A CHANGE OF RAINTENT.
Jim Hall and Charlie Forthyse met
in the big wood back OF Charles
house Neither of the boys looked
happy Jim's misery came from a
great lack and Charles from too
great a plenty.
Where are you going ?" Charlie
asked Jim.

Why don't you go?"

you bid and Wen go together" said
Jim, now gr.nning and happy.
And so out of a well-stocked ward
robe the two boys went to the Fisher
house. and somehow there never
seemed to be a party just like that
one. Everyone seemed to be so happy
and to have such a really good time
They played games Charlie had never
played. and the homemade cakes and
cream were different taste for him.
And when. at the end of their pleas
ure. Mrs. Fisher handed them each a
box filled with chocolate squares and
kissed each boy and girl goodbye,
Charlie and Jim were among the hap
piest.
II never did have such good
time" said Jim, most truthfully.
And If 1t hadn't been for you I
never would have had It."
You mean II 1t hadn't been for you
I'd never got there" said Charlie
And he always thought 1t was such
strange thing that whenever he wore
the suit he called the "Jim Hall suit"
he was always In for happy time
But you and / know 1t was not
strange; for the more we try to give
happiness away the closer she cuddles
to us.

The reading which young people in

BILE for this rose colored view of the
situation. Poets paint beautiful and
an ideal love. Theirs Is usually the
passion itself in It's purity and It does
no harm to place such an ideal before
young people. But the light novels
which young girls consume in such
quantities are vastly different, Here
love is represented As Il Is demonstrat-

SIDELIGHTS ALONG
WASHINGTON BYWAYS

In his pocket to temporarily fill the
the seat left vacant by the death
Senator McLaurin. he expected that
his stay would be so short that his
personal baggage consisted OF a cou-
pie OF dress suit cases. Thanks to
a deadlocked Legislature In Missis-
ippi, the grizzled veteran OF the Com
federate army is permitted to get ac-
customed to his surroundings.
For time 1t looked as though he
would not even get his name into
the various government publications.
He expected to be back on his old
plantation long before the new Con-
gressional Directory was issued. Be-
ing wise in his generation and having
some knowledge of the stubbornness
of a Mississippi Legislature, the Sem
ator decided to take a chance on
getting into the directory before his
successor could arrive. He prepared
his autobiography. and 1t appears In
the latest edition.
The mere fact that he is the baby
of the Senate in point OF service, al
though one OF the oldest members In
point of years, did not halt the pen
of Senator Gordon. Apparently he
found the history OF his life an in
teresting subject, for 1t takes up all
most a page. The Senator 10 not

emissary of the Confederate States:
his escape to Canada when he was
suspected OF having been an accom-
plice in the assassination Of Presi.

eral Dix in New York, and his dis
franchisement for having served In
the Mississippi Legislature in 1863.

he wants. He Is member of the

committee appear before their col

Not so with Optimistic George"
He starts off the proceedings by
telling a story of Captain Rufus
Harding and his crew OF trusty life
savers down on Cape Cod. Since
the story is told by Mr.. Lawrence. It
is certain to be a good one. He
keeps on telling stories until the COM
mittee is in good humor. and thea he
suggests that Captain Harding and
his crew would not have nearly so
much work to do In the life saving
line IL some of the harbors in that
section of the country were improved.
How small shall we make the APP
