He had gray hair and his wife was a ttle blonde, bobbed-hair person who looked scarcely more than a child. Again and again they were taken for father and daughter. She let her hair grow and then she had it dyed gray. Her husband was horrified. Some- how his love seemed to have grown less. “IT always used to think it hurt him awfully when I .was taken for his daughter,” the Mttle woman told the Woman. “But it seems he loved feel- ing that this young thing was the woman who had fallen for him. I’m going to do all I can about having the dye bleached out. You see, I’ve bobbed my hair again—and as the new yellow hairs grow in his love seems to be coming back again. It’s so hard to tell," she ended. “I felt I was doing something so wonderful for him and {t almost broke his heart !"—New York Sun. GOT THE MESSAGE TWISTED Carelessness of Telegraph Operator Made a Mixup of a Somewhat Amusing Character. An inspector of railway property whose duties had taken him to Bridge port, Conn., discovered that the foun- dation under the local freighthouse needed repairs, Without delay he filed this dispatch to the New York office: “Foundation under freighihouse at Bridgeport unsafe—rush men ut once.” In sending the message the operator on the New York wire apparently did not space the letters properly In the word “foundation”. and also pressed too long to form the letter “t”; for this was the message received in New York: “Found a lion under frelghthouse at Bridgeport unsafe—rush men at once.” The inspector was astonished a few hours later to see a special work train come into the yard with a flat car containing a large animal cage and also ten men expecting to have an exciting time catching a lion that they supposed had escaped from some pass- Ing elreus.—Youth’s Companion. Reader Has One Guess. Uncle John was an ardent supporter of the local football club, As a re- spected follower of the team he had his own private niche. Aunt Martha, long puzzled at his regular absence from home on Saturday afternoons, decided to investigate. On the following Saturday Uncie John Gid act turn up im the stand . aione, Aunt Martha was with him. “John,” she asked, soon after the game started, “what are those eleven fools in white doing?” “They are trying to put that bit of leather between those two posts there, my dear,” he replied. There was a short silence, “And what are those eleven other fools in red doing?’ was her next question. “They. are trying to prevent the other fellows from putting the ball be- tween the posts, my dear,” Another silence, “And what are these other 20,000 fools doing?” was her next question, “They are all enjoying themselves except one, dear.’—London Answers, Mission House Made Memorial. The mission house at Kettering, Northamptonshire, England, where William Carey on October 2, 1792, founded the first missionary society which is recognized as the basis of the modern missionary enterprise, was put up for sale, the owner having died and the estate thus having become purchasable for the first time since that memorable occasion. The pur- chase was made on behalf of the Bap- tist Laymen’s Missionary Movement of England. The property will not only be retained for the denomination as a historic memorial, but will probably be used as a hostel for returned mission- aries, More Students Take to Classics. An increase in the study of the clas- sics this year has been announced by New York university. There were 100 students of Latin a year ago, as com- pared with 128 this fall. The number @ Greek students increased from 28 to 48. There has been an even more pronounced increase in the number of students of the romance languages, amounting to nearly 75 per cent in French, or from 434 in 1921 to 757 in 1922.

Are faithfulness, and love, and sweet grateful memories, no good?

HiS HEART REALLY IN GAM@ No Question That Veteran Ball Player Enjoyed Pastime Which Afforded Him His Living. ‘The successful professional baseball player is almost always high-strung, eager,. with nerves on edge; and, though it is necessary that he should be punished for losing nis temper in public, it should be remembered that he would not lose his temper at all if he were not so keen to win. He should therefore be fined and forgiven, The unpardonable sin is not to care; to look upon playing as most fallures re- gard their daily work; namely, as a disagreeable job that must be endured for the money and the leisure hours it brings, both of which can be spent ip pleasure. This is the highway to fall- ure in all undertakings; to believe that there is no pleasure in the work itself, but only in the time spent away from it. I remember years ago, writes Wil- liam Lyon Phelps in the Youth’s Com- panion, that a reporter interviewed a number of professional ball players, and asked them all this question: Do you enjoy playing? One after another answered in the negative. “How do you expect a man is golng to enjoy himself sweating under a_ broiling sun?” “Think what rotten treatment we get from spectators when we make an error!” “The whole thing is just one hard grind, with no fun in it!” Then the reporter reached old Me- Guire, a seasoned veteran; he said, “Like it? I love it! I love everything about it. I love the morning practice, I love going out to the game with the other boys in the bus. I love the warming-up. I love the game itself, and I love to talk it over in the eve- ning.” I admired McGuire after read- ing that. Necessary Garden Equipment, The wisdom of Socrates, the strength of Hercules, the endurance of Atlas, the conquering power of Napoleon, the versatility of Leonardo da Vinci, the patience of Job, the optimism of Poliy- ana—and the courage in the autumn to say, “Well, never mind, next year it will be a garden.”"—From Life. Concerning Piants, Plants with sweet-smelling flowers are more common in dry than in moist climates. Thyme, sage, and lavender, for instance, bloom profusely on dry uplands and fill the air with their scent, but the wild flowers of low or swampy ground are seldom highly scented, and if they are their odors are unpleasant.
