THE MILITARY PRIMER. - The
Seventh Reg -i-ment is the pret-
test reg-i- that ever was. 1t
is all shiny like a beautiful gold
pla- ted brass watch. 1t is com posed
of the bra-vest men in the n-try.
The wicked liar who said that it
consisted of old women is dead.
An old woman heard him and hit
him with an AK. The Seventh
Reg i-ment never ran away from
war, because it never was rude
enough to go where war was.
When there is no war the Seventh
Regiment defends the country.
The Seventh Reg-I-m mt is a
good one to belong to in time of
wicked wars and other dangers
because its mem bcrs get re-duc-
tions on their life IN sur-ance. They
are the best risks that ever hap
| pCned.
The Seventh Reg i-ment is
beautifully equipped. When it
goes TO sum mer camp each men,
Der is supplied with a nurse. A
wag-o full of pep per- mint candy
and cat-nip tea goes along, for the
little tum-m mics of the Seventh
Regiment might trouble it in the
dark, dark, night, when it is far
from mani ma and papa. Hur-rah

REWARD OF VIRTUE.-The follow
ing essay on the reward of viz
tue is the product of an eight-year-
old girl:
"Once there was poor young
man who was in love with rich
girl, whose mother had large can
dy store. The poor young man
wanted to marry the rich lady's
daughter, but was too poor to buy
furniture. One day bad man Of
fered him twenty-five dollars to
become a drunkard. The poor man
was dreadfully tempted, because
he wanted to be rich enough to
marry the candy lady's daughter.
But when he got to the saloon door
with the bad man, he said: Il will
not break my pledge even to be
rich. Get thee behind me, Satan
So he went home and on the way
found a pocket book with $780,
100000 in it. So he went home
and told the candy lady's daughter
and they were married. They had
a lovely wedding, and the next day
they had twins. Thus we see that
virtue is it's own reward."-Ex-

a VICTORIAN IDYL.-Queen Vic
toria's marriage was true love
match, as we all know, and one of
the most charming pictures of the
girl-Queen is presented by the ro-
mantle incident of her betrothal,
when the young Queen made her
offer of marriage to the handsome
young Prince Albert, son of the
Duke of Sake Coburg- Saalgeld. As
she was sovereign the Prince
could not with propriety make the
offer to her, and so the blushing
girl, now the woman rather than
the Queen, in the presence of the
youth who had already gained her
love, forgot the sovereign as she
timidly took this momentous step.
But even the most devoted married
couple will have their passing mis-
understandings, and the following
story is told concerning one of
their youthful disagreements.
Both were high spirited, strong
of character and tenacious of what
each considered the right in any
matter of discussion. At one time
their differences of opinion had led
to temporary GOODNESS of demean-
or toward each other, and the
Prince had retired TO his apart
ments and locked the door.
Victoria was the first to yield |
partially, and she soon knocked at
the door of her husbands library.
"Who is thcre?" asked the |
Prince, in answer to the knock.
THE Queen replied Victoria,
still rather haughtily, though some
what yielding.
"The Queen can not enter" re-
joined the Prince, proudly.
A short time afterward Victoria
again approached her husbands
apartment, and once again knocked |
for admittance.
"Who is there?" again the Prince
inquired.
"Your wife, replied Victoria, in
tender tones.
Instantly the door was flung wide
open and the Prince received her
in his outstretched arms. saying
with deepest affection: MY wife
is always Short Stories. |
