Saturday Night Reveries

l
Saturday night seems to
have the happy faculty of
making people human; set
their hearts to beating softly
as they used to do before the
world turned them into wa r
drums and Jared them to
pieces with tattoos. On Sat
urday night the ledger closes
with a clash, the iron doored
vault comes to with a bang,
click goes the key in the lock.
It is Saturday night and the
business man breathes free
again. Homeward, no! The
door that has been ajar all
all the week gently closes be-
him, the world is all shut out
Shut out? Shut in, rather
At home are his treasures af-
ter all, and not in the vault
and not III the book--save the
record in the old family Bible
and not in the bank. May
be you are a bachelor frosty
and forty. Then, poor fellow
Saturday night is nothing to
you, just as you are nothing
to anybody. Get a wife,
blue-eyed or black-eyed, but
above all, true-eyed. Get a
little home-no matter how
little sofa, just to hold two
or two and a half, in it, on a
Saturday night, and then
read this paragraph by the
light in your Wife's eyes, and
thank god and take courage.

The Beautiful Lesson.

If you love, love more. If
you hate, hate less. Life is
too short to spend in hating
any one. Why war against a
mortal that is going the same
road with us? Why not ex-
pand the flower of life and
happiness by learning to love
by teaching those who are
|near~and dear the beautiful
lesson? Your hands may be
hard, but your heart need not
be. Your form may be bent,
or ugly, but do you not know
that the most beautiful flow
ers grow in the most rugged.
unsheltered places? The
palace for care, the cottage
for love. Not that there is
no love in a mansion. but
somehow if we are not very
careful, business will crowd
all there is of beauty out Of
the heart. This is why God
has given the Sabbath and
Saturday nights, that we
may leave business and have
a little heart cleaning.

The Gyps;ea.

Gypsies first appeared in Europe
about 600 years ago. They were
supposed to have come from Egypt
and were called Egyptians, from
which fact comes their name. Now
it has been proved conclusively from
their peculiar language that they
actually came from northern India.
They first appeared in Turkey and
Greece, later finding their way into
the Balkan states and Hungary.
From these latter countries they
spread throughout Europe. Small
and dark, nomadic in their habits
and MANY of them "pettily theftu-
Gus" to quote Robert Louis Steven
son, they have never amalgamated
with the people among whom they
dwelt. However, they are credited
with many good qualities by persons
who have studied them sympathetic
ally.-London News.

last, afternoon and evening, and the

a good one in every particular, did
great business. Th- show train of thir.
teen cars arrived IN Milford on Sunday
morning, and the best Of order was
maintained by the followers and en-
ployes. The elephants were given a
bath in Silver Lake and attracted the
attention Of a number of people. On

The County Fair a Success.

The County Fair, held in Armory
Hall last Friday night, was one OF the
local attractions which hit the popular
fancy, and the public turned up at the
performance ready to be entertained.
The short time taken to drill the
young ladies and gentlemen for their
parts, was surprising, and the lady
who had the matter in charge person.
ally informed us, that it was surpris.
ing to her, to see the ease with which
the characters were assumed. 1t was
one Of the many popular farces which
depict local scenes with almost IifeIfke
exactness; which is always popular
with the people. The receipts were
about $50, but the expenses had to be
paid out Of that sum but it netted a
snug little sum for the Kings Daugh.
