THE QUIET HOUR Jim Jeffries Advice. Hundreds and thousands of boys and j oung men will listen to what a fighting man has to say, who would not pay any attention to what a think ing man would say on the theme Before his last fight in lteno on the Fourth, Jefferies was asked by a New York reporter what advice he would give to young men. Jeffries said. “‘I’d give a boy the same advice that his mother would give him. But the boys of today seem to think they know more than their parents, and when the/ find that they don'* its too late. Every boy that Finokes a cigarette may be perfectly •cure that he is doing his best to make himself of no account. Cigarette smoking ruins a boys lungs it poisons and hurts his brains. Ho you think I'd have this chest on me if I'd had a box of cigarettes in uiy pocket when 1 was a boy. What I t< .1 you about cigarette smoking is true of drinking. The best tiling a bay can do is to mind his mother. She knows wiiat is good for him, and the bov who thinks she doesn't is a fool. Where ' A wealthy and prominent planter bad'uied and was buried. A neighbor » asked one of the dead man’s slaves, a shrewd and pious darky, whether lie thought Massa had gone to heav en. The old fellow shook his wool ly head doubtingly, and when press ed for an opinion, replied: ‘When Massa want to go North he always talk about it a long lime before he go > nd begin to got ready. Massa new r said nothing bout heaven, and not tel ready to go. Massa not gone to heaven” The old darky was right. “As the tree falls so shall it lie.” A heavenless life spells a heavenless eternity. A prince once gave liis jester a stick and said to him: “If you ever find any one who is a greater fool than yourself, give him the stick.” Som> years later the prince was ill, and was visited by his jester. As the sick man told him that he would soon leave him, the jester said: “And where are you going?” “To the other world.” “Will you return in a month's time?” “No.” “Will you return in a year's time?” "Not even then.’ “But when then will it be?” “Never.” “What provision have you made for so long a journey, and for living in the country where you are going?” “None at all.” “What, none at all? In that case take my stick, you are just leaving for ever, and you have not even devised any means whereby you may live happily in the other world whence you will nev er return! Take my stick, for I, at any rate, have never been guilty of such folly as that!” The Bigot. There is no bigot so hopelessly fettered as the man who is always finding bigotry in other people. And there is none so creed-bound as he who is always flaunting as his creed, “I believe all creeds are wrong.” He, like every one else,has a belief; but his belief leads him nowhere, while the beliefs of those who rejoice in their creeds lead to a definite some where. The believer’s creeds is a possession of value, the result of thought and conviction that seeks to build The creed-attacker's creed is an obsession, such as one finds in the disordered minds of a lunatic asy lum; seeking to destroy others, it destroys only itself. The Golden Privilege of A Circum scribed Life. Thirty years ago, in a little prairie town in Kansas, there lived a little woman who was appointed teacher of the primary class. The woman car ried a delicate baby on a pillow when she first went on duty. As time passed, being annxious to accomplish much, she organized a mission hand and talked to the little group about the great, commission and taught them to save and give. Although the woman herself has not been out side the prairie town more than once, and the population of the town is numbered by hundreds only, the fol lowing is the result of her teaching and effort: Five of her little class are or have been to the foreign field. One went to Africa with Bishop Taylor, married, was widowed, re turned and is now in charge of a girls sehoo’ in the south. One is a medical missionary in the PbiUippines, One is in the Y. M. A. work in the Orient. One is a missionary in Korea. One is a missionary in Alaska. | The one in Alacka wrote recently j to tiij little old mother, “You made us feci that we should be mission* I i ariea.” 1 What a record for one little woman, j and what a multiplication of one lim ited circle of influence and opportuni ty.—Indiana Awakener. The Knight of The White Feathers. 1 Long ago there lived the good old King Arthur. In those days the rich people were not kind, to the poor people. Strong men hurt weak men. Robbers stole from all. So King Arthur asked men who wished to help make things better to be his knights. These knights were to lov< Hud, to do good and brave deeds and to fight for poor and weak people. Now there was one knight called the Knight of the White Feathers, be cause he always wore two white leathers in bis helmet. He rode a white horse and had a long white beard, for he was not young. For some time i.he Knight of the White Feathers had nothing to do. The people thought an old man would not be strong enough to fight for them. The other knights laughed at hint and called him Old Sir White Beard. But the Knight of the White Feath er knew h > was strong, if he was old, so he put on his helmet with the two white feathers,leaped into his saddle* and blowing ids trumpet, he called out, “Ho! The Knight of the White Feathers! He comes to fight for the children! Ho! ” No sooner had he spoken these words than from behind a tree crept a child. His clothes were torn, as if by briers, his little hands were scratched and stained with berry juice and on his cheeks tears had made | clean paths through the dust there. “I’m lost!’ lie said, in a tiny voice, j “Will you please find me, Sir | Knight?” The Knight of the White Feathers leaned down from his horse and pick ed up the poor little boy, setting him in front of him, where he could hold him and see that no harm came to him. The little boy leaned against the knight and his head nodded. “Where do you live?” asked the 1 knight. “With mother,” said the boy. “And where does mother live?" “In our tiouse, of course,” “But how shall we know when we j get to your house?” asked the knight, smiling down into the boy’s; sleepy face. “Cause—cause there is —lions —at ] the gate;” and the boy fell fasti asleep with one hand holding the knight's white board. “On, Charger!” whispered the knight to liis horse, and away they, went like the wind. Every now and j #ien the knight blew his trumpet and j called out, “Found! by the Knight of | tiie White Feathers, the boy of the; House of the Two Lions! IIo!” Soon a voice answered, “Sir Knight/ stop’” It belonged to an old man, who said, “Turn to your left when you reach the place where four roads cross, and you’ll come to the House of the Twp I,ions.” Thanks,old man, said the knight; tossing him some money. “On Charg er!” and away they went like the wind .till they reached a gate hav ing two stone lions beside it. “Found!” called the knight, rap ping on the gate with his sword; “by the Knight of the White Feath ers, the boy of the House of the Two Lions!” From the house came the boy’s mother hurrying, crying with joy, the nurse who had let him stray away, and the father who had been hunting for his child all day. When they turned from kissing' the boy to thank the knight all they saw was a cloud of dust far away. The knight had not ridden long when he was stopped by a woman, who said, “Sir Knight, there is a child in a small house two min utes’ journey into the forest, who has to stay indoors all day, for a robber has stolen her shoes, and her feet are too tender to walk without them.”i “On Charger!” said the knight, and into the forest they went, past the house with the child’s sad face at the window, till before him the knight saw the robber rdiing with the child's shoes hanging over his saddle. “The Knight of the White Feath ers!” he shouted, “to fight for the child's stolen shoes!” The robber was surprised that a knight should fight for so small a thing, but long they fought, till the knight rode off with the child's shoes, and soon she was running hap pily about the forest. And when the knight came to j King Arlhut and told of his adven tures no one laughed any more at him, and King Arthur himself said. “Thou shalt no longer be called the Knight of the White Feathers but the Childrens' Knight.'' —- Beginners Stories. 1 The Falls City State Bank Will be pleased to loan you what money you may need on approved security.
