A Scotch schoolmaster in Banffshire years ago had strong views on the subject of dress. In the day when crinoline was the rage a girl came to school with a very extensive one, which much exceeded the space between the desk and the form on which she bad to sit. The teacher, seeing this, said to her, “Gang awa’ home and tak' off thae girds (hoops) and come back to the school as God made ye.” Another rough and ready dominie was examining his boys in a catechism and asked if God had a beginning. “No,” said the boy. “Will be have an end?” “Yes.” be replied. This was followed instantly by a buffet on the side of the head. “Will he have an end noo?” “No,” said the boy, and the master was satisfied. Tennyson'* “.Married Brows.** “1 have a question to ask,” announced the literary man. “You know Tennyson's line: "The charm of married brows. “Well, did he mean by that the crowning charm of married women, or did he refer to the charm of eyebrows that meet in the middle? In the ‘Arabian Nights’ there are many passages in which such eyebrows are spoken of as a great charm, indeed, but in the west our beauty doctors give explicit directions to prevent such growths. What did Tennyson mean, anyhow?”—Philadelphia Press. He Got It. Teacher—Willie, give me a sentence in which the term book and eye is used. Willie—Me an’ pa went fishin’. Pa told me t’ bait me hook an' I did.— Baltimore American. A Revelation. Wife—l haven’t a gown fit to wear. Husband—Jove! That's the reason none Os the servants will stay here.—New York Times.

A Dead Moose. When a bull moose lies dead in the forest he looks like some strange antediluvian animal, with his square prehensile inutile and horns spreading laterally, a peculiarity which he shares with the prehistoric Irish elk and the nearly extinct European elk of later times. The huge form tells of strength and swiftness, and withal the still dangerous gleam of the eye. glazed in its last stare, bids the hunter pause and feel almost guilty of a crime in the destruction of so much that is grand and .veiril. a feeling very different from the sentiment supposed to attend the slaughter of a deer. But the triumph of mastering the wariest and bravest animal in the woods by fair still hunting and by grimly sticking to the track for many a weary mile amply atones for any'regrets.—Century. Sneak Thieves In Churches. Au old sexton was discussing the amount of stealing that is done in churches. “Scarcely a day passes,” he said, “when the church is open without some distracted woman coming to me bowed down with grief because somebody has stolen her purse. There are certain contemptible thieves who prey on unsuspecting women who pray so bard that they forget to look after their pocketbooks. The thief watches until the woman is deep in prayer and then leans over, grasps the purse and sneaks out”—Philadelphia Record. Came In Handy. “The weather man said it would rain today, and I'm glad I carried my umbrella.” “Why, it didn't rain at all today.” “Os course it didn’t, but I met the weather man on the street, and I used the umbrella to bang him good and hard.”—Catholic Standard and Times. Willing, but Hampered. Rich Caller (who is making the round of the tenement districts)—Well, I must go now. Is there anything I can do for you. my good woman?

THE GREAT SOUTHWEST. MANY SEEKING HOMES VrHERE LANDS ARE CHEAP AND CLIMATE IS MILD. Low Rates for Homcscekcrs and Colonists Twice a Month. Many farmers in the Northern ami Eastern states are selling their high priced landsand locating in the Southwest—in Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. Manv who have been unable to own their homes in the older country are buying land at the low prices prevailing in the new country $5, SlO, sls per acre and up. These lands are mostly cut-over timber lands, some of them possessing a deep rich soil producing corn, wheat, oats, clover, cotton, fruit and vegetables. Well improved farms are scattered throughout this country. Many places with small clearings and some improvements can be bought very cheap. Our descriptive literature gives a fairly good idea of this country. It tells about the soil, crops, climate, people, schools, churches, water and health. It contains maps showing locations of counties, towns, railways and streams, and gives names and addresses of real estate dealers in the towns. Reduced rates for homeseekers and colonists are in effect first and third Tuesdays of each month, byway of St. Louis, Cairo or Memphis and the Cotton Belt Route. Let us send you our literature and quote you rates. Address E. W. Laßeaume. Gen. Pass, and Ticket Agent, Cotton Belt Route, St. Louis, Mo.
