A Woman's Way,

"To begin with, what is your age, madam ?'' was the lawyers question.
 My own," she answered, promptly.
 "I understand that, madam; mean how old are you ?''
 "I am not old, sir," with indigna- ton.
 ''I beg your pardon, madam, mean how many years have you passed ?"
 "None; the years have passed me. "
 ''How many of them have passed you '"
 "All. never heard of them stop ping"
 Madam, you must answer my ques- ton. I want to know your age"
 "I don't know that the acquaintance is desired by the other side."
 "I don't see why you insist upon re- fusing to answer my question:" said the lawyer, coaxingly. ''I am sure I would tell how old was if I were asked"
 "But nobody would ask you, for everybody knows that you are old enough to know better than to be ask ing a woman her age."
 And the lawyer passed on to the next question.

OUTDOOR CHRISTMAS TREE
 tCOntinued from First Pugel

to the all hands round Sicilian Circle. It seems as if nearly every one who comes to Canaan to live becomes Can- aan- minded. The churches. the broth erhoods are trying their best to break up this 'let's stick to our own grand mas feather bed" attitude but it's like trying to dig up the dead with tooth picks. The easiest way, the old conser- vative way, with occasional sporadic attempts to catch up with and initiate the city Lzzies in their latest society crazes. This kind of thing in our women blocks moral mental and spirit ual progress among our men. The real sisterhood of woman is a growing idea in the great outside world of lead CTS toward the light that shone from the star of Bethlehem. To sing "Holy Night" around Christmas tree, light ed as electric lights alone can light them, with everybody in spirit taking hold of hands would be u revelation to us. We might take cold. Oh yes, the weather might be severe or stormy. Sure. It would mean lots of work. True. It would cost lot of money. That settles it. Circle All.

When Children First Speak.

The average child begins with the words mamma" or "papa" by eleven months. By the ending of the second year he is able to put words together in short sentences of two or three words. From this time on the progress in speech is very rapid, each few weeks showing great improvement. Names of persons, as a rule, are first acquired, then the names of objects. Next to this the verbs are learned and then adverbs follow in order. and last of all the per sonal pronouns.
