FUUTQN-COUNIY...NEWS. LOCAL MISCELLANY. Some people have new leaves to bum. Spring election Tuesday, Feb ruary 17. Tho bootblack never shines in society. Looking glasses are flat but never Hatter. No mau is too weak to turn over a new leaf. .The weather man began the now year right. Friendliness is never allied with flattery. Even a light lunch may be heavy after it's down. Sackcloth and ashes improve an icy pavement. The organ gr inder is always do ing a good turn. It's a good thing to be resolute iu your resolutions. Too many people keep their charity in cold storage. A man must be rather loose in his morals to get tight. It's a wise fish that knows when to keep its mouth shut. Tho value of money is most ap preciated when you have none. Iu the matter of new leaves, one good turn deserves another. It doesn't' make a furnace ashamed to heap coals of fire on it. Strangely enough an engine can't get up steam unless it is coaled. Filthy lucre must resulc from the fact that money is often tight. There was the usualNew Year's din : also the New Year's dinner. An icy pavement is calculated to throw a man on his own re sources. Even the things you get for nothing sometimes cost you an effort. A man should never allow his future to be overshadowed by the past. The captain of industry has gen erally risen from the rank of pri vate. A winning smile doesn't prevail against a winning hand in a poker game. Tho charity that begins at home is often so weak that it stays there. The burnt child need not dread the fire when coal is as scarce as it is now. No mau can hope to get up in the world unless he gets down to work. . ' . Lawyers are supposed to give advice, but, as a matter of fact, tlu-y charge for it. Some people won't take a hint and wouldn't know what to do with it if Ihey did. It is better to do one thing well than to do a lot of things that are not worth doing. The trouble with an opportuni ty is that it doesn't always strike the right man. The doctor and the brewer should be friends, for the brewer makes other people ale. - Lots of people never get any bouquets thrown at them until the day of the funeral. Some people will go out of their way to tell the truth, especially if it is unpleasant. . It is useless for the manufac turer of calendars to attempt to steal a March on his rivals. The man who is looking for trouble, as a rule, doesn't have to go away from home to find it. The man who is getting bald may console ' himself with the knowledge that he is coming out on top. There can be no economy from a woman's point of view, without " hash for breakfast once in awhile. A lawyer always tells the jury not to consider his remarks if they are not in accord with evi ileuie, and they take him at his word. Did you ever notice that old men still use tho kind of pocket books that wero in style during z tho war, when all the money was in greenbacks ?

FROM CHARLIE-ftTTMMr Letter Written tor the C. K. Society of Hoone Iowa. (Oontlmird from Firt Puifp;) take us across. Tho camels were made to kneel down and my bag gage was put ou one of thorn aud I mounted tho other. The Ku rds gathered around me and examin ed my hat, shoes, umbrella and everything else visible. Then the instructed me how to hold on when tho camel got up. Then tho camels were made to get up and the procession started to cross and I enjoyed my first camel ride crossing the river on "the ship of tho desert. " That night we staid in a house consist ing of one room in which three families lived and the next day we reached our destination. We crossed several other streams which were uot so deep but un fortunately the loaded horse which carried our bedding foil while crossing a stream and our bedding went into the water. That evening we s topped in the home of another nati ;e preacher and remained with him two weeks visiting the surrounding villages. We found three small churches and held a communion service in each one. It was a great joy to join these little companies in commemorat ing the death of our common Savior. This larire Dlain has a mixed population of Turks. Kurds Nestorians, Armenians and Jews. There were Kurds living in the village in which we staid. One night while there, there was a partial eclipso of the moon. Soon after retiring I heard aerreat din. Upon inquiring I was told that the Kurds were out on the roofs of their houses beating drums. singing, shouting, sayiug prayers &c, to frighten away the dragon that was about to swallow the moon. As soon as thev were sat isfied that they had accomplish ed their object they returned to their houses. I happened to bo there on Easter Sunday. The Armenians and Nestorians have a beautiful custom of greeting one another on this day. The Armen ian greets another with the words "Christ is risen," the other re plies, "to you and to us a great joy. The Nestorian greeting is. "The Resurrection of Christ," the reply, "Christ's love and iov. " These people have retained some or the forms of godliness but have lost the power thereof. One day a young Nestorian call ed on me who had been in Ameri ca seven years. I had not heard my native tongue for five weeks and was very glad of the oppor tunity. I was called upon to take a part in the release of a twelve year old Nestorian girl who had been kidnapped by a young man, with the help of his friends, who wanted to make her his wife, but that is a long story. I will simply add that the young man was beat en with many stripes. We returned to Meandvob and remained there eleven days. The chief of the Telegraph office and the postmaster called on me. 1 was told afterwards that tho post master can neither read nor write but he has an assistant who looks after these minor details. I went to this postoftice once just after the mail had arrived. Tho mail was placed in a heap on the floor and all those who were interested in it came and picked what they wished and took it away. We ex pected to spend about two weeks more visiting Moslem villages but a telegram came saying that Mr. Wilson was sick and I should re turn to Tabriz. Thus the tour was unexpectedly ended. It had last ed three davs less than two mouths. I reached Tabriz in three days and found that Mr. Wilson was very sick with Ap pendicitis and that Dr. Cochran. ofUrumia had been summoned and an operation was being per formed when I arrived. During the summer I had charge of the Turkish preaching in Tabriz. About the middle of September I left Tabriz again aud . attended our annual mission meeting in Urutuia and thou came to Salmas where 1 am touring at the pres ent tune. , Mr. William II.

FO THE LITTLE -ONES. - Ha Curried Mulei, but Afterward Won a Fortune. Once tliore whh n boy of the name of Hugh Mefiownn who went to Kansas City in search of work. He found this at tho stable of the street car company, and the work consisted largely in currying mules. The currying of mules is not nn at tractive vocation, but Hugh never grumbled, and he sent them out to work looking more Ct than they ever had in all the history of rapid trunsit in Kansas City. Ho curried those mules so faithfully that now he does not have to curry mules any more. McGowan is now a rich man with millions of dollars under his control. Ho had reached tho age of forty before he had earned so much as $100 n month. No man can rise to fame by the mere process of currying mules, but if this duty fall to his lot he can do it so well as to show what is in him. Thus did McOowanjhe attracted the attention of his superiors Hiid was promoted to the driving of a car. Then he got on the police force; all stations humble enough. After awhile the tmcnt of a big concern visited Kansas City and wliile there sought to find a suitable man to represent li's concern. McGowan wns chosen not merely because he had curried mules well, but that he had gone into every field in spired always by the motive to do the best he could. He is now forty-1 three years of age, a solid citizen with a long bank account and a rep utation that is of far greater value than any great sum of money. A Young Newsboy. On the corner of Tenth and Arch streets, in the heart of the city of Philadelphia, is seen "Little Joe," "LITTLE JOE AND HIS BTOIIE. as lie is called, tending a newsstand. On an opposite corner is seen his mother, who liar charge of tho main stand. Joe i. Ax years of age, quick and active anil always ready with his customers' favorite newspapers.

Philadelphia Tress. Applied Science. One evening at supper little Les ter said to his grandmother: "Grandma, do your glasses make things look bigger?" "Yes, dearie," said grandma. "Why?" "Oh!" said Lester, "I only thought if they did maybe you'd take 'em off when you're cutting the cake." Helen H. Pretl in Little Chronicle. A Puzzling Address. There is a man in Representative Knox's district who wrote a letter addressed to himself as follows: WOOD, JOHN MABS. It took some time for the postal clerks to decipher the address, but the letter was finally delivered to "John Underwood, Andover, Mass." My Baby Girl and Little Boy Blue.
