USEFUL

GIFTS
FTER all, it's the practical that pleases
most because it shows of more
THOUGHT. A clever nick-nack
sparkles and glimers for awhile and then it is
cast aside and forgotten.
The really useful gift is a constant reminder
of kindly feeling, ....
Give something that will last not for a few
short days, but for weeks or months or) longer
still. . .

"Maria aald," related Borker, "that
we wouldn't be able to keep her. That
waa the only trouble la my mind, too.
She waa perfect
"I watched her removing the din
nor dishes. Her movements were
swift and accurate.
"I suggested that we pay her the
highest wages, for the coffee had been
perfect and the biscuits a delightful
brown. Maria replied that that would
be the beat way In the world to loso
her. 'The more you pay her,' she ex
plained, 'the better she will dreBS,
and so the greater will be the risk.'
"I was silenced. I sat at the table
In a bitter mood. Mere was a cook
held dazzllngly before me for a mo
ment, only to be snatched away when
she had grown absolutely necessary.
8h was too pretty to last. I tried,
however, to be optimistic.
"'Maria,' I suggested, 'perhaps she
has had a disappointment. Perhaps
all her hopes have been blighted and
she will never love again I Or per
haps he died or something! '
"'No,' said Maria. She added:
'There are three or four young men
on the premises.'
"'We'll look for apartments else
where,' I cried.
"'Why?' gasped Maria.
" 'To escape the male quartet I ex
plained. "However, I came to the conclusion
that flatB and apartments would not
do at all. What we wanted was a
house with a yard; a big yard with a
house away at the back. Maria
agreed with me.
"Then we began to consider the suburbs,-
with a view of getting a place as
secluded as possible wherewith to re.
tire with'-' our cook. But, like an in
spiration, I suddenly hit upon the
Island I The very thlngl
"The island Is a very secluded place
fifty miles out In Lake Superior. It
Is very difficult to approach on ac
count of the shoals. If I took Maria
and my delightful cook out there we
could live bountifully on provisions
taken from the mainland and the op
portunity would be splendid for the
working up of my treatise on moral
philosophy.
"Maria said the plan was good. The
cook was delighted with the novelty
of it. The details were soon ar
ranged. "Wo had a delightful voyage and
landed upon the island in safety, with
our ample stock of provisions, all In
good condition.
"'We are cut off from all com
munication by mall!' I chuckled to
Maria. 'No young man can even write
to her! So wo need have no fear of
a proposal by letter.'
" 'It's a good thing thero is no wire
less station here,' mused Maria.
"'Isn't it!' I cried. 'I don't suppose
there 1b any danger of telepathy or
soul kissing!'
'"We shall have to take our
chances,' sighed Maria.
"The first day for lunch we had
chicken with cream gravy, browned
biscuit and delicious coffee.
"I arose the next morning, happy ai
a lark. I met Maria and Gwendoline,
the cook, strolling along the beach,
full of Interest In the aquatic animals
and birds, especially the birds. The
fight of the crane, of the gall and
of the wild duck I pointed out to
them and made exhaustive compart
sons, which would enable them to
distinguish each.
"'Oh! look, Mr. Borker!' cried
Gwendoline, lifting her pretty arm
pointing enthusiastically. 'What Mad
of a bird is thatr
"I hesitated: 'It Is neither a duck
nor a crane,' I decided. 'It's an air
ship!'
"We were delighted to behold for
the first time an exhibition of man's
conquest of the air. The airship
floated around us, coming lower and
lower. Presently a begoggled crea
ture, appeared and a voice called,
Hello!'
"'Hello!' cried Maria and Gwendo
line with one voice.
"The airship man was proceeding
on hla way when he sighted Gwendo
line! The airship quivered, then it
slowly descended to the ground.
'"Good morning,' said' the maa
with the goggles.
"'I hope the air currents are pro
pltlous this morning,' said I.
" 'Aren't you afraid to go up in the
air like thatr cooed Gwendoline, ad
mirlngly.
"The aeronaut atepped out of hla
ship and removed his goggles. He
was blond, blithe 'and handsome.
"He looked at Gwendoline and she
looked at him.
"Maria turned to me and whispered
sadly: 'We may as well pack up and
go back home.' "Chicago Dally News.

What Ye Hear
"Take heed what ye hear" as to
Slanderous, reports aud Insinuations.
There is a vast amount of defamation
in the world. Perhaps we have all
suffered more or less by It, hence one
would think we might be prepared to
eetlmate It at Its real value. . But not
withstanding our own experience In
regard to its evils, how prone we are
to listen to what evil tongues may say
of our neighbors! Though jealous
enough for our own reputation we
seem to have little concern for that of
others. We Bhould remember that we
have no more right to hear what evil
tongues may say, than evil tongues
have to say what they ought not. We
could not give the tongue of slander a
more pointed and successful .rebuke
than to refuse to listen to it. If we
are watchful of our ears, others would
be constrained to bridle their tongues.
If all men were deaf and bliud there
would be no slander, because there
would be uoue to hear or read it, and
the unruly member would of necessity
be kept In order. But now there are
hearers and readers, and hence the
tougue aud pen must be guarded.
Idle words are often the nause of In
estimable mischief. A good name is
rather to be ohosen than riches. But
the tongue of slander may rob us of
our good name and leave us poor In
deed. What havoc has been made of
the peace and happiness of Individuals,
of families, of neighborhoods by an
evil tongue! What were but trifles
are swelling Into importaaee by repe
tition, and thus dlfficattlea which a
ingle word might have explained and
healed, Increase lu magnitude and at
last become Incurabln. The tongue
will be evil while the heart is wrong,
for out of the abundauce of the heart
the mouth apeaketh. The best remedy
for an evil tongue Is a new heart, bat
as even the best 01 ua are sanctified in
part, we must adopt such a remedy as
wiu meei me evu iron wnaiever
source It may come; and this is the
remedj&yjIfKe heed what ye bear.
We mua refuse to listen to what the
evil tonguo says r Listening to slander
is so nearly 'related to slander Itself
that, If we give place to the one, we
are likely to be infected with the other.
The listener la partaker with the speak
er; tberefpre, at all times, now and
