against his rough coat. Then the hood
lifted again, and the eyes flashed up to
his.
But why can't you be nice and-antl
-contented, the way yOu-used to-"
Because I never was cOntented. and
I won't be NICE" he replied, cheerfully.
"Now, do you propose to be sea-
siblo?"
LET us go where we can see the
lake." said Mrs Prince.
Placing her on the "off-side' from
the wind, he led her down the bridge
and through the trees till they stood
at an opening where the lake could be
seen beneath the swaying branches,
sending it's spray high in the air, as the
waves Numbered on the beach.
Leaning back against him, she stared
a long time out at the angry, far
stretching waters. And over her head,
he, too, looked with steady eyes at the
war Of wind and waves Soon she
turned her head and looked up at him
over her shoulder, her eyes shining
through the storm-tossed hair.
did you bring the book of verses?'
she asked
Yes" he answered.
"And what do they say"
Some stOrm-driven seagulIs dashed
by, close 20 their faces, and huge
branch Of a tree creaked and snapped
and crashed down to the ground, and
the wind shrieked eXultingly while
they bowed for a moment to resist it's
force. Then it left them, and he
looked down into her face.
"'Not oak and vine are we, but lovers
twain
Who face the world together, side by
side,
And so shall bide until our latest
breath;
In storm or shine, in burning sun or rain
Through life's long ways in comradeship
allied,
Not to be parted by the hands of
death 4"
His lips were close to her ear, and
she heard the words under the bowling
of the storm. And soon the soft, wind
cold cheek leaned against his.
''Well?" he asked.
The hood slipped back as she raised
her face to his, and all the soft dark
hair was given to the wild wind.
1T is paradise now, DEAR" she
whispered.

A little hope to cheer us, although it

A little fire for comfort when winter
nights are chill;
A little dream, God-given, to bless us on

A little welcome waiting us at ending of
the day;
A little purpose shining through every
deed we do;
A little bunch of roses to overspread the

A little peace surprising to which the

A little hope, a little love, little toll and

Munich's Reputation in Danger.

Munich's reputation for beer drinking
is in danger. The city is still far ahead
of any other in the quantity consumed,
but in 1901 it drank fteen litres per
head less than 1900, only 341 litres per
man-that is to say less than a litre
day. This is ascribed in part to the
falling off in the number of strangers
who visit the Athens on the Isar.

Telephone Trouble.

There has been excitement in
telephone circles this week. The
Tazewell Telephone Exchange
notified its patrons that an in
Crease of fifty per cent on former
rates would be made, to go into
effect on January goth. About
thirty of the patrons ordered their
phones removed, and the work o.
removing them began, and a
small number have been taken
out up to this date. A number of
those who ordered out their
phones, after reflection and con-
sultation, decided to hold them
longer, and await developments.
The company claims that they
are not able TO make even a small
per cent on their investment at
the former price of SI2 per year,
after spending a large sum in
extending their wires to Pocahon-
tas, and otherwise improving the
service, and hence the increase in
rates.
Immediately upon the notice of
the increase in rates and with
drawal of phones, the organiza-
ton of another company was
projected, and quite a number of
shares of stock have been sold.

Feeding Roots.
For cattle and sheep it is better TO
feed turnips In early winter and save
mangels until later, as the latter are
better keepers and are supposed by
many to improve in feeding value as
the season advances, says a correspond
ent OF American Agriculturist. But for
cows giving milk 1t is we'll to rely on
the mangeis all the time, as turnips are
apt TO flavor the milk. However, some
claim that feeding Immediately after
the milking hour prevents any distaste-
ful results. Sixty to ninety ponds OF
turnips can be probably fed each day
to a large. fattening bullock. The ma
jority OF farmers feed all roots whole
to mature cattle, but pulp them for
calves and yearlings and frequently
mix the ground roots with chan or cut
hay.
