THJK UTTOJ' PAPER PRINTED
WHERE YOU USED TO IIVB
Tisn't filled "with cuts and picture
nor the latest news dispatches;
And the paper's often dampened,
and the print is sometimes
blurred.
3Thero is only one edition, and the
eye quite often catches
Traces of a missing letter, and at
times a, mis-spelled word.
No cablegrams nor " Specials any
where the battle rages
The makeup is- mayhaps a trifle
"' crude and primitive.
But ah atmosphere of homelife fills
and permeates the pages
Of the little country paper, print
ed where you used to live.
How the heart grows soft and tender
while its column's you're pe
rusing, Every item is familiar, every name
you know full well, . ,
!And a flood of recollection passes o'er
while you're musing
On the past, and weaves about you
.an imaginative spell,
you can see the old home village,
once again in fancy; seeming
To be clasping hand of neighbor,
and of friend and relative;
!And their faces rise before you as
you're idly, fondly dreaming,
O'er the little country paper print
ed where you used to live.

by way of Pine No matter what the 1
weather, so long as the sidewalks
were not icy, this was his daily
Jaunt, a distance of about two miles.
After he moved, out to his, now
house on Lindell, he arranged an
other route, which he followed until
his infirmities compelled the discon
tinuance of all outdoor exercise.
There is nothing like walking in the
open air to brush the cobwebs out
of one's brain, but instead of fol
lowing a given route day by day, it
is bettor to choose every day a new
course, where .something unexpect
ed may be seen, which will call off
the mind from its pre-occupation.
Going oyer the same course makes
walking a mere mechanical perform
ance, good enough perhaps for the
muscles, but lacking that stimulus
which makes outdoor exercise a re
lief for the mind, as well as for the
body." St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
it would be fitting for mo to stand
before this assembly as a model. I
think my place is behind the door,
in a dark cornor, with Sister Jones."
And he wondered why the meeting
was convulsed witli the laughter of
those who came to pray. Houston

IONG WALKS, IN THE CITY
"There is no Teason," says a St.
Louis teacher of athletics, "wliy peo
ple should buy a lot of expensive
apparatus in order to get exercise.
Any one who chooses to take the
trouble may have all the exercise
he wants, without spending a cent
for appliances. Of course they are
good in their t way, and there are a
great many young men who will take
little or no exercise at all, unless
stimulated by rivalry and the de
sire to make a record at the gym
nasium, but for the man who does
not care for these things, but who
does find himself benefited by exer
cise, appliances are all but useless.
"There is no better exercise for
the general health and physical de
velopment than walking. If the bus
iness men of this city would walk
down to their offices every morning
and back again in the evening, they
would add years to their lives. Two
daily walks of one to two miles each
are enough to keep any one in good
health, and will cure most cases of
dyspepsia without the aid of medi
cine. Most people, remember Arch
bishop Kenrick, who, though feeble
of constitution, very thin and appar
ently weak, attained an extreme old
.age' by careful adherence to plain,
simple diet and a regular daily walk.

his house at Sixteenth and Chestnut,
walked over to Olive, then out to
Grand avenue, then back, generally
A NEW USB FOR M. D.'S
"Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian
who is now on a starring tour
through the west, was recently in
vited as the guest of honor to the
Country club, about five miles out
ride of San Francisco, after the per
formance. As Mr. Hitchcock knew
from previous experience that a
cabman would ask a fortune to carry
him out to the club, he looked up
the address of a physician near the
theater, and after the close of the
show, he went around and rang the
bell.' The doctor opened the door
personally, and Hitchcock said: .
"Doctor, you're wanted immedi
ately out near the Country club.
Can you come right away?'
"Certainly, sir. Just step inside
a moment while I phone for my auto.
We'll be there in a jiffy.'
It was agood five miles to the
Country club. Just beyond stood a
cluster of suburban homes.
"The yellow house on the left
there," said Hitchcock, as he got
out of the machine. "By the way,
I forgot to ask you the amount of
your fee."
"Four dollars," said the doctor.
The comedian peeled off four one
dollar bills and passed them to the
'doctor.
"That will be all, thank you, doc
tor. None of these pirate hackmen
would take me out here for less than
fifteen." Harper's Weekly. ,

MAJESTY OF THE PEOPLE
Queen Victoria had had, doubtless,
some recollection of the theories of
the divine right of kings, so -when
Mr. Gladstone, then prime minister,
brought her a paper to be signed, she
said:
"I can not sign it. That does not
represent my sentiments."
"Madame," said the premier, "you
must sign it."
"Do you say MUST to me, Mr.
Gladstone? I am the queen of Eng
land." -.;'
"Madame, I am the PEOPLE of
England. Sign."
. And she signed. Louisville Courier-Journal.
CONGREGATION LAUGHED
A revival meeting was in progress""
and Sister Jones was called upon for
testimony. Being meek and humble,
she said: "I do not feel as though
I should stand here and give testi
mony. I have been a transgressor
for a good many years and have only
recently seen the light. J believe
that my place is in a dark corner be
hind the door." "'''
Brother Smith was next called on
for his testimony and, following the
oxarnple set by Sister Jones, said:
"I, too, have been a sinner for more
than forty years, and I do not think
