HAPPY WITHOUT GIFTS
CYNTHIA MISSED NOTHING REAL
ON HER WEDDING DAY.
Episode That Makes Plain There Are
Two Ways Of Looking at Things,
but Sylvia Was Unable to
Understand 1t.

All the evening Dick had seen that
CYNTHIA had something on her mind;
at last she spoke:
Il went over to see Sylvia today.
Her dining room is beautiful. She
had nine berry bowls!"
Three weeks from now" said Dick,
you may have 20"
"And five gilt clocks-why, she
even has one in her kitchen"
IF you want a gilt clock I'll buy
YOU one tomorrow" Dick promised.
But Cynthia was not ready to laugh.
dick, | never quite realized it all
before. Sylvia and Bert had to buy
a cabinet to hold the cut glass, and
of course they felt that they must
buy one worthy Of the glass. Then
they had to buy the rest of their fur
niture to match the cabinet, and so
they have nothing left for the library.
And then Sylvia said they had so
much to pay back
80, Dick, think of having a pay
back feeling about your wedding!
Somehow it seemed as if Sylvia's
gifts had been just things; you could
see that that was all they were to her.
1t frightened me a little. II every
thing wasn't planned and the girls
gowns made, I believe I'd give it all
up, and have just the few dearest
people that we know love u.s."
OF course Dick had many things to

half-comforted-but only half; and
when. the next day, the first gift ar
rived, and it was a. berry bowl, she
felt like laughing and crying at the
same time.
Then, suddenly, everything was
changed. Mrs. Wilmot, her mother,
became seriously i'll, the invitations
were hurriedly recalled, and for many
weeks there was no time to think of
anything except the invalid. When at
last she began to recover, a few
friends gathered at the house n aft
ernoon and Cynthia and Dick were
quietly married.
1T is such a pity that you had to
miss your big wedding and your
presents and ALL" Sylvia Peabody
said, pityingly.
But l didn't miss anything Gym
thia replied, happily. 81 had the dear
est gifts! Old Mary hemmed me a
dozen ~dish-towels."

know, of course. that you had some
lovely things, but so few. We had
ove forty pieces of cut glass alone
Il remember. You had beautiful
gifts" Cynthia said, gently.
"Now what Sylvia asked her hus-
band that night, "do you suppose Gym
thia meant? 1t sounded as if she
were sorry for me. Cynthia Wilmot
always was queer, anyway!"-Youth's
Companion.

Baseball In Canada.

Zone thing that surprised me dur
ing my recent trip to the Pacific coast
was the intense interest taken In
baseball in the far west and in the
nearby sections of Canada. OF course
you all know that. there are some
crack-a-jack clubs and hundreds OF
thousands Of 1S-karat fans out there
In our own states, but what you prob
ably don't know is that the people of
western Canada are positively crazy
over our national pastime. OF course
the Americans from the states who
have gone up there and settled are
responsible for the games introduce
ton, but 1t has enough followers
across the border today to make it a
mighty paying venture for the club
owners. Our company made one-night
stops in such places as Saskatoon,
Edmonton, Regina and Calgary dur
Ing the time the worlds champion
ship series was being played, and to
see the immense crowds in front of
the many bulletin boards eagerly
watching the scores and plays re-
minded us of what we had been &C.
customed to on such occasions b.. in
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and
Boston. Believe me, the fan in Sas-
katoon and Calgary knows almost as
much about the Red Sox and Giants

MILESTONES ON LIFE'S PATH
octosenarian Says There Are Three,
and One Is Mark Of Joy, but the
Other Two!

An octogenarian sighed and said:
''There are three milestones in a
mans life. The first, a very joyous
milestone, is when he ceases to be
called a boy, and for the first time
hears himself called "a young man.
All, how happy that makes him! A
young man. ,
1.-THE second milestone is a mile
stone of gentle melancholy. It is
when he ceases to be called a young
| man and for the first time hears him
self called "a man. A man-not q
young man any longer. That causes
hin to take thought What has he
achieved thus far? Is his life going
to be a success or q failure? A man,
not a. young man now, Ell? How fast
the years have flown! So he muses.
ruefully. r 7 r
'"The third milestone is a tragedy.
It is when he is first called an old
man. All, how that stabs him. An
old man. He will never forget the
innocent person-the child, the youth,
or perhaps the girl-who first applied
that phrase to him. He will never
forget the scene of it's application, a
happy scene, perhaps, which suddenly
turns funereal, dreadful. An old
man he who first hears those words
applied to himself quivers, for all his
wrinkles and gray beard, for all his
fat stomach and bald head, with an
anguish more poignant than youth has
ever felt. An old man-how it cuts
and tears. How It saps the strength!
What q heavy, limp, hopeless feeling
of desolation it leaves behind it.

now. But it always tortures me. It
is the literal truth that, even at this
late day, I'd rather get q blow in the
face than be called old. It would

Every Christian should enter

Gus use of the word Christmas,
which some one desecrated once
by supplanting the word Christ
with capital X. Think of it,

name with all it's sacred signifi-
canoe, and hallowed association.
Many persons are refusing to pur-
chase cards where the word Christ
mas is not spelled as it should be.
The press should take up this
thought, teachers ard parents
should impart it, and such wave
of protest should sweep over the
world that by the time the next

the word Christmas will be u thing

Tribute To General
Robert t. Lee Recalled

The following triUute to the
hero of the nineteenth century is
part of an address efore the
Southern Historical Society de-
Iivered by the then United states
Senator from Georgia, Hon Ben
II. Hill, September Is, 1890. As
model of rhetoric from the great
statesman who delivered it, but
more as an example of tho sublime
character it portrays, it cannot be
read too often. 1t presents pat
torn of manhood for all ages and
all sections of the country. Our
immortal Lee WIS the most patient,
tender, loving, daring of all the
spirits who fought and fell for the
Cause which is often miscalled the
lost. He was indeed "a foe with.
out hate. General Jubal Early
whom he referred as INV wicked
old man." had habit of referring
to the enemy as THE dampanklz."
General Lee knew no harsher ex-
preston than those people on the
other side" To quote the lines of
Father Ryan:
Forth from its scabbard never hand
Drew sword from stain so free;
Nor purer sword led drawer band,
Nor drawer bled for brighter land,
Nor brighter land had cause so grand,
Nor cause chief like Lee!
Senator Hills tribute follows:
when the future historian
comes to survey the character of
Lee, he will find it rising like a
huge mountain above the undulat-
ing plain of humanity, and he
must lift his eyes high toward
heaven to catch its summit. He
possessed every virtue of other
great commanders without their
vices. He was foe without hate.
a friend without treachery, a SOL
dier without cruelty, a victim with
out murmuring. He was a public
officer without vices, private
citizen without wrong, a neighbor
without reproach, a Christian with
out hypocricy, and a man without
guile. He was Clesar without
his ambition, Frederick without
his tyranny, Napoleon without his
sclishness and Washington with
out his reward. He Was obedient
to authority as II servant, and roy
al in authority rs true king. He
was as gentle as Il woman in life.
modest and pure as virgin in
thought, watchful as a Roman
vestal in duty, submissive to the
law as Socrates, and rand in bat
tie AS Achilles"
