HER LITTLE HAND IN HIS
Mr.. Pickles. Explanation as to Reason
Somewhat Dspelled the odor
of Romance.

Henne and Pecke were two henpeck-
ed married men. The other day they
met, and, after a few casual remarks
concerning the weather, the subject
of women and unfortunate husbands
was-perhaps naturally discussed. To
Henne, however, suddenly came
thoughts of years ago, when he was
happy bachelor, and (unconsciously
of what Fate had in store for him)
was walking out" a girl who was,
later on, destined to bring him sor-
row and misery.
Pecke, seeing a "far-away" look in
his companions eyes, inquired the
meaning. Henne retorted dramat-
ically, 81 was just then thinking, old
fellow, of-those happy days long ago
when l used to hold that girls hand
in mine for hours-when-"
But the equally unfortunate Pecke
suddenly cut his companion short by
exclaiming: why, that's nothing!
Cheer up! Do you know, only yes
terday l held my wife's hand for three
solid hours"
WHAT" said the startled Henne.
Eyes, it's fact" Resumed Pecke,
sorrowfully; "and l declare if I'd let
loose she'd have killed me."-London

Hot Weather Drink.

water as a more sensible drink for hot
weather than "ice-cold" blends of wa
tiers, sirups, acids gulped at the mar

his favorite tipple is as follows:
For three pints of water you will
require teacupful and half of well
washed pearl barley, four Jumps of
sugar and the thin rind and juice of
one lemon. Pour boiling water over
it, cover with saucer and let 1t stand
till cold; then strain again and again
till clear, and pour into jug"

Then set the jug in cool place

WERE NOT AT ALL DIvERTING
serlous-Minded Quaker Saw Nothing
to Smile at In the Lighter Poems
of Whittier.

The late Gertrude Whittier Cart
land, cousin of Whittier, the Quaker
poet, presented an ideal picture Of
the sanity aged Quakeress. Her
sweet, serene face, framed in its tight
little bonnet, seemed to shine with
clear, spiritual radiance; to hear her
recite, in a voice of tranquil music,
the hymns and graver poems of her
famous relative was always delight
full.
But she did not have her cousins
likely sense of humor; and 1t was
hard to tell whether this lack lessen
ed or increased the effect, when in
exactly the same grave, even tones,
she occasionally read aloud some Of
the verse that he wrote, not for pub
llcation. but for the pleasure of his
intimate circle. That was always
light, frequently gay, sometimes fair
ly rollicking.
Her admiration for the writer made
her try very hard to appreciate his
fun; and she thought she did so; yet
mirth seemed always as alien to her
tongue as red rosette pinned upon
her dove-gray shoulder-shawl would
have been to her costume. This In
congruity was felt, doubtless, by an
other Friend, of even more serious
mind than she, who once said to her
reprovingly:
THE verses are harmless, and i
perceive they are intended to be
diverting; but they do not divert me
Gertrude, and do not think they
really divert thee. Be honest with
myself; If thee read them and did not
know thy cousin Greenleaf wrote
them. would thee not consider them
