The mind must be circumscribed an6
the vision limited of anyone who now
takes no interest in the verities Of
electricity; what It really is we cannot
know but what It foes we see on every
side; its future Is as great a mystery
as when the skeptic asked Franklin:
What use is this power?' and he re-
piled, "of what use is a child? 1t may
become a mar"
The electric coffee percolstor un-
doubtedly makes coffee Il the best pos-
sible way; conserving all the strength
and fine aroma of the berry, and with
the least expenditure of time and
trouble. The electric tea percoiator
combines all the useful qualities Of
the and modern teapots: the
toaster and egg broiler are delightful
and the disk stove cooks on the table
so that every meal may be a feast,
especially If one Ia a chatting dish
thing that pleases most among these
practical utensils is the electric grill;
this splendid device is ready for in

there Is an electric light socket.
1t does everything that you can do
with all the other electric cooking de-
vices that I have named except make
tea and coffee; for Il makes toast on

Miss Hinesley Entertains.

Wednesday evening the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. Hinesley on
Highland Avenue was the scene
of one of the most delightful
social gatherings of the winter,
when Miss 10 entertained about
twenty of her Central College
friends. The decorations, re-
freShments and amusements were
exclusive-heartS were every
where, not alone the legendary
heart of St. Valentines day
the mythical, the unobtainable,
but real hearts that throbbed
and beat joyouIy under the
spell Of a beautiful hospitality.
The game was hearts, the re-
freshments were-delicate and
delicious, and the hour was late
befole the guests took their de-
parure.

CLARA HAIGHT

Even the gypsy camp with its bevy
of fortune tellers was relegated to
the rear when Colonel Kirkham en-
tered. Youngsters who had heard of
the colonel's mighty exploits in the
Philippines gathered to stare art
lessly at the hero, whom Auburn
dale claimed as its own, and the
girls swarmed about him, glad that
their chance books provided an OPP
portunity of speaking to the man
who had done things.
Back in the knitted goods booth
Miss Martha Nellis shrunk into the
shadow and tears filed her eyes. The
sight of the colonel's hair touched
with gray reminded her that she, too,
was growing old. His hair had been
black that night when she had re-
fused him, and he had gone off to
join his company declaring that ne
would never return to Auburndale.
Ever since she had heard that he
was coming her heart had been in a
Autter, though outwardly she was as
calm and placid as ever. The years
had touched her lightly. Her hair
was still brown and thick, and scarce
a line marked her face, but she
shrank from the thought that she
was thirty-seven-far beyond the age
of romance.
She looked now with tear-dimmed
eyes to where the colonel was laugh
ing off a far more persistent attack
than any he had experienced in the
island possessions. With the skill Of
an old campaigner he fought most
of them off but Amy Knight would
not be dismissed.
@But just think" she pleaded. "a
dollar for a diamond ring"
81 don't see how you can do it fol
the price," he declared. "Do you give
the prize with every ticket?"
"Only with this one-the last ont
left" she countered. "T'Il get tn,
ring and show you"
She darted off to the booth wher'
the prizes were displayed, and cam,

OLD AcoUAINTANcEs

Lord Kames used to relate with
great gusto a story Of a man who
claimed the honor of his acquaint-
anceship on singular grounds. His
lordship, when one of the Scottish
Judiciary judges, returning from the
northern circuit to Perth, happened
one night to sleep at Dunkeld. The
next morning, walking toward the
ferry, but fearing he had missed his
way, he asked a man whom he met
to conduct him. The person accost-
ed answered with the utmost cordial
ity.
"That 1 will do with all my heart,
my lord. Does not your loGdship re-
member me? My names John
Thomson l have had the honor to
be before your lordship for stealing
sheep"
ooh, John, 1 remember you well"
exclaimed the judge. "And how is
your wife? She had the honor to
be before me, too, for receiving
them, knowing them to be stolen"
"At your lordship's service. We
were very lucky indeed to get off for
want Of evidence. 1 am still at the
butchering trade"
'Then," rejoined his lordship, eve
may have the honor of meeting
again."-Tit-Bits

hurrying back with the little plush

"But this is a lady's ring" pro-
tested the colonel in mock dismay.
what use will l have for that?"
"You never can tell when it will
come in handy" she declared, oracu-
larly. 81 am a seeress and l foresee
that you will need it."
She held out the chance invitingly
and the colonel good-naturedly

his love affairs"
"But suppose he wins the ring"
she limited. "He would have to give
it to someone, you know. 1t might
be Miss Martha"
"Uh huh" assented Frank Ford,
enthusiastically. "And then again,
it might not"
"But you can at least try" she inT
sisted. "You will draw the prizes.
If the colonel gets the ring"
She did not need to complete the
sentence. A glance at her own slen-
der hand, devoid of jewels, was sig
nifcant and so it happened that
when the drawing took place it was

"Surely the brave deserve the fair"
Neatly turned" he laughed APP
preciatively. Amy saw him turn
toward the knitting booth, and, in
her JOY, allowed Ford to squeeze her
hand in an outrageously public man
ner.
The knitting booth was in n
corner, and that farthest from the
platform where the drawings were
being held. The crowd had gathered
to watch the drawing and Miss Mar
tina sat alone in the booth.
MARTHA" the colonel said, with
soldierly directness, 81 just won the
ring: a solitaire. You refused the

me. Will you refuse this one? l

"There are others-younger," she
gasped, though the soft lights shone
in her eyes.
'There are Others" he agreed,
"and younger, but I want you, dear.
Will you put happiness away a sec
ond timer"
"No, DEAR" she said softly.
Tets get out of this" said the
colonel, impetuously. "Send for
some one else to be stOrekeeper."
Don't you want to go ove and
watch the drawings?" suggested
Amy, coming up at that moment. q
will watch the booth for you"
Miss Martha smiled gratefully at
the girl as she slipped out. The
colonel put a forefnger under the
dimpled chin.
81 don't know to just what degree
YOU assisted fate" he smiled, know
ingly. "But l hope there is some
one to make you as happy as you
have made me-"
And Amy, glancing across the
hall to where Ford was completing
his laborS, answered saucily:
