once the Veil Has been Lifted.

If one desires to understand the life
of the best character, he must trace it
away from the great cities, crossing
monotonous plains until he comes to
some lonely spot among the everlasting
hills. 1t is there he will find the spring
from which life begins, and, standing
there, he will understand after what
fashion the man believes, hopes, works
and reasons. No doubt the stream will
be re-enforced from many quarters,
from literature, from art, from science,
but the stream will also keep ON its
way, cutting through many rocky OBJ
stacle, and to the very end it will carry
with it some Of the freshness and color
of its origin. Great lives have mostly
begun in some single moment, when
the veil was lifted, revealing the things
which are unseen and eternal Once the
veil has been lifted and the man has
seen, you can trust that in his future
life nothing can discourage that man
again, for nothing can overcome him
who has once seen God. Ian Maclaren.

MOST GIRLS LIKE TO BE KISSED

Ever since a few centuries after the
time when Adam and Eve galloped
around Eden in Andersen-fairy-tal
clothes, pretty girls have liked to be
kissed. There's no use beating around
the bush. They say they don't, but they
do. A girl may fly into wonderful rage
when she is kissed, cry "horrid' and
you nasty thing" and "I'H never speak
to you again and the like, but it's a
ten to one shot she'll peek at you through
her fingers and her twist-your- heart-up
