Tlir V.n.ay on M:i:: I !ia« tt u« Written by n Child of Tiiilit lean. I remember, writej a correspondent of a London paper, hearing I.ord Duf ferin tell the following story of the late Sheridan Le Kanu: Sheridan's fa ther-the archbishop of >l#ath, I think —was a great sti< kler for punctuality, a regard his son tli«l not share. One morning young Sheridan, then about eiiiht years ol>l. descended uut.sually late for breakfast ami was met at the door by his father, watch in hand. "Is ' this right, sir; is this right?" demanded ' the prelate in stern tones. "I don't know, sir," replied Sherld. n, looking at the watch and pretending to tliin'< the question applied to It and not to Ins conduct, "but I rather think it's fast." I'or this impertinence young Sheri ■ dan was condemned to write an fssay jon "The Three Ages of Man." Here ] is what he wrote: | "There are three ages of man. i "First—When he is engaged In plan ! ning every conceivable mode of wick j edness. This is known as the age of innocence. "Second.—When he Is putting his nefarious plans ii to operation. This is called the prime of manhood. "Third.—When he becomes anxious about his soul and turns to religion. This is ilotage." And this from a child of eight! The Power of Tboosht. Beware of what you think, for what you think quite as much as what you do molds your character. Wrong acts persisted in will wreck any life, but wrong thoughts have just as sure an effect. It not infrequently happens that people who live fairly good lives, so far as their actions go, do not feel it necessary to set so close a guard on their thoughts. These are hidden, and of what harm is it to occasionally cher ish a vulgar thought if one does not allow it to escape in action? Of what harm to bate if one does not show It? To imagine oneself committing wrong acts if one docs not actually commit them? But the laws of life say that every thought affects the whole being. As a man's heart is, so will he be. Evil thoughts gradually undermine the character,nnd some day these thoughts will burst into action which is irreme diable. —Woman's Home Companion. The Body nnd Soul. It Is an ever increasing pity that the average doctor who tries to heal the body cares nothing for the soul. On the other hand, the parson who tries to heal the soul cares nothing for the body. The body and soul cannot be separated in such a manner. The dis eases that atllict the body also affect the soul, and vice versa. No one who is ignorant of the laws that govern either the soul or the body Is lit to attempt to heal the diseases of either the oi.e or the other. A bad man may preach a good ser mon. A bad man may prescribe a goo 1 medicine. But both the sermon and the medicine would have had a greatly Increased efficacy had they been de livered by a good man. —Medical Talk. ChicUnmnmtn nnd ChnUnnoosrm. The word Cliickamauga means "dull, sluggish stream," says the Chattanoo ga Times, and it is from the waters of the creek that the Indians, who were among the most daring and warlike of all the tribes in east Tennessee, got their names. The original interpreta tion of Chattanooga has long been lost. The general acceptation of the mean ing of the word is "hawk's nest," said to have been suggested by the valley nestling in the shadow of the ridges and mountain. Others say that the word is derived from the name Clano wah, given by the Cherokees to small, warlike hawks that made their nests in the cliffs of Lookout mountain. "Real Indian." A young woman recently received in struction in tlie art of Indian basketry and liad made several copies of Indian baskets of which she was very proud. A friend who had been living in Ari zona called upon the young woman, who showed the baskets with consid erable pride. "They are really very well done," commented the visitor, "but of course they are not the real Indian baskets." "Why, Mrs. Sawyer," indignantly ex claimed the maker, "how can you say that when I just told you that I made them myself''"—Youth's Companion. Woman's Narrowness.

Why She Stood. "Madam," said the conductor to the plain and somewhat elderly woman standing up in the street car, "why don't you ask one of these men to give you a seat?"

A t'ufful (': I 111 11. A writer in an Engli; li church maga zine once found in a collier's cottage In Staffordshire a collin used as a bread and cheese cupboard. Notwith standing his wife's remonstrance, he told the story of the coffin as follows: "Eighteen years ago I ordered that coffin. The wife and me used to have a good many words. One day she said, 'l'll niver be content till I see thee in thy coffin.' 'Well, lass,' I said, 'if that 'll content thee it 'll soon be done.' "Next day I gave directions to have the tiling made. In a few days it came home, to the wife's horror. I got into it and said. 'Now, lass, are thee content?' She began to cry and want ed the 'horrid thing' taken away. But that I wouldn't allow. In the end she got accustomed to seein' it, and, as we wanted to turn it to some use, we had some shelves put in and made it into a bread and cheese cupboard. We have niver quarreled since it came." I'referreil IIOKK to l.nml. They teli a good one on a prominent real estate man of Waurika. Some time ago he carried a prospector over on Beaver creek to show him a certain claim. He told the man that it was an exceptionally fine claim, that the land did not overflow and that ho would sell it to him for SJ.'MMi. The man looked around and discovered some red mud way up in a tree and asked the real estate man what caused that mud in the tree tops if the land did not overflow. The agent promptly replied that there was a kind of hog raised over in tlie Chickasaw country which used to range on the creek and that they rubbed the mud on the trees. The prospector took a look over the land, glanced tip in the tree again and told the Waurika man that lie wouldn't take the claim, but he would give him S4,iMM• for a couple of those hogs.— Kansas I'itv Journal I I | V Ji e i v X ' - f v / '' ■ iggj'' 1 X A FINE BABY.
