EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

'And he is so good to me- said the
engaged lady, Herewith concluding
her ecstatic category of "himself's s
virtues and her list of reasons why she
was so fortunate in being about to
marry him.
Incidentally, she evidently thought
that one of the very best reasons-per-
heps the best
And so. undoubtedly, do most of the
ladies' who revel in the splendid service
their knights of the loving heart do
them.
And yet is it really any reason at
all?
Does the fact that thu man in love
becomes beautifully generous and
tender hearted and chivalrous towards
cept that he isn't positive mon
strosity?
All men are good to the women they
love.
1t seems to me the real test is-has
your knight the qualities that will
Listen to what Agnes Reppner
thinks about it.
1T is not what man does when he
is in love, but what he does when he is
out of love (Phillip drunk to Phillip
ton. That pleasant old romancer,
MAESTRO Rusticiano di Pisa. tells US
that a courtieF once asked Charlie
magne whether he held King Meliadus
or his son, Tristran. to be the better
man. To this question the Emperor
made wise reply: King Meliadus was
the better man, and l will tell you why.
AS far as I can see everything that
Tristran did was done for love, and
his great feats would never have been
done save under the constraint of love,
which was his spur and goad. Now,
10 cor f11i11o hp said of
Meliadus For what deeds he did, he
did them not by dint of love, but by
dint of his strong right arm. Purely
out of his own goodness he did good
and not by constraint of love-
1T is this element of coercion which
gives US pause. Not out of his own
goodness, nor out of his own badness,
does the lover act; but goaded on by
a force too impetuous for resistance.
When this force is spent, then we can
test the might of his Strong right
arm
It seems to me there is a good deal
of food for thought in these para
graphs for the girl who is choosing her
life partner.
Yes 1 got your objection.
1t would be hardly pleasant or con-
venient for the lady to wait to test the
true worth of her lover until the force
of his :ove is spent
Still think any woman, no matter
how much she is in love, can and
should stand aside from her love and
try to judge whether this man who is
so good to her, the woman he loves,
has also the qualities which will make
him good to the women he doesn't
love.
By this test and this test alone, it
seems to me, can she truly judge
whether he will be as good to live with
as husband as he has been as a
lover.

HONOR BRITISH SOLDIERS.
Bones of Men Killed $50 Years Ago
Find Resting Place.

Niagara Falls. N. 7. June 25=E,s-
corted by the garrison at Fort Niagara,
four companies of the Twenty-ninth
United States infantry and distin-
guished company of Canadian officers
from the militia camp at Niagara On
The Lake, Ont, the bodies of four SOL
diers of the Kings Eighth infantry,
supposed to have been killed in battle
in 1883 and recently unearthed were
laid at rest Sunday in the old post Gem
etery at Niagara, within the shadow of
the walls of the ancient fortress, in
the assault on which they fell.
The ceremonies began when Brigadier
General w. II. Cotton, in command of
the Niagara On The Lake camp, ar
rived with his staff at the post landing
where Major Henry D. Styer, COM
mandant at Fort Niagara awaits his
coming. AS General Cotton put foot
on land, a salute of eleven guns was
given in his honor.
The coffin bearing the remains of the
men rested in the nave at the post
chapel, the union jack covering it.
Following the short Office of the dead
of the Episcopal church the coffin was
borne to the cemetery by noncommis-
stoned officers.
AS it was lowered into the grave
three volleys were fired by a company
of regulars and the last post was
sounded by a Canadian bugler. SO
after nearly $50 years the bones of
the four men of the kings Eighth found
permanent resting place.
