Modern Missiles Not Char
acferized by FerDency.

In these degenerate days, when t,
be sentimental is to be silly, and whel
we boast that we do not wear oul
hearts ON our sleeves" the art Of
writing love letter worthy of the
name is In danger of being altogether
lost. says London Answers.
The letter of today is. with rare ex
ceptions mere business missive.'
with few of the hopes and fears. the
heart throbs, the splendid sentiments
and rare, sweet raptures'' that mod
ern lover feels just as much as his
predecessors did.
In former days 1t was a mans pride
and pleasure to pour out his very soul
on paper, in ardent homage to the lady
of his choice. On such of his letters
as survive. though their pages are vel
low and the ink faded, the words still
burn with the tenderness and passion
that inspired them.
Thus, In one Of the letters of John
Churchill. the great duke of MARI
borough. to Sarah Jennings. we read !:
II do love and adore you with all
my heart and soul--so much that
do and will ever be better pleased with
your happiness than my own. But.
oh, my souli-if we might both be
happy, what inexpressible joy that
would bel viii not dare to expect
more favors than you shall see fit to
give me; but, could you love me, /
think the happiness would be so great
that it would make me immortal"
Keats also was great lover He
wrote to Fanny Brawne: II never
knew before what such love as you
have made me feel was did not be-
lieye in it; my fancy was afraid of it,
lest 1t should burn me up. | would
never see anything but pleasure In
your eyes, love on your lips and happi-
ness in your steps.
my dear girl, / love you ever and
ever and without reserve. The more
have known the more have l loved.
Even my jealousies have been agonies
of love; In the hottest fit 1 have ever
had would have died for you. The last
of your kisses was ever the sweetest,
the last smile the brightest, the last
the gracefullest."
William Hazlitt's love letters, too,
have the authentic note. He wrote to
Sarah Walker: "When l think of the
thousand of enduring caresses that
have passed between us do not won
der at the strong attachment that
draws me to you. hear the wind sigh
through the lattice, and keep repeat
Ing over and over to myself two lines
Of Byron's tragedy:
So shalt thou find me ever at thy side.
Here and hereafter. If the last may be.
applying them to thee my love. and
thinking whether / shall ever see thee
again. Perhaps not--for some years
1T least, till both thou and ! are old
md then, when all else have forsaken
;hee will creep to thee and die in
.hy arms"
These are few extracts only from
he letters of long-dead lovers, whose
lelight 1t was to pour out their very
souls to the ladies whom they loved.
Who can doubt that they were read
Ind treasured with a joy which the
careless, cold-blooded letters of the
modern lover can never inspire?

Watch Survived Burial

Bis nearest neighbor has plowed up

the winding stem had become rusted.

had made no talking record. 1t was
in the nature of things an unknown
quantity. Its newness gave such a
touch Of interest that no one found
a place to tire of its talkings, think

sages, as it was thought this gathering
must be- It was by its novelty kept
from that staleness which comes from
a foreknowledge which Is at times
