His Letter Home.

A minister home from the trenches has been recOunting his experiences among the Scottish regiments, and among other interesting stories he tells of wounded Jock whom he found rather depressed. and on being asked whether he would like to dictate a let ter home, he assented. There upon the minir-er brought table with writ ing materials to his bedside However, he found Jock tongue-tied and unable to begin. so much so that the parson said after while:
 Come along now, I'm in hurry. We must make start"
 What will I say?"
 No reply.
 Will I begin: My dear wife?"
 "Ay," said Jock; "pit that doom. That'll amuse her."

Save the Holidays.

The talkntive barber, at whom so much ridicule is directed, is by no means always devoid of real informa- tion and philosophy. A traveller of that sex which must daily choose be- tween safety razor and ready tongue entered barber shop in a county seat in the Ozarks.
 The barber, placid, unhurried fel- low of fifty. who had done the shaw ing and haircutting for the town for 30 years. was already occupied.
 'Is this the only shop in town?'' asked the stranger. who was accus- toned to being in a hurry when he had nothing to do.
 Yes"
 And you are the only barber?'
 .Yes." The barber stopped to strop his razor, and looked casually at the stranger to see why he was in such q rush.
 Don't you have any help on Sarur- day?" The day was Saturday.
 "When school is out my boy helps me" replied the elderly barber.
 .School? You don't have school on Saturday2'
 The barber nodded. Again he

Why Ships Float.

Steel ships differ from those of wood in that their hulls are made of steel plates riveted together, instead of the old method of using wooden planking. They are enabled to float because, be- ing hollow. they have what is called buoyancy. A steel ship displaces vol tune of water equal. in weight to it's own. The principle of buoyancy may be tested by floating an iron pail in q bathtub full of water.

 The mountain laurel is not found in other lands. It is hardy. perma- nent. beautiful and widespread in it's distribution. The great artist. Henry Turner Bailey, finds in it all the sym bOlism necessary to make it UDcle Sam's flower

 "No-no, you can't turn on your side! You must keep that ice in place. That towels wet-where will find the clean towels?"
 Tn the hall closet-the third shelf from the bottom" murmured Helen with growing antagonism for this nurses assertive personality.
 'Oh. cat How 1t frightened me? Oh, no, you can't have her on the bed eats are most insanitary." And with firm authority, unheeding Helen's pro- test, she drove Pussy Purr-Mew from the room.
 It was trivial thing, but it con. Her drug-distorted thoughts were in- famed with animosity. There was also a childish desire to have her own way. to be humored and indulged, desire always paramount when she was i'll.
 With tremulous relief she welcomed the slammng door and Warren's quick step in the hall.
 "More pain?" Giving the packages to the nurse, he stopped over her.
 Helen shook her head. Then as Miss Saunders disappeared into the bath room she whispered a quivering:
 "Oh. I don't like her! I can't bear her! if must have a nurse-I don't want her."
 "Now none of that" with a note of sternness. You mustn't get any of your foolish prejudices."
 'I can't help it-she antagonized me the moment she came into the room" and with sick. childish resentment Helen sobbed out the incident of the shades.
 'That's easy" Warren rose. pulled down the shades and turned on the light by the bed. "Better?" Then as the nurse came in. Mrs. Curtis prefers the shades down."
 Miss Saunders, bending over, adjust ed the ice bags without comment, but Helen saw the obstinate set of her mouth. When she again left the room, Warren, pushing up the lace sleeve of Helen's gown. rubbed her soft white inner arm with an anxious:
 Now, Kitten, you're not going to be sdfficult, are you? Your jobs to lie quiet and get well. Never mind about the nurse. You don't have to like her but don't give way to any foolish prejudices. That'll make it hard for everybody"
 "Oh. you know I don't want to make 1t hard-but I can't help-'
 "Yes. you can," as he stopped to kiss her. Now don't talk-doctor wants you to sleep. That pillow too high?"
 To be looked after and waited on by Warren was sensation deliciously new. The very warmth and security of his hand on her arm held magnetic soothing. Her attitude toward the nurse seemed suddenly small and childish.
 "Oh, dear, I'll not even think of the nurse"
 That's the stuff" as he smoothed her hair. You're not to worry about anything. Just remember-rm right here on the job.''

 "Oh, will I need nurse?" Helen caught their murmured comments.
 Doctor thinks we'd better have one for few days" soothed Warren.
 "It's not appendicitis?' excitedly. q won't have an operation?"
 That's what we want to avoid" pa- l cified the doctor. "Now don't talk. I want you to try to sleep"
 A nurse-a trained nurse Helen's drugged thoughts were groping with the difficulties and expense Would there be enough clean linen? All nurses were wastefully extravagant with tow els and bedclothes.
 They would have to send foi. Mrs. O'Grady-Dora could not do all the washing. Where would the nurse sleep? Oh, they were not fixed for a nurse or for sickness.
 Aroused from her broodings, she stared up at Warren with an anxious 'Has the doctor gone?"
 "No, he's 'phoned for a nurse-he's waiting till she ccmes."
 Yielding to the languor Of the drug Helen lapsed into q drowsy stupor on- ly to be startled by another ring alarmingly loud in the early stiffness
 Warren stayed beside her; 1t was the doctor who answered the door, Again that low-voiced murmuring in the hall
 Miss Saundersll be with you in a moment" the doctor returned to the bedside.
 Had the nurse gone into her dress ing room? Was it much disordered? |? Helen tried to remember what she had | left lying about. A rustic of skirts and the white sarbed nurse appeared. One apprais- ing glance and with swift intuition Helen knew she would not like her.
 She was about thirty, tall. dark. with strongly assertive air. Glancing down at Helen with patronizing smile. she gave her entire attention to the doctor

 "Is it appendicitis?" Helen clung to his hand with feverish intensity. twill there have to be an operation? Oh tell me what he said '"
 "He thinks you'll be all right-if you keep perfectly quiet. Now Pm going out for those prescriptions" glancing at his watch.
 "Oh, must you go?" clinging to him. Cant you sena messenger"
 No, we want some other things-a couple of Ice bags and absorbent cot ton. I won't be long-the nurse is right here.'
 With an unreasoning depression. Helen heard the door close after him.
 "The first thing we'll have some air in here" announced the nurse with dis concerting briskness, as she threw up the shades and opened both the win dows.
 "Oh, leave the shades down." pro- | tested Helen weakly. "They can see right in."

 With Tapping, heelless slippers, Warren shuffied into the bathroom, re- appearing with the unwiped, air-puffed bag, which Helen, too sick to be criti- cal, huddled against her.
