She always drew the Minds n little closer to keep the sun from li is eyes, and then sat with her book, looking from Its open page to the bald spot on the top of his head. She would have liked to read the paper but the rustling sheets might' disturb him. "Have I been to sleep?" he would ask surprised, as he sat straighter In Ids chair, and she would smile. It Is a luxury to most women to mother something that does not actually belong to them. Hiram worked hard all the week, rarely coming to the village except on Sunday, although his farm was only a few miles distant. He had been brought up to believe that courting was not a pastime to he indulged In when plowing could be done. This was his weekly holiday to sit with Patience and discuss their future. They had decided many years ago, before those little lines came about her lips, that three things were absolutely necessary. They must have an oak set of furniture, a new buggy and a weeks tour. They were going to New York and up the Hudson. After seeing the world for that length of time they would be willing to settle down for life. This process of settling had taken place years before but neither seemed conscious of it since they did not outgrow each other. The engagement had lasted through many disappointing harvests, it bad been to the funeral of severnl horses with colic, It had countenanced the purchase of new farm machinery and built a barn, but there had never been a season when the three essentials could be acquired. Hiram coughed a little after he waked, for he must have a candid talk with Patience and tell her that he could not' see his way clear to being married this summer. We could not get along without the set, he said dolefully, and we are obliged to have the buggy and Ive only saved just half enough for the trip on account of my failure in the hay crop. Well, dont you bother, Hiram ; Ill think up something. We cant expect' to have everything In the world. Patience was always cheerful. You have a good farm with a house on it so you are well off, and I am very comfort able here by myself. These three rooms keep me pretty busy, and what with the garden, the cow and my flowers, the time just flies. Ive put away enough for the set and the buggy, he kept repeating, but have only half enough for the trip. It will take another year to save It. "There, dont be down about If.

Animals That Assist Each Other to Dress Some birds require both water and soil for a bath, while others use only soil. Sparrows and larks select fine, dry, gritty dust In which they splash and splutter as we do in a bath ; then with their beaks they smooth down their ruffled coats. The hen sits down in a dust-fille- d hollow and covers her feathers with dust and grit. Then she shakes herself and walks forth, clean and fresh. The rubbit and the tiger both use their forefeet as sponges and their tongues as combs, exactly as kittens do. Dogs hate dirt and are particular to keep their paws clean. Animals like the antelope, the deer and the giraffe A assist one another to dress. giraffe that was brought into a zoo kept his coat glossy and bright. He could not reach his neck, however, and soon it became several shades darker than his body. Cows and horses are sometimes believed to be fast friends because they are often seen showing their affection by licking one another. They may be greatly attached, but this demonstration is really assisting one another to dress. They have the same habits in this respect as their cousins of the wild. Exchange. Bill and the Films It would be hard to substitute Shakespeare for the films in this stage of the w orlds fancy. But Robert Man-te- ll is quoted as saying: For a world that is drunk with the movies, the only sobering draft can be Shakespeare." It is hardly fair to say that the films are merely intoxicating or an antidote. Shakespeare simply There is still room In the world for both the poetic drama and the cinema. The movies reflect after the manner of a mirror. They are human and represent the life and thought of the time. As for Will Shakespeare, he hardly wrote his plays for sobering drafts.
