Political “Pome.” The fight is drawing to its close. The noise will soon be gone. There but remains the last appeal that’s due from More Anon, a few brief words from You Know Who as friend speaks unto friend, Justitia throws a final fit, and then we have the end. A “Note of Warning” there may be from Old Subscriber’s pen, and Constant Read- er may emerge one moment from his den. Vox Popull may ralse a wail that pierces heaven’s vault, insisting that the tlme has come when we should call a halt, and One Who Knows may yet, perchance, his stormy volce uplift and ask of all the unl- verse, “Ah, whither do we drift?”’ But all the fighting has been done. There is no longer strife. So let us cut out polities and lead the higher life.—Emporia (Kan.) Gazette. A Picture Story. Two hunters are seen walklng all over the moving picture. They think they are following bear | tracks.

There are still to be found in Malta a number of small stones shaped and colored like the eyes, tongues and other parts of serpents. The superstitious among the Maltese connect these with the tradition that St. Paul when shipwrecked was cast on their island and that it was there that while lighting a bundle of sticks for a fire a viper fastened on the apos- tle’s hand. St. Paul calmly shook the reptile off into the flames, and no harm followed. The natives wear these stones as talismans, in which character they suppose them servicea- ble In warding off dangers from snake bites and poisons. They are found in St. Paul's cave Imbedded in clay and are set in rings and bracelets and when found to “be in the shape of a tongue or liver or heart are hung around the neck. They are also taken internally, dissolved in wine, which method s attended, ac- cording to some people, by more im- mediate results.. Blessings. She was the daughter of the village physician, 8 sunny curled darling of six, whose big blue eyes rested on the face of the Sunday school teacher with an attention and intelligence most encouraging. So when, after a discourse to the children on the beauty of appreclating their blessings, the teacher asked for an explanation of a blessing the doc- | tor’s little daughter rose and said: “If my papa was to have a patient and she was to get well, and she was to pay my papa, and my papa was to |2 glve the money to my mamma, and my mamma was to buy me a new dress and take me down to the vacant lot and let me ride the great big fierce lion on the merry-go-round, that would | # be a blessing.”—Woman’s Home Com- panion. Too Much For Him. Smithson used to labor under the im- pression that he was a born humorist, but he has given up trying to be funny now. He called one day on an old school friend and was shown into a room where his chum’s sister was busy ar- ranging a quantity of dried grass which she had collected. “What a quantity of dried grass you have collected, Miss Ritchie!” he said. Then his humor burst forth. “Nice room for a donkey to get into”— “Make yourself at home, Mr. Smith- son,” said the girl pleasantly. ‘When he arrived home all the humor was crushed out of him forever.—Lon- don Scraps.
