SWAT THE FLY.

It's time for spring house cleaning
Gold lunch for hungry males)
And the hanging of the porch shades
On the same old rusty nails.
The blankets are now Numbered
And laid in the cedar chest,
md the flannels are now folded
Into camphorated rest.
The rusty swing is now in place
And the red bug lies in wait
Tor the lovers who at picnics
Will enjoy tete-tete.
The coal bill is reeeipted,
The ice bills looming high,
The mosquitoes bill is yet to come,
But we all can swat the fly!

A certain movement in his throat

his handshake.

without reflection.

Sabre, despite his private feelings

said so. Eyes, that's yyur way of
looking at is, sir, and-I don't say it

Mr.. Fortune inclined his head

looking at one another.

his desk and applied his lips to a

He knitted his brows: ut goes

A series of significant differences
II trivial events has convinced
MARK SABRE, well-educated En-
glishman, that after eight years
Of married life he is almost COM
pletely estranged from his pro-
sale and snobbish wife,
MABEL. He seeks refuge in the
company Of his eccentric neigh
bors, Mr.. Fargus AMI "The
Perches"-
YOUNG PERCH and his invalid
mother.
Suddenly an old friend returns
to his life. The friend is
MONA, an old sweetheart, now the
wife of the dashing
LORD TYBAR.
Sabre's inability to find sympathy
at home is duplicated in the office
Of Fortune, East and Sabre, where
he has charge of the publishing de-
partment. He dreams of writing q
history of England and has been
promised full partnership in the
firm. Suddenly his hipes are blast
ed when
TWYNING, jealous colleague
announces that he has been prom
ised the partnership by Fortune

Anything for me, Pirrip?" Sabre

Sabre took the letter and glanced
at the handwriting.

Her small, neat, masculine script
had once been as familiar to him as
his own. 1t was curiously like his
own. She had the same trick of
not linking all the letters in a word.

WHY HIGH SCHOOL GRADS
SHOULD ATTEND COLLEGE

News Notes.
1t has been estimated that the in
trinsic value Of young man or
a young woman weighing $50 pounds
is about SIS. There is about $500
worth Of fat; there is iron enough to
make few nails; enough magnesium
for sky rocket or two, enough
phosphorus for 2200 matches, enough
aIbumen for 100 eggs; spoonful Of
sugar and q pinch of salt. Human
beings are not worth very much by
weight.
But the high school graduates
training in high school is worth $500
a day to him while he is in school,
based upon his increased earning pow
er during the average life. Nine dol
lars day while going to school is
good wages. Still better, the young
man or woman who goes four more
years to college will be earning $55.55
a day during these four years, again
based upon the life time earning pow
er of the average college graduate,
as compared with the average earn
ing power Of the high school gradu-
ate.
In dollars and cents a college
education pays for the time spent in
preparation nearly six times, as well.
Sacrifices for college education is
but temporary; the reward is large
and permanent.

WOMAN DRIVERS OF AUTOS
MAKE GOOD CHAUFFEURS

Says An exchange:-The number Of
women driving automobiles now-a-
days may be counted by the score.
The female Of the species is even pro-
jecting into the land of truck and bus
drivers, and the hand that rocks the
cradle is proving steady at the wheel.
Women may also be found in auto
mobile schools learning all about the
ins and outs Of the auto-all about
the crank shaft, ignition, batteries
and other details. An interesting
fact in connection is brought out by a
recent summary compiled by an auto
mobile company. 1t shows that wom-
an drivers are much less often called
into court for disregarding traffic
laws and motor ordinances and figures
prove that lady chauffeurs meet with
far less accidents than do men.

their hair, their complexion and heav-
en- only knows what else, as the
general run Of newspapers and maga-
zine writer's do, but, nevertheless, it
won't hurt US any to ''see ourselves as
otllrs see Us" now and then.
Says Mr.. House: "Some time ago
l listened to speaker who took
occasion to criticize our girls upon
the way they "doll Themselves up.
He criticised their clothes and he
criticised their compilations. 1t may
be interesting to analyze O bit and see
who is ct fault.
Twenty-Five years ago the young
ladies Of our day put white powder on
their red noses, and il they did not
put on too much, 1t did improve their
appearance. Today our young ladies
do not put white powder ON red noses,
but they 60 them one better and put
RED powder on their white cheeks.
"Is there very much difference :?
Does the devil, himself, lurk in that
red powder and make the white pow-
der all right? You know he does
not.
"The only fault l can find with it
ct all is the poor job most Of the girls
do today in putting it on. When
zee girl walking down the street
with her face like porcelain plate
her cheeks flaming as though she
were in the last stages Of consump-
ton, and her lips dripping blood, /
cannot help but say to myself: my
goodness alive, young woman! Where
in the name Of sense are your brains
II you knew how you look to US men
and how much more handsome you
would be if you let natures coiors
predominate. you would never, never
daub yourself mp that way again
much has been said about the pres
ent day styles in dress and the state
ment is often made that the dress of
our girls is immodest and incites inn
morality. Whenever II hear that
statement, l feel sorry for the man or
woman who makes it, and l have
heard it made by both men and wom-
en-. Am wrong in thinking that the
man or woman who cannot see one of
our girls walk down the street in the
present day garb, without having bad
thoughts ought to be ashamed of
himself Am ] wrong in thinking
that the sin committed is the evil thot
in his own head rather than in the
style Of the dress7 Think It over"

In the little world of work-a-day.
The lips that smile and the hands that

The easier things. Not many such,
Easy or hard in the common way!
Ever so little means so much
In the little world of work-a-day.
Ever so little, but how il aids,
The kindly glance, the friendly word,
The fash of an eye and debt is paid; I;
A syllable utterd-a friendship

Or ever the syiIabic's scarcely heard.
Ever so little, but how il aids,
The kindly glance. the friendly word.
Ever so little. but they will last;
TIE least of the deed that your

Open your hearts door, freely cast
Windows wide on the starry vast
And Coils good face comes smiling

Ever so little, but they will last;
