BY RUTH CAMERON.

1.-The Lord loveth a cheerful giver."
One could well understand that He
would.
Emerson says, 'T would rather
rise from my chair than be served
| by one who does it not for love-"
| For myself, 1 would rather be re-
| fused any favor or service point
blank than be granted it grudg-
| ingly.
In the one case, one knows just
where one stands. One is under
| no obligation. In the other, one is
laid under an obligation and yet one
can feel no gratitude for grudging
service On the contrary, it leaves one
with an unsatisfied, resentful feeling
Once upon a time, my mother sent
me to borrow a scarf from neigh
Dor of ours. 1 was going to my first
party. Mother thought 1 needed
scarf and, as 1 had none, she sent me
| to borrow it of one of her friends My
| mother would have gladly loaned that
| friend the dress off her back and it
never occurred to her that she would
do less.
The friend had plenty of scarfs--
three, in fact She brought them out
and showed them to me and then told
me the reasons why she wasn't anx-
ious to loan them to me. After doing
that, however. she picked out the
least attractive of the three and told
me to take it, 1 tried to refuse it,
but she forced it upon me. 1 took
| it because 1 was young and awkward
and didn't know how to do otherwise,
but 1 didn't take it to the party. To-
| day, l have an ungovernable dislike
| for that woman.
| She Is a very estimable person. I
know 1 ought to like her, but 1 simply
can't. I am displeased with myself

matter, but still the unreasoning dis

partially to the time when she render

PASSING.

The Call has come! Broad marching lines
Fling themselves briskly on their way !;
Whate'er the storm in hearts and minds,
The will is one-Obey!

known

Who eager longed to hear that Call
And meet 1t with cheer?
In yon drab mass of molten forms,
Flooding the highway silently,
Somewhere he marches swiftly on,
Who is so dear to me,
Whose thrilling blood is blood of mine,
OF whose young face each line 10

Has passed-unrecognized

Tears shed in sadness dry in shame,

In every transient face / see,
Though my boy pass unseen, unknown
Through this he speaks to me.

TERRY TURTLE SPIES A KINGFTsHER.
BY CLARA INGRAM JUDSON

Terry Turtle flour dered out of the
water and pulled himself up onto the
bank of the creek. He mad had a
very exciting day and was quite tired
enough to stop and rest in the sun
for a while. First, he had had
narrow escape from old Mr.. Cater
when he had thrashed out of the
woods after his failure to find and
eat the fat pig he had 5pied. Next
he had lost three little fish, one after
another that he had hoped to catch.
and had had to content himself with
a dinner of the leaves of water
plants. OF course he liked water
plants, especially water lettuce, but
he hated to be disappointed, when
Yes it had been most disagree
able Cay.
He got himself out of the water and
uL onto the bank and then he blinked
his eyes lazily and prepared for nap.
Maybe you think that was pretty
careless of him to climb up there on
the bank where everybody could see
him and there take his nap. But it
wasn't nearly as careless as you might
think In the first place, Terrys back
was just the color of the mud on
which he lay, so it was only when the
sun shone sparklingly on his back that
anyone could notice him Then, too,
Terry always slept with one eye open,
as you would have found for yourself
had you tried to catch him, He could
get down from the bank and into the
water quicker than you could reach
out your hand and stop hiIn-a great
deal quicker! Dear me, yesi

up and down the river to be sure that
no danger was in sight-and spied Mr..

Gould family, must have another rich
and foolish heiress in sight. Else why
his persistency in petitioning the Holy
see to annul his marriage to the for
ner Anna Gould. and which appears
to be the only way through which he
may legally marry again within the
pale of the Roman Catholic church
The church has already denied several
petitions of this character from Boni
but this only seems to spur him on to
dig up new reasons why such petit
ton should be granted. 1t is evident
that what Boni needs most these days
is a substantial meal ticket and that
he has his eye on one.
