AS THE SUN WENT DOWN.

Two soldiers lay on the battlefield
At night when the sun went down.
one held a lock of thin grey hahn
And one Il lock Of brown.
one thought of his sweetheart back at
home,
Happy and young and gay.
And one of his mother left alone,
Feeble and old and gray.
Each i'm the thought that a woman cared,
Murmured a prayer TO God.
Lifting his gaze TO the blue above,
There on the battle sod.
Each in he JOY of a womans love,
Smiled through the pain Of death
Murmured the sound of a woIGans name,
Though with his parting breath.
Pale Crew the dying lips OF each,
Then. as the sun went down
one kissed a lock Of thing gray hair
And one kissed a lock of brown.

shelf when the closet door is opened,
and to be folded up in front of a couple

door can be taken off, and half door
be put on and hinged as is the one in the

closed with a curtain, sliding upon a

be adopted for the upper half OF closet

THINGS TO AVOID.
Do Not Discuss Irritating Subjects at
the Dinner Table.

Why is it that in most households the
dinner table becomes dumping ground
for the wholesale plants of it's mem
bers? Probably because this is the only
meal of the day when the entire family
meet together, each one feels it duty
to air a few personal grievances in
order to seek consolation from the
others.
Out of Difference to digestion, if for
no other reason, dinner table converse
ton should be of the spiciest, but this
fact is lost sight of in the general de-
sire for everybody, from papa down tc
the youngsters, to serve up only those
topics which have marred, rather than
made the days happiness.
Hardly has the man Of the house fin
ished his carving duties befare lie falls
into an animated financial discussion
with his wife. Household expenses are
rehashed, bills grumbled over and the
cost of living recalculatcd with tedious
regularity.
Mother, in her turn, eagerly pours
into any listening ear her domestic
woes. The days errors below stairs are
infinitely recorded. She signs over
Bridget's butter waste, declares that the
butchers indifference to her order is
becoming :ntolerable, and so On.
Then the small boy (poor little tar.
get for family flaw picking) comes in
for his share of criticism. His failures
at school are relentlessly raked up and
all sorts of punishments threatened un.
less there is speedy reform.
If there are guests present this talk
of the inner circle is, for courtesy's sake
given less personal flavor, but only
then. Good cheer and plenty of it" is
not the motto of the average family din.
