In Massachusetts it was the worst Of ALL for

custom, and any child daring 20 think of much
as plum pudding on that day would make him
self liable to reproof by the authorities All along
the stern and rockbound coast the only Christmas
trees in the days of the Puritan domination were
those that nature had planted there and had
adorned in December with feecy snow. The fires
burned brightly on the open hearths, but there
was no invitation to the good saint to descend the
chimney when the embers had burned low AS

For three minutes Mrs. Bowser laugh

large and varied assortment of cold

she could control herself she took up
the parts again and said:

bed his forehead. In about ten min
utes the threatened attack passed
away, and he sat up with the intention
of asserting his dignity and self re-
spect and humbling her to the dust.
"You have ridiculed me! You have
insulted me" he thickly exclaimed,
but she seized the arm with which he
was gesturing and pressed it down,
patted him on the head in a wifely
way and as he sank back on the
lounge and closed his eyes and groan-

Machine Guns.

In the British army the machine gun
is the Maxim: the French use the
Hotchkiss. or Puteaux: Austrians en-
ploy the Schwarzlose and Germans the
Maxim. In all cases machine guns are
attached to the infantry forces, usually
in the proportion of two guns per bat
TALON. or 900 men.
These guns fire rifle cartridges at i'm
mense speed by mechanical means. and
usually the kick. or recoil, of the gun is
used for the purpose of reloading. 1t is
interesting to note that in test forty
two British first class shots engaged
against a machine gun, each firing at
the same target for one minute; the
gun discharged 22S rounds and made
sixty-nine hits; the forty-two marks
men discharged 40S rounds and made
sixty-two hits. Parsons Weekly.

Go A.fishinu,

1t is no contradiction to say that no
man is a true fisherman until he can
angle all day without catching any
fish, So many serious persons still
think to catch fish is the prime object
of fishing that most earnest effort
should be made to set them right.
They who pity the angler coming home
dog tired at the end of the day with
his empty creel are the ones to be pit
led. They do not understand the mean
ing of life nor of fishing, which Is a
sample and smile of life.
1t is never best to put a main pur-
pose too much to the front. If love Is
the best of life it is foolish to wear
ones heart on ones sleeve. When one
has great object in life and begins to
know it and feel it growing within
him then he should nurse and guard 1t
and go a-fsbing. Countryside Maya
