HOW HE WON HER.
The Story of Sir surgius Cobbler and His
Daughter.

The Story of Sir surgius Cobbler and His
Daughter.
Sir Surgius Cobbler was humble
knight of st. Crispin.
He put his whole soul into his work,
though much of it may truly be said to
have been no more than half-soled.
He was a believer in the good book,
too, and was content with his humble
lot, knowing that in time the last shall
be first.
There was no one in the world near
to him save his daughter, beautiful
girl of IS, just blooming into the glory
of womanhood. r..-..
She was his all.
And she was beloved of Leather, the
sturdy youth who had grown up by the
side of Sir Surgius and had ever assisted
him in his work. ..
Sir Surgius;" quoth Leather one day.
~ love your daughter and fain would
have her for my bride"
At first Sir Surgius waxed wroth, and
then he waxed thread, and pain came
where anger had been.
''Would'st take my daughter from me,
sirrah?" he said, tremblingly. ''She-
she, who is my ALP"
The old mans heart sank at the
thought of losing her.
AYE, Sir Surgius," quoth the youth,
laying his hand kindly on the old
knights shoulder, ''that would l, and
gladly, for then your all would be my
all, and with that addition, Sir Knight,
l would have skill enough to do for
three, whereas l now do but for one"
Sir Surgius smiled as the girl came in
and stood by her lovers side
"Take her, my lad," he said, 1.-THE
sight of you two heals my grief. 1 trow
me no finer pair was ever seen beneath
this roof"
So Leather won his bride. Detroit

London,s Poor Mau TaciIIties.

It is scarcely credible that people can
be living within about forty miles of
London, and yet be entirely outside the
range of postal delivery. This, how
ever, is the condition of the inhabitants
of hamlet of the town of Coggeshall,
Essex, known by the inappropriate
name of Blest-end. Although they are
living within half mile of three differ
ent postal districts, letters are never
delivered to them, but frequently lie at
the post office week or more before
they are called for. Within the last
few weeks relative of one of the in
habitants died, and information of the
event was sent him by post. 1T did not
reach it's destination, however, until
after the funeral. Mr.. Cyril Dodd has
had his attention called to the matter,
and as result of his action Sir Arthur
Blackwood has promised to see whether
the circumstances are such as to Justify
the department in establishing postal
deliyery.-London Daily News.

Antiquity of Butter.

Butter, which is almost indispensable
to the meal nowadays, wns formerly
used solely as an ointment. Herodotus,
a Greek historian, is the first writer
who mentions butter, B. G. 500. The
spartans treated it very much the same
as we do cold cream or vaseline, and
Plutarch tells how hostess was sick
ened at the sight of one of her visitors,
a Spartan, who was saturated in but

ticle to the Greeks and the Germans

But the latter did not use it for food.

QUESTIONS OF AMMUNITION.
similarity Between the Wise Commander
and the PrnyIdent Housewife.

Hmilarity Between the Wise Commander
and the ProvIdent Housewife.
1t is clearly merely truism to assert
that gums, unless they have shells and
powder, are of no more value to an
army than market carts. To feed the
voracious appetite of a great line OF
batteries belching forth shell and
shrapnel is almost as arduous task as
to insure their accuracy of aim or their
correctness of movement into position.
To find them in projectiles is a part OF
the science of war as necessary and as
difficult as to obtain food for the men
or fodder for the horses.
A carefully planned and accurately
working scheme of supply has to be
arranged behind the fighting line, the
closest connection between consumer
and producer has to be established,
and the caterer of bullets is every whit
as Indispensable as the caterer OF bread.
To keep the stream of plenty flowing
without check through the various
channels it is necessary that officers
should be familia with their size, ex-
tent and construction, that each should
have ocular demonstration of the acci-
dents and obstacles that are sure to
intervene. and practical experience OF
the best means of obviating or over
coming them.
The commander who directs and en-
courages the hot FIRE in front must
keep watchful eye on the ammu-
milton columns behind, like the provi-
dent housewife who, while pressing
hospitality on her guest in the dining
room. does not leave the state OF the
larder out of her calculations.-Satur'
