tism in your knees so that youl
creak as you walk. You have been
everywhere, you have seen everv-

is to sit down peaceably and quiet

that is left to you in well-earned

OF course, you are very sure that
Maudie is marrying you for your
self alone, and that she and that
hungry family of hers have M
eyes on the present pickings and
your future will. But do you i'm
agine for a moment that Maudle
is marrying you to sit at home Of
an evening and play cribbage with
you, or to nurse your govt, or to
listen to your "reminiscences Of the
Civil war?
Not at all. What she's planning
to do Is to have a box at the 3D.
era, and the dinners she will give,
and the parties she will go TO- and
the jewels and the clothes she will
have-that's the price she figures
on for being an old mans darling
You think you can control her, but
age has not the strength to strug-
gle with youth, and the old hus-
band is as wax in the hands Of the
pretty young wife.
Youth must have its fling, and il
you marry young girl you must
be content to drag your old bones
around to entertainments of nights
when they are aching to be in bed
An Old Mans Marriage.
You must see your young wife
giving to young men the smile she
will never have for you. You will
be torn with the futile jealousies
and suspicious Of age, and you will
be bored-oh, Colonel, how you will
be bored with the companionship
of child who does not know one
thing that you know, and regards
all of your opinions as fossilized.
For an old man to marry young
girl, Colonel, is nothing but senile
dementia. Don't commit it, Marry
a woman Of suitable age to your
self, one who has her own tWinges
of rheumatism and who is inter-
ested in red flannel instead Of lin
gerie, one who has been about I'M
til she is glad to put on easy slip
pers Of an evening and sit by the
table and read, instead Of going to
balls; one who, like yourself,
knows what has gone before and
with whom you can say, Don't
you remember"
Each age to it's own, Colonel.
Keep in your own class, and your
Indian summer romance will be as
beautiful as your springtime one,
but when springtime and autumn
try to mix up we get matrimonial
billiards..

And did she hold a supple willow
wand in her slender hand and sing
to herself as she went away across
the far, far green hills around the
bend, past the place of the old cross
dog and beyond the house with the
red barn? What was it called to
her from the barn yard? Something
shrill and reproving. Little brother
said it was a guinea hen and he
started to mock the cry, POT rack,
pot rack" till she put her hand
over his mouth and made him run
with her out of hearing.
Who were those strange people
they met on the road, a man and a
woman in a rickety cart, with a
cover to it and queer ragged table
clothes or something hanging out
to dry on the cover? The woman
wore red beads, and she had white
teeth, and when she laughed 1t
made the little girl afraid
And what a wild dog II was that

furtive. The Little Girl had to
drive old Hero away from him two
or three times he wanted to fight

And did they find bear tracks
along the soft green of the path
beside the laughing stream, or
maybe they were tiger tracks, you

Old Hannah's Victory

THIS morning, in a shaded lane
I met the Minister of Pain;
His aspect was detected;
And streaming through a cottage

a light I'd never seen before
On threshold was reflected.
Each naked vine about porch
Had gained refulgence like loren
In some mysterious manner.

BEAUTY
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
Copyright,

EETHINKS there is no greater W ork in life
Nj Than making beauty. Can the mind conceive
One little corner in celestial realms
Unbeautiful, dull commonplace?
Or picture ugly angels, lily clad?
Beauty and splendor opulence and joy
Are attributes of God and his domain,
And worth and virtue. But why preach
OF virtue only to the of men,
Ignoring beauty, till they think it sin?
Why. if each dweller this little globe
Could know the sacred meaning of that word
And understand its deep significance
Mems thoughts would form in beauty, till their dreams
However humble; they themselves would grow
Godlike BETTING such a fair estate.
Let be done with what is only good;
Demanding here and the beautiful
Lest with the mind and eye on earth unframed
We shall be i'll at ease when heaven is gained.

% The Dream of a Dying Woman %

|HEY took her off the train in
Kansas City the other day,
the woman who was going
home to die,
She had been out West to get
wen, high, dry air they told her
would cure her, and so she left
every one she loved, and every
thing she knew, and lived alone for
a year. But it was no use and so
she started home to die.
Alas! it was too late-she had
waited too long. When the train
was nearing Kansas City the wom-
an reused herself from her stupor
and looked out of the window.
Trees" she whispered, trees, and
l smell water somewhere, running
water. Home I'm getting home at

she was gone Home, well and light

Did She go Wading?"

the home she loved so well, I'll
warrant A little laughing, gossip
ing, friendly stream, with water
cress along its shadows, and tiny
darting trout hiding in its GOODNESS.
Did she play in that stream when
she was a little girl, l wonder, did
she make boats with leaves for sails
and set them afioat so proudly,
down. down the sparkling water to
the great open sea a thousand
miles away?
Did she "go wading" when the
first soft DAYS Of spring called to
her to come and be part of the
things out in the lacy shade of the
green and waving willows? Did she
have a play house in the old will
low tree, do you suppose, was the
first broad branch the parlor, and
did she invite company to see her
in the reception room higher up the
Dough?
Did she make wands of the sway
ing tips, and change her little
brother into a green frog when he
took her doll and pretended to
throw her into the river?
Said It Was Guinea Hen.
Oh, yes! they probably called the
little shining stream a river and
thought It a very swift water in
deed and liked to tell each other
how dangerous it was down below
where it got larger after Clear

Spring.
Where did it come from, that
stream of soft delight? Way up, in
the green hills over past, beyond
and further than way off
Did she ever run away a whole
day to follow and find out. the little
vagrant girl with her petticoats all
askew and her stockings hanging
down and her hair all unbraided
till the very birds stared TO see her?
