that was in his path.
Isn't he disagreeable?" said Speck-

YES" said Black Hen, but every

THE new rooster cannot crow as
loudly as White Rooster" said
Speckled Hen the next morning. Did
you notice the sun this morning? He
did not show his face for long time
after the new rooster crowed"
well, for one thing, he is just
splendid" said Black Hen; The makes
everybody stand around; and l do not
blame him. l think the old hens are
very rude to him"
Just then there was a great cluck-
ing and confusion among the hens
and hawk was seen just over them,
but as it came near a brood of chick
ems the new rooster quick as a flash
flew at him.
Whether the suddenness of the at
tack surprised the hawk so much that
he forgot to swoop a chicken in his
fight, or whether he was really fright
ened, no one knew, but the new roost-
er was a hero in a minute. He walked
away as though nothing had hap
pened and went into the barn, the
frightened hens running after him, but
he did not look at one of them.
Somebody must tell him." said
Black Hen, I'VE never had such pro-
tector before. He should be told that
we think he is brave"
So Speckled Hen stepped up to the
new rooster.
1--WE wish to thank you," she said,
"for saving the chickens, and we are
glad to have among us a rooster who
is so brave" The new rooster
stretched his neck and held his head
very high.
II thank you," he said, "one and all,
but 1 only did my duty. A rooster
should be protector of his flock as
well as cock of the walk" and he
turned and walked away. It'll keep.

the chickens gazed after him with ad-
miration. They understood that he
intended to be the ruler of the yard.

HOW LONG DOES LOVE LAST?

Fen in the happiest choice. where
fav'ring heaven
Has equal love and easy fortune given.
Think not. the husband gained, that all
is done;
The prize of happiness must still be won
Oft the careless find it to their cost
There are people, and supposedly
people of good sense at that, who be-
lieve that love is a plant, which is in
destructible; that you can slight it or
nurture it, fondle or abuse it, but moth
ing can alter or kill it.
There never was a greater mistake
Love is only strong as It is fed and
cOddled. 1t can be made to grow wings
or it can be hoofed or horned, accord
ing to the atmosphere in which it
lives. There never was a daintier
plant than love. 1t is like the down
on the harebell. One rude jar may
scatter it to the four winds of the
earth. Love depends upon kindness.
sympathy and appreciation. 1t is i'm
possible for the wife to keep on low
ing the husband who is rude in words,
brutal in action, tantalizing, stingy.
Disgust for the husband who makes
a household drudge and slave of her
can in time kill the most devoted love
in the heart of a wife.
Nor can a husbands love. no mat
ter how strong it may be, endure the
constant nagging of a wife or her
fretting and Tuning. without his af-
lection for her whitening soon or late
With a rightly-mated pair, true love
for each other would endure for all
time. With other couples it would be
like the poppy-bloom today and with
er tomorrow.
Affection lasts only as long as the
two are deeply interested in each 9th
er. When either begins to weary of
the society of the other, it is the fore
runner of loves decay. How long it
will last after this sets in is matter
of endurance. Very often a loving
word from the lips of either would
turn the tide. 1t is unfortunate that
those who have loved truly are often
too proud to make the first overtures.
1t is not beneath wife's dignity to
make the first advances. She should
not forget how sweet md gentle she
was to him in the days of their court
ship. Even a man who is Indifferent
to a wife cannot help having a kind
lier regard for her if, after morn
ing's row, he returns home, expecting
to renew the wordy battle and in
stead is met by her with outstretched
hands. smile on her lips and the
murmured words: 81 am going to for
get that we have had an unpleasant
ness. dear. Let's begin our lovil. all
over again." A man would have to
have a heart of adamant to refuse
such a plea.
The outstretched hands of husband
and wife coui easily bridge over the
chasm so wide and so deep that no
human power can span it from one
heart to the other. Love lasts only as
long as hearts are kind, true and af-
fectionate. Lovers should make the
compact ere stepping to the altar
that. after wedlock, the sun should
never set on them, finding them in an
ger with each other. AS the years
pass. they will cling closer to each
other. 1t rests solely with each couple
who plight their troth how long their
love will last.

THE NEW ROOSTER

"The old White Rooster is dead"

through the bars of the pigpen.
"You don't say So" replied Madam
Pig. did he die a natural death?"
she inquired.
NO." said Black Hen, "he was too
old and tough to eat. This morning
when the hens opened their eyes he
was on the floor of the henhouse with
his toes in the air.
Where will they bury him." asked
Madam Pig.

Hen, as she ran to a group of hens she

That afternoon the farmer came
into the yard and from under his arm
flew a rooster. He was black, with
red and yellow mixed in his feathers,
and he was young. AS the hens gazed
at him he seemed to feel the import
ance of his position, and he strutted
through the yard without turning his
head. When he reached the pigpen
he flew to the top of the fence and,
spreading out his wings, turned
around that the sun might fall upon
his gorgeous colors.

Hen.
"Heisn't so large as White Rooster"
said Speckled Hen. Then the rooster
crowed three times. Madam Pig

The novel falls into one of four
classes, as it deals with romance,
with life, with ideals, or as, lastly, 1t
takes the shape of work of art pure
and simple. Of the great novelists of
the last century, Scott, Thackeray and
George Eliot stand for the first three
types. For the fourth we look in
vain in that period. Mr.. Hardy, who
embodies it as to the manner born,
is of our own generation; and here
the name which at once occurs to us
for romance is that Of Robert Louis

Over Thin Silk the Flowered Material
Produces Lovely Effect in Sum-
mer Frock.

Flowered organizes are back in
fashion for summer frocks, says the
Cincinnati Times-Star. Lovely effects
may be obtained by mounting the
lowered organdie over thin silk. The
silk need not necessarily match the
tint of the flowers; for instance, a
lavender Powered orga1die is mount
ed over pale pink pussy willow silk;
a rose-fowered organdie is mounted
over faint lilac, and so on. Black
velvet ribbon sashes are much fancied
with these pretty costumes, and the
sharp note of black seems to make the
soft colors of the organdie all the
softer and more dainty.
