The sunshine was spattering over the floor In a frolic of golden rain, And the little green leaves were whis- pering And tapping outside the pane. There were their college banners and books; And, hung on the plain gray wall. Sir Galahad, shining and tall. Waiting there for his vision, In the dream-filled days of yore. But now they have seen a vision And shall they come back no more? Through the open door I heard the step of the brave little brown-eyed mother. And though she smiled on the thresh- old, In her eyes the big tears gleamed. "I've been such a happy woman! We've always dreamed That little gri'andchildren might come some day. And get out the old toys, and romp and play Just as they used to. But now, you know, A WAR WITHOUT ILLUSIONS. There is something far greater than that, and, oh.

The Germans have lately been try- ing to make out a ca.se for the reten- tion of the stolen provinces, .\lsace and Lorraine, on the ground that they are pro-German. But there never was a worse case in the history of man. For forty years ana more the Ger- mans have tried repression, terror, and bribery, but they are farther from reconciling the Alsatians and Lorrain- ers to their rule to-day than they were in 1870. The Alsatians and Lorrainers do not recognize the German. He does not exist for them. They pass him in the street as if he were invisible. If the Germans get up a fete, a ball, a concert, Germans alone are seen there. Even the parks and ten-gardens chosen by Germans as their resorts are out of bounds to the natives of tho provinces. No German ever gets across tho doorstop of an Alsatian or Lorrainer except at the point of the bayonet or sword, or, if there should be such admission, the family is hence- forth outcast, pariah. Occassionally love steps in, as it will, and makes a breach. Some young German fRIls in love with an Alsatian maid and wins her affections and mar- ries her. She goes to her nuptials alone. Henceforth that girl is a stranger. O O- â€" â€" o â€" o â€" o â€" o â€" o â€" o â€" o â€" oâ€" « I ANY CORN LIFTS OUT, f DOESN'T HURT A BIT ! THE HAPPIEST LIFE. Is Found in .\daptation to Rx'atin?

One of the oddest sights on the sandy stretches of plain in southern Africa is a party of waltzing ostriches. A writer on the subject thus de- scribes their queer antics: "When there are a number of them they will start off, and, running a few hundred yards, will stop and, with raised wings will whirl rapidly round till they are stupefied, or perliaps break a leg. "The males pose also before fight- ing. They kneel on their ankles, opening their wings, and balancing themselves alternately forward ami backward, or to one side or the other, while the neck is stretched on a level with the back and the head strikes the sides, now on the right, now on the left, while the feathers are bristling. The bird appears at this time so ab- sorbed in its occupation as to forget all that is going on around him, and can be approached and caught. , "The male utters a cry, which sounds much like an effort to speak with the mouth shut tight."

When they are alike they are satis- fied just to be in each other's company. As married folk gradually exchange ideas and reconcile their differences their conversation is apt to give way to a contented and sparing use of ver- bal shorthand. A marriage of long standing that is still noisy with con- stant talk is not one to be envied. It argues an irrepressible conflict.
