The music was playing, the
guests were laughing. The air
was filled with the scent of roses.
because 1t was July.
Suddenly the wife Of the young
heutenant left the room. In q
short while news was brought to
him that his wife had borne him
a daughter. Her aunt said:
"She will be fortunate. She
was born among the roses to
the sound Of music"
The prophecy came true. The
baby was Armantine Lucille
Aurore Dupin, George Sand"
the great French novelist, whose
name stands out clearly In the
history not only of French litera-
ture, but Of the literature Of the
world. Romance met George
Sand at her birth. It never left
her. It was the theme which
made here writings great. It was
the keynote to her life. Romance
was her history.
When this baby was three
years old she crossed the Pyre-
nees with her parents. She lived
in the military camp with the
soldiers. Soldiers were her nurses.
She was the child Of the regi-
ment. Dressed in a miniature
uniform, complete in every detail,
she was the delight of the gen.

An important part OF the fluro-

that sudden excitement-a love
palpitation, for instance - Will
cause the swallowed liquid to act
in an unusual manner.
Therefore, says the inventor
student, place the lady alleged to
be in love behind the Horoscope;
give her a swallow Of some con-

THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

= T is better to have second-class

u character.
The greatest asset in business
Is to have a good name.
Never turn your back on the
truth and always face q lie.
Life is half spent before we

It is easy to forget when we do
not wish to remember.
He who can bear prosperity

Necessity is a hard master,
but a good teacher.
Great noise and good sense
soon part company.
The only disadvantage Of an
honest heart is credulity.
Impatience dries the blood
sooner than age or sorrow.
If you say a man 10 migrate

It is not profitable to run afar

news tomorrow.
Some men are so covetous, as
