TAUGHT HIM NEEDED LESSON Value of Peraeverance Impreeaed on Bpanlah Boy In Manner That Made Right Impreealon. There in a medieval legend of a Spanish boy who wan dull at school and who wan no much discouraged by tho severity of his teachers that he ran away from home. After he bad wandered a long way lie wan tired and sat down to rent on the margin of a well. An he sat there bin eya fell upon the stone w f ell curb and he began to wonder how it hap pened that there was a deep groove across the stone. Ife asked an ex planation of a girl who came to draw wotcr, and was amazed to learn that the groove had not been rut in the stone by men, but had been worn there by the constant rubbing of the rope which held the water bucket. The little circumstance sank deep into his mind. He argued that if a soft rope by daily use could force its way through a hard stone, then there was nothing that could not be accomplished by perseverance, and he learned bis first lesson in the meaning and value of mental disci pline. He returned to his father’s house and to the school from which ho had fled, and proved the same truth in his owm case, for he riot only passed through the school with credit, but became a great teacher and preacher. Some of us are quicker than oth ers, but not always is mere quidtnesa a sign of superiority. Slow, plodding ■perseverance will often outdo quick ness that is easily disco ranged.

A philanthropic doctor in a min ing town gave new thermometers to a number of families, with the ur gent advice to keep their houses at n proper temperature. When ho waa making his rounds oue day he saw one of the thermometers hanging up. Ho asked the woman of the house if she remembered his instructions. “Indeed, sir, 1 do!” was the response. “I hang the thing up there, and I watch it carefully to see it does not got too high." “Good!” exclaimed tho doctor. “And what do you do when the temperature rises abovo 70 degrees ?” “Why, sir,” answered the woman, with the air of one faith ful to a trust, “when it gets too high I take it down and put it outside until it cools!” THOSE USELESS QUESTIONS “What are the passengers looking out of the window for?” asked a nervous lady passenger on the train ns the conductor came through. “We ran over a cat, madam,” said the conductor. “Was Uie cat on the track?” she next asked. “Oh, no, ma’am,” assured the con ductor. “Tire locomotive chased her up an alley.” VERY MUCH SO. “I wonder if there will be an ice famine this season?" “Now wouldn't that be a queer business to be a freeze-out ?” A COMMON TROUBLE. “On what grounds did he base his domestic discontent ?” “I think some of them were the coffee grounds." FISHY. “What is that fish story he is teD ing about ?' “'From what I heard, it is about th 9< Barit” PARADOXICAL PREDICAMENT. “This report says that Huerta is losing ground.” “That’s odd when he seems to be completely at sea.” WON HIS WAY WITH FISTS Australian ‘‘Fighting Parson” Correct ly Gauged Men to Whom He Desired to Minister. The novel spectacle of preceding church service with boxing bouts was witnessed recently in Australia. The pugilistic parson was the llev. 11. Linton of St. James, Wilcunnia, S. S. W., and a correspondent gives the following account of the en counter : ‘•Mr. Linton struck a (shearing) shed in full swing, and being anx ious to get into close touch with the men made inquiries as to the pros pects of holding a service. An old hand who was consulted gave it ns his opinion, if he made the attempt he would probably meet with a mixed reception. However, nothing daunted, he soon made his plan of campaign, and lost no time in put ting it into execution. “He put in an appearance at the mess one evening, and after a few fraternal remarks introduced a set of boxing gloves. This was a bold frontal attack, and risky. The shed champion was thunderstruck. He from the start of shearing freely had offered to fight run or jump with any man in the crowd, with no re sult, and here was a simple parson storming Ins stronghold. Prelimi naries were soon settled and a willing go was entered upon, which soon left the one-time champion deeply thinking. “After several other bouts the first part of the entertainment closed and the more serious one was entered upon—a religious service. All hands, full of admiration for the parson, rolled up and a hearty exercise was the result, the first ever held there. We would not be surprised if he were elected chaplain to the West Dar ling shearers.” SUMMER GIRL Mary Jane —Ah I Them’s my ini tials, but I can’t recall now who on earth “B. T.” is. TREE BEARS HANDS. A curious tree is growing in Los Angeles, Cal., the seed of which was brought from Mexico. In gene nil ap pearance it resembles an English walnut. The leaves are much like those of a buttonwood, but very much larger. The most marked pe culiarity of the tree is its blossoms, from which it has been named the “hand tree.” The flower is an inch and a half in diameter, with short russet sepals and long reddish-lined petals. The fat scarlet pistils pro truded an inch beyond. They are so joined to resemble a hand, with fin gernails like the claws of a Chinese grandee. The resemblance to a hand is striking. SACRIFICED.
