T never speak the WOrO IdToWoA'
 But with an utterance faint anu
 broken;
 A heartsick yearning for the time
 When 1t should never more De x spoken"
 When a patient wife who has for years made cent possess the buying power of two suddenly hears that her hard-working husbands salary has unexpectedly been raised her first ex- clamation instead of being, "Oh, I'm so glad, so thankful" is "It's too good to be true"
 Why should anything that happens, at first to be too good to be true! It IS at first to be too good to be true? It usually the unexpected that happens The good fortune we persistently pur- sue generally eludes us and we grasp the thorns more often than the flower. When we hear of a wayward youth turning over a new leaf for loves sake and vowing he has sown all his wild oats, intending ever after to walk the straight and narrow path, instead of remarking that the young fellow al- ways had more good than bad in him, we are more apt to declare, and in all
 
 true.'
 When habitua1 drunkard staggers home after a weeks debauch and tells his family he met a Billy Sunday who induced him to sign a pledge that he would let liquor alone from that time on, his family chorus in breath that lit sounds too good to be true. They should give him the benefit of the doubt ere casting a suspicion on the truth of his declaration.
 People have even known to forget themselves so far as to exclaim, when they heard of the demise of dear old Aunt Mary or Uncle John and that a fortune had come to them in conse- Quence, "Oht surely that's too good to be true!" Whether they referred tp the fate of the deceased or were in a transport of joy over the thought of the fortune, they forget to explain. If Ia young father is told over the tele- phone that he now has an heir. a bouncing boy, his first delighted cry is "A boy, eh! That sounds almost too good to be true!'' Not much of a compliment to the baby girl who hap pens to accompany the boy, the mother thinks, but when he learns there's an added reason for rejoicing, and that there's a twin girl as well, his words, That sounds too good to be true,'' have a dubtful ring to them.
 There's nothing that happens to good deserving people or is about to happen too good to be true. We have a queer way of expressing our joy when we put a doubt upon it.

ABOUT THE WAR.

This cruel war in Europe now,
 How dreadful it must be, When rulers for supremacy,
 They fight on land and sea. In August Nineteen Fourteen, This cruel war began, What a dreadful havoc it has wrought Upon the life of man. Many gallant soldier,
 Has left his kindred dear, To answer to his countrys call,
 Without either dread or fear. But alas, those noble heroes,
 Will ne'r return more, They have died upon the battlefield As thousands did before. And when this war is over, f
 It matters not to those. For they have fallen victims,
 And are now in deaths repost. Think of their loving families,
 That now are left alone, They must labor for a livelihood,
 Where ever they may roam. Don't you think it is cruel shame, That all those lives are lost, For the ambitions of a few,
 They had to pay the cost. If they want this wicked war to end, It will end without a doubt, If they will put the rulers at the front And let them fight it out. If they had only done so when
 The war it first began. Think of all the lives and propertl Just reckon, if you can. hope Gods anger Is appeased,
 And that this cruel war will cease, May we forever in this world,
 Have everlasting peace. Those poor souls that Iwere called away God grant them peace and rest, May they forever enjoy his presence, In the company of the blessed.
