A celebrated journalist once concluded
an important leading article with "A care.
fully composed and eloquent peroration.
syncrasy caused his peroration to appear
to the world cut up in separate lines, ana
posing as a poetical quotation.
The irate journalist, conscious that
some of his best work had been spoiled.
rushed wildly into the editors sanctum.
and pointing to the printed muddle. ex'
citelly exclaimed:
Look at this! See what that tiendish
printer has done. He has ruined-uttrrly
ruined my work."
The editor, with that serene composure
and affability, which is so characteristic
Of his race, listened quietly to II recital
of the printers crime, and then gravely
arose.

with copy of the paper, strobe into the

claimed the editor. "Do you know that
this is some of Mr.. SIS finest prose

To set it up for poetry?"

Family Anniversaries.

ton to birthdays and other family ami
versaries. Too much cannot be done to
make home attractive, so that our boys
and girls will prefer it to all other places.

and everything has been so lovely, just

With hearty hug and kiss. For weeks
,he boy had been looking forward to this
iay, planning and making a little birth
day gift as a surprise, and when the
time came, his whole mind was given to
making his mother happy
But it's so much trouble to celebrate
birthdays" complain some mothers,
and in large families they come SO
often.
Yes, it is some trouble; but how can
Ne keep our children contented and
happy at home without taking trouble?
IND no mother regrets the trouble when
she sees her children regarding their

world. Try to celebrate the birthdays
one year, and see if it does not "pay" in
the enjoyment of the whole family. Let
10 one be forgotten, from father to baby,
and try to have each one interested in ali
the others, planning, if possible, some
little birthday gift. No matter how SIM
pie or trifling it may be, the love and
thoughtfulness that so with it will make
it precious.

THE GAY GORDON"

Aberdeen had fallen, and the brave
cavaliers of Montrose rode trium
phantly into the ancient city. The
maidens of Aberdeen focked to their
high easements to gaze upon the
cavalcade of handsome riders. fo1
though the men of Aberdeen had
often wavered between the king and
covenant, the women were loyal,
and dearly loved the bold cavaliers.
The leader of this little troop was
an especial favorite among the fair
DANES, and indeed he was goodly
sight to look upon, bestriding a snow
white charger, and clad in the
snowy. not to say gaudy, habili-
ments of cavalier of that period.
His doublet and trunks were of Grim
son velvet, puffed and slashed with
white satin, heavily embroidered
with gold and covered with innu-
merable bows and streamers of white
satin ribbon. His features were reg
ular and wore an expression of
geniality, though the well cut lip,
shaded by a light mustache, and
sharply defined chin, with its Van
dyke beard, gave evidence Of energy
and decision. His long light hair
fell in love locks" upon his shoul-
ders, and mingled with the white,
dropping Rlumes of his broad leafed
hat. A cuirass of polished steel COW
cred his breast, and a richly en-
broidered baldric supported long,
flexible rapier by his side. Such was
Lord George Gordon, Montrose's gen
eral of cavalry, as he rode into Aber-
deem that day at the head of his
troop, to take possession in the
''lSing's name"
No wonder the maidens of Aber-
deem fiocked to their easements to
gaze upon him, for he was known far
and near throughout the land. The
English called him the second cavalier
in Scotland, placing the Marquis of
Montrose only before him. In the
lowlands he was called the Gay
Gordon of the Garioch." Among his
native hills, where his father, the
Marquis of Huntly, reigned like a
petty king amid his clan, he was
known as the Hope of Huntly."
There was one maiden in Aberdeen,
bolder than her companions, who
stole down to the pavement, all un-
conscious of danger, to have nearer
view at the cavaliers. Marjorie Sin
clair had stolen away from her nurse,
and gayly walked along the street,
rejoicing in her freedom.
She needed not that the streets
were deserted and doors and windows
securely barred. Many a warning
cry was shouted to her from the high
easements, but she turned a deaf ear
and pursued her way.
She heard the tramping of the
horses hoofs as the cavaliers ap-
preached and crouched beneath a
neighboring door arch to gaze upon
them.
A band of McColl's highlanders
had entered the city with Gordons
troop, and were rowing like wild
beasts, reckless of restraint, through
the streets. One of these chanced to
spy Marjorie With cry of delight
he pounced upon her and dragged her
out into the street. A scream of
alright burst from her lips and she
gave herself M for lost, when q
