The Soft Answer That Failed. •'And always remember this, my son," said the man who was trying to givo his boy a proper start in life, "that ‘a soft answer turneth away wrath.’” "No, it don’t,” little Willie replied. "Day before yesterday at school I had Charley Jameson nearly scared to death, but I gave him a soft answer, and that made him think 1 was afraid, so he got mad and hit me on the nose before I knew about it. You don’t get me to be givin’ any more soft answers. A good big bluff’s the thing to fire at them, if you want to turn away wrath.” NTENTMENT. Being Sat Ufi/il wltli One's Lot Is is N »blo State of Mind, Contentment is a precious posses sion. You who have this jewel care for it carefully. Let no storms darken its beauty for a moment. Add to it day by day the precious stones of meekness and quietness. Be thankful for the gift of making others happy. Con tentment in a circle i3 like the bril liant sun shedding its light serenely on all around. Oh! for the mind that can pass by the splendors of this life and yet not covet them; the rosy cheeked girl in modest gown and shabby bonnet who can look at her well-dressed neighbor without an ach ing, envious heart. Oh! for the spirit of the man who, beholding his friend ride by in a splendid carriage, can still go calmly back to his plow or hoe with out a bitter thought. Such a one is truly as far above the sneers and laughter of the unthinking as is heav en above earth. Contentment is that quality of some minds that makes the possessor happy in spite of reverses or misfortune. Do not worry; it does no good and merely renders you more dis contented and unhappy. It wears on your nerves, makes you angry and cross, and leaves you in a state of ner vous prostration, so that when real trouble comes it finds you unable to manfully cope with it. If by strong am bition and hard work on your part you cannot better your condition in life, be satisfied with your lot and let your smile of contentment make some sun shine in the lives of your less favored friends.—Mrs. W. H. Crandall of Stan ton, Ala., in Pennsylvania Grit. HAD TO SKIP THE LATIN. _ T.awyer's Embarrassment Before Supreme Court Furnishes Amusement. “While I was in practice,’’ says •Tudgo Gates of Kansas City, “I was before the Supreme Court on one oc casion. While waiting for my case to be called I listened to a lawyer from the southeastern part of the state ar guing his case. He w-as at least 6 feet 7 inches tall, and had a voice so deep that when he spoke it seemed like the rumbling of Niagara. ‘I will read,’ he said, ‘from a work with which your honors are no doubt familiar— Blackstone.’ The judges did not smile, although there was a decided twinkle in their eyes as they glanced at each other. The man read a few lines and then said: ‘There is refer ence here, your honors, to a footnote by Lord Granville. I would have your honors pay particular attention to this note, because it is by Lord Granville.’ The judges waited ex pectantly. The lawyer held the book in front of him, glanced at it two or three times and then coughed as many times in rather an embarrassed man ner. Everybody waited for several seconds. Finally he said: 'Your hon ors, I see on closer inspection that this footnote is in Latin, so I reckon I’d better skip that.’ ” Wild Animals That Come High. That large sums of money are spent in zoological gardens every one knows, vet few persons have any idea of the actual market value of the more im portant animals in such gardens, and for this reason an article on the sub ject by Herr Ernest Pinckert, director of the garden in Leipsic, is now at tracting attention in Europe. A com mon seal, he says, is worth only a few dollars, but one of a rare species costs from $300 to $450. A lion is worth from $130 to $600, according to its age »nd race. A Siberian tiger costs $1,000, a Bengal tiger $500 and a Java tiger only $300. The price of a good zebra is not less than $500, and a good bison losts $800, while an inferior specimen can be bought for $500. An African elephant cannot be bought for less than $1,200. Finally, Herr Pinckert says, that of all exotic animals there is hardly one which is as costly as the giraffe, the lowest price for such an animal being $3,000 and the usual price trom $4,000 to $5,000. Many of the smaller animals in a zoological garden are also high-priced, one reason being that for many rare animals there is a keen competition, not only among managers of zoological gardens, but also among proprietors of circuses and other traveling shows. Not That Kind of Animal. Way back In the mountains of West Virginia a Presbyterian minister some time ago fell in with some people who seemed to be well fitted for the mis sionary efforts on which he was bent. He had been riding nearly all day and late in the afternoon came upon a cabin set in the midst of a woodland. Near the door was a spare, straight haired woman, who gazed at him curi ously. The minister spoke to her courteously and made some inquiries regarding the neighborhood. Her hus band was a hunter, the woman said “And is he a God-fearing man?” asked the preacher. “I reckon so," came the slow reply, “ ’cause he always takes his gun with him.” The visitor has tily changed the subject and inquired if there were any Presbyterians in the neighborhood. “I dunno,” said the woman, simply, “but there’s a lot ot skins hanging up in the cabin; you can look at ’em and see if you can find any.”—Baltimore Sun. Crushing a Lawyer. De W’olfe Hopper was once a wit ness in a suit for slander, and the op posing counsel in the courtroom said: “You are an actor, I believe?” “Yes,” replied Hopper. "Is not that a low calling?” “I don’t know, but it’s so much better than my father’s that 1 am rather proud of it.” “What wae your father’s calling, may I ask?” “He was a lawyer,” said Hopper.
