LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES.
As scheduled, and in accordance
with tho request of the General As
sembly of Missouri, the concert given
February second by the the Faculty
and students of Lincoln Institute waa
repeated on the night of tho anniver
sary of Washington's birthday, to a
large audience of senators, represen
tatives, their families, and many of
the leading citizens of Jefferson City.
The cultured audience Indicated
its high appreciation of the literary
and musical numbers by close atten
tion and rounds of applause.
The speakers, representatives of
the senior and sophomore normal
classes, with their respective ora
tions, were as follows: The Person
alty of Washington, Wihlam Pay ton;
The Soul of the Old Violin, Ixna P.
McNeil; Washington the Patriot
Walter Finiey; The Professional
Nurse, Jennie Schweich; Imperial
Missouri, Homer Wilburn.
The fine showing that the students
of the institute hove made in these
concerts and elsewhere reflects much
credit upon tho management and pres
ent administration, and the legisla
tive body has not failed to give ex
pression to the recognition of tills
iaci, ny neaping Donors upon the in-1
stltution and Its adminBtratlve head 1
in various tangible ways.
Large numbers of legislators have '
visited the Institute, carefully Inspect-

BETRAYING A MASTER.
In a London printing office a year
or two ago a confidential balance-sheet
was being produced. One of the com
positors was approached by a well
dressed stranger and offered a largo
sum for a copy of the figures In the
balance-sheet "No!" he replied, "I
could not think of such a thing." The
tempter, however, tried another man,
who agreed to secure a copy for bltn.
A spoiled sheet gave him an oppor
tunity of betraying his trust, and ho
would have done so bad not a private
detective arrested both blra and Hu
man who had offered the bribe. To us
comes the warning lest we, knowing
our Lord's will, deliberately disregard
BEING READY AND WILLING.
The firemen, on the alert for a
"call" that may come at any moment,
Illustrate the readiness and the loins
girded about to which our Savior re
ferred. For all emergencies the Iord
requires our readiness, and we may be
tho means, in God's hand, of saving
our fellow-men from destruction. Selected.

Among them was a queer looking
Frenchman; at least, I judged he waa
such. On his seat I noticed a dozen

these at the open window by his

To Stop Sneezing.
"There are times when to sneeze It
to be embarrassed," said a society

tion of some sort, or in the theater,
for example; but most people con
sMe themselves with the thought tbat
It is something that can't be prevent

lief, however, for It cun be prevented,
snd by a very simple expedient. When
one feels the premonitory symptoms
of a sneeze coming on. If he will just
press firmly down on the lip on either
side of and a little belo" the nostrils,
tie symptoms will gr ..,ually die off

Cowboys In Laced Boots.
The few cowboys left in the West
are taking to laced boots. There was
a time. In the heyday of the cow
country, where a special grade at
fine, high-heeled, thin-soled boot waa
manufactured solely for the cowboy
trade, since cowboys were always
very vain about their footwear. But
with decadence of their trade the cat
tlemen have lost their small vani
ties, and a full half of them rhie in
the more comfortable laced boots. So
Is the old top hoot, once worn by
most city men, vanquished in its last
stronghold. New York Sun.

fired In that condition. Light as the

OUR FATHERS HOUSE.
Ian Maolaren, beloved author of
"The Bonnie Ilrler Hush." and many
another charming book, was lately ad
dressing the children of his own
church. The British. Weekly thus re
ported In part his beautiful allegorical
talk:
"I am going to meak to you." ho
said, "about houses four houses.
First, throe, ono within another. Th
1 first bus the sky for a roof, tho moun
tains for walls, the sunlight for win
dows, the clouds for blinds, the flow
ers for a carpet, tho rivers for Its mu
sic. Tho next house may have had
six rooms, or twelve, it may have bad
i garden, or it may have looked on
ttn street, but In It your mother
moved about, nnd Its music was the
sound of her voice. The next house
you will recognize when I ay that, it
lias five disirs through which you
i may go out, and through which things
may enter; one you look through, ono
you speak through, one you smell
through ami one yon bear through.
I'hen we come to you yourself, and we
are going to think of some of the
rooms in this bouse. Therels tho li
brary, with its rows of book shelves.
Hid Its air of quiet knowledge, this Is
your mind, and all that you learu at
school and read, is going to furnish
those empty shelves, everyone's mind
Is empty to start with, and If It con
tinues empty while you mo young, you'
will bo culled silly, and when you
grow old you will bo called dull. No
room Is more desolate than ono sur
rounded with gaping shelves, no room
more beautiful than a well filled I!
hraiy. Then (I am talking as If wo
were going through nn old castle)
there is the court room-a ureal bare
room with IIkIh streaming In, ami u
raised table at one en, where tho
Judge sits. This is your conscience,
and tho cleaner this room is kept, and
the barer, and the stronger the Judge
who sils here, the belter for you and
for me. Then there Is tho strong
room where no Unlit comes In, with Its
thick walls and barred lion door, and
here are kept the parchments with all
the history of the family. This is
memory, and here a book Is put away
each year, that may not bo taken out
to bo altered but It Is a good thing,
now and then, to take the parchments
up to the big, bare court room, ami
there spreud them out, where (hero Is
plenty of light, and examine them.
Thou there is tin- picture gallery of
imagination, ami it is well for us if
the walls are hung with picttiroH of
angels ami holy things'; and there is
the church, which is your heart, where
you meet with God. You may meet
Willi Cod in any of these rooms, but
here. In this room, you must keep him
u holy place apart. Then you may go
out upon the roof, and afar off catch a
glimpse of the house beautiful, our
fourth house, which I am not going to
try to describe, but which wo call
"Our Father's House."
