School Superintendent Learned
That He Was Not Alone In His
Devotions to Fair One.
The Superintendent of schools
in a small Indiana town recently
persuaded the school board to re
voke its ruling to employ only sin
gle women as teachers in the
school. At the first school at which
he called he tried to joke the young
teachers. "Now you'll all be get
ling married," he laughed. Have
any of you been getting 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
blushingl" answered, "Just three
others besides yours."
Amid the roars of the other teach
ers the young superintendent made
his exit from that building. But
never since that day has he men
tioned the new ruling, Indian

WHEN I BAR THE
"Once, in the days of long ago,
Days of my whole life the best,
When the time for sleep had come,
And the 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.

"Let the wind moan as it would,
Let the rain-drops patter fast,
They were near me, nestled warm,
From the midnight and the blast,
Not one lingering out of reach,
Not one banished far aloof
It's a woman's Heaven to have
All she loves beneath one roof.
"Now tonight the autumn 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 the 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 1 seem to bar them out
When at night I bar the door.
"But our Father surely needs
All His dear ones near Him still;
Are we not at home with Him,
In the house or on the hill?
So I 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 1 crept
Softly by, without a word;
Though the house is silent now,
Though they wish me no good-night
We are still beneath one roof
- When I bar the doors at night. "

THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
After The Honey Moon.
Gone are the good old days
when John and Mry went brave
,y ,o the 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 two hearts
that 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.
That 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 10 share each oth
er's burdens, and they did. They
expected hardships, and ihey had
them. They expected joy, and
they found it. They expected
success, and it came.
And with success came a look
ing back to ihe 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 soltaire. The
hut by the side of the 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 uniil bye and bye their
love dream becomes a painful trag
edy. In this complex age it would be
difficult to go back 10 the old ways
of simplicity and honest content.
But an emulation of the spirit of
simplicity that characterized Ihe
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

of a lady you ain't."
