he amount of work he
can get rid of doing. It is
something astonishing how
slow he can go on an errand;
perhaps, he couldn’t explain to
himself why, when he is sent
to the neighbor’s for yeast, he
stops to stone frogs. He is
not exactly cruel, but he
wants to see if he can’t hit
’em.
It is a curious fact about
boys, that two will be a great
deal slower about doing any
thing than one. Boys have a
power of helping each other
do nothing. But say what
you will about the general
usefulness of boys, a farm
without a boy would soon
come to grief. He is always
in demand. In the first place
he is to do all the errands, go
to the store, postoffice, and
carry all sorts of messages.
He would like to have as many
legs as a wheel has spokes,
and rotate in the same way.
This he sometimes tries to do,
and people " who have seen
him “turning cart wheels”
along the side ot the road have
supposed he was amusing
himself and biding his time.
He was only trying to invent
a new mode of locomotion, so
he could economize his l%s,
and do his errands with great
er dispatch. Leap-frog is one
of the methods of getting over
ground Jquickly. He has a
natural genius for combining
pleasure with business.
The parents tyho rear their
sons in idlAess are doing
them an unspeakable harm.
Every boy is entitled to know
by actual experience what
hard manual labor means, and
to get the blessing that comes
from toughened muscles and
a tanned skin.
The boy who takes his hat
off when he enters the house
is the one who usually has his
hair combed and his face
clean, and the girl who says
“please,” and “thank you,” is
always prettier than the one
who forgets these little things.
You just look around and see
if this is not true.
A Great Family Medicine.
“It gives me pleasure to speak a
good word for Electric Bitters,”
writes Mr. Frank Conlan of No. 4:«)
Houston, St., New York. “It’s a
grand family medicine for dyspepsia
and liver complications; while for
lame back and weak kidneys it can
not l)e too highly recommended.”
Electric Bitters regulate the diges
tive functions, purify the blood, and
impart renewed vigor and vitalily to
the weak and debilitated of both
sexes. Sold under guarantee at Coop

The trouble with caution is it
keeps you out of things you
ought to get out of.
Mr. John Biha of Vining, la.,says,
“I have been selling DeWitt’s Kid
ney and Bladder Pills for about a
year and they give better satisfaction
than any pill I ever sold. /There are
a dozen people here who nave used
them and they give perfect satisfac
tion In every case. I nave used them
myself with fine results," Sold by

Household Notes.
Cold rainwater and soap
will take machine grease from
was fabrics. -
Do not black a stove while
hot; it takes more blocking
and does not polish well.
A sponge which lias be
come hard and dry can be
softened by a bath in milk.
Dampen the broom in hot
soapsuds before sweeping, to
keep the dust down.
Amitionia will usuallp re
store the color to silk which
has been stained with fruit.
Place a pan of water in the
oven when baking potatoes to
hasten their cooking.
A little boiling water ad
ded to an omelet as it thickens
will prevent its being tough.
Dishes on which eggs have
been used should be soaked
in cold water before washing.
Tar can be quickly removed
from the hands and dishes by
the application of kerosene.
One time-saving housekeep

white and then enameled
them.
Health Hints.
Be happy. Have as much
wholesome fun as possible. Try
to see the funny side of things;
it keeps one young. Cultivate a
habit of thinking cheerful
thoughts, speaking only kind
ness, and lending a helpful hand.
Simplify everything.
Practice deep breathing. Won
derful results can be obtained
from faithful and persistent
work at this. A person with ful
ly developed lung capacity not
only purities his blood several
times a minute, but renders him
self practically unsinKable m
water, even if he knows nothing
about swimming.
Avoid all drugs and medicines,
except, of course, in case of real
illness, when they should be giv
en by a properly qualified physi
cian. This rule applies even to
the common laxatives, sleeping
powders and digestive tablets so
widely used. Water and exer
cise render laxatives unnecessary.
Exercise, solely, will cure sleep
lessness, and food that is easily
digested should be eaten.—Ex.
W. P. Ward, of Dyersbnrg, Tenn.,
writes: “This is to certify that I have
used Foley’s Orino Laxative for chrome
constipation, and it has proven without a
dpubt to he a thorough and practical rem
edy for this trouble, and it is with pleas
ure I offer mv conscientious reference.
Cooper’s drug store.
The thing that makes a man
brag about being an amateur
gardener in the country is he
knows none of his friends can
ever be induced to go out there
and see it.
Bucklen’s Arnica Salve Wins.
Torn Moore of Rural Route 1, Coch
ran, Ga., writes: “I had a bad sore
come on the instep of iny foot and
could find nothing that would heal it
until I applied Bucklen’s Arnica
Halve. Less than half of a 2oc box
won the day for me by affecting a
perfect cure.” Hold under guaran

•Eats What He Gin Get.
A woman, discussing how to
feed a husband, said she soon
cured her husband of fussiness
and faddiness about his food.
She said that he had to take what
he could get.
Now, why should he? His work
and money buy every scrap of
food which enters the home. It
is the husband’s right that he
should have the food he likes
best, properly cooked and served
oil the table he bought, iti the
house whose rent he pays, by the
wife to whom he gives a house
keeping allowance as a trust
fund.
He strives his very best to sup
port his family in comfort and
some degree of luxury. His wife
should strive her very best to lay
out the money he intrusts her
with so as to secure health, hap
piness and coutent in the home.
It is a very clear bargain be
tween husband and wife. If a
man is “grumpy” at meals there's
usually something the matter
with the meals. The sourest-
tempered male begins to smile
when the savory scent of an ap
petizing dish rises like incense
before the altar of his appetite,
Kisses and' sentiment do not
compensate a man for poor cook
ing and monotonous catering.

Salt Rising Bread.
Slice two medium potatoes
thin, add to them two table
spoonfuls of corn meal, one tea
spoonful of sugar, bne scant tea-
spoonful of salt; pour over this
two pints of boiling water and
set in a warm place over night.
This should be made at noon. In
the morning stir this up well and
strain off what you want of the
liquid, add one scant teaspoonful
of soda and one-half teaspoonful
of salt. Thicken to a stiff batibr
with flour and set in warm water
to rise. When risen, take one
pint of milk, one-half pint of wa
ter and one tablespoonful of lard.
Mix and make into loaves. Fill
pans half full and let come to the
top. Bake fifty minutes. This
will make four loaves. Do not
make aastiff.as yeast bread nor
knead so long.

When some men fall in love
they seem to knock their brains
out.
When a girl looks as pretty as

When you ask a girl to keep a
little corner in her heart for you,
you should remember that nor-
wr lots are the most valuable.
*Wheu you tell a girl signifi
cantly that two cau live as cheap
ly ub one, you invite the remark
that she doesn’t want to live
cheaply.
When a man acquires the right
to examine a girl’s millinery and
dressmaker’s bills, it’» too late to
back out.
