H G, WHEN LOVE WAS YOUTHFUL The Little Qlri With a PlKtall and Skinny Le|[a la Sweet Memory to Dayton Journal Man. Did you marry your first little sweetheart, she of ihe pinafore frock, and, perhaps, the barber- pole siockings? It is certain that at times she wore a cute liiile braided queue, though sometimes —when she was dressed up—her hair hung in curls down her slen der back. How ihe sun glinted in those curls, making them to shine with a splendor akin to that which lights the wing of drifting angels in the dreams of night! Do you remember where you stood when you first kissed her? Of course, you do, says a writer in the Dayton (O.) Journal. That is an incident which is graven in our memory forever and ever. You felt ihrilly and chilly and warm and were half scared to death. You saw God in her eyes and felt him in yuur soul. Wouldn't you give all you have, or ever ex pect to have in exchange for the innocence of your heart as it beat that day against the little throbbing heart in her tender breast ? But did you marry her? Some syndicate writer is asking the ques tion. and promises soon to tell us all about it, provided a lot of peo ple will first write letters telling her all about it. Perhaps you married this little woman of dreams, and perhaps you did not. The chances are that you did not. But you will remem ber the sweet ache that troubled your soul in the days when you were wooing her with a chivalry unknown to all who have passed beyond the heavenland of child hood. When you think of her now your soul yearns backward to that never-never land, and maybe the moisture of sweet sad tears fills your eye. Did ynu marry her? Did you? If you did, then, sometimes, when you take her hand, in the quiet of a summer evening, to gether you may read the palmiest of memory, joying as it is given to but few mortals to rejoice.

Got paches on his breeches but a sweet song in his heart; Freckles on his face and hair that will not part. Got marbles in his pocket and a spinning top to throw. And a little willow whistle that his red lips touch with glee. And when he comes forth at morning then we know, we know, we know. It's springtime in the country and the catkins on the tree. Got galusses of ticking and a checkered gingham shin. Molasses on his fingers and his cheeks dark brown with dirt; Got holes in both his stockin|s and his toes are peeping out. But his heart is full of music and he knows what it is about, As he blows the willow whistle and waves high his little hand— The courier of the blossoms when it's springtime in the land. A careless freedom fills him as he marches thru the light. Not panoplied in splendor like the ancient courtly knight; But the garm of Boy is on him and ii makes an armor fine. To match the eyes that twinkle and the rosy cheeks that shine; And we know that beauty's happened in the valley of the May, And it's springtime in the country when he whistles down the way. He'll fish and swim forever if you only let him be, He'll dwell in meads and marshes and beneath the fairy tree. He'll drift and dream in shallops of the sunny shores of time For his heart is full of summer and his soul is full of rhyme, And he's got the spirit in him that it helps the world to know It's springtime in the country when his whistle starts to blow. —Baltimore Sun.

Under the hickory tree, Ben Bolt, Which stood at the foot of the hill, Together we've lain in the noonday shade And hstened to Appleton's mill.

Grass grows on the mastci 's grave, Ben Bolt, The spring of the brook is dry. And of all the boys who were schoolmates then. There are only you and I. There is change in the things I loved, Ben Bolt, They have changed from the old to the new. But I feel in the deeps of my spirit the truth— There never was change in you.

Most of them had given promise of success; they had moved along about as I had, until they had reached an income of 000 or $5,000. There half of them had stopped; the other half seem to take a fresh grip on them selves and forge ahead even more rapidly. Why had the first stop ped ? It wasn't lack of ability. So far as 1 could see the i.ien in the two- groups didn't dift'er greatly in tal ents; nor was it lack of opportuni ty. It was nothing more nor less than this—the first group had be come satisfied; familiarity with their jobs had bred contentment, and contempt. They had settled down in suburbs, just as 1 had; they were happy with their chil dren ; their jobs were easy for them; they were at peace with the world; they had ceased to struggle, which nieans that they had ceased to grow.—American Magazine HER COMPLAINT.

Children Ory FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA When you repeat something which someone has told you, be careful to give it the same meaning as the one who itnpaned the in formation. Often the change of one word puts an entirely different meaning to a story, which leaves a wrong impression. If you had a cataract on one eye and you contemplated a simple op eration in time which would affect a cure, how would you like to hear that you had "gone blind?" Perhaps your father has moved his business to a distant city where there is an asylum for the insane. Under these circumstances how would you like to hear in a public place that your father had “gone crazy?” Yet this very thing hap pened, An incorrect intonation gave the im[5ressiun that the man had gone to the asylum and a stu pid friend misconstrued the state ment. Some people, too, like to add just a little sensational touch to whatever they repeat. They think it gives "pep." Satisfy your vanity in some oth er way than perverting the truth. —Pittsburg Dispatch. ENOUan SAID.

Why is it, it is often asked, that people* in small towns can find no better business than prying into other people’s bus iness, and then exaggerating the truth in regard to the same. People who pretend to be Chris tians, who attend church regu larly, who, in the sight of their neigbors are generous and char itable, yet who, without the slightest provocation, pick up some little mistake, or more often, at nothing, will so scan dalize one as to ruin his or her reputation for life. While they would not steal from them worldly goods, yet they rob him or her of what is more precious than gold—a good rep utation. Why can’t people practice the Christianity that they preach and “do unto oth ers as you would have them do unto youy" A salad always depends on the dressing, in which connection a woman is a bit like a salad.
