It Was You Who Invited Me Here.
When I enter that, beautiful city,
Far removed from earth’s sorrow
and fear,
I want to hear somebody saying:
“It was you who invited me here.
When, to welcome me over the river,
The loved ones of earth shall draw
near,
1 waM to hoar s miehody whisper:
“It was you who invited me here.”
When at home, in those mansions
eternal,
The saved of the nations appear.
I want to have somebody tell me:
“It was you who invited me here.’ ‘
When the glad harps of heaven
are ringing
With musie so tender and clear,
1 want to hear somebody singing:
“It was you who invited me here.”
“It was you who invited me here:
It was you who invited me here.
To this happy home I might not
have come
Had you not invited me here.”
—Mus. A. B. Wade.
Reflections 4bout Women.
(Max O'Roll.)
Women is an instrument given to
man for bis happiness and his de
light. If tiie instrument gets neg
lect'd. out of tune and broken, men
should blame himself alone. Ninety
nine times out of a hundred the
instrument is right enough; it only
wants to lie in good and careful
keeping.
In matrimony, to retain happiness
and make, it last to the end.it is not a
question for a woman to remain
beautiful, it is a question for her to
remain interesting. Not the slight
est detail should he beneath her
notice in order to keep alive the
attention of her husband.
Love feeds on illusions, lives on
trifles. If a man hives his wife, a
rose on her head, her hair parted
the other way, a newly trimmed
bonnet, may revive in him the in
terest he felt the first time he met
her; nay. the emotion lie felt the
first time lie held her in his arms.
The very host dishes may become
insipid if served with the eternally
same sauce.
A woman should not lavish herself
on a man and overwhelm him with
ear. She should always leave
something to he desired, if a wo
man saturates a mail with her love
lie will get tired of her-
The woman who has never sue
eumbed to temptation, often be
cause temptation has never lieen in
her way, is inexorable for the weak
nesses of her sex.

A SERPENT STORY.
Terrifying Experience With a Deadly
Lancehead.
The Paris Eclair tolls a blood cur
tiling serpent story, the scene of which
was the islaud of Martinique and the
dramatis personae Sergeant Legraud
and Private Durand and the snake a
deadly lancehead.
The soldier had been punished with
a night in the cells for some trivial of
fense, but as the night was very hot
the sergeant had left the door open. In
the morning at 5 o’clock Legrand went
to wake his prisoner and, to his horror,
beheld a lancehead snake coiled up and
fast asleep on the man’s breast.
The sergeant (Hdjnot ! 2 se his presence
of mind. He stole noiselessly away,
ran to the guard room and. followed by
nil the men on duty, returned to the
cell with a bowl of milk and a tin whis
tle. Placing the bowl of milk at the
entrauce to the cell, the sergeant began
to play the “Blue Danube.’’ It is need
less to remark that the weakness of
the lancehead is milk and music. The
serpent, which was a six foot speci
men. awoke, glided from the soldier’s
l*ody toward the bowl, but it had no
sooner buried its head in its beloved
drink than ten cudgels descended on
it with terrific force, killing it outright.
The soldier Durand, who was in a
swoon, was taken to hospital, where
be lay for many days on the verge of
madness. He fiually recovered and re
lated his horrible experience—how he
had awoke in the middle of the night
as the serpent was coiling itself on his
bore breast and how he had lain there
in an agony for hours, not daring to
move a muscle.
Durand was sent back to France as
soon as he had sufficiently recovered.
The only trace of his terrible experi
ence, adds the Eclair, is that his hair
i3 now snow white.
His Excuse.
“Look here,” thuuderal the captain
of the suburban hose company, “why
don't you turn out? Brown’s barn is
on fire.”
“I—l can't,” responded the dude fire
man.
'“And why not?”
“Because J have just discovered that
a rod shirt does uot suit my complex
ion, sir.”—Chicago News.
He Was the Parent.
Little Bertram had always longed
for a live pet, but as he lived in an
apartment, building, he had to be
satisfied with toy animals.
Later his parents moved to the
country and Bertram became the
happy possessor of a kitten. He
hugged it close and remarked,“At
last, I am the parent of a living
creature." —The August Delineator.
Every summer you read of somebody’s barn being
struck by lightning, no insurance—total loss. Here is the
remedy—Cortright Shingles are not only lightning-proof
and storm-proof, but they are also easy to put on, never
needs repairs, and last as long as the building. Drop
and see samples, or send for 56-page book, ‘‘Rightly
Roofed Buildings.”

MEXICAN POLITENESS.
In the State of Michoacan Chivalry li
Compulsory.
“If any man opines that the days of
chivalry and the true knight errant
spirit have gone forever, let him start
forthwith on a far southward journey,
not halt his steps until he brings up
in the town of Morelia, which is the
capital of the Mexican state of
Michoacan,’’ remarked a traveling
man.
“Having arrived in Morelia, he will
at once see that tbe chivalrous spirit
still survives. I was down there not
long ago, and the gallantry of the men
and their extreme readiness to extend
courtesies to the fair sex pleased and
surprised me. When I noticed the
alacrity with which the native males
jumped up on the crowded street car
to offer their seats to tbe first senorita
that entered, I thought to myself how
much more gentlemanly are these
Mexicans than many of my own coun
trymen. They do not wait to see if
some other man is going to get up. but
each tries to beat the other in cour
teously proffering his seat to the lady.
“I spoke about the matter to the pro
prietor of the hotel and immediately
he began to laugh.
“ ‘You must understand, senor,’ said
the innkeeper, ‘that the governor of
our state issued a decree that if any
man keep his seat in a street car,
thereby compelling a wqgprn to staud,
he is liable to arrest fine. The
police have been instructed to execute
this order severely, and I think this
has much to do with the prompt polite
ness of which you speak, since none of
our population wishes to become in
volved with the police and to be pub
licly branded as lacking in gentility.’ ”
—Baltimore American.
Invited.
A Chicago woman, engaged in
soliciting subscriptions for a char
itable institution, was not long ago
pleading persistently wtih a board
of trade man for his aid, but with
out success, says Harper's Maga
zine. Finally the broker said, with
a smile:
“Now, Mrs. Dash, J will give you
§SO for this charity if you will
promise not to come into my office
again until I ask you to do so.”
“Certainly, 1 agree to that,” said
the lady, promptly, and walked out
smilling with a cheek.
Some wet ks flu reaftcr the broker
heard a knock at the door. “Conic
in!" ho railed, and in walked the>
ladj who had lieen working for the
charitable institution. .She had her
little subscription book under In r
arm.
“Good morning, Mr. Blank,”
said she. “I want you to help me
with a little matter —"
“Come now, Mrs. Dash,” inter
rupted the victim. “When 1 gave
you that lasts 50, wasn’t it on the
express condition that you wouldn’t
come into my office again until I
invited you?”
“Why, yet, that was the under
standing,” smiled the lady. “But
didn’t you say ‘Come in’ just now
when I knocked?”
