For the Sweet Course.

For the Sweet Course.
A dainty sweet makes a good finish
for a hearty meal when heavy des"
sert would be entirely out of place.
Often a mouthful or two OF some little
sweet is sufficiently satisfying, but 1t
omitted the meal seems unfinished.
Cream puffs made the size Of walnuts
and filled with any desired filling;
either sweetened and favored whipped
cream, ice cream or chocolate filling
are good. Stuffed dates, prunes and
figs are oil easy to prepare and usual
ly well liked.
Small balls of well-seasoned cottage
cheese; of cream cheese, garnished
with a cupful of Jelly or bright red
cherry, served with q cracker. will
make a pleasing dessert.

Cause Of Bowlegs.

Bowlegs in growing children are
caused by lack of milk. Walking at
too early an age or too often has
nothing to do with it. So declares a
Pennsylvania county sgriculturist- He
says that scientific investigations show
that all children should have milk, one
quart a day at least, from the time
they walk until they are full grown.

Three Kinds of Wolves.

We have three kinds of wolves and
they all travel in packs. There are
black wolves. the gray timber wolves,
and the great Siberian wolves of the
North. The latter come across the ice
from Siberia and hardly ever venture
very far south. They are not trapped
to any extent because the trappers
would have to 60 to such great DIS
tances to get them.

WHEN THINGS co WRONG.

Have YOU ever felt that all the world
despised you?
That every door was slammed right
in your face?
That from the lips OF women, men and
children
Not kind words come, but Kisses in
their place:
Has all the sky turned grim and dark
before you?
Has ev'ry tree been wind-blown to
the ground?
Have all the friends that used to just
adore you
Been cool and glad to turn their
backs around?
Has even God seemed fur away. un-
caring?
Eternity and evil that's not true"
Has all of life. seemed failure most
unbearing?
with you?
Then lie you down in some sweet
place Mt twilight.
And while around you fIick'ring
Dream that all is peaceful. all is
loving,
And each sorrow will be lost in
soothing sleep.
And when you have awakened. much
refreshed,
When smiles have chased each tricliI-
ing tear away,
Tho world will then seem just one ball
OF sunshine,
And all Will b. so friendly, true and
gay.
