But when it comes to boys who go out and beat | bushes for a job—just a plain job, in which they have a chance to make good without regard to pay—they’re so scarce that they are in danger of being captured for exhibition purposes in museums. Nothing can stund against a boy of this kind. The give-me-a-job boy is sure to be distributing jobs Bonner or later, and generally it's sooner. RESOLUTIONS MRS .1 nUrhiothir. "I want a job!” The head of the electric lighting con cern looked up from his desk and saw a gangling boy of 17 facing him with a look of quiet, respectful determina tion that curried conviction. "But I haven't any position that you could possibly (ill, and right now I'm so driven that — ” "I want a job,” interrupted the boy with an odd smile that didn't detract from the serious determination of his genial expression, "and I'm willing to work six months without a cent of pay.” "Well, that's rather a new one,” ex claimed the owner of the lighting plant. "But—” Tho boy wuh looking for that "But” and caught it on the fly. "You sen it’s this way, sir” he inter rupted. "I’ve just finished at the manual training school. I' ve made up my mind that electric lighting's the thing for me and that I’m going to ht started in it. It has a future, and 1 want to understand it and make it my line.” His eye was kindling with enthusiasm when the man at the desk opened with another, “But -" He didn’t get nn inch beyond tho de pressing qualification, for tho boy shot into the sentence with: "I'll work for nothing and keep just as careful hours as your foreman or anybody else on y.tur pay roll. You’ve got a good plant, sir, and 1 can see that it's hound to grow a lot in the next three years, Tlertrie lighting has just started. It’s the best business to get into in the world, and I’m going to learn it from the ground up. I want a job with you. No pay for six months.” "But 1 don’t see how I can possibly use you," responded the man of the plant. “Although I'm bound to suy that 1 like your grit, and I think you are on tho right track - and ” "Just give mu the job,” cut in the hoy, "and I’ll find something to do that will help you. There's always work around a plant like yours that a hoy who’s hud a little technical training can find to do work that needs to he done. Here are some references from my instructor and two or three busi ness men who know mo." "Look here," suddenly interrupted the man at the desk, "you certainly do want a job. And you're going to get it. 1 can see that right now. I'll give you a letter to the superintendent.” When, n fortnight later, he called at Ibis plant, the foreman remarked: "Suy, that lioy you sent up here’s the oddoBt duck you ever saw. He takes his job just as hard as if he were drawing profits or my salary instead of working for nothing n week and paying his own car fare. "Why, his aunt died tho other day and he didn’t come for two days; hut he sent a substitute and paid him out of his own pocket, lie’s (he first man on the job in the morning and the last to leave at night. From the minute he gets hero till he leaves lie's us busy as a hoy nt a circus. That hoy is certain ly fond of his jib." A few weeks later the hoy spoke to the man who hid given him a job. “A little testing department would save you money,” said the boy. "and it would not cost much, either. You and I've found out that some of it isn't up to the standard. They’re working considerableotT on you." "How much would it cost?" asked the owner of the plant. Instantly the boy drew from his pocket a list of every item needed in the equipment of the testing labora tory. He had it all ready waiting for the question. “Get it and go ahead,” said theman, after he had glanced over the li.'.t. The laboratory was installed and saved the business a neat sum of money. The day the hoy’s gratuitous service was up he appeared again at the pro prietor's desk and said, "My time is up, sir. ” "But you stay,” was the quick ans wer, "and the salary you get is going On Being Engaged. Scrlhnor'H Mutfiulnc. Moat of the novelists—at least, most of the novelists who deal in lustrous- eyed heroines, and in heroes running from "a little over middle stature” to "Bix feet of manhood”—try to create tho impression that the period of matrimonial engagement is a pleasant one. It isn’t. It never was—at least, not to any properly constituted human being. And why on earth should it be pleasant, and to whom should it he pleasant? Let us tako the case of the engage ment of John .Smith and Mary Jones. Their wedding day is fixed. It is six monthB olT, let us say. Now, do you expect John Smith to he happy? It is true that he has the promise of his heart's desire, but a promise is one thing and a certainty another. The only certainty ho has is that it will be six months sure and certain before he gels his heart’s desire; and during those six months he has got to see his heart's desire every day. and to curse each day that comes along before his wedding day. Also he has got to put in six months of solid reflection upon his own capabilities for supporting a wife, and possibly three or four yuunger persons. Ami as for Mary Jones, her situation is even more uncomfortable. By all the laws of affection she is John’s ownest own, and yet in reality she isn't anybody’s own—not even her own self's own. Her parents have relinquished their claim to her just enough to en able them to go about looking as though she had deserted them in a snowstorm to run away with a dis believer in revealed religion, and they must keep enough authority over her to be as mean as conscientious parents can he when they get an opportunity. And few people can he meaner than a truly conscientious parent. Remember that the host friend, the tho best confidant, is your mother. Have no friend with whom she is not acquainted. Make her interested in what you are doing, and if the trials of her life are many, just remember that to gain sympathy you must give it. Make yourself your mother's com panion and friend, then she will be yours. Do nothing that you conceal from her, and never believe for a min ute that when you have really made her understand she will not care for what | interests you. Mother isn't very much 1 older than you, after all. It hasn’t been such a long time since she enjoyed 1 just what you do, since life seemed as full of brightness as does yours, since she made as many inquiries atul tried to think out as many problems as you do, and once you two can meet on this ! common ground, be sure that you will have nobody who will as thoroughly sympathize with you as does your mother.

On April 25, 1915, our Heavenly Fath er, in liis all wire providence, took from us our dear friend and sister, Mth J. L. McKoy. She was horn Sept. 14, 1857; was married to Mr. McKoy Dec. 13. 1877. In August. l v 7ri, she joined the Baptist clurch at New Leb anon and was baptized by her pastor, Rev W. W. Kelly. We rejoice that her innocent and spotless life bequeaths to us the blessed consolation of the Chris tian hope which assures us that her spirit will forever shine with the an gels. Her gentle and kind disposition, her constancy in friendship, and many virtues combined, made her a treasure on earth, while her love for Jesus we feel sure makes her an angel in heaven. We feel that in her death we have lost another good sister. She was a true and loving wife, and a kind and affec tionate mother. She willingly and de votedly gave her life for her husband and children. She leaves a husband and five children, and a host of friends to mourn her departure. Therefore, be it resolved-- 1. That we extend our deep sympa thy to the family in their hour of be reavement. 2. That, a copy of these resolutions he sent to the family of the deceased, and also placed on our church record to her memory. B. V. Davis, J. H. Grimes, jr,, Committee. MRS. ELIZA BEVIS. On the morning of April 12, 1915, af ter an illness of several weeks, the life of Sister Eliza Bevis, as peacefully as one falling into a sweet sleep, passed from ear.h to the higher life of the glorified. She was brought under relig ious training, and while young gave her heart to Christ and herself to His church. She was familiarly known among her many friends, both young and old, as "Aunt Eliza," and her name was never mentioned by anyone know ing her true worth except with rever ence and affection. Through all the years of her faithful and consistent membership with Elim church no hearts turned with greater joy to the house of God, and no soul with a deeper satis faction in tho sacred hour of worship. As members of Elim church we now tenderly express our grief for the loss of our sister. Therefore, be it re solved— 1. That we accept this loss sent by Him who "docth all things well." 2. That the memory of her life among us and the influence of her example may he used to the strengthening and broadening of our usefulness in the Master's work. 3. That these resolutions bo spread on our church book and a copy sent to the bereaved family. Respectfully submitted, S. M. Wortham, J. T. Cash, Committee. MRS. DONIA LUCKIE. The Death Angel has again visited our midst and called from us one of our beloved members, sister Donia I.uckie. She was born Nov. 15, 1855; was mar ried to John Luckie in 1872. Five chil dren blessed this union. Her life was a blessing to her community, and she was ever ready to lend a helping hand to the poor and needy. By our loss heaven has gained another bright jewel. It grieved us to give her up, but may we ever say as she did, “God’s will be done." She was stricken with pneumo nia and lived but a few days, passing away March 21, 1915. We shall not mourn for her. She is not lost, but has gone to a land where pain and sorrow are unknown. To the children and grandchildren we would say, heaven is brought nearer since mother is there. Live the Christian life she did and some day you will meet her again. There fore, be it resolved — 1. That in the death of Sister Luckie Elim church has lost one of its most influential members. 2. That the memory of her cheerful and faithful Christian life remain with us. an inspiration to our church and community. 3 That we extend to the bereaved children and other relatives our deepest sympathy, and the comforting hope of eternal life. 4 That these resolutions be spread on our church book, and a copy sent to the family. Respectfully submitted, Mrs. M. D. Millians, C C. Grimes, L. M. Wiggins, Committee. In Memory of Mrs- W. H. Miller. Mrs. Sophia Elizabeth Miller, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Waltom, was born Feb. 7, 1859. She was twice mar ried, her first husband being Mr. El bert Drake, with whom she lived for a number of years. Her second marriage, in April, 1911, was to Mr. W. H. Mil ler. She and I were horn and each other; consequently I her all her life, first school she RESPECT. She wes the oldest of nine children. When sh" was about 12 years of age she and a girl friend of hers about the same age spent the night with a preacher’s family. Of course, he had family prayer. It impressed them very much, and they talk' d atnut it after j retiring and how they wished their fathers would have prayer at night. So much for th? influence of family prayer. Her Christian life was beautiful, from its beginning to its close; hence she reared her own monument while sh - * lived in the hearts of those who knew her. She was always ready to help in time of need. She was never blessed wi h children of her own, but mother love was a strong trait in her character. Her step-children had in her a faithful mother, and now that she is gone they call her blessed. Her neigh bors had only to know her to love and appreciate her. Although Bhe had a large share of cares and troubles in her efforts to help, she was unusually cheerful. I feel that when I have said the best things possible I still have not revealed all her virtues. She was loyal to her church and pastors. She not only professed the religion of Christ, and joined the church, hut manifested her faith in her Lord by a Christian life. She taught a class in Sunday- school at Mt. Gilead, and when she moved to Moreland she taught a class there for a number of years, and then at Bethel for four years. 1 was thrown with her many times, in sadness and joy. I remember so many kind deeds of hers, having known her life. Of a genial disposition, she was greatly beloved by her kindred, and esteemed by her many friends. May her mantle of sacrifice and service fall on some of her loved ones. It is not how long we live, but how well we live. 1 think her eager attention and ready responsiveness to the preaching of the gospel must have been an inspiration to the preachers she listened to. Her health had been failing for sev eral months, hut was not considered se rious. Not a doubt concerning her fu ture troubled her;—said "Bhe was ready and willing to die.” Thus we have a sketch of a life not so long, but one whose good influence is felt at home and abroad, having given a part of her substance and prayers to heathen lands, as well as at home. I extend sympathy to her loved ones, and trust that He who stilled the temp- test on the Sea of Galilee may speak peace to their sorrowing hearts. In the silent hours of the night she passed away on July 1, 1915. Her pastor con ducted the services, and she was laid to rest at Pitts’ cemetery to await the resurrection. A. P. C. Turin, Ga.

But in one corner, behind a beautiful rampart of palms, the young lieu tenant and the colonel’s daughter were trying to occupy the same chair. Suddenly an intruder appeared—the colonel. The young man rose. “Sir," he said, in sharp staccato tones, “I have the honor to report an engagement at close quarters, in which I have been entirely victorious. Now, sir, it merely remains for you to give your official sanction to the terms of surrender.” ODORLESS REFRIGERATORS If the thing a man wants to do right he goes and does it.

Atlanta, Ga. —" I can endorse Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription as a most excellent medicine to meet all of the conditions of diseases of womankind. I can testify from my own experience. I suffered from nervous debility, which affected me to such a measure that I often had to lie down to quiet my ex cited nerves. The irritated nerves also kept me awake many a night. I did not eat enough to sustain my body, and grew weaker. To add to my affliction I had spasmodic pains in neck, shoulders, and in my back.
