Sweet Evenings Come and Go.

SWEEP DWELLINGS OOAnC GAu I'VE
Sweet evenings come and go, love !;
They came and went Of yore;
This evening of our life, love,
Shall come and go no more.
When we have passed away, love,
All things will keep their name
Yet no life on this earth, love,
With hours will be the same.
The daisies will be there, love,
The stars in heaven will shine;
| shall not feel thy wish,
Nor thou my hand in thine.
A better time will come, love,
And better souls be born;
| would not be the best, love,
To leave thee now forlorn,
George Eliot.

Kaiser Bill went up the hill
To take a look at France;

With bullets in his pants"

Q.-Kindly tell me how to
preserve eggs in water-glass
for winter use? U.W.
A.-Watcr-glass comes in two
forms, sirup-like liquod and
powder. Use one part of the LIQUID
to 10 parts of water. Pack clean
eggs in clean kegs or crooks and
cover them with the solution.
Q.-Please tell me how to

people about 20 years old.

BETTY.
A.-Why not give a "peace
party?' Ask the guests to come
in the costumes of the different
nations. As they enter distribute
little white flags of truce upon
which are written the names of
partners for the evening.
Have French room, an Italian
room, Japanese, etc. Serve punch
in the Russian room, and for re-
freshments use different national
dishes. Sing songs Of all nations
and dance the different national
dances. This idea can be elabor-
ated with any amount of detail by
a clever hostess.

PRETTY GOOD KIND OF MAN
Deacon opdyke's Action Showed He
Was Only Properly Appreciated
by His Neighbors.

"Well, he Is this kind of a man."
said the livery stable keeper, when I
asked him about his townsman, Dea-
son Opdyke: Last year the deacon
had some extra work to do on his
farm on the upper road, and I hired
out my old Bill to him. At the end Of
a month the horse came back In good
condition, the deacon paid the price,
and everyone concerned was satisfied,
including Old Bill, I guess. Along
about Thanksgiving time the deacon
dropped in here and inquired about
the horse. Seemed real pleased when
I told him Bill was spryer than usual
after his summers work. Asked to
see him, but the horse was out on
a job. Quite member Of society, that
horse is he said, and went away after
inquiring how many horses I had in
the stable, boarders and all.
Thanksgiving morning there wasn't
much doing here after the regular
chores were done, and we all sat
around the office stove, when the dea-
cons hired man drove up and unload
ed gunny sack full Of something. I
remember thinking he had borrowed
that kind Of satisfied smile Of the
deacon's, as he said I would find
note inside the bag. I did; and this
was about what it said:
"'You will find enough carrots here
to give every horse in the stable
good dessert after the regular feed
today. Be sure and have them cut
fine enough so they won't choke, and
tell the horses that Old Bill is stand
ing treat
"That's the kind Of a man I've found
Deacon Opdyke to be-" said the livery
man, with what I thought was con-
siderable conviction.-Youth's Com
