PENANCE.
He kissed me—and l know ’twas wrong
For he was neither kith nor kin.
Need one do penance very long
For such a tiny little sin?
He pressed my hand—that wasn’t
right?
Why will men have such wicked ways?
It isn’t for a minute quite.
But in it there were days and days.
There’s mischief in the moon, I know;
I’m positive I saw her wink
When I requested him to go;
I meant it, too, almost I think.
But, after all, I’m not to blame,
He took the kiss! I do think men
Are quite without the sense of shame!
I wonder when he’ll come again.
—Author Unknown.
“Yes, boo, lioo, hoo, Sam is dead.
The poor old fellow, he’s.' he’s he's
canned.”
“Oh. I’m so sorry. Who is he? - ’
“Salmon.” (Curtain.)
The other day at a dinner party in
Oxford, each guest was given a place
card and asked to write something
on a broken heart. The following
impromptu verses were a portion of
the result:
“If your heart has ere been broke.
Forget it.
If they take you as a joke,
Forget it.
If they say you’re not the same
Tf you do not speak her name.
If you’ve ever lost a dame—
Forget it.
“If you break a hone it
will always mend.
If your ear breaks down,
just to Covington send :
If you get dead broke just
“Frish” a friend—
But if your heart gets broke
well—begin again.
“Your heart is broke?
Another heart’s not hard to find.
Well, never mind!
They say a woman’s hearts are nine
Well, keep the mirth
One safe for mine.”
“There’s a little heart
Quite broke apart,
A little heart I know—
It’s mine.
And sure I know it would be fine
tf I could mend this heart of mine.
•The little boy’s heart was hroken
And she wore it as a token;
For she was only playing,
And his heart she was aslaying.
But why worry?”
“Words are weak and far to seek
When wanted fifty-fold.
And so if silence do not speak,
And trembling lips and tearful cheek
There's nothing told.”
“Did she marry well?”
“No; it was a case of true love.”
—Harvard Lampoon.

Miss Allgood’s ITrotlier didn’t approve
of the wedding which was one reason
it was so sudden. But he ran out of

in the celebration.

Place bis affiliations with Mr. Mott.
Mr. Mercer has lectured against li¬
quor and vice in practically every col¬
lege. university and school of any im¬
portance in tile United States^ He lec¬
tures annually to 100,000 young men,
lias personal talks with at least 25,000,
is asked for help and advise by about
r,.00(» and through his work convinces
at least 1,000 of them that liquor and
t Ho social evil will absolutely prevent
their making successes in life and
makes them total abstainers and vir¬
tuous, honest and progressive busi¬
ness men.
Liquor a Bar to Efficiency.
“I am not a fanatic on the subject
of booze.” said Mr. Mercer, “nor do
r denounce as a scoundrel and an out¬
law ibo mail who drinks it. but in my
tai ; to the students in the colleges
and schools that 1 visit I simply try
to show them that unless they keep
themselves free from the liquor and
evi's their education, though it
be of the very highest, is worth abso¬
lutely nothing to them.
“That statement may seem a little
exaggerated to many people in the
South, where a man is allowed to do
pretty much as he pleases, but in the
North it is as true as that 1 am alive.
The heads of the big business con¬
cerns are in business for money and
in these days of keen competition the
Concern that is the business getter is
the concern that lias the most efficient
clerks and employes, and every one of
them realize this.
Coming to The South
• And you can just say for mo that
this sort of tiling is coining to the
South just as surely as the sun rises
ami sets. I grant you that there are
thousands of men in the Smith today
who drink and are successful business
men. They do this, however, because
things don’t move so rapidly in the
South as they do in the North and
t lecause the business concerns are not
as strict in their requirements. The
movement is spreading to the South,
though, and it will reach here within
the next few years. When that time
comes the clerk and employe in the
iiig business house of the South who
holds his job and rises to a position of
trust and prominence will be the man
who does not use liquor or run
around witii immoral women be¬
cause he is afraid it will impair his
efficiency.”
New Altitude of Southern States.
Mr. Mercer said that within the last
few years there had been many mark¬
ed changes in the attitude ,,f the fac¬
ulty and students of the Southern
schools and colleges toward the use
of liquor. The improvement has been
rapid ho said and he believes that it
will be even more rapid in the next
few years
■ Mr. Mercer said ho firmly believes
that nation wide prohibition will
come withn a very short time and
that with it will come a great reduc¬
tion in crime in all its various phases.
The people all over the country, lie
said, are beginning to realize that
liquor is (lie greatest menace that the
nation has to deal with and that it
must be stamped out at any eat.
