A dreamer and a man of action loved a woman. The dreamer said: “I shall write veérses in her praise; they will touch her vanity and she will love me for them.” But the man of action said: “How old fashioned!. ..I shall' corner the stock market, nnq that will Dbring her.” So the drcamer \vrate vexses, and he induced a friend of his, who ran a ten-cent magazine to. print them. And the mian of action cornered something oFother and“became a’ billionaire. "In.the meantime the girl married & man who -inherfted his money, and lived happy ever after, . But the dreamer was so proud of’ his verses that he didn’t care; and the man of action was so busy that he didn’t care. . The only one to suffer was the man she married.—Exchange. Make Your Mind Your Klondike. Every man has a rich mine of precious ores if he wants to work it. The other day the news went out that great oil fields had been discovered In Klondike, the land famous for gold. The papers say men are rushing to stake claims as they did-in the palmy days of the gold craze, and there will be many who will part with all they have and make their way to what -promises to be a quick fortune. In the last rush the way to Dawson City | had many a ghastly group of bleach- | ing ‘bones when the snows of winter melted away. The-chances are this present craze will duplicate the scene. Only a few of the many make money. It will ever be thus as long as.men ‘try to win by chance the riches that usually come by toil.—Grit.

While the prac- tice ;of doing penance to earn merit is prevalent in other countries, there is ng land where it is so universal, or Wwhere it is carrled to.such a de- gree of physical suffering as in India. Every form of torture than can :be applied to the;human. frame is .wit- nessed in the land of. the Saghus. India, that “land of mysticlsm and romance,” has so- great a variety of religious faiths as to have recelved the name “The Mother of Religions.” The Hindus. haye more than 30,000,000 gods, and their worshipers wear up- on their foreheads inctive “god- marks” fo show, which god they fol- low. Oyt of these religious beliefs have come the varlous castes, thé' bane of India today, the giant hand that stays the wheels of progress. { DIFFICULT TO HANDLE FORKS When, First Introduced, Diners .Could See Little of Benefit in the Innovation. It s hard to believe the' sensation ' produced when forks. first ¢ame into use. It was in 1574, at a dinner given by Henry III of France. Here is an account by a royal lady guest. “The guests never touched the meat with their fingers, but with forks, which they carried to their mouths, bending their necks and bodies over their | plates. “There were several salads. These they ate with forks, for it is not con- sidered proper to touch the food with the fingers. However difficult it may be to manageit, it is thought better to | put the little Yorked Instrument-n the mouth than the fingers. ! “The artichokes,. asparagus, peas and beans were brought. It was a pleasure to watch them try to eat | these ,with their forks, for some, who | were -less: adroit’ than the others, dropped as many on their plates and on the way to the mouth as they were able to get to their mouths, “Afterward a great silver basln and @ pitcher of water were brought and the guests washed their hands, though It seems as if there would not'be much scent of meat and grease on them, for they had touched their food only with those forked instruments.”—Ladies’ Home Journal. Tricking Fate, Every Hindoo must have a son to perform the proper rites in his behalf so that he may be released from pur- gatory after death. Especlally cursed, therefore, is he whose fate is to be sonless. One such, a Brahman, pro- pitiated the god Vishnu and obtained {a boon. He asked for a son, but, | since a 'son was not In the man's fate, | | Vishnu refused. Twice this happened, | but the third time:the Bralman asked | that his merriments might be shared by gods and men alike. This was granted. He then went home, locked his door and, with his wife, began to | ging and dance. * Thereupon, all the | gods and men, by the terms of the ! hoon, were compelled. to sing #nd | dance with him, and the business of | theé universe was brought to a nd- still. “Stop!” begged the gods. “Only | " answered the Brabman.

The invention of Arkwright, by| which spinning with rollers was used, | pnd Hargreaves, with his spinning | Jjenny, led the way for Crompton to combine both of those iuventions in} his mule, thereby enabling spinners | to draw out lonjy thrends in large| numbers to more tenuity than had ever been done by the East Indiaus. This invention enabled Lancashire to assume the first place as cotfen spinner to the world, Samuel Cromp- ton was born December 3, 1753, at Fir- wood. He came of the farming class and had-rather a good education. On the death of his father his mother carried on the farm and set Samuel to spinning %at home.
