PAYING THE FIDDLER.
By Thomas Taper.

Steve Mason was sitting in cell in
the county Jail, having committed an
offense that was pending investigation.
He was almost blind, His limbs were
twisted with rheumatism, He was un-
washed and unkempt.
Taken all in all, Steve was not at.

Now nearly go years old, this man in

forty.
1t need not take long to spend that
amount if one knows how But Steve
was an amateur Money to him was
the means for getting lot Of little
things, He never (save once) spent it
in big sums. So it took him nearly 20
years to get rid of it.
"I know" he says, "that it all went
in buying a lively time for me and
the rest of them, but it was worth it,
Once couple of us went to Euprope
and stayed six months. 1t cost me

IN A CABARET.
BY James ]. Montague.

~ " AAShbbNiups
I like to eat, and while eat
I like to hear soft music play;
It harmonizes soup and meat
With pie and cabbage and souffle.
The 'celos that so softly mourn,
The plaintive violin 5 harmonic,
The oboe and the fluegelhorn
Promote digestion like a tonic.
But when l breakfast, dine or sup,
However well the music flow,
I like the dishes right side up,
They hold the food much better so,
And that is why I IN free to say
My mind is rather firmly set
Against the rather dashing way
They do things in cabaret.
Last evening, while, with mien sedate
dallied with a melon mango
Beside the table where ] ate
A husky couple danced the tango
And as they looped a final loop,
With very admirable daring,
They overturned my neighbours soup
Upon a shirt that 7 was wearing
And later on slipper flew
"a lady's slipper, diamond bordered
And lighted in a kidney stew
That I but recently had ordered
This inadvertence seemed to be
To all the diners most diverting,
But I am forced to own, TO me
Twas Just trifle disconcerting.
Ones laundry isn't fair to view,
When soup is used for decoration,
And slippers in kidney stew
Are works Of superogation.
I'm fond Of music when I dine,
Bnt in an unobtrusive way
A chop house, after this, for mine,
And never more a caboretl

money all his life. He haslove d it,
money all his life He has loved it,
thing else in life for it. And he has
a lot of it,
lie is nearly sixty.
He has not possessed good, manly
health for forty years. The enthusias-
tic joy of life has never gotten nearer
to him than thousand miles.
He is a grim and silent man. All he
has to think about is the safety Of
the money he has prayed for and
gotten.
Now he is afraid of it, for he has
not the strength to defend it. He thinks
it is getting ready to laugh at him
and fly away.
Reader, what would this man and
Steve say to each other about the past
and the future il they could have a
long and confidential talkH
Both of them made serious mistakes.

either direction.

A COUNTRY DANCE.
By william F. Kirk.

By William F. Kirk.
1t was held in a hall neither dingy nor
grand,
And the various details for weeks had
been planned.
An untuned piano whose age was a
riddle
Was half of the music and so was a
fiddle.
First one, then the other well-meaning
musician
Sneaked out for a tankard of liquid
ambition.
1t was "Just two more coupler" "a
high tenor toOt)
Then "Just one more couple!" Then
"Partners salutel"
Now on with the dance, arms and feet
flying wildly,
Till "joy unconfined" would be put
ting it mildly.
Tall grangers and short ones, of col
lars bereft,
Did "Right hand to partner and grand
right and left" F."
TT was surely some shindig, this party
thought !,
More noisy and crude as the hours
hurried by.
But there WASH t one person in all that
array,
From the cider.filled clown to the TEN
perance jay,
Who dreamed of the Grizzly or Bunny
Hug twists.
Or the Turkey Trot dance on whicl
Fashion insists;
mot one of those "stunts" with sug
gestiveness stained,
That sprang from the dives, where the.
should have remained.
There was dearth of politeness and laci
of good dress,
And the dance ended up in a fracas
/ guess.
Just plain country dance, but I'm glaC
I was there,
Not back in the city at some swell
"affair. -

! could not help wondering what a
man must think Of woman who would
live with him as his wife for a half
decade, and Of whom he could not yet
assuredly say: "She loves me-"
Must he not consider her either very.
shallow in heart or very coarse in
nature7
If one were not sure that one loved
a man, and were willing to have him
equally sure that one did, one would
hardly wish to marry him.
If, after marriage, an awful awak-
ening comes, and woman finds that
she does not care for her husband, or
that he is not the man she believed
him to be, then, as the die is cast, she
must stand by her agreement-unless
the man S character be so evil as to
justify her in leaving him. Such a
union means misery, and it takes all
of decent woman S courage and in
genuity to keep the world from guess
ing how wretched she is
But if woman is married to good,
kind, considerate husband, and loves
him as she should love him to become
his wife, why not tell him that she
does7
Would she not want him to tell her
of his affection-and is it not a poor
rule that does not work goth ways in
this day when PAMELA and Clarissa
Harlow are fashionable no longer.
I once heard an able sermon on the
I two words "Say So.
The preacher claimed that if there is
worthy sentiment-such as graft
tude, friendship, appreciation, love
which we feel toward a fellOw-being
| it is our duty to "say sO.
Many of us mention the uncomfort
able or disagreeable sentiments tina
come into our hearts and minds-thel
why not mention the pleasant ones t
those who have a right to know
them.

Why Not Say So?

Virginia Terhune Van De Water.
It is evident from the novels Of the
fifteenth century that, in their day,
ben man was courting a girl, she
sPs supposed to be a shy, timid and re-
Ming maiden, shrinking from him,
Heading his approach and evading his
essence Whenever it was possible for
fr to do so.
After marriage she gecame a cling
K vine, and the man sturdy oak,
III is not necessary at this stage Of
e worlds history to call attention
b the fact that few wives are now of
le helpless variety, and that the stur'
Oak.and.vine fiction is quite out of
Shion,
Even without Bernard Shaw's sa'
Fes we could not fail to note that
odern girls are not the shrinking
Shite rabbits of the period Of Claris'
Harlow and PAMELA.
= Yet even now, in this day, when
oman looks man squarely in the eyes
hd meets him on a common ground
iere is among some wives a strange
lea that they increase their worth in
be estimation of their husbands il
pey are chary Of their caresses anC
iggardly in their expressions Of af
ectiOn.

The principle holds good in all hu-
man intercourse.
The mother who reproves a child for
wrong.doing should surely sometimes
notice his efforts toward improvement;
the employer who condemns a lack of
interest on the part Of his employe
should not feel that he must repress
the word of appreciation for faithful
duty.
l do not say that one need go out of
one s way and praise at all times; but
when the feeling of gratitude or of
appreciation is so strong that the ex-
preston of it leaps to the lips, why not
let it pass those lips9 And if in other
relationships besides marriage this
scheme holds good, surely between hus-
band and wife it should not be ig-
nored.
Some of us rememger some verses
written years ago that told of the
hard-working and conscientious wife of
farmer who never thought it worth
while to mention to his life partner
that he appreciated her, nor that he
felt any affection for her. But when
the poor woman, worn and old from
years of unremitting toll, lay dying,
the husband crept to the side Of her
bed and whispered in her ear: "I love
you"
At the strange words the heavy lids
lifted and an expression of astonish-
ment leaped into the sunken eyes. Then
the stiffening lips moved. "Why didn Y
YOU tell me so before7" they whis
pered.
Why, indeed'
Marriage takes all the love that one
can muster, coupled with strong philos
ophy and common sense, to make it
success. If the love is there, for pity &
sake, why not say so7 Why SHOULD
any woman hesitate to tell the maj
who has chosen her and whom she ha
chosen out of all the world that sh,
does love him. Why should she hest
tate to attest by word and deed tina
he is dear to herr
The man who does not like to b
petted and made much Of by one h
loves is a rare specimen. Said on
husband, in speaking Of his wife;
"When, as I sit reading, she passe
her hand over my hair, or when she o
her own accord, lifts her face to me fo
kiss. it means more to me than If sh
were to allow me to talk out my devt
ton to her for hours at time. " -
OF course it does.
In this rushing age of ours VIC max
too little of the love-truth we mipf
sneak The words are lies and trave
ties if the spirit is not back Of then
but If it is-say sol
If I would utter word of warnin
to any young wife it would be to urt
her not to be forever wondering
she is as much in love as she once wa
If she loves her husband as much
he loves her, if he and she are grown
closer together or drifting apart. Sci
analysis in marriage is fatal.

Small Town Girls
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

~ AAAA0 NANSANA WASS~@s
In an interesting letter which dis
cusses to some length the follies of my
own sex, the weakness of his, ques-
tion of interest is propounded by man
of culture.
After reviewing the numerous trag
edies which have occurred from time
to time as the result of the infatuation
of young women in villages and inter
ior towns, through love affairs with
strangers, the correspondent says:
cit has always been a great mys.
Itery to me why the stranger within
our gates has such fascinating attrac.
tions for some Of our American girls.
Let total stranger of good appear
ance and polite address come to town
and at once he is the favorite with
the girls at the prayer meeting and
picnic. Is it hero worship, or what is
it7"
To the man or woman who under
stands what the imaginative and ro-
mantle temperament means, this ques.
tion would suggest its own answer.
While familiarity does not always or
often breed contempt" itdoes de.
stroy, as a rule, romantic illusions.
The average young girl-God bless
her!-is possessed of good share of
sentiment and romance in her thoughts
OF the lover waiting for her somewhere
in the world.
She invests him with the qualities
most desirable in her estimation and
perhaps drawn to some extent from the
novels she has read.
The stranger who comes to town has
passed through all the unattractive
phases in his own village, and he may
be far less worthy of her admiration
and much further removed from the
standard of her ideal than her old play
mate, but she sees in him the object Of
her dreams, free fom all crudity, and he
seems to her a wholly superior being.
There is a novelty in all he says and
does; he has a new trick Of pronunci.
alton, or a new set of phrases, and he
brings the atmosphere of h new world
into her monotonous life. He tells her
of new scenes, new people.
Whatever affairs Of the heart the
) stranger may have passed through in
his evolving period, she has not been
witness thereof or a confident Of the
other maidens in the case, as she has
been with her childhOod's companions
When he tells her that he loves hel
she does not recall the fact that two
or three years ago he was the devoted
cavalier Of her sister, or her cousin o.
her rival in the high school.
The accident Of their meeting, tn,
day they first looked into each other !
faces, the hour they first spoke-al
= these incidents are thrilling and won
derful and food for hours of happ,
memories.
Blessed is she to whom such mem
ories and dreams remain forever.
For never in any ordinary association
}, of childhood and never in in the NOR
commonplace development of friend
ship into love can there be found quit
the depth of joy and sentiment whicl
u result from the sudden advent Of
great and lasting love.
