FRANK DIscLosEs A SECRET AND
 MAKES A GUESS.


 Dear Social Corner Folks: 1 HuD- pose you are all trying to keep ooel. easy and calm during this hot, dry weather After a team or an auto passes there is such a cloud of dust you cannot see. It doesn't look as if we are going to raise much of a crop up our way; but we are thankful wa have no tornadoes and we can keep on our feet.
 The secret of happiness and cheer is the heart that goes out to others and the hands that help. Those who live for self alone have little idea how our inner lives are improved. the spirit strengthened and the heart kept glad by high regard for one another and good works.
 Sister Ruth: It is not my good for tune to do the things you hoped. A garden is a bit of ground in which plants and people grow and love ons another.
 I guess Shut-Ins pen name is now Sunshine. If so thanks for that pretty card. If you can get out and bssk in the sunshine I rejoice with you. I was glad to read letter from Sweet Lavender.
 NJ Roena: I am very sorry your | health is not good. Hope your illness is only temporary. Billie: Did card from me reach | you?
 Will Fay Verna and others please | write?
 l Ready: Yours received. A three | times thank you. | Jim: Flytime or pietime. l have had | dried apple pie that was good-thought | of you.
 Nat: Having is busy time. Are you getting much grsss?' Houseclean- 1 ing is the time fellow is liable to get his shins parked. If we do not get a little fun as we 70 along Ee are not likely to get any at all
 We get the best from all CorneTites and chance them all on q good dinner | FRANK.

SOCIAL CORNER POEM.
THE OPEN WINDOW.

The old house by the lindens
 Stood silent in the shade, And on the gravelled pathway
 The light and shadow played. I saw the nursery windows
 Wide open to the air; But the faces of the children
 They were no longer there. The large Newfoundland housedog Was standing by the door; HA looked for his little playmatee, Who would return no more. They walked not under the lindens, They played not in the hall; But shadow, and silence, and sadness Were hanging over all.
 The birds sang in the branches, With sweet, familiar tone; But the voice of the children
 Will be heard in dreams alone. And the boy that walked beside me, He could not understand, Why closer in mine, ah! closer.
 I pressed his warm, soft hand.

THE SUMMER FOOD

Dear Cornerites: I have been si- lent observer of the Social Corner for more than a year, and have read ev cry letter.
 Keturah Ann: Don't joggle Abijah's arm so, and don't make him so many pies. My Reuben only gets pie when there is nothing else to eat. During the spring and summer we have strawberries, entrants, cherries, blue berries, etc., with bread and butter, or cottage pudding with berry sauce, which is easy enough to prepare and goes a long ways toward filling up five little hungry stomachs besides three big ones.

The boy was Stanley Cramer, living
fourteen miles northeast of the city.
The automobile belonged to Walter

was not known at first that the boy
had been transferred to the automo-

to the demolished wagon, expecting
to find the boy dead and a search
was commenced Of nearby alleys and

returned and told OF how he had
awakened to find himself in a rap

that from his knowledge OF the prog

that I'VE are rapidly approaching a

because fellow has been so unfortunate as
