I will tell you." said the archaeol ogist, "why the ancients represented love by a little boy; There Is no liv ing being so delicately organized. You may say a girl is more so; but, grant ing that you are right, the female is not supposed to be the aggressor in love. It Is the male who makes the advance and Is rightly represented by the boy who shoots the arrow. The young spring together like two opposite electric currents, though even in this case Cupid sends the Shalt shooting at random. It is only when he fires at older people that It Is es sential that he carefully adjust and fire It with a delicate aim. I have a case in my mind. A few years ago I was planning for a trip to Europe. A man going abroad is not likely to trouble himself as to the hostelries at which he will stop, but a woman before sailing writes to , all her friends who have traveled her proposed route, inquiring for the most desirable boarding places and making a long list of them from their replies. My wife wrote her cronies, among oth ers Mrs. Catherine De Witt, widow of an admiral in the United States navy, and asked me to' write my old chum. General Poindexter, a retired army of ficer, who had a horror of ever being led iuto what he called a 'matrimonial guardhouse.' Both recommended very highly the Hotel C. at Sorrento, Italy. "Now, we archaeologists are accus tomed to look for relationships among the remotest buried antiquities. For instance, -when we find a fish painted on an Italian urn of the first century we know that it belonged to a Chris tian. No sooner did 1 read the rec ommendations of the Hotel C. at Sor rento, written by both the general and the widow, than 1 formed an infer ence. " 'It is situated,' said the widow, 'in an orange grove, hundreds of the mel low fruit on every tree. A few steps from the house is a marble terrace on the edge of a cliff overlooking the bay of Naples. Below is the water, a light blue or pale green; to the north the haay isle of Capri, to the west the cone of Vesuvius, emitting faint smoke, which mingles with the fleecy clouds hanging over its summit.' " 'I was impressed,' said the general, 'with the strength of the position from a military point of view. From the sum mit of the cliff shells could be dropped on the decks of a besieging war fleet, the only part left unprotected. As 1 stood on the terrace overlooking the ,bay I felt that if I were there com manding the town's defense I could sink the allied fleets of the world.'

The floaj representatives are practicing daily in the back yard so as to inspire confidence and maintain their equilibriup under the trying ordeal.

There are 145 acres of land in the tract and of this fully 135 are set to fruit. This is in apples, pears, and some prunes. Some of the trees are from 12 to 15 years old, while a few pear trees are only 4 or 5 years old. The whole orchard is now in the prime of bearing and it is estimated the fruit now on the trees will produce a net income of $10;000. Medford Tribune.

' but under the influence of the" queen ; of the night and that as she caused the tides " to ebb and , flow so had she drawn their hearts to pulsate in uni son. . ' "Since neither the general nor the widow was a fixture, my wife invited the former to go with us on a- Mediter ranean trip to Naples, and I wrote the former, who was in Paris, to meet us at the Hotel C. at Sorrento. The wid ow was only too glad to attach her self to our party, and the general agreed to be in Sorrento at a specified date. "We reached Sorrento on one of those afternoons when the heavens and the Mediterranean look down and up at each other like the blue eyed an gels. The widow took us out on the terrace to show us the view. She was as enthusiastic as she had been in her written description, but her eye was sad. In the evening the moon shone, and the general, arriving as the orb was chasing the twilight, must, needs take me to his imaginary fortification. I was not surprised to see on his face a look of disappointment. 'The posi tion,' he said, 'doesn't look as strong as It did. There Is something wanting In a defensive point of view, and I can't tell what it is.' "At that moment there were sounds of women's voices on the walk from the hotel, and, turning, we saw my wife , and the widow coming toward us. . - "I will not dwell on the meeting of the two, who had met. there before. In a few moments I heard the widow, pointing rapturously to the sea, Capri, Vesuvius, while the general, having suddenly discovered that what he had considered ,an element' of military weakness was really a tower of strength, declared that a million tribes-, men," manned by the sons of Hercules, could not have taken the position from Its ancient possessors. ' "Later we excused ourselves and left the two together. WhlJeJL had dis-. covered, tbat-CupJd, had pierced them during a previous meeting, it was my wife who had planned to bring them together. But how were they to dis cover, that which was so .plain to both of 'us? The little "god" simply Inocu lates. He is not the physician who diagnoses the disease, Informs the pa tient 'that he or she Is stricken with love and suggests the cure. But what Is too delicate a task for him cannot be safely intrusted to far less tender hands. All we could do was to keep the. two together long enough for them to discover what was the matter with them. This we did, and fortnight after our arrival the general came to me and told me that he and the, widow desired to travel together, -and as they could not properly do so unmarried they had decided to wed."
