And she stood up, looking uncommonly
tall:
You are going to speak Of the hectic
And say you're sorry the summers dead.
And no other summer was like it, you
know,
And I can imagine what made it so.
Now. aren't you, honestly?" YES" I said
Il know what you're going to say" she
said:
You are going TO ask if l forget
That day in June when the woods were
And you carried me"-here she dropped
her head
"Over the creek. you are going to say,
Do 1 remember that horrid day.
Now, aren't you, honestly?" Yes" said.
Il know what you're going to say" she
you are going to say that since that
time
You have rather tended to run 10 rhyme,
And"-her glance fell and her cheek grew
red
and I have noticed your tone was
queer.
why, everybody has seen it here!
Now, aren't you, honestly?" Yes said.
Il know what you're going to say" I
said:
You're going to say you've been much
annoyed
And I'm rather short of tact-you will
say devoid

me Ted,
And 1 bear abuse ME a dear old lamb,
And youll have me anyway, Just as I
am.

Worry wears out more people than work
does. and fretting causes more unhappiness
in families than either sickness or pow
erty, writes Mrs. Moses p. Handy in the
October Woman's Home Companion. In
deed the secret of happiness may almost
be said to be making the best of every
thing and good humor under all circum-
stances the most useful virtue which man,
and more especially woman, can possess.
Did you never try to run your sewing
machine without oil? Don't you know
how the surfaces grind upon each other,
and how hard the work Is? Wen, just
as one hour of that scraping viii injure
the machinery more than whole's days
use would If properly oiled, just SO one
DAVIS worry will dig more wrinkles in
your face and sprinkle more gray in your
hair than will months of patient, trust
ing labor.
One branch of the gentle art of dis

portant branch for women who have chill
dren and servants under their care, says
the Baltimore Herald.
1t is often a duty to point out faults and
suggest a remedy, and it is a most diff

their words contain rebuke; which is sad
mistake because at no time are such gen
tie words needed as when someone must
be set right.
Gentle seedlings are far more efficacious
than loud shouts. One rarely finds per-
son who will not listen 10 reasoning If 1t
is nut forward at suitable time.
OF course, it is useless to reason with a
child or a grown up who is out OF temper;
but IL is also useless to try and shout him
down. When noise and force are called
into play to aid an argument, 1t is safe to
conclude that the cause is weak, or 1t
would not need such defense.
Oh. it is worth diiigent study and much
application, this gentle art Of disagreelng.
'sYou must give me something 10 help me,
doctor you really must" said the woman
patient, according to the New York Sun
'sWhy. I'm a total wreck. / can't sit still

the leather chair as she spoke, and looked
