Mr.. Corelle was sitting beside the
stove when his wife returned from the
village. He looked up in amazement
as she entered the room with large
bundle in her arms.
What's that?" he asked.
ITS a bonnet" she replied, nerv-
ously. I've brought it home to see
how you like it,"
He continued to stare at her.
Mines pretty old, you know.

I've had it,"
well, / guess it'll have to go an
other year." he muttered, doggedly.
"Buyin' that reaper took all the spare
money I've got; we'll be lucky if we
bout bonnets. What's the matter
with the old one?"
1T looks so shabby I'm ashamed to
wear it." she said, sadly. There
amt a woman in around but what's
got better one. / wouldn't mind it,
though, if | thought you couldn't afford
to buy one. Don't you think you can
spare the money-it amt only two
dollars?"
1.-TWO dollars is mighty lot when
anybody's as short as l am. 'Tain't
no use to talk about it; you'll have to
send it back"
Seems as though I'd worked hard
enough to deserve a new one fall

Mrs. Corelle was silent. She
glanced about her at the cold. bare
walls, and fell to thinking of other
days. Thirty years had passed since
Ophlr Corelle had brought his bride
to that farmhouse. 1t was far from
new then, and Mr.. Corelle had never
wasted any money on paint or wall
paper. The furniture, also, was worn
and battered beyond respectabilitiy.
Ihe master of the house gave no
thuoght to such things; the desire of
his heart was to swell the competence
which had been steadily accumulating
month by month.
His wife had been a most industri.
Gus helper. Each day found her in
her accustomed place-never had she
known what it was to have a vacation
Her form had become bent and twist
ed; her face was prematurely drawn
and wrinkled. In return for all this
drudgery and sacrifice she received
what she wanted to eat and a roof to
cover her head
Perhaps she never had seen the in.

brooding over his refusal, there was

only to cast them aside as lmpraoti.

The clear, laughing eyes looking back in

And the warm. chubby fingers my palms

As when we raced over pink pastures OF

And mocled the quas whirr and the

Have the breezes of time blown their

Forever adrift down the years that have

Am l never to sec them romp back to

Where over the meadow in sunshine and

PAY TRIBUTE TO
> MARTYRED KING
GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS HoNoRED
BY SWEDES
Los Angeles Citizens Adore Memory
of the Man Who Stood for Free
dom-ExceIIen Program
Is Rendered

"Gustavus Adolphus was the greatest
king on earth and had it not been for
his influence Professionalism would not
now be in existence, and Catholicism
would have held greater sway than
it does today" said Rev. Herbert j.
Weaver in his address last evening at
the Gustavus Adolphus festival in
Blanchard hall.
The festival was opened with prelim-
mary remarks by G. Eckdahl, the
chairman, who expressed regrets that
the seating capacity of the hall was
inadequate for the large gathering
seeking admission. The program was
enlivened by the participants, who
wore the national costumes so dear to
the hearts of all from Sweden.
b. r. Baumgardt delivered an ad-
dress and recitation eulogizing the king
as a warrior and Christian who had
faith in his God and a great lover Of
liberty, and who was trusted by his
people.
Rev. e. Nelander, A. NJ, Ph.D., en-
phasized the fact that if it had not
been for the beloved king whose fes-
tival was celebrated there would not
only have been no Professionalism, but
no Declaration of Independence, and
slavery would have reigned through
out the world. The speaker linked the
lives of Abraham Lincoln and Gusta-
vus Adolphus, both having been mar
tyrs to their countries. The speaker
closed by saying;
Honor Memory of King
king Gustavus Adolphus, we adore
thy memory in Sweden and in the
United States. Thy heritage will de-
scend to us all, enshrining thy love in
our hearts"
