All Thqr I Ask

By Amos R. Wells

,,

I do not ask, my God, for mystic power To heal the sick and lame, thd deaf and blind; I ask Thee humbly for the gracious power, , Just to be kind. " f do not pray for palaces of splendor, Or far among the world's delights to roam; I pray that I may know the tender meaning Of home sweet home.

I do not pray to see the shining beauty ' Of highest knowledge, most divinely true; f pray that, knowing my duty, This will I do.

I do not ask that man, with flattering. finger, ' ' Should point me out within the crowded mart; But only that the thought of me may linger. In one glad heart.

I would not rise upon the men below me, Or pulling at the robes of men above; I would that friends, a few dear friends, may know , And knowing, love.

I do not ask that heaven's golden treasure Upon my little blustering life be spent; But O, I ask Thee for the perfect pleasureOf calm content.

Determinotion

Every effort of the youngster with his shiny new ice skates just brought him a hard fall. He was very slow at learning, and he was getting lots of bumps and bruises. A sympathetic bystander said to him: "Buddy, you're getting hurt. Why don't you quit for a while?"

"Say," said the boy indignantly, "I didn't buy these skates to quit with-I bought'em to learn with."

He Got lhe Job

Mose had applied for a job as teamster.

"Are you familiar with mules?" asked the boss.

"Nossuh," said Mose, "I knows mules too well to get familiar wid em."

Perfect Pqtients

A medical student was advised by an old doctor to specialize in skin diseases, because:

The patients of a skin specialist do not call him in the middle of the night, nor do they ask him to visit them at their homes. They don't telephone distress messages to the country club, or send telegrams to the football stadium. Finally, they never get well, but they also never die from a skin ailment. They are perfect patients.

Snooty

They had suddenly become very rich and had bought a farm complete with live stock of all kinds. Said a visitor one day: "Do your hens lay many eggs?"

"In our position," said the rich lady, "they don't have to."

Be Sure You Hqve the Goods

A lion met a tiger as they drank beside the pool.

Said the tiger to the lion, "You're roaring like a fool."

"That's not foolish," said the lion, a twinkle in his eyes, "They call me king of all the beasts, because I advertise."

A rabbit heard them talking, and ran home like a streak; He thought he'd try the lion's plan, his roar was just a squeak.

A fox came to investigate, had luncheon in the woods; So, when you advertise, my friends, be sure you have the goods.

Goose qnd Gonder

Boss: "'When you phoned my wife and told her that I would be out on business until very late, what did she say?"

Secretary: "She said, 'Can I depend on that'?"
