He wondered if his curly dog would hear her And race out, barking where the pansies grew; And whether, that a little boy should fear her And stay inside, or go to meet her. too. He wondered if the house would seem as empty Or whether there would be no place to play, He wondered if she wouldn't try to keep him When wander voices called him far away. He wondered, too, if daddy still would love him. If. when the stars had sparkled out the blue. She'd sing a little, friendly song above him — The ring of wheels—she kissed him and he knew. —Abbie Craig, in Youth's Companion Mr. and Mrs. Alva Baker and Mrs. Mary Dailey entertained at dinner in a delightful way at their country home west of city for Mr. and Mrs. Morris Hay, Mr. and Mrs. Emerson Hay and babe.

The operation was a very serious one* for the removal of tumors. She was taken to the hospital Monday. No word has been received here since, and it is thought that she is getting along all right.

From My Narrow Little Window By THE HOOSIER OBSERVER BREAKING AWAY.

There are two pleasant things about a vacation visit —the before and after leaving. The fore-part you all know, is the pleasure there is in planning. Don't you look ahead months and months and picture the delights of the rest and change; the pleasant scenes and associations; the novelty of travel; the freedom from the cares of every-day work and worry? And then there is the pleasure of the realization! But between these two, there is the awful bitterness of the actual breaking away. How many, many times have all plans come to naught, just because at the last minute you couldn't leave the home folks. ****** Ihave read with incredulity that through the minds of a drowning person there passes the memory of nearly every event in his life; and how often have I somewhat lightly passed over an emotional poem in which are recorded the heartaches of a couple or of an aged person ia leaving their home of many years: how well 1 remember my amusement when an old lady got on a train on which I was riding and I heard her call anxiously to her husband who had brought her to the station —to be sure to take care of the calf ****** If there is another time in life when these are paralleled, and when it seems no laughing matter —until the day after when you are fairly started on the delights of the vacation—it is the night before leaving. If a person is ever a pessimist, it is then. The most trivial things parade themselves before your mind and loom mountain-high. If the later hour brought no relief 1 am sure that vacation visits would be unknown quantities. ****** You are going away for only a week —and not a hundred miles away perhaps. But you walk into the yard and see that plant that you have watched and tended and which will bloom while you are gone. How you would like to see it! From within .lie house come the sounds of the brother playing the violin. Yesterday, when he thumped Peter. Peter Pumpkin Eater on the piano with the pedal down on all notes, your nerves shrieked in outraged misery and you thought bring. Tonight of all nights he of the relief the vacation visit would chooses to play on the violin, "Traunierei," that "Dreamery" that fairly tears out your heart-strings—or Schubert’s “Serenade,” or “Farewell, Dolly," or "It's a Long. Long Way to Tipperary,” or even “The Irish Washerwoman”—they all have a mournful sound tonight and —you

HORSE AND BUGGY TAKEN. From Geneva comes the report of a horse and buggy stolen from the hitch rack about 8 o’clock last night, the same belonging to James Fenstenmakei, a young farmer of near that place. A horse and rig disappeared here Tuesday night, but were recovered in the south part of the county, where it was abandoned, or to which place it had wandered away.

might never bear him again, you happen to him or even to yourself. Others have never survived auto rides! And then, too, huckleberry and peach canning will be coming on. and you not at home. But maybe the household will run on without you. There is a very little melancholy relief in the disappointment you had last year when you got home and found that the cogs ran all right without your presence there a week! Still, about not getting home all right. You had better take out your will and read it over again. Everything must be all right. You are not mad at Cousin Jenny any more and it would be well to insert that clause that you scratched out, giving her a choice of some old patch-work quilts. It wouldn't do to go away with a grudge on your mind, and you not knowing how soon you might be killed. You had better see, too, that all your clothing is in immaculate order. It would never do to have an automobile accident and you wearing a stocking with a hole, even the tiniest. in the heel. Over there is the kitten. You don't like it. and it doesn't like you. but you wonder whether it won't miss you a very little. and whether it will be much larger when you get home. You wonder if the Bartlow twins will come over as usual to look at the “funny papers" and whether the jelly from the plums will “jell” just the same if you are gone. There’s that telephone number of the home to which you are to go. You niusn’t forget to leave it at home, so that if any of them gets hurt, or sick, or homesick, or the house bums down, or they want you to come back, they can get you in a moment's notice. You promised Net a pattern of that rose-fillet la<e. You had better make it in case anything would happen that you wouldn't get back, so Net would hate it for some consolation, anyhow. Well, the chickens may get along all right but you doubt it; and the tlo'j. too. and the calf. You must leave explicit directions for their feeding. Why. how said that Traumerei is, wiiy can't the boy go and thump Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater. You just know that in two minutes more you will be crying and then go in and unpack the suit case and—but just then. —something happens to turn the tide and the After looms up over the horizoji. And you leave the next morning and have the best time ever, and the household and business get along just as well, it not better, without you! Democrat Want Ads Pav.
