School Superintendent Learned
That He Was Not Alone In His
Devotions to Fair One.
The Superintendent of schools
in it small Indiana town recently
persuaded the school board to re
voke iis ruling to employ only sin
gle women as teachers in the
school. Ai the first school at which
he culled he tried to joke the young
teachers. "Now you'll all be get
ting married," he laughed. Have
any ol you been gelling any pro
posals since the ruiling was passed?
Accidentally his eyes happened
to meet those of the young teacher
in whom every one knew he was
interested. She thought the ques
tion was addressed to her and
blushingly answered, "Just three
others besides yours."
Amid the roars of the other teach
ers ihe young superintendent made
his exit from that building. But
never since that day has he men
tioned ihe new ruling. Indian

WHEN I BAR THE DOORS AT NIGHT.
"Once, in the days of long ago,
Days of my whole life ihe best,
When the lime for sleep had come,
And ihe house was hushed to rest,
It was such a happy thought,
Used to make my heart so light,
We were all beneath one roof
When I barred the doors ai night,
t
"Let the wind moan as it would,
Lei the rain-drops palter fast,
They were near me, nestled warm,
From ihe midnight and the blast,
Not one lingering out of reach,
Noi one banished far aloof
It's a woman's Heaven to have
All she loves beneath one roof.
"Now lonighi ihe auiumn wind
Through the keyhole whistles shrill;
It must roar amongst the firs
In that graveyard on the hill.
Dying leaves are whirled aloft,
Swaying branches knock ihe pane,
In the pauses of the wind
Listen! Oh, the rain, the rain!
"Now, when bed-time comes at length
To me, sitting here alone,
And the ticking of the clock
Tells how still the house has grown,
Oh, how heavy is the heart
That was once so light of yore;
Now I seem to bar them out
When at night 1 bar the door.
"Bui our Father surely needs
All His dear ones near Him still ;
Are we not at home with Him,
In the house or on ihe hill?
So 1 fill my empty heart
With the thought that far above,
Over them as over me,
Spreads one roof of Heavenly Love.
"So 1 can go up to bed,
Pass the door where once I heard
Gentle breathing, as I crept
Softly by, without a word;
Though the house is silent now,
Though they wish me no good-nighi
We are still beneath one roof
When I bar ihe doors at night."

THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
After The Honey Moon.
Gone are the good old days
when John and M.ry went brave
,y,o.he altar and plighted their
troth in the .face of the fact that
their sole capital consisted of a few
silver dollars, two strong bodies,
four willing, hands and iwo hearts
thai beat as one.
In the little hut by the side of
the road were a rude table, two
chairs, a stove, a bed and a few
stone china dishes.
Thai was all, except the abound
ing joy of their young hearts,
which made the hut a palace and
John and Mary king and queen of
their sacred domain.
They expect to share each oth
er's burdens, and they did. They
expected hardships, and they had
them. They expected joy, and
ihey found ii. They expected
success, and it came.
And with success came a look
ing back to the old days of mutual
toil and sacrifice as the happiest
days of their lives.
Now all this is changed. John
must have a car and Mary must
wear a 13 8 carat soliaire. The
hul by the side of (he road must
be a modern bungalow with rugs,
china and up-to-date period furni
ture. Then, too, the strain of keeping
up with the procession often robs
life of its simple joys. Mary's de
mands irritate John. John's ina
bility to meet them irritates Mary.
Clashes become more and more
frequent until bye and bye their
love dream becomes a painful trag
edy. In this complex age it would be
difficult to go back to the old ways
of simplicity and honest content.
Bui an emulation of the spirit of
simplicity that characterized the
old days would work wonders to
ward restoring life to a more nor
mal plane. Seattle Star.
OH. COME, COME.
There had been a quarrel over
the back yard fence.
"You're no lady I" screamed
one participant.
"Say," shrieked back the other;
"if it wasn't that 1 was a lady may
be I'd be able to tell you the kind
of a lady you ain't."

Auniy was pulling Amy to bed,

"Don'i forget to say your pray
