stranger than fiction. Therefore, when
I say that the war came on, I intend
that the declaration should have its
full meaning. I left home full of
pride. I was captain. My mother
prayed; but Munette did not seem to
be very much affected. "Good bye,"
she said. "War is one of the incidents
of civilization, as well as feature of
barbarity. I know that you will do
your duty, and that you will not for
get the little girl whom you once saw
sobbing under the hand of dying
man. When you return, I shall be
old enough to kiss you"
1 looked at her in astonishment.
Merriment sparkled in her eyes. "You
don't like to kiss children, it seems"
"Munette, you are strange. I once
said that I did not kiss you because
you looked like woman"
ooh, yes, that is true. I thought
that you did not want to kiss me be-
cause I was so small. There, now,
captain don't swell up like toad"
turned away. She called me when
I was about hundred yards away and
said: "When you pass the big gate,
look on the right hand post"
I did SO and found the words, 81
love you"
I did not receive but one letter from
Munette, and that might just as we'll
have been written by professor of
geology, for its four pages were de-
voted to description of lot of peb.
bles she had found in cave.
Ireturned home ragged and i'll. Mu-
nette was delighted to see me. She
was so peculiar, though, that I could
not tell whether or not she still loved
me. 1t seemed that she did not, for
whenever / attempted to remind her
of it, she changed the subject. Like
all true lovers, / felt that without her
my life would be a blank. I spoke to
my mother concerning my trouble.
"She is very strange girl, but I
always found her frank, except when
1 asked her if she loved you, and she
replied that the hawks had carried off
three of tho dominicker hens chick
ems"
One day. in passing the gate, I wrote
on the post the following:
"Will you marry me?"
Two days afterward L visited tho
place and found the word Eyes"
Without further communication, ex-
cept to appoint the time by "post,"
we were married. I did not find her
disposition to be peculiar, only in the
intensity of her love for me. "Why
did you treat me so?" one day asked
her.
"rhe dominicker has great deal
of trouble with her Chickens" she re-
piled. Shortly afterward, when she
thought that was not looking, she
threw back her head aud laughed.

WHERE'S MOTHER3

Bursting in from school or play
This is what the children say;
Trooping, crowdiDg, big and small
On the threshold, in the hall
Joining in the constant cry,
Ever as the days go by,
"Where's mother3"
From the weary bed Of pain
This same question comes agatnj
From the boy with sparkling eyes
Bearing homo his earliest prize;
From the bronzed and bearded son,
Perils past and honors won;
"Where's mother?"
Burden with lonely task.
One day we may vainly ask
For the comfort Of her face,
For the rest of her embrace;
Let us love her while we may,
Well for us that we can say
"Where's motherp"
Mother with untiring hands
At the post of duty stands,
Patient, seeking not her own,
Anxious for the good alone
OF the children as they cry,
Ever as the days go by,
"Where's mother?"

My mother welcomed Munette, and
when related the sad story of how
found her the sympathetic woman took
the child in her arms and kissed her.
A few days afterward, when l returned
home after short absence, she flashed
upon me in gay red dress. She was
more Of child than l had ever seen
her-more so than had thought it
possible for her to become. My mother
was delighted to sec her innocent
pranks, and I, for the first time, kissed
the child.
"You have kissed me at last" she
said. 'Is it because look better in
this dress?"
SIT is because you look more like
q child. Before you reminded me 80
much of q woman"
''Do not women like to be kissed 2"
I laughed and my mother, shaking
her head-I can see her gray hair now
said: "Ah, Ambrose, our young
girl has very old head"
We sent Munette to school. The
teacher, q man who had the reputa-
tion of being profound, met me one
day and said:
'Munette is the most remarkable
child ever saw. She has read so
many books and makes mo such wise
observations that am constantly sur
prised. To tell you the truth, 1 can
not advance her. Not that am not
intellectually able-but-er-bec
do not think at her age it would be
safe. Therefore 1 would advise you
to take her from school. / know the
effect that too much learning has on
youth. know how narrowly I es-
capped"
When spoke to Munette she said
"That school is a very dull place. 1t
is a constant hum of arithmetic. i
don't like to cipher, as the children
call it. Fractions make my head ache
and miscellaneous examples make me
sick. Let me study at home"
took her from school. She was q
devoted student, but was never SO alb.
sorbed that she was oblivious to the
little attentions which o woman of my
mothers age prizes so highly. Munette
grew rapidly and I was pleased to
SEQ that she was daily becoming more
graceful.

Last Monday afternoon, Commissioner

August Kotke, a farmer living four
miles west OF Bristol, lost his house and
barn by fire, Monday afternoon. The
cause OF the fire is supposed to have
been sparks from a straw-burner stove
catching in The shingles. The wind was
blowing very hard, and when August
discovered the fire, the roof was going
to fall in. He managed to get his horses
and 90 bushels of wheat out OF the barn,
one OF the horses being badly burned,
but everything else was consumed by the
flames, August says that only 10 min
utes elapsed from the time he became
aware OF the fire until everything was
past saving. This is very bad, indeed,
for August. Ii is to be hoped that the
rest OF those who use straw-burners will
be more careful in the future, as such
stoves are dangerous.-Bristolite
