THE PARADE
Thin Clouds.

We have watched with keen inter- est the awakening of love in two young hearts in Carlisle. The girl is a pretty lass who still wears her hair in braid and the boy a sturdy lad with his geometry and Virgil under his arm. We have known both since they were babies. We have watched them on their way to school. They are fine, healthy youngsters, at that merry period of life which is like the radiant dawn of an April morning.
 But just at present the clouds ob- scure the blue sky of their youthful dream. They are mad" at each other.
 Were you ever mad" at the little iass who wore her hair in a braid and tossed her pretty head in disdain when she met you on her way to school?
 Then you can feel the sinking of the heart which makes the lad of whom we write so miserable.
 It all came about in a most natural way. 4 strange girl came to Carlisle for little visit. The boy met her and found she was nice. Not nearly so nice as the little blue-eyed lass with her hair in braid. But she was nice and he walked with her upon the vil- fage street. The little girl with the braided hair met them and the mis- chief was done. That is all.
 Not much to write about, you say?
 It is much to be sweethearts, and we are interested in them. The girl is proud and unhappy, because she is mad" at the boy. The lad is sorry and wretched because the girl won't speak to him now The little stranger has gone home and is busy with her own little heart futters.
 We ehope the storm may be but an April shower and the sun of gladness may shine for the youngsters again before they read this item. Anyway, we won't tell anybody else.
 Go Get'EM
 Two boys were quarreling in the shadow of the Carlisle church last Monday after school and we stopped for minute to get the language as still they talked in Boyville.
 'I'll knock your block off if you call me that again one of them said, nudging up to the other, and doubling his dirty little fist. 'No you won't" replied the other, shouldering the first boy toward the gutter, 'you ain't man enough" Well maybe I ain't,' sniff ed the first belligerent, edging away, but I'm just telling you that Pm dern fool enough to try it if you give me any more O your lip"
 Movie News
 Two ladies attended the picture show the other evening and had a most unpleasant experience. Two old men were sitting behind them and chewing tobacco assiduously. They emptied their mouths of the accumu- lated juice at such regular intervals that a veritable stream of the filthy spit soon was running beneath the la dies skirts. In a short time a pool of the nasty stuff had gathered about their feet and soaked their dresses.
 We can find no words to express our detestation of such men and are tempted to print their names so that other ladies may give them wide berth when they see them at the pie ture show.
 Blue Law Homes
 A few days after Christmas we had occasion to call at home in Carlisle where "Verboten" seemed to meet one at every turn. Noise of any sort was forbidden.
 Little Jim had new game, pres ent from old Saint Nick, and the play ing of which necessitated quite bit of noise, in order to get the full bene- fit.
 But it was, Jim, please be quiet; Daddy is taking nap," and "Doro- thy, walk with less noise.s Don't you know you are in the house 2" And ev- cry time one of the children made a elip they turned scaref faces toward
