THE COUNTRY AND THE STAGE.
Last year the piece liked best was tn.
Fire Patrol. That was where you saw hoa,
the william was baff1ed, and the workin,,
of the electric call. You see the man tbs,
was pretending to be a william, but he reaIIs
wasn't; he was only an actor out of Inc;
pretending to ring for a messenger to plossIi
the bad man, and, Instead of that. he rnns
the messenger call clear down to the noIipa
| and fire patrol. Then they all came i'm =,
once. The messenger did not amount -
much; she was just q girl dress I'D in bow,
| clothes, but when the horses came dashin,
up and the patr d looked after everybody

OF pluck and perseverance, that means get.

THE COUNTRY TEA PARTY.
We had a tea party night before last. wa
had fried chicken with cream gravy and
parsley; we had four kinds of preser yes nor
corn bread, five varieties of cake, and the
freshest butter that was ever made. Ths
gentlemen who were invited absorbed their
supper In total silence; the women vera
more talkative. They told of the various
ailments the children had had and how
they had been carried through them; they
told of preserves, aud they told how some
body didn't trouble herself when preserving
season came. 1t delighted my soul to hear
mother come to the fore, she said: HAS
anybody here read the last number az
Harper's" Then she went on to tell abou.
an article in IT, and inspired everybody
with desire to read it. From that shs
drifted into how foolish 1t was to get your.
self all warmed up and excited making
dozens OF jars Of preser yes, and how much
| better it was to do with less unless You
could make a play-time of it, and when
| somebody scoffed at this. she told how they
did it at their house-the girls and tue
boys. Those who belonged TO her and those
who we're visiting her selected the coolies,
part Of the veranda, and there they paired
| and stoned whatever was to be fixed, and
| had it all ready for her, and then she lit tia
f. q in the gas stove and they took their
| turns dipping out things into the jars until
what was work was made an absolute frolic
She said she thought ali work could be made
that way if you would start out with
willing heart and happy one. Florences
mother said she thought 1t was all nonsense
but when you see Florences mother and
this woman, who would mother anything
that came near her, are as different as cool,
clear water and sour vinegar.
BAB's PRACTICAL CONCLUSIONS.
So far this has been my experience in the
village. l have learned two or three thiRgs,
though
have come to the conclusion that ths
men and women Of importance are the pro
ducts OF the small village.
have come 10 the conclusion that The
women we look at with pity mingled with
scurn are nine times out OF ten women Whl
10 their aiTlhood were like Florence longing
for beautiful clothes, for words OF praise
and kept down, down, as IL they were made
of wood and not Of flesh and blood.
have come to the conclusion that the !
bes. critic is q small boy who knows whs
he wants and will get 1t.
have come to the conclusion that moGhs /
ers, who make their homes delightful resorts
for everybody else's children as well as Their
own, are the ones who will reap blessing
here and hereafter.
/ have come TO the conclusion that life ID |
a village is like life in city, only it
smaller.
have come to the conclusion that liz
anyhow, is the same all the world ovsi I
The sun shines on the good and the bsi I
with the same smile, and there is just d /
much chance Of the good falling in the sma L
place as there is In a large one, and so
who is conscious of his own virtues had Dei E
beware else he stumble. This is the cor
cluson of Bah
