Precisely the same thing may be

Youthful Definitions

In order to give his scholars a firm
grip on original composition, a school
master believes in the value Of what
he calls "an exercise in framing def
nitions." After illustrating what was
wanted. he set the little boys to write
one sentence definitions of boy" and
girl" Here are a few of the ideas
evoked: "A boy is made of lot Of
bones with flesh put around them. .
"A girl is nearly the same. but we do
not cut her hair" "A boy is born a
baby" a girl is only ribs out of a
mans body" "A girl is Gods sheep. 4
"A boy is an ordinary creature made
out OF dust, and so is a girl"

received from his ladyloye. he must
also have a cash consideration be-
cause she has changed her mind and
doesn't intend to marry him. after all.
PAYS AS HE GOES
Or suppose a man does love and
ride away. Sad undoubtedly for poor
Mariana in her Moated Grange, but
ii is better to have loved and lost
than never to have loved at all. The
only abjectly miserable woman Is the
woman who has never had a romance.
and truth compels us to confess that
the modern lover who has to WOO his
inamorata with American beauties. and
theater tickets. and taxis. and little
dinners, comes pretty near to paying
his score as he goes along.
Inasmuch as love can not be manu-
factured to order. ii is one of the
unwritten laws of the love game from
which there should be no appeal, and
for which there should be no come
back, that when either party tires
he or she has a right to lay down
his or her hand on the table and quit.
with no more ado about it. 1t is a
loathsome thing to think that a man
would be willing to make a woman
marry him who did not want to. or
woman would accept a husband
who balked at the thought of her. or
in view of not getting husband or
wife would take a money considera-
ton.
Nobody should sit in the love game
who isn't good sport and game
loser. and who does not play for the
sake of the game instead of the
stakes.
For true lover feels that however
the game ends. the fun he has had
out of IT makes him break even.

her lips pressed tightly together. She
tried to put it on right
At last she was satisfied. and fast

asked her mother, who came in just

"Yes-but don't you think it just a

lSDUE TOMORROW

The little British sloop of war Al
gerine, which has been looked for by
the local naval authorities for some
time past, is expected to arrive to-
morrow, according to a cable mes
sage sent from Tanning island some
days ago. The naval station has not
been able to get in touch with her by
wireless, and therefore the exact time
of her arrival is not known. When
she is sighted Lieutenant Stevens,
captain of the yard, will go out to well
come her commander off port, and Of
fer him berth at navy dock No. 2.
The Algerine is twin-screw sloopI
of only 1,e5G tons. She carries an
armament of two 4-point-7 Arm
strongs, and four automatics, and has
on board six commissioned officers
and about fifty seamen and marines
Her skipper is Commander Francis

inc will remain in port. but the guess,
based on former visits, is that she
will be here for about week.
