IRONING BOARDS

"And have you music at the church?"

I asked the rural squire.

"Wall, nor" said he, "can1t say we haveJest singin' by the quoir."

A Decided Optimist

' Dealer's Son: "Pa, what is an optimist?"

Dealer: "A decided optimist, son, is a man who waits for old time lumber prices to return before buiiding."

Found God Under A Tree

Thomas Dreier, the Boston advertiser and philosopher, tells of a woman who lost two sons, and being brokenhearted, went to the pastor of the church she belonged to, for aid.

"I{e turned his cold blue eyes upon me," said the woman' '1and asked me if I did not know what my church told me about death. His talk was of books, and rules, and teachings. I stumbled out of his presence with tears running down by cheeks."

She went to the pastor of another denomination whom she knew- He listened to her story and then said: "Let us kneel down and pray." He had to play the game according to his rules.

"For the next three years," says Dreier, ttshe tried to find something about a future life among the books of the libraries. She wanted to see her sons again. She wanted some assurance that some day they would be reunited. There were many books on immortality, but in none of them did she find that which would fill her heart with comforL Then suddenly, one day, when she wasn't looking for comfort at all, she got what she needed.

"I was in the woods," she said," and there I found God under a tree. It came to me that the God that took care of the tree would take care of me. Faith fooded my heart. Nothing can take from me the belief in God that came to me under that tree. All these church quarrels aired in the newspapers, seem silly to me. I wonder why grown men will waste their time with such nonsense. Those who really have God in their hearts waste none of their time arguing over non-essentials."

When You Come In

Just grin-when you come in, And make it wide-not tight and thin. Say "Hello Bill" and Howdy Jack," And slap the other fellow on the back Stick out your mitt and crack a joke, If no one laughs, there's no bones broke, And by and by you'll make our club

A sort of happy sunshine hub

That radiates good cheer and vim, Because you grin, when you come in.

Progressiveness

We heard a story the other day that reminded us of some lumber dealers.that still exist in this. country, strange as it may seem.

There was a little old man running a little old store in a town in Virginia. One day he was dozing behind the counter when a little boy came in and in a shrill voice demanded a pound of butter. The storekeeper yawned, stretched himself, rubbed his eyes, and then in the most injured tone exclaimed:

"Gee whiz ! Ain't there nobody sells butter in this town 'cept me?"

Boys

There are ever so many kinds of boysRollos and tommys and fauntleroys; Boys who are crude and blunt and rough And boys that are made of sterner stuff. Boys who try, in their blundering way, A friendly, chivalrous thing to say, And only succeed in stammering out Some words whose meaning is left to doubt. Boys who are awkward, boys who are bold, Boys who will never do as they are told; Boys who are bashful and painfully shy; Who can't be at ease, however they try. Boys who are dull, and boys who are bright; Boys who are always ready to fight; Boys with ambition, and boys without; Boys who bristle and boys who shout, Boys who wheedle, and boys who tease, Boys who wear holes in their trouser knees. And of them all, which is the best? Away ahead of all the rest?

'Tis not a matter we need discussHe's just the boy who belongs to us !

-Carolyn Wells, in Life.

Nothing Else

"Excuse me" said she, as she stepped into the Editor's ofEce, "you newspaper men know everything; can you tell me how to treat sick bees?"

"Yes, madam," replied the wise editor, "with respect."

WELL, MAYBE HE WAS

It was his eleventh cocktail, and he proposed to her. "Dearest," he said, "the bubbling wine in my glass re' flects the sparkle in your eyes; the graceful curve of the bottle counterfeits your slender form; your touch soothes me as a cool fog brushing against my hot cheeks. The mysterious fragrance of the early morn is in your breath. Beloved, I adore you. Will you marry me?"

"Come Freddie," she said gently, "let's go home. \[fe'vo been married for ten years. You're drunk"
