Provincicl

The world is small-we need not go Far to learn all there is to knowWe may spend all our lives in one small town, And find a 8eer, and meet a clown; We may dine with a saint, and walk with a cad, A Don Juan, and a GalahadTouch elbows with Merlin, and Cain, and Lear, While Jesus and Judas live very near.

-Ethel Arnold Tildcn.

Her Dimensions

An Arkansas woman wrote to a dentist in far-away St. Louis, asking for a set of false teeth. She wrote: "My mouth is three inches acrost, five-eighths through the jowl. Some hummocky on the aidge, shaped suthin like a hossshoe, toe forard. If you want me to be more pertickler I'll have to come up thar."

Trees And Knees

I think that I will never see, A joint as lovely as a knee; Poems have lines so pure and simple, But lovely knees can have a dimple.

A Motorist's Prcyer

"Teach us to drive through life without skidding into other people's business. Preserve our brake linings so that we may stop before we go too far. Help us to hear the knocks in our own motors and close our ears to the clashing in other people's gears. Keep alcohol in our radiators and out of our stomachs. Absolve us from the mania of trying to pass the other fellow on the narrow road. Open our eyes to the traffic signs, and keep our feet on the brakes."

Intolercnce

This little Globe, wrote Voltaire, which is but a mere speck, travels through space with its fellows, lost in immensity. Man, a creature about five feet tall, is certainly a tiny thing as compared with the universe. Yet one of these imperceptible beings declares to his neighbor: "Flearken unto me. The God of all these worlds speaks with my voice. There are billions of us wee ants upon this earth, but only my ant hole is precious in God's sight. All others are eternally damned by Him. Mine alone is blessed."

Becuty

Beauty does not lie in the face. It lies in the harmony between man and his industry. Beauty is expression. When I paint a mother, I try to render her beautiful by the mere look she gives her child.-Millet.

Speed

CuEtomer: "Are you sure this milk is fresh?"

Milkman: "Lady, half an hour ago, that was grass."

Mcke This A Dcy

Make this a day. There is no gain In brooding over days to come; The message of today is plain, The future lips are ever dumb. The work of yesterday is goneFor good or ill, let come what may; But now we face another dawnMake this a day !

Though yesterday we failed to see The urging hand and earnest face That men call Opportunity; We failed to know the time or place For some great deed, what need to fret ? The dawn comes up a silver grey And golden moments must be metMake this a day !

The day is come; the time is now; No better hour was gvsl hglgWho waits upon the when and how, Remains forever in the rear. Though yesterday was wasted stuff, Your feet may yet seek out the way, Tomorrow is no,t soon enoughMake this a dav !

Fecrring The Worst

A certain church deacon was considered so important that when he was very ill the church posted bulletins outside the church door, telling about his condition. On the final day of his illness, the bulletins fead:

"One o'clock, Deacon Jones very low."

"Two o'clock. Deacon Jones sinking fast."

"Three o'clock. Deacon Jones has gone to glory."

A passing wag read the bulletins, and added:

"Seven o'clock. Great excitement in heaven. Deacon Jones not yet arrived. The worst is feared."
