THE CLEVER
 PROMISES HE MAKES

"Golden opportunity is never offered twice. Seize, then, the hour When fortune smiles and duty points
 the way,
 Nor shrink aside to 'scape the spectre fear,
 Nor pause tho pleasure beckons from her bower,
 But brave1y bear thee onward to the goaI.''
 The average man contends that all is fair in love and war but it is poor
 policy for a man to promise his sweet heart Iuxuries after marriage which he well knows he will never be aole to give her. He is careful to keep from her the exact state of his finances. He tells her that she will mot have to live with his folks or her own: that it is his intention to fur- nish a cosy little flat, a dovecote all their own, where she is to reign as queen: that the place will be big enough for her fatber and mother, should she care to bring them in after a while; aye, and for her little broth CTS and sisters too-knowing all the while that he hasn't laid by the first red cent for housekeeping as yet and
 his salary of twenty per week would have to stretch out considerably to enable him to support her, let alone her family, whom he never intends to provide for.
 He promises her pleasure trips ga- lore, though aware they will never mater1alize- thing, everything that will keep her. good hunored and in love with him. He thinks she will make the best of it after marriage and settle down to the inevitable the situation and still have blind faith and trust in him. Love is never so near toppling over as when a woman dis covers, past all doubting. that the man she loved has deceived her wilfulIy, deliberately Ever afterward when he does tell her the truth she is wont to suspect him from every viewpoint
 How much better it would be if, in- stead of making clever promises, he had said to her: Dora, we love each other and intend to marry. Now I want to tell you what you are to ex- pete as my wife. In the first place, my salary is but twenty dollars per week. Up to the time I met you had no incentive to save money. In con- sequence, I havent's any laid by that could use now to buy a housekeep- ing outfit and pay a months rent or so in advance. That means if we wed now that it's boarding for us at pres ent If we waitIto save up the neces- sary amount it may mean a long dreary period of waiting. You are taking a poor man and must abide by what a man in my position can do for you l don't Want to run in debt-I don't believe in it. want to be hon est and straightforward with you, leaving the matter in your hands, ac- cepting your decision as to what you think best to do. T am going to prom ise only what I know I can do-work like a nabob to earn and save money enough without cutting out a few nec- essary pleasures for you which every engaged girl has right to expect, such as going to the theatre now and then or to a ball or an outing It is best for you to be sure of what's be- fore you rather than be disappointed
 Moral-the man who has made false pretences has a hard life of it. He has opened the door for love to fly out

TODAY'S POEM
THE SOLDIER IN THE SKY.
~~~~~~

While blaring bugles sound the charge And bees of battle sing, And guns a deadly anthem roar,
 And Death is on the wing, And siege or sortie leave the brave In crimson heaps to die, e3t Look up, O armies! and behold
 The soldier in the sky. A speck against the distant blue,
 A dot against the sun. He rides above the rolling clouds Defying sword and gun, He drops 9, bomb and speeds awaE Through spaces vast and high, Our fondest hopes are fixed upon
 The soldier in the sky. .--- Though angry batteries below
 May spout a shower, of lead, It's hard to hit moving mark
 That hurt1es overhead, A brother to the birds he scars Where eagles fear to fly. The war-1ord of the overworld,
 The soldier of the sky,
 -Mina Irving, in Leslie'A

The Game of Life,

Life becomes, as the stoics more than once tell US, like a play which is acted or a game played with coun- ters. Viewed from the outside, these counters are va1ueless, but to those engaged iR the game their importance is paramount. What really and u1ti- mate1y matters is that the game shall be played as it should be played. God, the eternal dramatist, has cast you for some part in his drama and hands you the role. It may turn out that you are cast for a triumphant king. It may be for a slave who dies of tor ture. What does that matter to the good actor? He can play either part. His only business is to accept the role given him and to perform it well. 4 < < Success or failure is a thing he can de- termine without stirr a hand. It hardly interests him That interests him is that one thing which he cannot determine-the action of your free and conscious will-Gi1bert lIurray.

 A NmAar Eeh

A male fish which hatches the young of it's mate is the Chromis paterfami1- ias. It is found in the lake of Tiberias, Palestine. Strange to say this indus trious fish matches it's young in it's mouth. When the female has spawned in the sand the male approaches and draws the eggs into his gills, where they rema in until matched, when they struggle out of their confinement into the parents mouth As many as 200 perfect young are sometimes found in the mouth of an adult male. How the fish manages to feed itself without swallowing it's young is mystery. The grown fish is about seven inches long and one and three-quarters wide. It's back is olive green, shot with blue, and the belly is silver white, marked with green and blue.

Kings and Shaving.

The classic case of king who knew better than to let anybody else shave him is that of Dionysius the elder, ty- rant of Syracuse, who appears to have been unab1ei to shave himself, for he is said to have resorted to the un- comfortable device of singeing off his beard with hot walnut shells, says the London Chronicle. We may suspect that Napoleon's was another case of the kind. Rogers asked Talleyrand whether Napoleon shaved himself Yes, replied Talleyrand; lone born to be a king has some one to shave him, but they who acquire kingdoms shave themselves That way of putting it pleasantly emphasizes the practical SUI periority of the paryenu to the help less, spoiled child of heredity, but pru- dence probably entered into the mat ter also, if Talleyrand's statement was correct.

Women and Literature

If a vote should be taken to elect the greatest living American novelist. there is no doubt that one of the fla vorite candidates would be Harry Leon Wilson. The author of Rug gles of Red Gap'' and other popular novels will begin shis dftieth year to- day, having been born in Oregon, ILL, May 1. 1887. It was twenty years ago that he first attained literary fame as the editor of Puck, and it was while he occupied the editorial chair of the New York humorous weekly that he published .tZig Zag Taleg'' and The Spenders,'' the latter being the first of those novels which have made his name famous throughout the Eng hsh-speaking world. In 1902 he shook the dust of Manhattan from his feet and settled himself in a cottage in the widest part of the Ozark Mountain region of Missouri. He resided there for some years, making occasional trips to the East and to Europe, but for some time he has been resident of California teThe Lions of the Lord e"The Seeker '' Bunker Bean." and ssRuggles of Red Capt have won for him a secure place in American Literature. and he has also coIlaborated with Booth Tarkington in several successful dra- mas

 MT. Wilson has not only written many ronances. but he has lived them. His first sure-enough romance had for heroine a writer of short stories, who became the first Mrs Wilson, but di-s xorced him in 1 9o1. Mrs. Wilson No 2 was no less a parsonage than Rose Cecil ONenI Latham, the gifted or ator of the sKewpies." who had also been married before.
