many OF them are, unable to get about
except as they are helped, tits hard
enough for them on lovely DAYS, but per-
maps the sunshine in their hearts is bright
enough to tighten up their darkest hours.
BY the way, did YOU ever stop to think
that many OF our cleverest writers are
lnyalids? The invalids' corner, l think,
is the pleasantest corner of the great II.

YOU would pass the time if
you were unable TO walk except
by the use OF chair? Such is the lot of
Invalid john" For twenty-five years
he has not walked never walked

No indeed. He says there are others that

cheerful and happy as one could find in a
weeks travel. He is visiting me at this
writing.

A JOINT LETTER.
Two Young FOIks Who Are Interested In
the Howard Club.


the Howard Club.
To THE II. L. G. CLUB-After getting our
paper and pens out several times and
putting them away again without writing,
we will try to write for certain this time.
Are you all wadinR around in the mud
as we are, and did you ever see such
rainy weather? IT'S splendid time for
piecing quilt and knitting lace.
We wonder how Frank" and the baby
are getting along. We think we have as
nice little nephew as he has, but sup
pose every one thinks the baby they are
best acquainted with the smartest.
Though it is in May, we have big fires
like we have in winter. 'Sappho," write
again and tell more of your California
home. We wish more members would
write about their travels.
The page has been so much better lately.
Can't we all keep it so? "Jesse Clyde"
write again and tell more about New
York. Ii we can't all visit that city, il
does US so much good to read of the great
sights there.
We are not members of the club
but we are interested in it. Hoping to re-
ceive a welcome, we are,

An OLD Fashion Revived.

A fancy has arisen for a parting in the
hair. writes Mrs. Mallon in the June
Ladies' Home Journal. Few women can
stand one just in the center of the head,
for that requires a good forehead, per-
fectly outlined pair of eyebrows and q
straight nose. However, the hair can be
parted on the top of the head little to
one side, or indeed, If it is becoming, very
much to one side, and the parting not al
lowed to come through the short fringe
which is Just over the forehead, and which
produces a soitening effect.

made OF, let us honor them in our every
action.

We stood in the evening beneath the bright curtain
OF the fine silver sky that stretched overhead;
Before the aurora came trembling. uncertain,
And showering upon its glorious rod.
You stood up close 10 me, your fair eyes were
shining
More brightly by far than the boreal light
That would soon come A-twinking, but never d.
yining
The scene that 1t missed on that warm winters
night.
You leaned on my arm, your dark hair was flowing
Across my warm hand in a caressing way,
And your red lips before we're temptingly show
ing
A bright set Of ivorIes within at their play:
No flowers stood around me, sweet winds we're
roaming
cared not-your blue eyes we're close beiors
mine;
And your sweet breath came to me like draughts in
the cleaning
OF summer, when clover is dripping with wine.
The bright stars above in heaven were twinkling
And singing a sweet song OF hope In my ear;
And bells like the fairies Ger gently inkllng
A glorious anthem dispelling my fear.
You were so close TO me, sh really no trouble,
Ny arm was around you, fullest of blissl
reached down and stole-the reward IL was double
The lovers own trophy, IN exquisite kiss.

The provision of attractive and helpful
resorts for young men and women in our
large centers, to counteract the debasing
influences so plentifully sprinkled along
the streets, is receiving hopeful attention
nowadays. IT'S form of philanthropy
which deserves to succeed, and is a most
encouraging sign OF the times. Prevention
is better than cure-and surer, too.

The Ledger tells agood story of DR.. Jesse
Lee, an able and eloquent divine who
founded many churches in New England
and the southern states. He was noted
for his wit One day in riding from Bos-
ton to Lynn he had tilt with two law
yers. He was on horseback. Presently
the two limbs of the law, who were
also mounted, overlook him, recog-
nized him and began an attack.
Ranging themselves on each side, they
said: "Don't you often make Mistakes"
"Yes, do" "Well. in such case what
do you do-let them go2 Sometimes |
do and sometimes DON'T" was the reply.

is the father of lawyers instead of liars,
the difference would be so slight 1 should

for few moments. Then the questioner
grunted: "Humphl / don't know

Neither" replied Lee. 81 believe / am
