' Whai lovelv lilies!" exclaimed

"Yes, they are raiher nice," he

"May I? You are very kind,"
she said, as she reached oui and
selected a medium sized flower
from the bunch.
"How modest you are; I do be-

"You are generous indeed, "she
said. "You have given me the
best among die lot.
"Well, ii is a pleasure to give,
and still more of a pleasure when
we give our best," he replied.
Is not lliis sentiment worthy of
thought? It may not always be
easy id give our best. Selfishness
says "Keep ihe besi for yourself
and give me what is less valuable
lo your companion or Iriend."
Bui the greatest happiness to
ourselves and others, and the high

when we give the best we have

Say,
NEED A LOTOF LOVING,
Folks need a lot of loving in the morning;
The day is all before, with cares beset
The cares we know, and they that give not warning;
For love is God's own antidote tor fret,
Folks need a heap of loving at the noontime
In the battle lull, the moment snatched from strife
Halfway between the waking and the croontime,
While bickering and worriment are rife.
Folks hunger so for loving at the nighttime,
When wearily they lake them home io rest
At slumber song and turning out the light time
Of all ihe times for loving that's the best!
Folks want a lot of loving every minute -
The sympathy of others and their smile!
Till life's end, from the moment ihey begin it,
Folks need a lot of loving all the while.

WOULDN'T PAY FOR IT
One of Australia's best land
scape painters was out with his
bag of iricks, near Daylesford re
cently. He had pitched in front
of an old-two roomed, wattle-and-
dab hut, softened with a crimson-
flowered creeper, w'hich he thought
would make an excellent sketch. :
While he was working a tall, hairy i
man came out of the hut regarded ,
him with some misgiving.
The hut dweller approached.
Watcher doin', tnisier?" he;
aiked. !
"I'm painting your picturesque j
dwelling," said Patterson. '
The hut-dweller regarded Pat-
lerson dubiously for a minute, then ,
went indoors. Presently he re
appeared wuh his wile, and me ;
two advanced toward the artist, j
"Mind yeh," said ihe man, point-1
ingatthe painter, "I've got me
witness you're doing this ai your
own expense."

learned io pass such things by.

Making sure that one is getting "in

matter for those who place insurance
on life or properly, or whatever other
asset Is sought to be Insured. And ll
Is very proper to have an eye lo the
stability of companies and their relia
bility in the maiuir of payment of tliei
losses whenever Ihey occur. For a
company or agent to set forth evi
dences of stability and reliability Is
no Idle boast, and gives informatnn
