Vera Crux Ore* has the Tmtrjne record of having been twice captured by American forces, once in 1846 when we were at war with Mexico, and again in 1917j when we were not at war with Mexico. However, all we seem to do with it after we get it is to give it back again, so its citizens probably feel little worried at the vicissitudes of war. Indeed, they have recently raised a statue in honor of the noble defenders of Vera Cruz against the grin goes, which shows that they fed they are adequately protected. in Joy Giving When you once get started In Joy giving, It's easy to keep It up. The fact that you give joy, brings candl dates for your magic touch constantly before yon- The returning benefits of having given joy keep you supplied with the means of joy giving.

The ray of sunshine, falling weakly upon the side of a tree or upon an old log, will hatch out many of these eggs, and the little creatures wobble through a frozen air for s few minutes before perishing. Possibly It Is a tragedy with them when they are brought into the world too soon^ At any rate they do not flourish; they do not mate and propagate their kind when hatched out in winter.

CWLA WILKINS wiped tile last lamp chimney until It gleamed like something better than just plain blown glass. In its crystal rotundity she saw reflected her round, elderly face, very round one way, much too long the other; It all depended on the way she held the chimney. "I might say," Cula murmured to herself, "that the short way Is how I look when I begin my dally tasks In the morning, and the long way Is how I look at nights when I'm ready for bed and dead tired from my day's work." She placed the chimney on the freshly filled lamp and set tt alongside seven other lamps on the shelf over the old-fashioned wooden kitchen sink. When Cula looked at the sink she sighed, and when she looked at the row of freshly tilled and washed lamps she sighed again, which all goes to prove that Cula was not only tired but getting blue as welL To tell the truth, she was tired of washing lamps. She longed for electric lights, hut most of all she wanted to have water brought from the big spring to the I house. She stood looking down at the old sink and rusty pitcher pump that ' stood at the end of the sink. She wondered If she wasn't actually beginning to hate that old iron hand pump i which had to be primed before It | would give forth even a small stream of water. She turned her eyes, resolved to And something pleasant to j look at and, alas. her eyes fell upon a big, heavy yellow bowl. "Oh, that bowl!" Cula fairly moaned. "I have mixed everything I've cooked for thirty years--no, thirty years and two months exactly, In that bowl. Why, that's half a lifetime! I suppose if I could see all the barrels of , flour and sugar Pre stirred up In that t old bowl!--and the lamps I've washed, and the water I've pumped from that • pesky pitcher pump, why-- Oh, well. I I mustn't get to figuring or I'll be a I fit subject for the asylum, and I was | reading only yesterday that the majority of women w ho are 'put away' j are small farmers' wives. ju?t like: me. Well. I don't wonder If they do j go out of their heads, what with the | drudgery and monotony. Surely, wash-1 Ing the same lamps and using the ' same mixing bowl for .VO months-- I that would be 10.R<K>-- Oh, there I go j again! Til sa.v it's getting on my! nerves. I sometimes wonder If Henry | had to do the work in this house day : after day If he wouldn't see the neces j slty of having a few conveniences j He has running water In the barn and j he buys every new-fangled thing to help him get his work done quickereasier I should say. Huh! Maybe I'm to blame for not asking for what Is rightfully my share of the newfangled things. Maybe I haven't kept up with the times. I'll ask him about electric lights this very day." And Cula, willing as usual to blame herself for any of Henry's shortcomings, felt almost light-hearted so sure was she that the electric lights would be forthcoming for the asking. That noon Cula asked Henry. 8he waited until he had eaten a full meal of corned beef and apple dumpling. "Henry," she said, "what's the matter with our having electric lights put In the house? Sine.-. Holsworth's have had 'em put in the wire goes right by our house." Henry gave a cautious look. He glanced up at the shelf full of gleam;. Ing lamps and said with a grin: "Lamps giving out?'* , "No, that's one thing that'll never happen." Cula snld. "But all the farmers up this brook but as have electric lights." "Well, can't you let "em?" Henry answered sourly. "We've got along so far with kerosene lamps and I don't see any use of making a change. Tin satisfied to do all the reading I do by a lamp, that Is, what little reading I find time to do. If you didn't fool away so much time puttering iv»und the house you'd get your reuding done before dark. I don't see my way clear to spend any money foolishly Just now. and anyway, I've been thinking of getting me a car--" - "Welt;" said Cula with more spirit than she had ever shown before, "I wouldn't glv« a cent for a car, but I would like the lights and the water from the spring piped Irfto the kitchen--" • _ , "There you go again!" Henry interrupted. "First it's lights and then It's water. Why. if I d'*i't curb your foolishness, woman, vm'd have me in the poorhoust InsHe six months. Next thing you'll be waiting a hired girl--" And Henry left the house muttering, to himself." *, - • Cula sat a long time at the table with her chin resting In her band. She felt a strange ensation of warmth mounting to her bead. She didn't realize that It v. (is temper. She bad been a good, saving, hard-working wife to Henry for over thirty years and she knew by Henry's frequent boastings to their neighbors that he was putting money away every day. They had no children to leave a cent to. Cula had never asked for anyr thing that was not perfectly reasonable, and she felt she was not doing so now. Finally, with a sigh, Cula arose from the table and reached for tl$e milk pitcher and butter plate preparatory to taking them down Into tbe cool Mr. and Mrs. R. B.
