Where should such q man look for

They learn to watch for the kindly
gentleman who always has a smile
and gentle word for them They stop
their play to run a little way with him
as he clasps them by the hand. He is
glad to see them SO joyous. Their
friendship is always sincere. When
one little toddler lisps, you don't live
in our house, but I love you," he
realizes that the dear old world is as
full Of the golden promise of love as
ever; that it's only his poor heart that
is weak and weary with it's doubling
Brave is he who can realize that he
cannot change the great eternal plan
to give love to some, take love from
others. If the hearts door is shut
firmly against brooding memories they
cannot enter and lodge there. The
world does not change. It's the people
in it. Children romp through child
hoods golden hours, grow to lovely
girlhood and young manhood, meet,
love, and wed, and walk sunny paths
awhile, then suddenly one loses the
other. Life, loving and loss are re-
peated. The world goes on. 1t is
cloudy today, but on the morrow the
sun breaks forth again. Having once
loved makes the heart tenderer to-
ward others; natures more charitable.

Advantage of Silencer.

This crash of the bullet makes the
value of the Maxim silencer very little,
so far as military efficiency is con-
cerned, in the way that the fiction
writer imagines the silencer to be USE
full, but not to prevent the enemy from
discovering the position of the men
firing as many fancy.
Its value lies in the fact that 1t
eliminates fully half of the recoil OF
the rifle from the action of the gases
in it's chambers, and it gives the off,
GERS much better control over the fire,
because of the lessened noise of the
rifles. 1t cuts down the roar of the
Springfield to about the noise of the
$500 and thus the roar of the rifles
at the firing line is much reduced, and
the commands of the officers can be
heard.-Outing.

IF YOU HAVEN'T A SWEETHEART.

Love is just morning glory, doomed al
noon to die;
Love Is only half a story told in passing
by;
Love is gold so delicate the faintest flame
would melt it:
Love is nothing. but God help the man
who's never known or felt it.
If you haven't a sweetheart, try to
review the situation, and see if it is
not your own fault Lovely woman is
to be wooed, and therefore to be won.
But they have no patience with lag
CARDS in the love game. A man must
show an interest in women if he ex-
poets them to be interested in him in
return. Because one of the fair sex
is shy and seemingly cold. he shouldn't
be faint-hearted and in despair lest his
suit might be unsuccessful
There's no woman who detests
man because he loves her if he's come
ly in her sight. Even the plainest of
men. plain to actual 'homeliness, have
been known to aspire to the hand of
the loveliest women and have led off
the prize which handsomer men have
failed to secure.
Abraham Lincoln had a notable love
affair of this kind. The girl whose
hand he sought in marriage was ia

WORTHY OF HONOR.
Washington National Monument
Association Has Deserved
Well of Country.

an EVERY birthday of George Wash
" ington for the last II years
meeting of small but distinguished
body has been held in the city of
Washington. This body is the Wash
ington National Monument society,
the organization which brought about
the construction of the giant shaft
which dominates the landscape in the
federal city.
While the war department has the
care and custody of the Washington
monument, this society has a quasi
public status, exercises paternal
watchfulness over it, possesses the
right to send mail under frank and
stands ready to resist any plan or pro-
posal which seeks to change in any
way the monument or its surround
ings.
John Marshall. that great jurist. was
the society's first president. Since
then. beginning with Jackson, the
presidents of the United States have
been ex-ofiicir presidents of the So
ciety
The organization of the monument
society in 1888 was undertaken by
representative citizens OF Washington.
after long experience had caused them
to despair of congress acting in the
matter of erecting a memorial to
George Washington. The continental
congress as early as 1888 had promised
to erect a memorial to Washington,
and Major L'Enfant. In laying out the
city of Washington, had set apart res.
ervation No. g." containing 80 acres
on which the monument now stands
as the site for a memorial to Washing
ton and his compatriots.
The monument society on organiza-
tion issued an appeal to the country
and proceeded to collect subscriptions
in amounts not exceeding one dollar
to erect a monument Money came in
fairly we'll. Then the society. having
found privately-owned sites increasing
in price whenever the owners were ap-
proacned. appealed to congress in 1888
asking the donation Of a site. Not un.
til 1S4S did congress respond with a
joint resolution authorizing the society
to erect the monument on such land
as the president of the United States
and the society might select.
The 80 acres OF reservation No. 3"
were chosen and decided to the society
by deed signed by President Polk.
July 4. 1S4S, in the presence of some
fifteen or twenty thousand persons, the
cornerstone was laid In the northwest
angle of the foundation with impres.
sive ceremonies
Actively the society continued to
raise money throughout the country
and to rear the monument. Six years
after the cornerstone had been laid
the shaft had reached height of 153
feet, at an expense, all paid by pri-
vate subscription, Of some $230,000.
At last, in 1876, congress voted $780,.
900 for the building of the monument
to be appropriated at the rate of $780,

work to be carried on 5y commits.

of making two beverages for meals I
