OF USEFULNESS AT LAST

Alarm Clock, In ItlFlnal Moments, Proved That It Had Some Reason for Existence. (By the loony author of “How to Make a Dollar Go Farthest or Twenty Remote Places to Send a Money Order," “Solving the High Cost of Living, or the Widow Smultz Marries the Grocer," -“The Deluge, or Swigger’s New Forty-Dollar Sult and Dollar and a Quarter Fountain Pen," “Mopsle MacSwusters,” “The Lustrous Lamps of Laura Lafferty,” “Winnie Wiggin’s Wondrous Ways,” etc., etc., etc.) "Meow-w-w-w-1!

Desperately seizing his Big Slam alarm clock. Tungsten hurled it with all his might and almost all his main, muttering, “Maybe you’ll be of some use at last; you haven’t woke me up on time for two months.” , The clock hit the top of tne fence, split open, and its works, like shrapnel, flew in all directions.

ABILITY ALLOWED TO WASTE

Situation Exists That Is Not Flatts* Ing to the Intelligence of the World. For. some reasons it Is fortunate that we do not, as a rule, appreciate how much ability Is wasted in this world, remarks the Boston News and Courier. If we did our opinion of man’s intelligence would not be very flattering, to say the least. On the other hand, h’owever, It Is quite probable that if we did realize something of the vast amount of ability that goes to waste we would do all we could personally to check this loss. A large part of this wastage Is accounted for by the fact that there are • great many persons who unconsciously most earnestly develop their weakest Instead of their strongest faculties —unconsciously because they are entirely Ignorant of their real possibilities, earnestly because they are trying to do their best with the limited means at their command. Of course, many of these persons, willing workers though they may be, are not able to tell in what direction their talents lie because they enter into the serious business of making a living with untrained minds and try to dig success out of whatever comes to hand first They do not take the time to decide In what direction their natural bent lies, either through lack of opportunity or failure to appreciate the necessity for doing so; consequently, they are all at sea for a while and work with only a small percentage of efficiency. If indeed, with any worthwhile results at aIL

Food and raiment are for the body, but flowers, flowers are for both body and souh When my lips are palsied by great amotions—love, gladness, sorrow, death —end the words I would write come not, then I send soul-messengers—-flowers. When I look upon a rose, all nightmares of atheism vanish; when I inhale the rare perfume of violets, I bow to the Master Chemist; when .my pencil tries to trace the graceful flutings of the morning-glory, or my brush match the exquisite color blendings of the humble pansy, I reverently acknowledge the high hand of art. Some day, when I am In perfect attune with the Creator-God, I know I hear melodies, strangely sweet, amongst my flowers, and songs—songs tike the morning stars must have sung together at the birth of him—the Rose of Sharon. Without flowers my body could live, but I know my soul would starve.— Will P. Snyder in Book News Monthly.

Modem Aladdin’s Lamp.

Aladdin's lamp wasn't a public utility. Electricity, the servant of everyone who pushes' the button, eclipses Aladdin’s lamp as the sun eclipses a mstoh, says the Louisville CourierJournal. Electricity is a Jinn, as powerful as that which awaited the call of Aladdin. It serves individuals, science. Industries, cities, countries. The all powerful Jinn of the twentieth century is at call upon ths plunging steamer in the midst of the blackest storm upon the bosom of the heaving ocean, beyond the equator or at the Arctic circle. Electricity propels the submarine. It is the life spark of the slrplsnft- It draws the coal and iron from the mountain's heart and performs innumerable magical feats of strength and intelligence undreamed of by Aladdin.

-It's kind o’ funny,” remarked the man who was holding a job that aubjocted him to some crittdam. “What’s funny?” “The man who ordinarily knows how to explain everything never shown up whan there’s a murder mystery «• hand that really needs him.”
