she Repudiated the Charge.

At the mems service in Yorkshire parish the vicar tried to convey the les son that the truest heroes and heroines are those who do noble deeds in the secret corner of the home, where none can see or applaud.
 "Few of you seem to think" he con cluded, ''that your wives staying at home uncomplainingly to mind the chill dren and prepare the meals are heroines, and yet their touching devo- tion to duty proves them to be SO"
 It certainly hadn't struck one old farmer in this way before, and as soon as he got home he promptly told his wife that the vicar had called her a heroine.
 Whatever does that mean?" asked the good lady.
 ''Oh, it means woman who stays in t house instead of goin' art to show hersen." explained the farmer vaguely.
 "Then I'm not a heroine, an I'll thang t vicar to mind what he's say in'," snapped the wife. Il go to his church as much as t other women do, an he must be blind if he can't see me. Why, I'd five different colors in t bonnet I wore last Sunday!'-London Answers.
