Silhouettes.
We would like to call the atten
ton of those in authority to Oscar
Midkiff's military air. 1t need,

Is this hot enough for your

Once upon time a young man
without family or wealth. challeng-
ed Fate, and a wreath inscribed
Success" was the prize to be award
ed. So the young man barred his
head to the fierce heat Of summer.
and faced the singing blasts and
sleet of winter; wore mean clothes
and labored at rough labor. denying
himself the sweet vanities and gra-
cious pleasures of life in order that
he might win the gemmed wreath
Success" and place it at the feet of
her whose beauty was his delight,
whose goodness was his inspiration.
and whose voice had babe him &C.
cept Fate's challenge and win for
her the wreath. When at last he
snatched the jeweled prize with
eager hands, he sought for her with
eyes blinded by the scintillations of
light, only to find she had married a
freckled face young man with a
limp. who was doing time on book
keepers stool in an axle-grease fac
tory.
In this town live two brothers.
One of them is comparatively rich.
and the other is incomparably poor.
They have an afflicted sister. who
is penniless, and whose poor brother
and family have cared for her for
years. She is becoming so helpless
that there is constant need of an
in her room. The well-to-
do brother refused to receive her in
his home because his wife was
feeble" and refused to pay the poor
brother $1,000 year to help keep
his afflicted sister out of the aims
house. And yet the well-to-do
brother is church worker; a re-
spected member of society, and may
really believe himself to be a man.
which of course he is not, lacking
every instinct Of manhood, as he
does.
II this afflicted sister is permitted
to go to the almshouse, we're going
to tell who she is. and who her
brothers are. We are not muck
but if we were, we wouldn't
like to be-foul our rake on a fellow
ike this one.
No more enjoyable event has been |
pulled off this season, than the stag
supper given by K. Holbrook at his
farm last Saturday evening, and it
Vas a stag affair in every respect.
Civilized man may not be able to
