Have you stayed at home all after

who had said: 81 am coming over this
afternoon" then she did not come?
Has some one promised to do some
thing for you, then didn't do it?
It has happened to me more than
once or dozen times. writes Helen r.

my feelings. When you go to the win
dow about forty times to see if they"
are coming, or when you have planned
to have a roast for supper and you
have asked some one to get it for you,
and they did not, how do you feel?
Take a lessen from your feelings
and when you said you were going to
do something, do it. If you are not
positive that you can do something
don't promise. One of the most disap-
pointing things in life is when some
one does not come, when he had said
he would, or when some one promises
to do something and does not. This
life is full enough of other sorrows
without doing something like that.

The Pilots Heart.

1.-THE romance of the air" writes an
aviator of some experience, "is diff
ferent thing from mascots and super
stitions. 1t is not bound up in the
machines. 1t is something deep down
in it's own grim and callOus self. Those
who know it best acknowledge it least.
And the pilots themselves-do they
speak of "lucky" or an "unlucky"
pilot? Never. They speak only of
good" pilot or bad one. The only
time a man is told he is lucky is when
he has failed to break his neck despite
bad plotting. Flying is cruel mis-
tress. Only pilot knows what she
does to a pilots heart. Where are the
young pilots? At the airdromes learn
ing to fly. They are nowhere. else.
But bound up in the romance there is
a pride that only pilot can know. It
is the pride of the self-dependent."

Poet and Blacksmith.

The professor came TO be a neigh
Dor of the blacksmith in the year
1887. AS he walked daily past the
smithy and the simple comfortable
home of the blacksmith, he came to
watch and know the kindly man. 1t
was not long before they became good
friends. The blacksmith was proud
of his home, and doubtless told the
professor how happy he was when, in
1925, he had made his first arrange
ments to buy it from a man named
Torrey Hancock. And perhaps some
times they talked about the wonderful
spring that was famous for its clear
and sparkling waters, for this was
right at hand. Below the spot where
the spring gushed forth, the women
of the town still did their washing.
The name of the street where lived
the blacksmith and the professor is
the same today as in their time. If
you visit the great city of Cambridge,
you will easily find your way to Brat
tie street. and the homes of '"The VII
lage Blacksmith" by name Dexter
Pratt, and of the professor and poet,
Henry W. ngfellow.-Vlyn Johnson,

Banana a Bread Fruit.

The orange, apple and banana can
not be compared for the reason that
they represent three extreme types.
The orange contains no starch and the
banana is nearly all starch. The apple
stands midway between the two. One
can make a meal of ripe bananas, but
ripe oranges would, by themselves,
hardly suffice. The orange is a re-
freshing food, the banana a nourish-
ing food. The orange and the apple
should be consumed with other food,
and whereas one might eat half a loaf
of bread and half a dozen apples. he
would be very foolish to eat half a
loaf of bread and half dozen ban
anas. The banana is really bread
fruit. -

Good Entertainment

On Christmas Eve.

Many friends and members of the
Christian church of Kimberly were
afforded the pleasure of enjoying a
beautiful program, given by the bible
school department of that church on
Christmas eve of this week 1t was
not conducted along the usual lines
OF Christmas entertainments, for those
who came to give, and not to receive.
Even the children of the bible school
who heretofore have been accustom-
ed to receive some little present from
the usual tree erected for that pur-
pose. gave up the idea of receiving
upon this occasion that the little boys
and girls of Armenia and Syria might
have food.
The program consisted of tableauX.
songs, recitatiOns, readings, and short
play. 1t was brief program, only
lasting an hour. Everything was ar
ranged in such a manner that little
time was consumed between numbers.
There was large crowd present.
The offering for Armenia and Syria
was conducted along an unusual line.
An admission (not compulsory was
charged of ten cents for adults and
five cents for children Many gave
much more. The total Offering thus
received amounted to nineteen dollars
and seventy-one cents, every cent of
which will go to Armenian and. Syr-

Hardwood Floors parkened.

Floors that turn dark from Oiling
generally need to be scraped. Some
times paint or varnish remover,
bought at paint shop, is used first.
One housekeeper improved a dis
colored floor by scrubbing it hard, US
ing naphtha soap and adding washing
soda to the water. She did only a
lsmall piece at time, using one of the
small wooden-backed nail-brushes with
very hard bristles. Cracks can be
filled with a mixture of sawdust and
glue. This can be darkened with a
little burnt umber to match the floor.
In mixing use water 20 parts, glue one
part and sawdust as necessary. An
other filler is a pulp made from news
papers torn up and pounded into a
flour and water paste. 1t hardens in
the cracks.

The central thought around which
