which they live, there are pretty sure
to be young folks there. When they
get their heads together there will be
something doing in the way OF frol1c
all the winter through. With the first
fall of snow the festivities afe sure
to start in with an old-fashioned sleigh
ride. A dozen girls and quite as many
beaux pile into the old bobsleds, well
packed in with straw. Mid shouts
and laughter, away they go, up hill
and down dale, to some farmhouse,
miles distant, where preparations
have been made for them. On comes
the hungry crowd, with shouts and
laughter and toot of horn. The hot
coffee and the doughnuts put an edge
on their appetites.
There was no room in the little
farmhouse for dancing, so the big,
rambling old barn was put in shape
fixed up spick and span. The floors
were scrubbed and sanded for dancing.
All the young men had brought every
lantern they could rake and scrape.
They were hung and lighted in jiffy.
The girls nimble fingers had fash

ever grew. Ropes of evergreens, holly
berries and yards upon yards of bunt-
ing were strung up quicker than it
takes to tell. Two of the young fell
lows brought along their violins, an
other his accordion, still another his
banjo. The music was fast and furi-
GUS.
But what jolly fun there was dane
ing to it, among the lads and lassies!
Many girls exchanged beaux. Girls
who had come unescorted found fell
lows there in the same predicament.
Tender little romances grew out of it.
Every girl or young man who par
ticipated in the revelry had his or her
name down for just such another rev.
elry at their respective homes. What
did it matter how the storm ragged?
1t did not scare young hearts and
warm blood.
They laughed in the face of the bliz-
zard. 1t deferred them not a whit.

couples spooning. My! What rush
there was for the engagement-ring
counter at the local Jewelers.! Talk
about your summer joys-they're
nothing compared to what can be got
out of winter sports! Many a lovely
girl has been taken along under some
other girls wing, and found it the
most enjoyable winter she ever passed.
With the object of not letting the
girls get ahead of them in providing
good cheer, the matrons do their
shares in getting up oyster suppers
for church fairs. Of course the single
men find their way there, young and
old, which is a magnet for the clever
widows. By spring there won't be an
elderly bachelor or widower left for
miles around. For when a widow
will she will: you may depend ont.
If she won't she won't, so there's an

Winter, dear cid winter, brings joy
and solace to more than it's given
credit for so doing.

COUGHS up CARPET TACK
Kentucky Youth Is at Last Relieved of

Love that is too hot and strong,
Burneth soon to waste,
Still I would not have thee cold,
Nor too backward, nor too bold.
Love that lasteth till tits old,
Fadeth not in haste.
Everybody adores the saint-at
least they say they do. We couldn't
get along without the saints to offset
the pranks Of the sinners. Yet, many
a man says that taking saint to wife
has it's drawbacks as well as it's pleas
ures. The poet knew what he was
talking about when hessaid, "The best
sweetheart of all is she who is not too
good for common food" He meant
that of the girl who could enter into
the life of everyday folks with its joys.
sorrows, ambitions and disappoint-
ments.
When a man marries he wants
companion-a loving woman to sit
with him at the Preside, and to talk
over their mutual interests. Every
man wants pious helpmate, but If it
!, is the nature of a particular man to be
full of fun, loving company rather
than quiet, he would have to have the
patience of Socrates if the angelic
wife Of his bosom insisted that he
should go to the Bible class Monday
evening, praper meeting Tuesday eve
ming, Wednesday evening conference,
Thursday evening, Sunday school.
teachers meeting, Friday evening to
church revival-and only let out on
Saturday evening because there is
nothing going on.
4 Even the best of women can carry
their fervor for good too far. A hui
man being feels uncomfortable and in
ferior in the presence of saint. Ev.
cry woman should be just as good as
she can be, but she should take care
not to parade ito work in quiet, un-
obtrusive ways to better the lives of
those about her. One does not have
to dress in sackclOth and ashes to be
great, good, noble and true. Many
homes entertain an angel unawares.
The world is full of wives who make
no outward show of the great good
they accomplish. They know that
their husbands are doing the best they
can. 1t is their duty to devote certain
portions of their time to him, as well
as to their home folks. The babies at
home need attention quite as much as
do the heather abroad. Every man
will tell you that he has married one
of the best women in the world. No
woman can be too good. They are
happiest who strike happy medium,
letting their words and deeds proclaim
them for what they are. Angels can
be divided into classes, but those
whom we love most are those who
bring sunshine into our homes, who
love us unselishly, and whom we
adore and could not live without.
Patient wives are saints, the mothers
who save, work, denying themselves
for husband and children, are saints,
as are those who reform the fallen
and unfortunate.
