Cull and atiRlu.'tion ttuaianteei O Announcement! The Little Oirl With a Pintail and Skinny Legs is Sweet Memory to Dayton Journal Man. heart; Did you marry your first little sweetheart, she of the pinafore frock, and, perhaps, the barber pole stockings? It is certain that at limes she wore a cute little braided queue, though sometimes when she was dressed up her hair hung in curls down her slen der hack, flow the 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 (0.) Journal. That is an incident which is graven in our memory forever and ever. You felt thrilly and chilly and warm and were half scared to death. You saw God in her eyes and felthiminyoursoul. 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 you marry her? Did you? If you drd, then, sometimes, when you lake her hand, in the quiet of a summer evening, to gether you may read the palmiest of memory, joyi;ig as it is given to hut few mortals to rejoice.

Ohildrun Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA FASHION FORBIDS. Got paches on his breeches but a sweet song in his 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 shirt, Molasses on his fingers and his cheeks dark brown with dirt; Got holes in both his stockings 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 tills 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 it 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 Pie sunny shores of lime 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.

In the old churchyard in the valley, Ben Bolt, In a corner obscure and alone, They have fitted a slab of the granite so gray, And sweet Alice lies under the stone. Under the hickory tree, Ben Bolt, Which stood at the foot of the hill, Together we've lain in the noonday shade And listened to Appleton's mill. The mill wheel has fallen to pieces, Ben Bolt, The rafters have tumbled in, And a quiet that crawls round the walls as you gae Has followed the olden din. Do you mind of the cabin of logs, Ben Bolt, At the edge of the pathless wood. And the button-ball tree and its motley limbs, Which nigh by the doorstep stood? The cabin to ruin has gone, Ben Bolt, The tree you would seek for in vain ; And where once the lords of the forest waved, Grows grass and the golden grain. And don't you remember the school, Ben Bolt, With the master so cruel and grim, And the shaded nook in the running brook, Where the children went to swim ? Grass grows on the master'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 1 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. Twelve months twenty have passed, Ben Bolt, Since first we were friends yet I hail Your presence a blessing, your friendship a truth, Ben Bolt of the salt-sea gale. him of a warm welcome there. His government will give him a uniform and send him to war I if he is lit physically, and if lie I is not, will find a place for him in the munition factories or j grain fields." In thofie words, Miss Hello 1 Kearney, of Mississippi, travel- ; or, lecturer and author, stated tier piatlorm ol Americanism j in her address on "The Light : on the Flag," at Hroad Street Methodist Church. Miss Kear ney spent several months in Eu rope since the outbreak of the war, and her address was com posed largely of a narrative of conditions in the countries in volved in the struggle. The ship which carried her home to America stopped on the trip to pick up four life-boats filled with survivors of a ves sel sunk by a German subma rine. Miss Kearney spoke at the invitation of the Woman's Prohibition League of America, "America is the hope of the world," said Miss Kearney.

DON'T TRIFLE WITH THE TRUTH. They Have Ceased To Orow. Running over the lives of the men I had known in business, I discovered this curious fact: Around 30 or 35 their careers be gan unmistakably to divide into two classes. Most of them had given promise of success; they had moved along about as 1 had, until they had reached an income of $4,000 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 I could see the men in the two groups didn't differ greatly in tal ents; nor was il lack of opportuni ty. It was nothing more nor less than this the first group had be come sausheu; lamiliarity witn their jobs had bred contentment, and contempt. They had settled down in suburbs, just as I 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 means that they had ceased to grow.

Children Ory FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA I Satisfy Vour Vanity in Some Oth er Way Than Perverting- the Truth. W When you repeat something winch someone has told you, be careful to give il the same meaning as the one who imparted 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 imrlresvion Mint inr msn had gone to the asylum and a stu pid friend misconstrued the state ment. Some people, too, like to add just little sensational touch to whatever they repeal. They think it gives "pep." Satisfy your vanity in some oth er way than perverting the truth. Pittsburg Dispatch. ENOUOH SAID. "Dad, will you let me have fifty plunks?" "Do you mean fifty dollars?" "Yes, if it's all the same to you." "Well, it's all the same to me. Yon can't have them." WHY IS IT? 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 neighors 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 you?"
