Make the Most of Pleasure.

Few young people make as much as they should of small pleasures. For many years the standards of enjoy ment have been undergoing change and there Is a tendency to think that we cannot have a good time that does sot cost money. A girls education Is far from complete till she has learned to enjoy herself simply and without any money expense.--Pennsylvauia Grit.

Sunday Battles in History

Some of the fiercest engagements Of
the present war have been fought on
Sunday, the so-called day of rest, for the
German seems to like that day for a
bombing raid on some defenseless
town, as well as for much bigger oper-
atoms at the front, possibly on ac-
count of the old adage about the bet
ter the day the better the deed.
The fiercest of the battles In the
Wars of the Roses was actually fought
on Palm Sunday, observes London An
swers. This was the Battle of Tow
ton in 1861, and ten years later the
Battle Of Barnet was fought on East
er Sunday. Ramillies was fought on
Whitsunday, 1706.
Both Bulls Run and Shiloh. in the
American Civil war, We're fought on
Sunday. II was on Sunday that Well
ington issued that famous order, sci
udad Rodrigo must be carried by as
sault this evening"
A glad Sunday for the British en-
plre was that cloud Sabbath" when
Wellington defeated Napoleon at Wa
terloo in the last attempt on the part
OF one man to dominate the world.

JOINED RANKS OF PROFITEERS
Indian Had the Stereotyped Reason for
Increasing His Price for Basket
of Berries.

An Indian in one of the western res
prvations was in the habit of bringing
10 Mrs. Gray each spring several bas-
kets of wild berries for which. from
time immemOrial, he had always
charged 80 cents basket. A few days
ago he paid his annual visit to Mrs.
Gray's back door. The maid took the
berries and rendered the usual pay
ment. The Indian shook his head.
Zone dollar basket now" he said.
The maid called her mistress and ex-
planned the difficulty. Much surprised
Mrs. Gray again offered the money to
the Indian, who once more refused to
accept it. "Why is this?" asked Mrs.
Gray. "The baskets are the same size
as usual, are they nOt?"
"Yes."
"And the berries are not scarce this
year, | know, because have seen
bushes loaded down with them on my
rides about the country here"
"Yes."
"Well. then, why isn't fifty cents a
basket enOugh?"
The Indian shifted from one foot to
another quite calmly. Hell big dam
war somewhere" he announced: "Ber.
ries one dollar a basket now"

PERKINS AT IMPORTANT POST
Made Him Realize Just What 1t
Might Mean to Him.


Major Jackson tells of the visit Of
one of the generals to the trenches
on the end of the British line.
The general, who was great stick
Ter for discipline, said to the last man
on the left:
''DO you know, sir, that you're the
most important soldier in the army?"
Private Perkins murmured some
modest rejoinder, but, as in duty
bound, kept his eye glued to the per-
iscope with his vista of No Mans
Land.
YES" resumed the general, you're
the last man in the last squad of the
last platoon of the last company of
the last battalion of the last regi-
ment of the last brigade"
After this impressive announcement
the general turned on his heel and de-
parted. Then the sergeant major. lest
Private Perkins should be pulled up
by the suddenly conferred Importance,
added:
'Yes, and If the army gets the COM
mand to form on the left you'll mark
time for the rest of your bloody nat
ural life!"
Any military man realizes what
1t would mean to he pivot man for a
line 125 miles long Toronto Mail
