A certain tender radiance ciinss
around old memories. We wonder
why? For distance lends enchant-
ment and the backward view is al
ways glorihed. Particularly as we
grow older is this the case. These
were the days!" we say with a sigh,
"and these days can never come back
any more"
Old memories bring gentle melan-
,holy in their train-a melancholy
which is half pleasure as well as half
pain. We sit down in quiet mood
and we brood over the past. The ten
der grace Of a day that is dead is
with us once more. 1t is very real,
very vivid. The scent of a flower, the
faint perfume of an old valentine long
since forgotten, strain of music, the
sobbing of violins, the sound of fall
ing rain will bring old memories back
TO us once more.
They are very sweet, these old
memories, although a certain sadness
clings around them. For we look into
the past through rose-colored glasses,
and vague regrets come to us at the
joys which never can return. We
must not dwell in the past, for the
present is with us and the future lies
before us, vital, keen, alluring. Some
beautiful lines of bygone writer car
ry a great truth with them:
My eyes are dim with childish tears,
My heart is idly stirred
For the same sound is in my ears
Which in those days | heard.
Thus fares it still as age comes on,
But yet the wiser mind
Mourns less for what it takes away
Than what it leaves behind.
And so no vain regrets of a day
lHdl 10 uedu uluSl udHlpeT our pTeStuI
or handicap our future. 1t is hard to
break links with the past-but idle
dwelling on old memories is profitless.
The girl who boards old letters and
rereads them all at intervals is not
acting wisely. There she sits in the
freight and her heart is beating a lit
tie quicker than usual as she goes
over the contents of that unlocked box.
For she is looking into picture of
all that has long since gone by.
She draws out an old letter, and
/ there insthe freight she sees a steam
or deck and a man bending over the
taffrail in the moonlight as he bent
when she said mo-"
She remembers how she cried that
night Now her hands are touching
the letters that he wrote-dear, i'm
pulsiye letters-but, although she
liked him dreadfully, dreadfully much,
she couldn't love him enough to accept
him-and SO he married some one
quite dull and unattractive!

cilings. Jim took many dances That
evening. Poor jim, fighting at the
front just now! She wonders if she
will ever see him again!
And here comes broken heart of
silver. What memories it arouses.
She wonders if dear old George has
the other half STILL She, was only a
schoolgirl then-but it was a very Sc
rious love affair, all the same. For a
whole long year she cared for George.
Then comes the thing that hurts
her most And womanlike, she lin
gers longest over it. 1t is an old ring,
battered and worn, and given her for
a keepsake. She thinks now on look
ing back over the years that she must
have loved the man who gave it to
her-only she didn't quite realize that
at the time. The ring was to be worn
forever. He said it was one day to
be wedding ring. and only returned
as such. He said-but there, they
often do, and end by marrying the
other girl.
Here is great-hearted Claude's lit
tie bundle of mementos-poor Claude,
who died out in Africa. He loved her
to the very last How was it that she
couldn't fall in love with Claude?. He
was the finest of the lot and died like
hero. She holds Claude's package
for a very long time and her eyes are
rather moist there in the freight.
Shall she keep these old letters, with
the memories they arouse? For soon
she is to be married to some one she
loves very much. And yet-and vet
she hates to sever the old links. There
is melancholy pleasure in brooding
over the past.
But finally she decides. "The future
lies in front and the future is nls anu
mine," she says bravely. "These are
relics that tell of girlish heart and
of many happy times when the hours
were minutes, and the minutes too
wonderful to be true in this world of
sad realities, But | shall burn these
relics, for brooding over the past can
only sadden the present and hamper
the future. He would not like me to
keep them"
So she burns the letters, and hel
heart feels happier.
! Old memories are very sweet and
we cannot always shut them out. Bul
Jan idle brooding over past glofies viii
only enervate the present, and the
wise girl will remember that in time.

BEDTIME STORIES
FOR LITTLE
FOLKS
MINNIE MoRToNs MONEY.

A chilly rain was falling. Though
the trees showed green in the park
and the yellow bushes glowed wet by
the fountain, it was cold and damp,
for long gusty May rain had set in.
81 Minnie sat by the window of the
tiny tenement room with her white
face pressed against the glass.
Through the wash down the pane she
could see the people hurrying by with
their umbrellas bent, but her eyes
were fastened on the corner waiting
for her mother to come home. For
Minnie's mother cleaned the trash
every afternoon from the great mar
BILE bank down in the business center
of the town.
The girl was cripple and spent all
day in the chair. But she tried to be
cheerful for her hard-worked mothers
sake. Presently around the corner
came familiar figure and Minnie
smiled with delight. A few minutes
more and Mrs. Morton was in the
room taking off her wet cloak.
"Here are some pretty bits of paper
[ have brought you, dearie,' said the
mother. 81 found a lot of different
colored bits in the waste-basket and
brought them home to you to make
mats.
Minnie took the bright pieces of col
ored paper eagerly and began to clip
them into strips, while Mrs. Morton
lighted the fire and began to prepare
simple supper. The blinds were
closed, the gas lighted and the room,
though very bare, looked clean and
comfortable. Mrs. Morton, who was
a widow, was poor, but loved Minnie
dearly, and did all in her power to
make the little cripple's life happy.
Mother" said Minnie, as her fin
gers flew fast with the colored papers,
81 was just thinking how nice it would
be if we could have little home in
the country, where 1 could see the
trees and flowers and chickens.
Wouldn't it be fine if we could?"
"You are so contented, DEAR" re-
turned Mrs. Morton, that | am sure
you would be happy anywhere"
But | would love to get out of
these brick walls" sighed Minnie
''just to sit out on the grass-to see
the trees wave over ones head and
hear the birds sing. Wouldn't that be
heaven? Then to look across great
fields and forests-how | would love
the country.
= 1t made eMrs. Morton sad to hear
the child talk thus. for she realized
how impossible it was for Door wom-
an like herself to leave the town in
which she had her humble work.
Suddenly, Minnie gave cry of sur
prise, but the mother was so busy over
the stove that she did not hear her

ceived. The following extracts are taken from a letter sent by Prof. Tur- ncl, written the 1st, relative to this subject:
 With all dairy feed selling at such high level, we would like to cali your immediate attention to the value of beet pulp at the present time. With corn and corn products feed sellingat about $43 per ton, we consider beet pulp a most excellent source for car-- bohydrates in a dairy ration and if fec wet would furnish it with those succulent properties so valuable for milk production at the close of the Iasture feeding. The cost to-day is $25.90 in car lots delivered. 2
 we would strongly recommend. that you urge the feeders in your county to consider seriously the use of dried beet pulp. and that you look into the possibilities of buying this feed comparatively in car lots for i'm mediate delivery. As further proof of the economic value of beet pulp at the present time we would call to yalr attention the following feed quotation received to-day, Corn meal. $45: hominy, s42.9c; bran, s33.5O; four middlines, s37.5o; cottonseed meal, $43.50; iinseed oil meal. s44.5O; istillers' grain, s3S-5O; gluten feed, $S7.25"
