MusicaI' Gate

Why? That question was answered for the
writer without having the trouble of openly
asking it, Passing along one such street the
following scrap of conversation was overheard.
Two ladies were at the gate; one, evidently a
visitor, asked
why do you let your gate squeak like
that?"
Because we like it," was the reply. Don't
you see that it let's us know that someone is
coming?"
Sometimes the gate is allowed to squeak it.
self through life for the reason that it is too
much trouble to keep the hinges fabricated;
the working parts are SO exposed to the ac-
tion of the elements and the atmosphere that
oilng is almost useless. In the majority of
cases, however, they are permitted to squeak
because that noise serves as an advance mess.
enger, a forerunaer.
We may shake our heads at this idea, but
it is human weakness We all want to
Los Angeles herald., 1906-10-21

know in advance what is likely to happen,
and when that advance intelligence precedes
the event by only few seconds, still we like
to have it.
Let everyone who feels inclined to doubt
this examine her sentiments honestly and
thoroughly, and we believe that she will admit
that it is an exact statement. If you were ex:.
the postman in the street, would you not feel
pleased if someone came to say that he had
letter for you? 1t would give you pleasure to
know this at the earliest moment, yet you
would not have to wait more than, two or
the missiye. Candidly speaking, if you could
get that information only two. minutes in ad-
vance, would you not like to have it?
We know the case Of wife, who, once a
turn from the office. The time of his return
was always uncertain on that special night,
and she made point Of having ready for

work, that waiting, and the creaking of the
gate was welcome sound.
One night the husband remarked that he
must oil that gate" and was surprised when
his wife objected.

explained.
"Why, / am turning the key in the door
five seconds after the gate makes that noise,
so what good is it?" he inquired.
'It is five seconds less to wait before know
ing that you are coming" she replied with a
smile.

1T was my birthday last Monday. / was
ten years old hadn't thought much about
it; but coming home that day began to feel
ill-used. You see, last year | had a party;
all the boys and girls like best, with lots OF
goodies and fiddle. But this year not a
thing was done.
Mother was busy rigging vrg.e-that's
my sister-to go and spend the HOLIDAYS with
her friend Maud, in the city; and there she
and Virgie would sit and stitch, stitch, day
after day.
$50 threw myself back on the sofa, with
my hands in my pockets, and my lips stuck
out to pout little
"And when mother said, What is the mat
ter, my son| / asked her if she remembered
what day of the month it was, and told her
that she didn't seem to realize the Importance
of the occasion.
"And. she said she did. but couldn't afford
to celebrate the event more than once in two
years.
"And then Vrge put in, and said they
was matter for congratulaton Or not-my
birthday; and you know what she meant by
that. Virgie is seventeen, and thinks she's
smart; but she will do anything for fellow,
all the same.
"Then mother told Virgie she might try on
another word-they had so much to say about
the trimming, and the draping, and the set
ting of it.
$50 just got up and thought I'd take nv
new skates and celebrate all by myself. And
as | came out mother called after me that
there was a peach turnover for me on the
dresser, just baked.
ut was nice turnover, and felt some
better; but l didn't ask any leave to go to

There was a boat race on Timer

Mooney went out in a fiat bottomed
boat to watch it. His boat was caught
in a squall and overturned. Mooney
was caught under the sail and could
not get out. 1t was twenty-three min
