I was called down to a southern Minnesota lake by the sickness of an aunt, and while (here got wind of the local sports making preparations for the opening of the bass season. “Next morning was an ideal day and I was there—bright and early. As 1 was shoving ofT in my skiff I observed a tall, rawboned fellow' protrude from a bunch of bushes a hundred steps up the beach and take a squint at me. “i very naturally concluded that this was a warden, and I had no doubt that “Not a Bay Nor a Cove Was in Sight." under the influence of that magnifier of his I looked about twice the size of a horse and twice as natural. But I pulled out into the lake and looked around in search of a bay or a cove that might shelter me from that mer ciless telescope. Not a bay nor a cove was in sight. ‘‘Well, I tossed in my hook and was just looking around into the business end of that telescope when—whish! something grabbed It and struck out toward deep water in a thrilling man ner. I tended to business for the next few minutes and I had my work cut out too, for the fellow on my hook was a thoroughbred. ‘‘As I was getting my breath back I caught the reflection of that infernal telescope and the cold sweat began to ooze out of my scalp and percolate towards my collar. I realized at once that the fellow had me focused right down to a gnat’s feathers and—well, ; I hate to te)> what I did but might as well confess. It was cowardly, per haps. but I couldn't get away from that telescope, you see. I adjusted my pocket scale and weighed my fish. He was a dandy—just an even five pounds. Then I picked the old fel low up by the tail, held him ostenta tiously aloft and heaved him back in to his native element. Then—I cussed a little under my breath and looked as pleased as possible—for the tele scope was still dead-centered on me all the time. “I was getting rather lonesome when, as I was passing the identical spot where I landed my big bass, I got another strike. It was a glorious scrap, gents, and for a minute I thought my tackle was a goner but in about ten minutes 1 wearied the boy and pulled him in. 1 weighed him— five pounds and half an ounce. “Well, back he went and I put on my third frog. All quiet for 20 min utes and then I rowed back that way again. Kerswish! Away shot my line and I made a mental resolve to anchor right there for the rest of the sea son. “But I noticed one strange thing about those bass—the larger they got the less gamey they were. I landed An Experience By Thomas L. Masecn. “It has come." “What has come?" asked Mrs. Gan son, wonderingly, for she had been looking at Easter hats all the morning and was in a dazed condition. “Why, the piece of furnfture I or dered. It is a wonderful idea. It comes in pieces, all separate, with di rections how to put it together. Don't you remember the day I wrote for it? Ah, now I shall have a merry time. I have wanted to take an afternoon off at a job like this for a long while." “Isn't this great!” he exclaimed, as he got all the parts together. “Here are the printed directions. Let's see. Begin with number one, and—” “What is it?” asked Mrs. Ganson. “It's a chair, you ninny. Just what I have been longing to loll away the evening in for so long—a great easy, comfortable chair. That must be the bottom piece. See how thick it is." “I don't believe it is a chair at all,” said Mrs. Ganson. "It looks to me like a table. They must have sent you the wrong thing." "Nothing of the sort. Just wait un til I begin to build it up, and then you will see ” Mrs. Ganson, disappearing in the house, was, however, so filled with cu riosity that she came'back in a few “How are you getting on?" Ganson rose up slowly—for his moments. back was almost broken—and waved a burnished slat in the air. “Do you know," he whispered hoarsely, “what I would do with the mouse-colored idiot that sent me this thing—the fiend who has spent his awful ingenuity in trying to invent some torture for the human mind tc lose itself on? Oh, maybe I wouldn’t beat him to a jelly! For heaven's sake, woman, get that hammer." Mrs. Ganson went after it. But as hers was the usual household, no ham mer, of course, was in sight. She looked in drawer and on shelf. Finally after a long search, she discovered it. and trembling with anxiety, sped forth to find her husband. A bright blaze met her eye. Ganson was poking up the flames “It’s all right,” he shouted, with a cunning smile which only comes to those in the last stages. "It may be a chair or it may be a table—it’s ah one to me. I’m having some fun out of it. My only regret is that the villain who sent it to me isn’t sitting on top.” (Copyright, 1909, by W. a. Chapman.) ; start it out upon a course that God only can forecast through eternity. | It would be easy to show that in a. day a life may be blighted, but it may be as profitable to remember that in one day a life may be redeemed. In one day Matthew the publican left, “the seat cf customs” and became a disciple. In one day Saul of Tarsus, ceased to be a persecutor and was called to be an apostle. If one day in God's house is better than another, it is the first day, the day in which the wanderer first realizes that he has entered within the circle, and that, he is conscious of God's love. It is worth a thousand years of aimless life. While God does not neglect the lit tle things, even the greatest are not too great for him. If one day is with him as a thousand years, a thousand years are as one day. He does not grow weary or impatient. He knows how precious time is, but he inhabits eternity. With untiring; patience he waits. It is because he changes not that we are not consumed. Blessed Memories. They of blessed memory help us; for they make it easy for U3 to believe in goodness and God and eternal life and heaven. They are even our last strand in the evidence for personal immor tality; for we cannot believe that all that power of loving and all that wealth of grace and all that beauty of character have ceased. He lives a poor attenuated life who has never thrilled to the mystic union, who does not know that there are two societies alone on earth—“The noble living and the noble dead." And sometimes even we see that they are not two but one great society, the one irrefragable bond of souls, the one communion of the saints. The memory of the just is blessed, a blessing to us more than we can put into words, not only in stimulating us to emulation, not only exciting us and guiding us to all good, but also establishing us in faith in good and faith that we too have the same real vocation to which we are called to walk worthy.—Prof. Hugh Eiack. THE MEASURE OF TIME. Day Spent with God Worth a Thou sand Years of Aimless Life. “One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” It is not because he does not care for time, but because he knows that millenniums are made up of days, and that days expand in their results as time flows on. They mingle with millenniums. We throw a day away and think nothing about it. It .is only a day, and we are rich in time. God's days have no end, but he treasures and uses each day as if it were a thousand years. What would happen to us if he left as alone for one day? He treasures each of cur days. One lay spent well by even the poorest of is is much with him. It is much with him, for he only knows how much :t really means for us. He knows '.hat, after all, there is not so much difference with us between one day ind a thousand years. One day's work may leave its mark upon a life—may 1 I the more or less blushing bride was already half promised to Roarer, a young man prominent among the cave people, and as vigqrous as he was vi cious. Things seethed, of course. There was a path sometimes taken by old Moss when he started on a hunting trip which led beside a slight but exceedingly stiff slope, almost a fall, at the crest of which lay a huge rock. Behind this boulder one day crouched Roarer. Old Moss came swinging rapidly along the path, tlintheaded spear In hand and exhibiting, supposedly, in his face some of the rapture of the excessively ancient honeymoon. Just as the ap proaching and unsuspecting hunter reached what Roarer deemed the right spot, the watcher bent and braced and heaved with his broad shoulder and down like leaping death thundered the boulder. And Roarer, in his murderous ex citement, had strained and heaved too lustily and far! As the rock went he lost his footing and pitched after it, rolling down the pathway of its very wake. Even in mid air old Moss per ceived him beneath jind, as he land ed himself, there was swift and un necessarily persistent spearing. Roar er was of the memories, and that night the wolves would eat him— simple strenuous times! Then it was that the fine old man be came enthusiastic and excited. He leaped up and down and yelped aloud till the sound reached from along the pathway. “Hi-vali! Hi-yah! A rolling stone gathers no Moss!” Very curious and interesting and educational, certainly, are the facts derived from a study of the origin ol the old proverbs. (Copyright. 1WD, by W. G. Chapman.) ——— ---■ I the last fellow in about 40 seconds of easy work. I threw in my twenty-first frog hoping to get hold of a smaller and more sporty fish. But in a moment something took hold and hung on just like a sack of wet sand. I reeled In and made a few unkind remarks thinking I had hooked a mud turtle. "The sport was too tame for me and I stopped to think a bit. I was weary of dragging in huge bass with no more life in them than in a water logged pair of pants. There was something wrong. I recalled a famil iar look about the last bass—it star tled me. I could have sworn I had seen that face before. A horrible sus picion crept over me, gents, and in feverish haste I threwT in my hook to fathom the mystery. In about two seconds he had fastened on and I snaked him in. “Well, It was the same bass—I counted 22 perforations where my hook had caught him. He was full of frogs, and to save time I took my remaining two and crammed them down his throat. Then I tossed him overboard and rowed for shore. And would you believe me, gents, that bass swam alongside all the way, sometimes so close I could reach out and pat him. And the man with the telescope wasn't a warden after all— wasn't that tough?"

A table so covered will be prepared to receive hot dishes upon any spot over its entire surface. ORNAMENTS FOR GRAY HAIR. Black and White Are Two Colors That Should Be Avoided. I The silver-haired woman makes a mistake in wearing black in her hair under the Impression that it will bring out the color. The contrast is too startling, and black deadens the luster. White darkens the silver tones and is apt to give the hair a greenish hue. The most becoming tone that can be used is silver, though there are certain shades of turquoise blue that are love ly with it. For daytime or informal wear bows or fillets of silver gauze are charming, while for evening a big silver flower or wreaths and garlands in silver oak leaves, or narrow silver bands will give the silver-haired woman a touch of distinction that no other coloring can. Side combs for gray hair are most \ effective w’ith silver tops. Gold combs rarely look well, though occa sionally those studded with turquoise are becoming. Rhinestones or dia monds go particularly well with sil very hair but are more becoming when set in silver or platinum than in gold. 3hirred Hats. Reboux is showing shirred hats of black velvet, medium-sized and worn well down over the head, trimmed with two long plumes. The turbans now are tiny and trimmed with one gold or silver ornament. At this famous shop is also a blue beaver with one small bluebird on the side. At Suzanne Tal bot’s the same shirred hats are shown, and French hair (which most likely is identical with the American article) is arranged to harmonize with the shape of every hat. For the turbans worn actually over the eyes, the hair is parted in the middle and arranged low at the back. For Marking Sheets. An easy method of marking sheets is to get name or initial tape, which can be purchased by the bolt, and sew the name on one of the hems at the left corner. This is an inexpensive way of mark ing articles to be sent to the laun dry. The red or blue letters do not fade and undoubtedly the embroidered let ters are more presentable than the ink laundry marks. Evening Footwear. The latest fad for evening footwear is slippers of gold or silver with flesh colored silk stockings. Slippers to match the color of the gown are still much worn with self-tone silk stock ings elaborately embroidered, some be ing even studded with tiny pearls or jet beads. Chiffon Is Deceptive. There is probably no more effective agent for producing the effect of a soft, clear skin than a sheer white chiffon (or maline) veil worn beneath the usual face veil; women wha are conscious of a few wrinkles are taking note of this fact.
