VINO knew me when my frocks were

1t was not to hear the ring of the car
bell, nor the pounding Of the big wagons
carrying trunks.
The fair has been impressed on my mind
because L Won-no, that is all Wrong-I
gained by subscription a cake that had
a ring in it, 1t took three boys to carry
the cake home and it took five women
all the next day to crumb up the cake
to find the ring in It., and the result
was-disappointment Either no ring had
ever been put in or else somebody was
ahead of me in looking for it, l don't
ike to think the country people have
lost the bloom of their innocence. but
where is that ring? Experience, ex-
perience that resulted in a thrilling pain,
proves that lemonade at a country fair
is no better than at a city circus So
many things have to be learned by ex-
perience, and after the lemonade episode
l appreciated the value of Jamaica gin
ger. After everything had been sold at
the fair we had very good time. We
danced the Virginia reel and told the
preacher 1t was a new kind of a game.
l am sure he wasn't fooled a little bit.
for he balanced to his partner as if he
mad done 1t before, and he danced up
and down the circle with crossed hands
in a way that suggested that when he
was at college, he probably joyed in some
such innocent amusement. A country par
son is to be pitied. He is expected to
be more than saint and less than a man.

everybody elSses chdldYet in the way
they should go and then find time enough
to make young saints of his own His

gay, doesn't annoy the congregation by
suggesting how mean they are in putting
out money for the minister and the Lord

goodness graciousi I don't believe there
is minister in the country or the city
who would be willing to marry Bah.
