wonders at weddings.

Wonder if it is going to be fine

Wonder if I can manage to put in
one more quiet smoke after breakfast.
Wonder if the best man will miss
his train, get married to the bride or
mixed up with the bridesmaids, offer
me cigarette instead of the ring at
the critical moment, put my hat in the
pulpit or some other inappropriate
place, or what he will be up to.

a Deer-Hunt in Town.

An exciting scene took place in
Thorpe, Wis, recently. A. o. Rhea
noticed about noon a splendid large
deer in his pasture, near the high
school. He went to his house, pro-
cured his gun, and sent charge of
shot into the buck. The deer jumped
the fence and ran into the main street.
II had been so long since a deer has
been seen roaming about the town that
the people were so taken by surprise
that they forgot all about guns and
stood gazing at the splendid animal as
it ran and turned north at the Forest
Queen house corner, crossed the rail
road track into a mill-yard, where
Charles Case happened to be prNctis-
ing at a mark with a rife. At the
third shot Mr.. Case succeeded in hit

has a cat that has mania for hunting
This fact was not known until few
days ago, when the doctors son, How
ard, went out upon hunting expedi-
ton in the woods near their farm
house.
When he started in the morning the
cat followed, and try as ho might he
could not send it back. Howard had
not proceeded far in the woods before
the cat lushed" a woodcock. The
hunter said it was beautiful point, "
more graceful than that made by the
most accomplished bird dog. Several
other birds were flushed" by the
feline pointer, and Howard returned
with two woodcock and a partridge. -

Contrary to the popular opinion
one would make money by backing
labor all the year around, maintains
the New York Press. The following
figures, furnished by the Board Of
Trade of England, give proof of this.
They relate to the year ending August
81, and may, therefore, be trusted to
show the actual and present relations
Of the two great parties. During the
twelve months total of $50 disputes
were settled. In S58 the men carried
che day; in 265 the masters were vic
torious, and in 1914 the men were par
TALLY successful, which means that
some sort of compromise was arranged,
while thirty-three disputes are classed
as indefinite. OF the total OF 82l 800
men whose wages were increased or
diminished, only 55, 200 had embarked
on actual strikes, while in the case of
766, 500 the change arose from the
automatic working of sliding scales,
together with negotiation, the action
of Cancellation boards and the voluu-
tary concession of employers. Put
ting it in the form of percentage, VIC

The Boston Herald observes: "The
law that has been passed in Switzer-
land rendering compulsory insurance
against illness on the part of all the
citizens of the republic who cannot
show that they have reserved meaps
of support in case of physical or men
tai disability is only symptom of the
tendency all over the world toward
securing social well-being by means Of
legal enactments. As the State is
called upon in the last resort to care
for those who are both physically and
financially incapable of supporting
themselves, the State has the right TO
demand that those who may at any
time become burdens upon the public
shall in the days of their strength,
health, and activity supply themselves
with the means of meeting the ills of
life. 1t is presumable that the State
itself might undertake to carry ON an
insurance business of this kind and
exact its premiums in the form of
tax. 1t could doubtless do the busi-
ness on a large scale at a much lower
cost than if the same service was per
formed by one or more corporations.
Another form of insurance of the social
kind is that provided for in New Zea-
land, this coming out of the annual
taxes. Under the New Zealand sys-
TEN every one over sixty-hve years of
age who has lived twenty years in the
country is entitled to draw pension.
The maximum amount is fixed at so, 80
a week, and the minimum amount at
Sl.25. This is not large sum, but
ON an average payment of, say, 500 a
year, there are a great many poor men
and poor women of over sixty-hve
years of age who would find life much
easier as the result OF this official con-
tributiOn.

DIR. Edward Everett Hale is having
q rather unpleasant time of it these
days owing to ridiculous report sent
out from Boston to the effect that he
s5vocated the study of the Indian
language in the schools. The doctor
writes that all he asked of the public
school was that New England boys
should "know the meaning of the
words Massachusetts,, Connecticut,
Shawmut, Winnisimet and other words
which come into their local life as one
ought to know why the Tuileries were
80 called if he lived in Paris. The
doctor also denies that he repeated the
Lords. prayer in Indian. He used
the two first words Of the prayer to il
tustrate the formation of Indian words,
and adds: "In fact, the two first
words of it are all that / know, ex-
cept the amen at the end" BY the
time DIR. Hale's little talk had filtered
through several sources until it
reached the newspapers it had become
a lecture in which the most extraordi-
nary position was taken, which sur
prised his admirers everywhere.

THE LoVE.BRlDcE.

Two little feet upon the stairs.
Two little arms were open wide,
Two little hands would bar the way
Trying to reach from side TO side
with smiling glances, two brown eyes
Look up to mine in the softened light
The sweet child voice in answer tells
Why l must own her playful right.
"Dls is a love-bridge, papa says.
Dis Is the gate, my arms so wi1o,
Div me kiss as you 60 through,
I'll div It back on the other side"
I bend to give my kiss and think

Willing 30 open wide for me.
When the treasures swept from my sight,
When tossed and turned by wind and tide
Have passed tho gate, and he will give
Them back TO me the other side.
