1t is possible to purchase at the stores
a linen thread intended for mending table
linen. It is said to be much better than
using the threads from the original pattern
since itA Is thinner and the weaving is not
so compact when finished.

An Incident.

We must applaud his bravery, even
when we have to smile behind our
hands at his se~lf-sufficient airs.
Two boys, on two sleds, were coast
ing the. other day. Their sleds collided
and one of the youngsters landed in the
gutter, striking his face, full force,
against the pavement. His companions
crowded round, making comments, all
talking at once. with opinions pretty
evenly divided as to who was to blame.
When his breath returned, the fallen
one slowly stood up, and never did /
see a more battered countenance.
Nose, forehead and cheeks presented
ore even, quickly swelling surface. with

"Gee! Did yer git hurt?" asked one
young hopeful, with concern.

rope of his Fast Flyer" and walked
away, disdaining the proffered hand
kerchief of a young who stood
nearby.
HE didn't cry one tear" remarked
a little. wondering girl, land he was
most killed."
Jaw. what do yer think boys are"
answered the boy who had asked IL the
victim was hurt; ''boys never cry when
they git hurt. Why. they can stand
anything" and as I stood at n side,
pretending to walt for a car, he
launched forth into an account Of a
series of Munchausen-like adventures
in which he had suffered all sorts of
tortures without a whimper. AS 1 left
1 heard him repeat that boys were
afraid of nothing n that they let
girls do all of the crying.

The Small BOY.

You can find more fun in the study
of a small boy than in all the humorous
books combined. His growing ideas
and his ways of expressing them fur
nish amusement almost without limit,
even while you sympathize.
Approach him In the right way and
he will go through fire and water to do
you a favor. Use the wrong tactics and
he will become as stubborn and un-
yielding as the proverbial mule. Never,
never talk down. to him, If you would
win his confidence, for he cannot stand
patronage. Treat him as an equal; let
him know you are not afraid of things,
and you will gain his admiration and
respect.

Cards are out announcing the
betrothal of Mr.. Snoden Wilson
McClung TO Miss Geraldine Wv
ian Hardman. and we understand
the happy event Of their marital
union will take place about the
first of June. Mr.. McClung is so
well and favorably known to ev-
eryone in the county that we can
not say any thing that will add
to the splendid lustre of his name
except that in all the range of
our acquaintance there is not one
who has brighter prospects, nor
one who so richly deserves the
unbounded success that he has
met, and is meeting with, and
the happiness that this union is
sure to bring to him. Miss
Hardman is the eldest daughter
of our townsman, Jerome Hard
man, and is a beautiful and ac-
complished young lady who has a
host Of friends, all of whom are
showering words of happiness
and congratulations upon the
popular young couple.
We extend happy congratula-

The average house wife will
soon begin to make life burden
to the inmates of the household.
She will tie a rag around her head
and wade into the dirt in a way
that will make your head swim.
She will tear up the carpets,
empty the cupboards, look sour
when you show up for dinner and
clam and bang things around to
a queens taste, and if you don't
like it take your meals up town.
Spring time is a very unhappy
event when house cleaning is on.
