HAPPY MARRIAGES.
Value of the Spirit of Compromise In

Value OF the Spirit of Compromise In
Welded Life.
If marriage meant the wedding u
a saint and an angel there would be
no problems to solve, no perfections to
attain, no progress to make. This may
be why there are no marriages in
heaven.
On earth it is different. Husband
and wife are strongly human. No mat
ter how lovingly united or how sweet
their accord, they never have the same
temperaments, tendencies or tastes.
Their needs, are different, their man
her of looking at things is not identical
and in varying ways their Individual
ties assert themselves. AT any critical
moment If both express ut the same
time desire to defer to the others
taste the result is foreordained-hap
piness. This makes matrimony not
merely union, but unison and unity.
The spirit of compromise does not
mean Il continuous performance in the
way of self surrender and self sacri-
flee; it does not mean ceasing to be a
voice and becoming an echo; it does
not imply or Justify the loss of indi-
viduality. 1T means simply the i'll,
stinctive recognition of the best way
out of n difficulty, the quickest lacking
to avoid II collision, the kindly view of
tolerance in the presence of weakness
and errors of another, the courage to
meet an explanation half way. the gem
crosby to be first to apologize for Il dis
cord, the largeness of mind that does
not fear a sacrifice of dignity in sur
rendering i'll the interests of the high
est harmony of the two rather than the
personal vanity

Curios.

Mr.. Chow has n passion for curios,
but was not able to distinguish a gen

day a dealer came to him wishing to

Each one of us is bound to make the
little circle in which he lives better
and happier; each one of us is bound
to see that out of that small circle tile

flow influences which shall stimulate
the whole commonwealth and the
whole civilized world.-Dean Stanley.

Labor of Ants.

1t would perhaps be pushing meta
phors to an unwarranted extreme to
speak Of dignity of labor" In conncc-
ton with the occupations of ants. But
II by the phrase we mean that labor is
the honorable lot of all citizens and
that all labors of whatever sort are
upon the same level of responsibility
then we might venture to apply the
saying even to the labors of an ant
hill. For therein all are workers, from
the newly fledged callow to the vet
eran of second summer.-Harpers

Philip wrote curt letter to Sharpe

to hold no further communication with

1t was fine evening, one of those
rare nights when blase London aban-
dons herself for an hoursto the delights

by muslin dresses and flower covered

wore evening dress without an over

such an unusually high temperature
meant thunderstorms and showers it
would indeed be poor heart that did

threw open the door as Philip appear

while in the entrance buttoning his

loved light-fell on him and revealed
his firm face and splendidly proper
toned frame.
He cast critical eye on sleek

Gently been strengthened by new ma
terial and at the present time are
playing the most consistent ball of
any team in the league, with the pos

took three straight games from the
Jays at Portland and got out of town
with their lives-a remarkable event.
The Buckeyes were ready to take on
Richmond and they predict that the
Quakers will be beaten three straight.
Those Quakers of ours never per-
form according to done and it would
be no great surprise if they did things
to the Buckeyes. The double defeat
Sunday made the fans loose conf
dence in the Quakers but a good
showing by the team at Van Vert will
promptly restore this confidence. The
last time Decatur made it two out OF
three from us on our home grounds,
it will be remembered, the Quakers
went to Decatur and made it two out
of three from the Commodores up
