The old Temple clock in London bears a curious inscription, the origin of which is ascribed to a chance re- mark. Some 200 years or so ago a master workman was employed to repair and put in a new face upon the clock. When his work was nearly done he asked the benchers for an appropriate motto to carve upon the base. They promised to think of one. Week after week he came for their decision, but was put off. One day he found them at dinner in commons, “What motto shall I put on the clock, your lordship?” he asked of a learned judge. “Oh, go about your business!" his honor cried angrily. “And very suitable for a lazy, daw- dling gang!” the clockmaker is said to have muttered as he retreated. It is certain that he carved “Go about your business” on the base. The lawyers decided that no better warninz could be ¢iven them at any hour of the ¢ and there the inscrip- tion still rewins. - [arper’s Weekly. The Exceptional Young Man. The exceptional young man, says Orison Swett Marden in Success Maga- zine, is the one who looks upon his employer's interests as he would his own, who regards his vocation as an opportunity to make a man of himself, an opportunity to show his employer the stuff he is made of, and who is al- ways preparing himself to fill the posi- tion above him. The exceptional young tian is the one who never says, “I was not paid to do that,” “I don’t get salary enough to work after hours or to take so much pains.” He never leaves things half done, but does everything to a finish. The exceptional young man is the one who studies hig employer’s busi- ness, who reads its literature, who is on the watch for every improvement which others in the same line have adopted and which his employer has not, who is always improving himself during his spare time for larger things. Labrador’s Short Summer. How brief is the summer on the highlands of Labrador! says Hesketh Prichard in the Wide World. Snow does not melt till July, then with a rush midsumimer comes. Grasses and leaves grow almost visibly, the wild cotton soon flings out its little white pennons, millions of berries ripen on the ground, the loon cries, the ptarmi- gan calls, and you may even see a butterfly balancing in the warm wind. But then also wakens the countless army of hunchbacks, lean and gray mosquitoes, piping blithely for blood. So summer reigns. Then suddenly one day at the end of August, after the sun has sunk behind the barren crags through a balmy warmth of evening, one may wake up to find everything transfigured and the first snow of an- other season already falling.

A southerner who was visiting St Louis wandered into the dining room of the hotel and, seeing a negro servant who had all the importance of an army otficer standing near the door. asked him who the “*head nigger” was around there. The negro stretched himself to his full height and pompously replied that “there ain't no niggers in St Louis, sah. We is all gem-men of col- or.” “Well,” said the southerner, drawing a $100 bill from his pocket and finger ing it, “I expect to be at this hotel for some time and want to make sure that I will be taken care of.” “Oh, sah,” said the negro, whose eyes were popping from his head, “did you want to know who the head ‘nigger waiter’ is?

He remained on the bridge till the mate came up and said: “We've done all we can. Hadnt you better tell the chaps to get out the boats?" “Yes. yes. my lad, if you think so.” said the captain, who knew the ouly choice left was whether to.go down with the ship or in a small boat, which couldn’t live ten secouds in that sea. The Pnzinee_x;s came up with the news that the ftires were all out. “Very well, my lads,” said the captain quiet- ly; “save yourselves if you can.” 'Won't you fetch the wife on deck. sir?” asked one ot the men. “No,” was the calm reply; “let her sleep, poor old girl. 1 am going down to have a smoke.” And, smoking by the bedside of his sleeping wife. he went down with the ship.

Many in Bemidji are now using the simple buckthorn bark and gly- cerine mixture known as Adler-i-ka, the new German Appendicitis rem- edy. A SINGLE DOSE relieves con- stipation, sour stomach or gas on the stomach almost INSTANTLY. This simple mixture antisepticizes the di- gestive organs and draws off the impurities and people are surprised how QUICKLY it helps. E. N. French & Co.
