Walking for Nerve*.
TV nerves suffei* from want of pure
wtygen. They run like a network all
®rough the skin and when they are
overwrought the skin Is apt to be dry
nod colorless. Walking Is an excellent
for the nerves. It gives them ■
strength to control themselves.
If one has means of leisure, there
nre plenty of other more enjoyable ex
orcises. But few forms are so bene
fktoul as the regular dally Jaunt of four
■or five miles for obtaining a good com

A Good Turn.
George Ade, with the gentle cynl
■«fem of the confirmed bachelor, was
talking In New York about New Year
rneolutlons.
“Every wife,” he said, "loves to see
her husband turn over for her sake
-a* new leaf—in his check-book.”
Dissatisfaction.
i “So you were given an Interest In
employer's business?"
| “Ye*.” replied the industrious youth;

than as a minority stockholder.”

LEISURE PROVIDED FOR.
“ ‘Marry In haste and repent at leis

“Yes; but my fiancee Is rich enough,
so I’ll have the leisure all right."
Too Much Reclining.
“How was .It that Gamps failed In
his bed-manufacturing business?” "He
got too much in sympathy with the
business.” “How could he do that?"
“He'lay down on the Job.”
The Boy—The Girt.
He—Crime seems In a pretty low
way. Only last week some woman
kidnaped a baby—photographs of it in
all the newspapers.
She—What did she take it for?
He—Nothing else to take, I suppose.
1 should have thought myself that any
body who kidnaped a baby would steal
an earthquake or borrow an attack of
Asiatic cholera.
She—Babies are not so bad as all
that. The only thing I have really
got against them is that if you leave
them long enough they grow up Into
human beings.
Had to Put In Human Interest.
An old negro preacher, says the At
lanta Constitution, gave as his text:
“De tree is known by its fruit, an’ it’s
des impossible to shake de possum
down.’’
After the benediction an old brother
said to him:
“I never knowed befo’ dat slch a text
wuz in de Bible."
“Well," admitted the preacher, "it
ain’t set down dat way. I throwed In
de possum to hit de intelligence of my
congregatloh!”
No Doubt About It.
And every good husband, no doubt.

the world’s twenty greatest women.
A Hold-Up
' , I
. - An Oppressive Trust. ./* d^
Before the Coffee Roasters’ Association, in ses
eion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas J. Webb, "
* of Chicago, charged that there is in existence a
, coffee combine which is “the most'monstrous Ira- . I
position in the history of human commerce.” y. 1
There is very slight exaggeration about this yn nJc/Q
statement. It comes very close to being literally
true. There is a coffee combine in Brazil, from
which country comes the bulk of the coffee used ^—*** *
in the United States, which is backed by the gov- __
eminent of Brazil and financed by it, which com-— 1
pels American conaumers, as Mr. Webb said, “to
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists.”
The worst thing about this is that the consum
ers of the United States have been compelled to
put up tho money through which this combine,
to further cinch them, has been made effective.
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
■nil coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
were denounced as at) imposition upon the people;
as taxing the poor man’s breakfast table, and the
\ like. The taxes were removed. Immediately
I thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty upogL
I coffee up to the full amount of the former customs
.taxes in this country. The revenue which for
merly went into the treasury of the United States
was diverted to tho treasury of Brazil. The poor
man’s breakfast coffee continued to cost him the
. same old price.
But this was only the commencement. The
’“valorization” plan was evolved in Brazil.

enues derived from the export duties for the pur- . Standard statistics of the coffee trade

The Childhearts.
The childhearts! Where are they to be?
Around the fields, or underneath a tree
In orchard lands, that blossoms white a*
snow?
Do we find the child hearts there’
O no, no!
In rosled ways that lead to meadows fair,
To woodlands green or golden as theii
hair—
Where streams smile back and sing them
soft and low,
Do we find the childhearts there?
O no, no’
Afar, perchance, some Shrine of Child
hood is,
Beyond the hills and summer’s boundaries
In Youth’s playspots where sumachs
flame and glow?
Do we find the childhearts there?
O no, no!
Or yet, at home, where all about are hints
That Youth Is here—the telltale finger
prints,
The toys mislaid and scattered to and fro
—Do we find the chllhearts there?
O no, no!
We seek in vain, for Youth Is much a
sage,
And age is Youth, and Youth alas, is Age!
The heart of youth. Youth can but seldom
show!
We don't find the childhearts there!
O no no!
The childhearts beat within the breasts of
men
Who’ve Journeyed far and then turned
back again
With thankfulness, to live in Childhood’s
spell!
So we find the childhearts here!
Well! Well! Well!

Mental Attitude for New Year.
From Wallace’s Farmer.
The man who starts out on New Year's
day with the feeling that the cards are
Btacked against him. that he Is the under
dog In the tight, that he “can’t do nothing
nohow,” will not get very far ahead;
while the man who opens his mouth wide,
expecting much—and working as if he ex
pected it—is likely to have it reasonably
well filled; not always, but generally. For
there are times when, no matter how
great the faith nor how hard the work,
things will go against us; for example,
extreme drougth, hail storms, epidemics
among iive stock, great slumps in prices,
sickness which could not be prevented.
Still, in a broad way, it is true that the
man who is a hard-working optimist gets
his fair and just reward, while the man
who is expecting little, and works accord
ing to his expectations, will say, and with
good reason: “Just my luck.”
There Is sound philosophy underlying
this. The man who has no faith in God,
or if this wotd may be misunderstood, in
nature, ©r in the benevolent intentions of
whatever Power he believes rules in this
world, and is not willing to yield obedience
to what we call “natural law,’’ on which
all good farming depends, is not likely to
think very clearly or work very hard.
The man who has no faith in himself, who
regards himself—to use an old-fashioned
phrase common In our boyhood—as “a
bound boy at a husking," this man is not
likely to use the ability, either mental or
physical, which is his heritage.
The year 1912 is not likely to be a bed
of roses for many of us; and if there be
roses, there wdll be thorns among them.
It will have its trials and difflcultiep, just
like all other years since the world be
gan; but if we face these problems with a
stout heart and a cool head and strong
hands, their solution will be much easier.
If, on the other hand, we have no faith
In the established order of nature, cruel
stepmother as she often seems to be; if
we have no faith in the God behind na
ture. and little faith in ourselves; we are
not very likely to have a happy Thanks
giving in 1912.
Some men will rucceed this year; others.
In exactly the same, or. it may be, more
fortunate circumstances, will fail; and the
explanation will generally lie in the per
sonal quality, and the success will be to a
large degree measured by his faith. Who
was it that said: “The fault is not in our
stars, but in ourselves?” The world is
not a hammock in which we can swing
lazily under fair skies, l’anr.ed by gentle
breezes. It is so ordered that If we are
to get anything, we must expect to get it.
To use an old-fashioned western phrase:
We must “get up and dust,” and “not let
the grass grow under our feet.” We are
quite likely to get in 1912 just about what
we expect and will really try to earn.
EXPECTING TOO MUCH.
Magistrate—If your parents were poor
but honest, as you say, how do you ac
count for your presence here?
Predatory Pete—I inherited only de
poverty.
Clerical Humor.
From the Quiver.
A local preacher who occasionally got
his metaphors mixed was preaching on
self-righteousness and ended his dis
course by saying: “Let us remember
that, after all. our righteousness is but
filthy rags hanging on the branches of
barren fig trees.” On another occasion
he was preaching on besetting sins, and
when comparing these to obstacles in our
path exclaimed: “Let us beware of these
stones by the wayside, lest they turn
I again and read us."
I The at one time well known preacher
among the Wesleyans, Peter Mackenzie,
In reading the third chapter of Daniel in
variably abbreviated the fifth verse,
wherein are enumerated the instruments
of the Babylonian band, most of them
with hard names, to the “cornet,” etc.,
and when the names were repeated in
verses 10 and 15 said: “The band as be
fore.” He was a lay preacher of the old
order who was admitted on to full plan
without having read the prescribed “Wes
ley’s Sermons,” etc. He boasted of his
lack of "book learning,” and scornfully
told a student of the new school who was
learning I^itin that “English was good
enough for Paul; ain’t it good enough for
you?”
Deep Grained Americanism.
