EXCUSfS.
•(By George Matthew Adams.)
Excuses are little Knock-out
Drops that a man uses to Dum
.founder •' and bedazzle his own
conscience on special occasions.
An Excuse never Excuses an
Excuse.
People •never try to Excuse
thing's that they themselves be
lieve to be right. When you do
your Best you art* conscious of
a Contentment that the very act
itself produces. If there is any
chance for an Excuse, the tiling
excuses itself.
An Excuse never Excuses an
Excuse.
Your Brain may be unschooled
—but the Brain is them Elihu
Burnt probably never was in
side a college, but he became fa
mous* as the “Learned Black
smith.” He found time1 in his
shop to learn forty languages. He
offered no excuses for an un
trained mind. The word Excuse
is not in the Dictionary of the
Willing and the Determined.
An Excuse never Excuses an
Excuse.
Did you ever use an Excuse as
a prop that it did not fall down?
Excuses hamper. Excuses form
Stumbling Blocks over which you
are sure to fall unless you kick
them aside and press on and for
get them. Excuses are Unnatural.
They wear false faces. They nev
er look to you as they really are.

BEING SICK.
My George Fitch.)
Meing sick is a breakdown in
the human system which causes
tlie owner of said system to lay
up for repairs. Sometimes these
repairs can be made by the road
side by a competent licensed me
chanie, while at other times the
human must go into the hack shop
[for an extensive1 overhauling, dur
jing which his valves are resej,
ibis circulation braced up, his ap
jpeiidix chiseled off, his heart ra
mmed, and fresh air pul into his
lungs.
Humans are subject to many
mechanical troubles, and it lakes
an expert to keep himself in good
order. Some of the most frequent
troubles are overeating, slilf
bearings, defective eirculal ion.

| iHE CASE OF BILL M’COY.
-—
H« R«deam*d Hi« Promiii Almost at
ttia Cost of Hi* Lifo.
The code of honor in force among
^he boatmen of the Mississippi riv
er in early days was rude, perhaps,
but strict, so far as it went. There,
for instance, was the. case of Bill
McCoy,- who fell into the clutches
of the law eighty years ago. Brought
before one of the.courts at Natchez,
he was committed to jail. The va
cation of court was just beginning,
and unless McCoy could find a bonds
man iD the sum of $10,000 he must
swelter in jail throughout the long
summer months. At the last mo
ment Colonel VV„ a wealthy citizen
of Natchez, came to the rescue and
agreed to pay $10,000 if McCoy did
not present himself to stand trial in
the fall.
In vain the colonel’s friends tried
to persuade him not to take the re
sponsibility, even “the court’s” ad
vice that he let the matter alone
was unheeded. McCoy was released,
shouldered his rifle and in due time
reached his home in “Old Kain
tuck.”
Months rolled on and the time of
the trial approached, everywhere
the chances of McCoy’s return were
discussed. The colonel had not
heard from him since his departure.
The morning of the appointed
day came, but the prisoner did not
present himself. The court had
transacted its other business and
was on the point of adjourning
when McCoy, his beard long and
malted, his hands scarred and bleed
ing, rushed into the courtroom.
Colonel W. embraced him as if he
were a long lost brother, and eves
I unused to tears filled to overflowing
when McCoy told his story.
Starting from Louisville as a
“hand” on a flatboat, he found in a
few days that, owing to unexpected
delays, he could not reach Natchez
at the appointed time. No other
craft presented itself, and so McCoy
j abandoned the “flat” and, with the
j aid of rough tools, shaped a canoe
I from the trunk of a fallen tree, lie
| rowed or paddled his canoe with
! only the briefest stops foy food and
; rest 1,300 miles and redeemed bis
j promise almost at the expense of
! his life.
| Flis trial became a mere form.
; His chivalrous conduct and the
want of any positive testimony won
for him a quick verdict of “not
1 guiltv.”—Youth’s Companion.
Cte-ver Thieves of Santiago.
The thieves of Santiago are per
1 sons of extraordinary powers. They
have a curious way of dragging val
uable objects out of open windows
with long fish lines ending in a clus
'or-of enormous hooks. “They are
as clever with them.” says Mrs.
Hugh Fraser in “Reminiscences of
a Diplomatist's Wife,” “as a good
