EDDYTORIAL ON CHARITY

Being as we can't think of moth
! ing better to write a editorial
about for this issue of the Bugle,
we will therefore write on the sub
jeckt of Charity" which is a
good deal better than writing
nothing at all.
| We will probably not be much
disputed when we say that there
is a large number of residents of
Bingville who don't know what
the word charity means, and prob
ably never will-they wouldn't
know what it meant if they was to
look it up in the dicshionary,
which is impossible, being as there
amt probably more than two die
shionaries in Bingville, one at the
school house and tother at the Btu
gle office, to which we refer re-
peatedly and often in order to as
certain how certain words is
spelled and the meaning of same.
Charity consists of being char
table. Them as has charity are
always long suffering with their
lneighbors and are always ready to
overlook faults in others and will
ing to suffer being imposed upon
without losing their tempers, roll
ing up their sleeves and wanting
to fife. That's what charity is.
1t is said charity begins at
home" but charity in Bingville
don't begin at home by doggoned
sight. 1t would be good cal bet
ter if it did. 1t would be good
cal better if folks here in Bing-
vile would stop considering the
notes in their nabor's eyes and
paw a little attenshion to the kat
terpillers in their own eyes 1t
would be a good cal better if they
didn't talk about each other behind
each others backs and always try
to git the best of each other,
whether it is in horse dicker or
anything else.
| While charity is good thing,
enough charity is sufficient and
too much is a-p1enty. 1t is pos
sible for person to have too much
lcharity-look at us as editor OF
1.-THE Bingville Busle, for instants
| Now we have got so much char
| ity for people that we keep on
sending them the Bugle year after
Iyear and they never give us a red
cent in return for it, and probably
never will. Perhaps we will gil
our reward in heaven, but if we
could get a porshion of it here ane
now, it would enable us to pay of
lsome of our obligashions. ane

Samantha Still Sick

Samantha Deevers is on the sick list
as ushual this week. Tother day as we
happend to be a going past her resi-
dence she knockt on the winder and
beckond US to come as she wished to
speak to us and we done so only to find
Samantha settin up clost to the fire all
bundled up in shawls and blankets and
shivring like everything like as if she
was freezin todeth.
Samantha TUX us to book for not
mentchioning the fackt in the Bugle
last wk that she was on the sick list
and not only that but on sicker list
than ushual We apologised to Saman-
tina who was purity mad about it and
told her that if we diddent mentchion
her being on the sick list last wk it was
a oversize being as we aim to state this
fackt about Samantha in every lshue OF
the Boogle the yr round and have did so
with but very few excepshions for the
past several yrs.
Then Samantha seemd to cool down a
1eetle mite and said for us to see to It
that not mentcflioning that she was on
the sick list every wk hereafter diddent
ockur agin.
Samantha states that the reason she is
on a S1Ck0I ISL tlldI uSiludl lAAAo WIZ -
becuz last Saturday night her sister
with who she lives with come to her
bedroom to ask her a questshion after
she had went to bed for the night and
left the door open moren nlinnit and
that the draft of coolish air whitch
come into the room from the outside IS
whot give her fresh cold. Samantha
sleeps under two or three sets of blan-
kets and allus has her bedroom doors
1ockt tite and the winders all shet titern
a bung.
Samantha says that with this fresh
cold which she has ketched she per-
sooms that she will remain faithfully on
the sick list all this coming winter and
that she wont stick her nose outen doors
until about next May 1916 We don't
know of no person in Bingville who en-
lows being in poor health as mulch as
Samantha does and hereafter we will
endever to state she is on the sick list
each wk as reglar as elockwork

IN CHILDHOOD DAYS.

Dear Editor and Sisters: Reading Y. '. Z's letter recalled memories of t,l5 fun we children used to have dur ing the sugar season. Such fun gath ering the sap. We knew where all the sweetest trees were, and visited them often during the day. The snow was deep, there iu northwestern hassa- chusetts, and we had hard paths tram pied through it to the trees. These paths were naTTow. but not straight and after a warm thawy day 1t re- quired careful navigating to walk therein. \ mis-step meant 'slumping in'' to the knee, or deeper with a re- sulting boot leg full of snow, and. if a full pail Of sap was being carried a dGcking was more than probable.
 x. '. Z.: It is good to see a letter from you again. Please don't wait a whole year another time when you de- eide to write on q subject. Thank you. 1 am enjoying my usual health: am still quite closely confined to the house by illness though, but it is another's, not mine.
 Married and Happy: The salad dressing is fine. Thank you very much for the recipe.
 Valentine: Do come again soon, and please don't change your name, might not recognize you under another.
 I wonder where the first Sweet Six teen is. If she has changed her name because of added years and dignity, wish she would tell us so. The new Sweet Sixteen is all right. Some day may send the recipe she asked for i no one gets ahead of me.
