times. "And all on account of that thick
headed Jack Gresham. Well, I'm glad
/ found him out, anyway. If we had
been together all the time, there is nc
knowing what might have happened, and
just think of having to go through life
with such stupid But, oh, DEAR l wish
we hadn't quarreled just now or that
there were some other young men in town
that were any fun. But all the other
young men are silly, and at the worst
he is only stupid. Dear me, but I am
lonesome"
Jacks meditations for the two weeks
might be condensed into paragraph
about as follows:
'There is no getting around it, | was
falling in love with her, but It is a good
thing found her out when did. Whew,
what a spitfire she is! And then think
of having to live with woman who
thinks she knows more than you do!
"But, oh, ye lords of ladies intellectual,
Inform US truly, have they not henpecked you all
Guess I'll go fishing today. No, I'll
be hanged if l will! I'll go botanizing.
But darn botanizing anyway"
By the Sd of July they were both lone
y ana very mIseraUIe, ana ROXY nau not
yet decided on her unique celebration.
She had thought of exasperating Jack
by buying lot Of set pieces, each put
ting the number 20 in some different
way, and getting her little brother to set
them up in some conspicuous place where
Jack could not help seeing them from his
home. But still that would not be SO
very much fun after all. Jack, on the
other hand, discovered during the two
weeks of the quarrel that not only had
he been in danger Of falling in love with
Polly, but that he was in love with her,
and he argued himself into the conviction
that if they could only get into the new
century safely they would have hun
dred years ahead of them before there
would be any chance Of anything arising
so exasperating as this end of the cen
tury dispute. After he had arrived at
this conclusion an idea came to him that
was remarkably bright, even Polly after
ward admitted, for such stupid fellow.
On the forenoon of the Fourth Of July
Jack took an American flag in one hand
and a flag Of truce in the other and
marched gravely up to the Davis cottage
Polly smiled in spite of herself and grant
ed the armistce.
'Have you decided yet on the unusual
teieDTdtoH tlldI you were thinking OF Tor
the last Fourth of July of the century,"
For the first of the new century," said
Polly.
"Never mind that" said Jack. IL don't
care when the new century begins. All
/ know is that | will not be happy in it
unless you agree to begin it with me.
Why not celebrate this Fourth by get
ting engagedf And we can celebrate the
next by getting married, and then Wen
be sure of celebrating the right day."
Polly was so taken by surprise that
she didn't even say, This is so sudden"'
Instead she disappeared quickly into the
grape arbor, while Jack followed. When
they emerged again, they had agreed
thoroughly that they didn't care when
any old century began, and two Fourth
Of July celebrations had been arranged
for instead of one.

The Girl In the Khaki Dress,

There she goes in the shopping square
The men look back, the women stare,
The critics remarks passing aloud
As she wends her way through the gaping crowd,
But she hears them not, and she cares much less;
She's one of the first in khaki dress.
She passes the cop the shopping beat
He smiles and points out into the street.
'The color's the same" he says, with a grin
"The same the mud she's walking in,''
But she hears them not, and she cares much less;
She's one of the first in khaki dress.
The newsboy grins "Get to her nibsl

But she hears them not. and she cares much less;

OUR WOMEN
IN THE
REVOLUTION.
D*e*0*e*o*0*0*0#W*0*@*e*0xW

Although the women Of civilized ma
tiOns are treated as noncombatants and
are exempt from military duty, heroines
without number appear on the roll of
honor, especially in popular uprisings for
civil liberty.
The world knows no finer example Of
heroism than that displayed by the Boer
women during the present strife between
the South African Dutch and the British
These women are not nurses and cooks
only, but are fighters as well and as
brave as their brothers and husbands.
Chief among the ancient women who
fought for the freedom of their people
was Queen Boadicea, wife of Prasuta-
gus. After the death of her husband, in
censed by the outrages of the procurator
Catus, she took up arms against the Ro-
man colonists and their allies. Too
proud to grace the promised holiday, she
took poison after her capture. TO the

"Well, if you can't it is because you
don't know any better" said Polly hotly
as she jumped out of the hammock.
'Well," said Jack, with an air of lofty
decision, 81 may not know much about

ladies' colleges, but l know more about

Having thus reduced their vocabularies
to inarticulate sounds, they separated in
high dudgeon, fully resolved that never
again would they speak or recognize one
another on the street. During the two
weeks preceding the Fourth of July they
both spent most of their time in careful
ly avoiding each other and for that very
reason met more frequently, because one
was afraid of meeting the other in their
old favorite haunts and for that reason
kept away from them.

LAUGHING GAS.


Mary and Her Landlord.
Mary opened a little shop
To help her OH lifes way,
And honest toll found its reward,
And it began to pay.
"How's bizT' the landlord often asked,
And Mary was imprudent;
OF course she never guessed he was
An economic student.
But Mary's landlords eagle eye
Was watching how things went,
And when the first Of May came round
He doubled Mary's rent.
The imposition staggered her,
But what could Mary dor
Subsistence bare is the tenants share,
All above is the landlords due.
80 Mary kept on as before,
Improving as time went,
But step by step, with increased trade,
The landlord raised the rent.
And thus the merry game went on
Till Mary's life was spent;
As fast as God could prosper her
The landlord raised the rent.

THE AMERICAN FLAG
When Freedom from her mountain height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe Of night,
And set the stars of glory there;
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric of the skies.
And striped its pure, celestial white
With streakings OF the morning light;
Then from his mansion in the sun
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave unto his mighty hand
The symbol OF her chosen land
Majestic monarch Of the cloud!
Who rears aloft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest-trumpings loud
And see the lightning lances driven,
When strive the warriors of the storm,
And roll the thunder-drum of heaven
Child OF the SUM- to thee 'tis given
To guard the banner Of the free,
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battlestroke,
And bid its blendings shine afar
Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
The harbingers of victoryl Z
