In the Mulberry Tree

" screamed the redblrd

the blackbird in answer.
'''Tisnti Mine! Mine! Miner' cried
the redblrd.
Keep away! Keep away" squawked
the blackbird. and he flew at the red
bird ready for night.
NOW. the tree wnere this quarrel took
place was a little mulberry tree out in
the front yard and not far from the
garden The mulberry tree was loaded
with ripe fruit-fruit as tempting and
sweet as any bird could wish for; and, of
course. all the birds wanted some.
Unfortunately they didn't stop to notice
that the tree was loaded-that there was
plenty for all; that there was no need for
lighting. They foolishly wasted all their
good time quarr'ing about who had a

MISMATED
COUPLES
By Ellen Addir
SmootIlness and the COurse of Trhe Love

II certainly was an amusing case, and
yet cannot help thinking that many OF
the divorce cases of which one reads
have no better ground than the little
trivlalities which are intensely annoying
to some natures. oh those mismated
couples and their eternal disputes and
petty differences! One wonders why on
earth they ever became yoked together
foi a heavy and uncomfortable yoke II
proves to be!
There are very many people who really
are cut out to be old maids and old bach
elors all their lives and who. IL they only
knew It, would render humanity SER
vice by staying single! But these are
the very people who rush into mlsman-
aged marriages. and who generally con-
trive to pick each other out and start
married life together without the shadow
of a chance of happiness!
II people would only pause and consider
before taking the ill-advised step of what
congenial yokinR what miseries they
would avoid! The only lasting basis OF
happy marriage liz community of in
terests and an absence of the annoying
qualities which crop up to spoil n mar
riage and to incense either husband or
wife, or both.
Such minor differences as varying
tastes In tea and coffee which the little
husband in the divorce case quoted seem
very trivial, but they evidently were too
much for him! The course of true love
could not stand any such vagaries! And
so the affair was dragged into the courts
and furnished an amusing newspaper
story and at the same time warning to
the matrimonially venturesome.
II is not good for man to live alone so
the Scriptures assure us. Granting that
that may be so. it should be appended
that it is not good for woman to live
with some cantankerous man who will
probably render her life a misery to her
She had infinitely better stay single than
accept such a fate. And looking we'll and
carefully before the leap is the only
course advisable.
