very grand way!"
'Thank You for the compliment"
said Miss Fuzzy White. "Would you
like to meet my cousinsf They're not
quite as soclable as we are--not be-
cause they don't want to be-but be-
cause they're strangers TO the barn
yard. They've only been short time
with us, and It takes little while for
them TO know the rest.
"Of course as they are our cousins,
we know them better than any OF the
other creature

Hen longingly. 81 have always been

rather badly for her speech|about the

words beautiful md plain.
Mrs. Hen looked very joyful. WELL"
said Miss Fuzzy White, 81 think 1t
would be good plan to give tea"
Mrs. Hen could hardly keep still
she was so happy. She stood on one
foot and then on the other. and finally
as she felt about the same on either
one, she decided to stand on both.
During this time Miss Fuzzy White
was thinking.
Eyes, ] have 1t now" she said. "Will
you and your family have tea with us
this afternoon at lralf-after-four-
o'clock? Wen have delicious worms
and seeds, and you'll meet our cous-
ms"
And that very afternoon a fash
ionable tea was given in the barnyard.

The Beauty Of Truth.

Only that which has character is
beautiful.
Character is the essential truth Of
any. natural object, whether ugly or
beautiful; it is even what one might
call double truth, for it is the inner
truth translated by the outer truth; 1T
is the soul, the feelings, the idea, ex-'
pressed by the features of face, by
the gestures, and actions Of human
being, by the tones Of a sky, by the
line of q horizon.
Now, to the great artist, everything
in nature has character; for the un-
swerving directions of his observation
searches out the hidden meaning Of
all things.
There is nothing ugly in art except
that which offers no outer or inner
uufh-NUdIff.

comparatively new man in Scotland
and it is therefore but just to him to
state that he did not aspire to the
office, but at the solicitation of his
friends who knew of his successful
experience as mayor for six years in

consented to serve if elected. For
alderman in the first ward there will
be three candidates, Emanuel Herman
to succeed himself for two years and
David Nellis and Frank Zolnowsky,
candidates for ne year to fill vacan-

The supreme tragedies of war are not enacted
on the battlefield, but in the home.
Above the shouts of command and encourage
ment, the roar and shock Of the great guns,
and all the swelling tumult Of battle which
bear the husband and father to hero's grave
and a martyrs glory, there rise the weeping Of
the bereaved wife and the cries of little children
deprived of a fathers love and care.
American fathers are now on the battlefronts
of France. Many must fall; how many de-
ponds upon us who remain safely at home.
