It was an inscription marked with a pen on the back of a postal card nailed to the desk. The inscription read as follows Which? Wife or whisky? The babes or the bottles? Home pr hell? Where did you get that and what did you nail it (there for? I asked the merchant. I wrote that myself and nailed It up there, was his reply, "and I will tell you the story of that card. Some time ago I found myself falling into a drinking habit. I would run out once In awhile with a visiting customer, or at the invitation of a traveling man or on every slight offered. I soon found that my business, faculties were becoming dulled, that my stomach was continually out of sorts, my appetite failing, and a constant craving for alcoholic stimulants becoming dominant. Ij saw tears !in the eyes ..of my wife, wonder depicted on the faces of the children, an$ then I took a long look ahead. One day I sat down at this desk apd half unconsciously wrote the Inscription on that card. On looking at It upon Its completion, its awful revelation burst upon me like a flash. I nailed it up there and read it over a hundred times that afternoon.

All who wish to swear on the public higway may do so, provided there is no objection to paying for each cuss at the rate of 50 cents a word. A dispatch clivities, and I regard that card as an Inspiration. It speaks out three solemn warnings every time I look at it.

A Newsboy Soldier. One of the most blessed things about the old, old story is that it can be npderstood by the poor and the ignorant and weak as veil as by the great ' ' and mighty. The Christian Advocate told how a newsboy grasped the essence of Christianity as follows: Cant do it. Its against orders. Im a soldier now, said one newsboy to another. Yes, you look like a soldier! was the mocking reply. I am, though, all the same, and Jack straightened himself and looked steadily into Jims eyes. Jesus i3 my captain, and Im goin to do everything on the square after this, cause he says to. That won't last long, said Jim. Just wait till youre in bad luck and awful hungry, and youll hook somethin fast enough. No; my captain says, Dont steal, and I wont. What I cant earn Ill go without, and if Im likely to steal at any time Ill just call to him. He's always watchin to see if any one cf his soldiers need help. He'll help me to do anything hes told me to do.

One of the temperance papers tells the following story: One woman determined that her husband should know how he looked when he was drunk. She knew how he looked well enough, and needed not that any man should tell her. Her children also knew by sad experience, but the man himself had a very imperfect Idea of the state of the case. So once when he came home and fell into a maudlin slumber sbe sent for the photographer to come ffthwith, and on his arrival she set before him his work. She ordered the photographer to photograph her husband as he sat in the chair. The photographer did his work, and did it well; and when the photograph was finished and laid beside the husbands place at breakfast It was a revelation, and the sobered gentleman experienced a decidedly new sensation. There was no need of explanation; the thing explained itself. There was no chance for contradiction; the sun tells no lies. There was no room for argument. MARIE CHAMPNEY. wowwow-wow-wow-wo- w, op The Happiest Time. Vanity of vanities, all is vanity, said the wise preacher of old. A notable confirmation of the fact that all earthly riches and power without God are mere shadows and vapors appears in a Napoleonic anecdote: When Napoleon was in the height of his prosperity, and surrounded by a brilliant company of the marshals and courtiers of the empire, he was asked what day he considered to have been the happiest of his life. When all expected that he would name the occasion of some glorious victory or some great political triumph, or some augut celebration, or other signal recognition of his genius and power, he answered without a moments hesitation: The happiest day of my life was the day of my first communion. At a reply so unforeseen there was a general silence, when he added, as if to himself: I was then an innocent child. The Roys Did WelL There are some smart boys at the little schoolhouse at Partridge Cove, Lamoine, Maine.

The athletic organization, now that it has officers and an exclusive cheer, feels itself of full grown stature and able to take care of itself, allowing only for the chance of a little spreading and strengthening as a club as well as the members individually, which is the raison detre of 'an athletic club. The feeling was so strong in the college last season that there should be some definite athletic stand made, tfiat in June, before the girls scattered far and wide to their homes, the new association was started, a constitution drawn up and submitted, to the faculty, who gave their approval, and then the Mark Twain Desire. officers for the coming year were Mark Twain, who recently started on elected.

For basket ball is the football of the girls colleges, and the "elevens are as proud of their prowess as the stoutest and longest haired collegian among the boys. The right to wear the white V, therefore, and also the date, may be owned by the same young woman, who in such a case would probably be compelled to ask for an Increase in her allowance that she might own two sweaters and not hav her trophies clash with each other. Work in the gymnasium is obligatory, unless the student is excused by the physician on account of her health; so a good standard of muscular development is kept up, and there was a good foundation to build on when the era of more active athletics was inaugurated. Every girl on entering the college must go to the cosey little office in the gymnasium, where Miss Ballintine and her assistant, Miss May, make a thorough physical examination and record, and tell the student what exercises she can take and what muscles need developing. Dr. D. A. Sargents system of physical training is used, and in six months' work in the gymnasium last year, less than two hours per week being required, the average strength of a class of 127 students was increased most materially. One hundred per cent of the class added nearly five kilos to the chest measurement, and improved in the same degree in all parts of the body. The gymnasium hall is large and well fitted up, and in an adjoining room there is a swimming bath, 43 feet long by 24 feet wide, where the physical director gives lessons in swimming to any whot wish to learn. In the theater, above the exercise room, there is a sufficient space for indoor tennis and basket ball. But, of course, the new Athletie Association has in view systematic training in outdoor exercise more than general gymnastics, and in these lines the girls have done very good work, considering the recent date of their interest in the matter.
