Daily Talk
THE CRICKErs CHIRR.

The blanket of night has just been
folded about a tired earth. The wind
has died down. A soft, silent rain has
ceased. Only drippingsN from the roof
and from overburdened leaves are
heard as they fall to the ground below.
All seems so still without Only the
distant rumble Of passing trains
breaks the perfect peace of the night.
We have been writing and reading.
Everyone else in the house has long
ago felt the touch of slumber.
We lay our book on the little shelf
beside our reading chair. We push
our typewriter back. We listen. The
only answering voice in all this silence,
mystery and darkness is that of the
cricket in its-chirr, chirr, chirr, chirr,
chirr, chirr!
How very silent and lonely it would
be tonight without the call of these
little fellows of the night.
It's the cricket's way of telling how
happy it Isl
Something like the purr of the
house cat, or the wag of dogs tail,
or the knowing smile of a human be-
ing.
How full this world is. anyway, of
all sorts of evidence of happiness, con-
tentment and peace.
And there is no one so poor, or be-
reft< of sentiment but that he is able
to gather from some quarter at al
ihoSI any IIOiIlSHI Oh the Jay OF night,
some such kinship as the cricket's
chirr, the call of a bird, or the twinkle
of a star.
For we are all creatures of emotion.
Sentiment builds the best that we are,
deep within us.
The Infinite God understood the
creature of His handiwork when he
made you and me and put us here in
our setting.
We are much happier tonight be-
cause outside our window, as we fall
into fofgetfulness of the day and it's
problems, its ,rritations. and griefs, we
shall remember last the chirr- chirr-
chirr of the tiny singers of the wood.

= Recent statistics sent out by the
census authorities show that the farm
population of the United States is only

Dinner Stories

The conjurer was performing in
a room adjoining a gunpowder fac
tory. A sailor and his parrot were
enjoying the show. The conturer
changed half a crown into a penny.
Now that's a fine trick" said the
sailor, lighting his pipe. Il wonder
what he'll do next?' The sailor then
threw away his match.
A minute later there was no sailor,
no factory, no room, no village. On
steeple mile away the parrot,
with one feather remaining said,
Now that's a fine trick. l wonder
what he'll do next ?"-Tit Bits.
A prolonged wall and the sound
OF humping down from step to step
proclaimed disaster. At the foot of
the stairs the mother picked up her
precious four-year-old and asked how
it happened. zone foot stepped on
nothing" was his fearful reply-New

is the miners will have the old wage
rate for practically q whole year from
the close of the strike.
The operators, of course, have real
lied good prices on the coal stocks on
hand at the time of the strike, and
particularly in the bituminous fields,
they will now get prices such as never
would have obtained if there had been
no cessation of production. The min
erS will have work at full time, and
possibly at overtime. for the next year
at least, whereas otherwise they would
not have averaged more than three or
four days a week. Conditions in an
industry that was overmined and over
manned have been stabilized to GER
tain extent, and steps have been taken
looking to an investigation and re-
forms that may prove of far-reaching
benefit to all concerned.
In view of all this some observers
may conclude that it could not be said
with fairness that either the miners
or the operators won the strike. There
are SO many different angles to the
question that it is difficult to evaluate
the results and say that the balance
is on one side or the other.
One thing is certain, however. We
may not know who won the coal
strike, but we may be sure that the
public lost it. If the public does not
know this already. in view of empty
coal bins and mounting coal prices, it
will know it before the winter is over.

JUST FOLKS
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

BILL AND WENT FISHING.
Bill and I went fishing. Quit our beds at
four,
Got hasty breakfast and softly closed
the door,
Packed the bait and tackle, pushed the
boat away
Took the oars and started--without word
to say.
Lake was smooth as crystal, sun was
breaking thru
With "a blaze of glory-old, but always
Bill and I both watched it. grateful for
speliboundf by the beauty-but not a word
to say
Threw the anchor over started in to fish.
Heard the reels a-clocking, heard the wet
lines swish,
Now and then we'd get one big enough to
Sport and plenty of it-but not word to
say.
Bill was busy dreaming, was thinking,
too,
Lazy-nk and wondering what makes skies
so blue;
Puffed our pipes in silence, let our minds
just stray
Round and round about us-but not a
word to say.
Got back home that evening. happy as
could be,
was proud of William, he was proud of
me,
Just the pal for fishing. Here's the COM
mon touch
Said it Of each other-"Never talks too
much"

| = The Ideal Lie Partner-1. 1.
| A-man asked me to give him my
| idea Of the ideal husband and the
ideaf wife. ~
OF course, there amt no SIGH ami
mall as the countryman observed
when he first set eyes on a rhinoceros.
Moreover, if there were such a -crea-
ture as a perfect husband or a perfect
wife he or she would be uncomfortable
! to his or her poor, weak, faulty
| spouse, and the divorce docket would
| be swelled by one more couple seek
| ing to have their matrimonial bonds
severed because of incompatibility of
| temper. For TO people are so hard to
stand as the overly good. Better a
million times choose a cheerful sinner
| for a life partner than that unendura-
BILE affliction-a person who is always
| right.
| Still, in our disgruntled hours, it is
pleasant to daily with the dream of
| the ideal husband or wife, and to
! imagine what life might have been il
| only we had gotten the mates to which
we were entitled.
L think that the ideal husband and
wife~are cut off of the same bolt of
cloth, and that they are much alike.
There is no sex in the connubial >Vir-
tues, and the se1fsame qualities that
make a man desirable husband
| make a woman a desirable wife, and,
| paradoxically enough, the qualities
that make a man and woman shining
| examples in the outside world do not
make them shining examples in the
shut-in world of home.
Some of the most successful men
are utter failures as husbands and
fathers. Some of our best citizens are
the meanest husbands and fathers.
There are angel women who are devils
at home, and philanthropic ladies who
lei daU lySy =.
ticoats for the heather while their own
children's stockings need darning.
All of us know men who are honest,
and truthful, and moral, and sober,
but who are so tyrannica1 and cross
that their wives and children live in
women who are pillars of the church,
and who spend~hours on their knees
praying for guidance. and who then
get up and nag their families to death,
and who are SO narrow and bigoted,
and have 30 little human sympathy
that they ALLEVIATE their husband and
children from them.
What, then. are the qualities that
the ideal husband and wife have?
First. efficiency. We. must be COM
Portable physically before we can in
dulge in any other finer emotions
The pangs of hunger take precedence
over the pangs of love. A serene and
calm outlook on life is incompatible
to one suffering from acute dyspepsia
Therefore. the ideal husband must be
p man who is capable of making a
comfortable living for his family, and
the ideal wife must be a woman who
knows how to run home thriftily
and economically, and without fric-
ton.
The happy home has no bill collec-
tor camping on the door step, nor does
it set forth a dinner of overdone meat
and underdone vegetables or eat out
Of paper bags, and have to hold its
clothes together with safety pins.
