A young man and a young woman lean
over the front gate. They are lovers. 1t
is moonlight. He is loath to leave, as
the parting is the last. He is about to
90 away. She is reluctant to see him
depart. They swing or the gate.
cpl never forget you," he says, sand
if death should claim me, my last thought
will be of you"
''Ill be true to you," she sobs; cpl
never see anybody else or love them as
long as I live"
They part.
Six years later he returns. His sweet
heart of former years has married. They
meet at a party. Between the dances
the recognition takes place.
"Let me see," she muses., with her fan
beating a tattoo on her pretty hand,
''was it you or your brother who was my
old sweetheart %
Greatly, I don't KNOW" he says.
Probably my brother"

A Struggle for Princinle.

A rainy day had housed us up in the
cabin of a Tennessean, and about 9
o'clock in the morning a man who was
addressed by our host as Uncle Billy came
riding up through the steady pour on a
mule. The animal was placedin the stable,
and rs the two men entered the house our
host observed:
"Well, Uncle Billy, how'll you trade
mules 2"
"Oh, 'bout So tew boot" was the an
swer.
They returned to the stables and talked
until noon. Then we had dinner, and
they talked until 4 o'clock. The rain let
up a bit then and we went out t see a
cave, leaving them talking mule. We
returned at 6 and they were still ut it.
We had supper, and the interrupted con-
versation was resumed and kept up until
8 o'clock. We went off to bed with
Uncle Billy saying:
"Tell we what I'll dew. I'll trade fur
So tew boot"
1t thundered about midnight, and I
woke up and heard hat mule talk still
going. At 9 o'clock I got up. Uncle
Billy was just riding away.

asked of our host.
"Beat him down to So and three bits, {"
he replied.

The Moon.

Astronomers are continually MAKING
astounding 'a%'culatio IS with regard to
the moon. Prof. Darwin says there was
a time, about ifty-four millions of years
ago, when the moon was so near tn,
earth that it revolved around it some
where between two md four hours. It
must have rubbed the tops of some of
u highest m untains. Telescopes
were unnecessary in these days. All
that an astronomer had to do was to
climb a mountain and wait till the moon
came along, then step on and investigate
things at his leisure. Finally the moon
started on its long spiral journey away
from the earth, and we shall. lose it al
together q few million years hence.
