1t was an entirely new experience in the
| life of little fve-year-old girl of our viii
lage. She had never witnessed wedding
and had not had an inkling of the coming
marriage-the first in the family-of one Of
her sisters until the eve of the event. After
the conclusion of the ceremony and the
congratulatory Misunderstanding, the officiating
minister took the little Miss on to his lap
and asked her what she thought of the af-
fair. She will doubtless hardly ever in her
life take "cheaper" view of anything
than she did then, as she replied, 90 think
it is pity silly performance"
Some one recalls remark of the witty
| wife of one Of our farmers of some years
ago. 1t may be worth repeating for prin-
ciple it contains that has much wider APP
| plication than simply to the case in hand
One of the products of her husbands farm
was honey. and this housewife stongly sus-
| pected its power to attract the lovers of
"loaves and fishes " to her home as visitors.
They who knew her could easily imagine
the smile on her lips and the fire in her
black eyes as she divulged this governing
principle of conduct: " If people come to
| see me, they get honey; If they come to get
honey, they see me-! VI"
The following veritable experience of a
Vermont acquaintance has an amusing side,
to say the least. 1t was in the beautiful
city of Oakland, Cal. Whatever the new
and startling sensations of this acquaint-
ance on going there for temporary stay,
one there was that was novel in the ex-
trene and unaccountable. For a time it
was borne in silence, and alone, and, very
possibly, with feeling akin to shame, till
at last it became insupportable. Being of
| physical nature, recourse was had to a
physician. He listened patiently to re-
! cital of the case and jumped quickly to this
diagnosis: Fleas, Mss Blank" In any
other place than physicians office Miss
Blank would have thought she was
heas-ed again, as she was called upon
10 pay consultation lee OF so. AT present
a resident of California and distant some
seven miles from town, she is charged $50
visit for medical attendance. If all this
were fair type of Californian experience,
ought not the state seal to be blood
sucker?"
