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.'

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.

"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."
