Before the minds of all CT us there
will rise at times the vision of some
place where depressing, smothering
dullness has descended about us like
heavy blanket, and a wet one at
that. Seldom have the deadly dull
places been solitary ones. for solitude
itself is not necessarily dull; it takes
the nearness of humanity to create
that condition in its perfection.

Heart to Heart Talk.

The woman next to the end man
was married, too, but not to him, or
she would have stirred against him by
a seeming accident and walked him
up when he snored loudest She was
telling her next neighbor, whom she
had never met before, that she was
married at II, but if she had it to do
over again she would wait until she
was % and then not marry the man
she did. The neighbor had also mar.
ried young, but frankly said she had
accepted her first offer for fear it
would also be her last, but would have
done just as well to have taken the
chances. Then the sitting room got
in its work and the talk subsidized.
Since the people had all arrived
promptly at the office hour it was nc
use to remove wraps for the few mo-
ments of their stay, and, Furthermore
the attendant had said the doctor
would see them at once. The men all
wore heavy overcoats and some OF
them had nice, warm, fiannel-lined arc
tics, buckled snugly about their feet
and all wore gloves and few had cozy
plush ear muffs. The women had heavy
wraps and fur collars and muffs, and
mittens over their gloves, and some
had berege wells over their faces.
Time passed and in the strangline
heat the thermometer frothed at the
mouth, and felt myself slowly sue

dreaded Sunday malady, church IA

their wraps, and one man took off his
ear muffs and held one in each hand

ment his ears began to CONCEAL. One
woman took off short, sleek fur boa
that under released pressure straight
ened out and squirmed back and forth
like a live fish, Another woman also
removed her furs, and my eyes were
glued upon the strange thing she tool
off. Just what animal she had beer

the table were several wilted June

STATE BOARD OF PUBLIC
CHARITIES.

The reports of this board which will
be sent you later in the session, show
that the state is now paying nearly
double the amount for the care and the
education of the afflicted and defective
classes which it paid ten years ago.
The numbers cared for have likewise
doubled. This largely increased ex-
penditure is a heavy drain upon the re-
sources of the state in n way, but
in another it more than pays for itself
in freeing the individuals who would
otherwise be charged with the burden
of supporting and educating these un-
fortunate people. All parties are
pledged to maintain and enlarge the
charitable work which the state has
undertaken 10 do. This requires much
money, but If the people mean what
they say in their political platforms,
the money will be cheerfully paid by
them. The board of public charities IN
