THE MONTH OF BRIDES

What is less rare than a bride il
June? Then, if ever, come perfect
wedding days.
The brides month is one of roses
and Nature is CARRIED carefully and
richly. The intuitive knowledge OF
brides that they will look best in
emblematic white against a back
ground of June opulence of color is
perhaps, the reason for the popular
ity of the month as the time of we'd
dings.
In June the "song of the wind in
the ripping wheat" is heard, and the
Gilt of the brook under rock and
vine." The honey bees which were
tipsy upon the nectar of blossoms in
May are divinely drunk in the red
clover, buzzing a merry bacchanale
to the glory of peace and plenty. The
robin has become busy housekeeper
teaching a nestful of downy babies
table manners and the difference be-
tween ferocious and edible insects,
and the rudiments of the art of mu-
sic. The young rabbits are growing
fat upon a banquet that outdoes a
thousandfold the feast of loaves and
fishes.
June-the month when Natures re-
newal and the earsh's bounty are
most in EVIDENCES an appropriate
month for marriages. Let those who
are American brides this June be
properly thankful that theirs is a
country in which there is harmony
between humankind and Nature, and
where peace far sturdier than Eu-
rope has ever known guards the
homes of the nation. And pray that
the black clouds which now threaten
may fade away.
The June brides or Europe this year
will be war brides, the din of battle
in their ears, the fear of death in
their hearts others-to-be of or
phans.

DREAMS ON THE FARM.

According to the Prairie Farmer
the farm needs more boys with mag
nation; more boys who dream dreams
and see visions. Times change, anc
the farm journal may know what II
is talking about. But recollections OF
boyhood days down on the farm re-
mind us that the dreamer didn't seem
particularly popular at that time and
in that section. What was wanted
more was boy who could wear out a
mule team chasing harrow across
the soft surface of freshly ploWed
field. and a boy who has accomplished
that is in no condition for dreaming
dreams when night comes. vi course
the field of endeavor was varisd; per-
hans il was a cultivator the boy was
exnected to pursue Throughout a day
which knew raught CT eight hour
laws, or it may have been stirring
nlow which slammed him in the Stats;
mr. If might have been cutting corn
or loading hay. Whatever 1t was, IT
was work, and mostly hard work, and
particularly so to the boy disposed to
dream dreams and see visions.
Still. he found time to dream; IN
the long winter evenings, or on rainy
DAVIS when there was nothing much to
do hut grease the harness or grind
the axe. his imagination had chance
But. contrary to the theory OF the
farm editor, the visions were not OF
improved farming methods; OF slios
and diversified farming and improved
breeds of live stock; he dreamed OF
a softer snap in livelier surroundings,
and some vocation where chores were
not regarded as a household necces-
sitv. And in time he wandered lar IN
search of his visions, and learned that
thew didn't look quite so well on close
ocouaintance. He has learned that
soft snaps are not to be expected In
hard world.
To the farmer boy of today things
are much pleasanter and more con-
GENIAL. There is still plenty of work,
it is true, on the farm, but the hours
are not so long, there are more con-
veniences and labor saving appliances,
the social life is better and neigh
bors are closer and more plentiful.
The automobile is coming into more
general use on the farm and travel is
easier and quicker He still dreams
his dreams, but the lure of the city
life is not so fascinating as it used to
be.

had made a rope of themselves. One
snake wrapped his tail round tree
that grew beside the well. Then an
other snake wrapped its tail around
the neck of the first and then another
his tail around the neck of
the second and so on, till they had a
snake rope 35 feet long that reached
down to where l was at the bottom
of the well. All had to do was to
climb out on that snake rope hand
over hand. But one of the most
things l ever knew snake
to do was one hot day when had laid
down under a tree to sleep. The
flies were something fierce and l
couldn't sleep with any sort of COM
fort, when one of my snakes crawled
up with rhubarb leaf in his mouth
and commenced to fan me with it,
keeping off the pesky flies while l
slept. The man who will kill one of
.hese non-poisonous snakes ought to
,e fined and jailed for it."
