" -- 1 - The Doctor’s “Assistant.” London Chrintiun World. lie was only h small buy and bin mother wan very, very ill. What made it worse was that the kinc) nurae who looked after her said he had better not Ko into her room for fear of disturbing her, and so he had to play about the backyard and to feel sorry and lonely, for he had no company except his big, white, lop-eared rabbit, with pink eyes. He wished very much to help his dear mother, so of course he prayed and ■isked God to make her better. Then suddenly he thought of something that might perhaps do her good, and would at least Bho.w that he felt for her. And that is what thiB tale is about. While the nurae was down in the kitchen at-' tending to a saucepan, he got some thing out of the backyard, and very quietly he tiptoed up the stairs to his mother’s room. He opened the door very gently, and there was his mother looking weak and white and ill, but she managed to turn her head on the pillow and say, "Hello, little man!" The lit tle man smiled back and said, "Hello, mother dear! 1 must whisper because of the nurse. But I’m sorry because you are ill, and I want to comfort you. And please, mother dear, 1 've brought you my white rabbit, and you can have it to play with." And he pulled the white rabbit from behind him and held it up by its ears, and when it had kicked twice and screwed itself different ways, he put it on the counterpane and run away. Never mind what the nurse said when she found the white rabbit in the bed. She said, "Bless the hoy!" and then she said something else as well, hut that doesn't matter. Not long after the white rabbit was safe aguin in his hutch the doctor called and said to the little boy’s mother, "I.et me feel your pulse." When the doctor had felt it, be said to the nurse, “Why, your pa tient is better. She has been roused and pleased in some way. That is just what 1 wanted. She has taken the turn, and I think she'll do now. What has happened?" Nurse told him about the rabbit, and he laughed; and when he went downstairs he called for the boy and patted him on the head harder than ae liked and said, "Well done, my boy! 1 wish 1 had j'ou for an assistant, ’ ’ And he took him for a ride in his motor ear, which pleased both of them, and he promised one day to take the white rabbit as well. The Beatitudes Modernized. MATT., 5:1-13. 1. And seeing the empty pews, he (the preacher) went up into an operu house; and when ho was standing, some disciples and many curiosity seekerB came unto him. 2. And he adjusted his glasses, and taught them, saying: 3. Blessed are the rich in purse: for theirs are the front seats and honors of the kingdom. 4. Blessed are they thatnever mourn; for they have escaped the country emotion and are called up-to-date. 5. 'Blessed are they that boast of their blood, talents, and reputation; for they shall inherit earth, sea and sky. (I. Blessed are they that never hun ger and thirst after righteousness; for they are sanctified, and are, therefore, always full. 7. Blessed are the deceitful in heart; for they shall be all smiles and called sweet. 8. Blessed are they that Work for peace at the sacrifice of truth; for they shall lie called broad and liberal. !). Blessed are they that stand for their rights and spit upon their breth ren; for they shall be called independ ent. 10. Blessed are they that are opposed for hiding the truth and teaching error; for they have the consolation of calling their opposors old fogies and kickers. 11. Blessed are ye when men Bhall compliment you and smile in your face, and shall say all manner of things about you behind your back. 12. Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward on earth; for so complimented they the false pro phets, which were before you. 13. Ye are the sugar of the earth; but if the sugar is saturated with doc trine, it is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and trodden under foot. TWO NEW ONES. i 1. Blessed are the preachers who never teach the truth; for they shall be applauded by men und demons. 2. Blessed are the preachers that please all denominations; for they shall be promoted to a better salary. Wm. Jaye. Cured of Indigestion. Mr*. Sadie P.

And yet there are many such men everywhere. They want to be economical, and 'hey be come brutes. There is no more pitiful sight than to see such a man drive in from the country with his wife. If it is winter he wears a heavy overcoat. She wears a thin shawl. The horses are fat and well cared for. The chil dren are thin and half clothed. He re fuses the pitiful sum necessary for a new dress, but goes into the grocery store and lays in a supply of tobacco. When we see such a couple in town we say to ourselves, "God have mercy on that woman.” The man who re fuses the money his wife needs and who spends it upon things of less importance is a more despicable thief than he who extracts a fat pocketbook from the picket of some well-to-do man. We know of no more exasperating spectacle than to see the wife of a man in com fortable circumstances asking for ten cents with which to buy necessities. You cannot excuse such meanness by the plea that woman does not take care of money.. It is her husband's fault if she does not know how. How can she learn to take care of what she has never had? Such meanness in business circles would be hooted everywhere. In a partnership heween men such a state of affairs would not be tolerated. Just because the member of a firm is elected business manager and treasurer, that does not give him the right to appro priate all the money - not by any means. But just because one of the partners in the marriage contract is always a woman, the other member of the firm seems to think that all the profits of the concern- belong to him alone. Give the woman a chance to show how economical she is and you will not only be just as well off in the | end, but both will be infinitelv happier. — -♦ — — Headache and Nervousness Cured.

HMr. Cox, a Jhotel proprietor, had among his colored servants a woman named Esther Dodge, and this name continued on the pay-roll long after Esther had taken unto herBelf a better half. One morning Mr. Cox called Esther to him and suggested a change on the pay-roll by giving the woman the name she had a right to be known by. The woman listened quietly to the proposal and then turned to go. “Why, Esther,” said her employer, "I do not know your husband’s name. Tell me before you go. ” . Esther stood for some little time in an attitude of profound thought, her dusky hand across her swarthy brow, and at last exclaimed: "My lands, boss!—1 jes’ can’t 'mem ber dat nigger’s name, nohow!” “Why do you call so often on Miss Haughty these evenings? You never did it before.” “I know, but she has such freezing manners.” Most Skin Trouble Readily Overcome Die Active Principle of a Famous Remedy Works Wonders. Many poopl** have marveled th* way S.
