Boyle I don't thinkthere is anything more satisfying to a man in the country than a warm Sunday in May, I al- ways manage to either out my after- noon nap short, or else dispense with it altogether.

The trees are breaking into bud and leaf, The grass shows green on the hillsides. There's a sense and a smell of growing in the air. If you meet somebody on your walk, you'll find that they're optimistic. 'You can find excuses for'pessimism during the oth- er seasons, but it's impossible to do that during Spring. Take the matter of auction sales. Most sales are the result of trouble. Sometimes this isn't' so, especially, in the case of a man who is retiring, 'On the other hand, acution sales in the Fal' are usually held on cold, wet days when the chill goes to the marrow of the bone. In the Spring, even if you hit on a chilly day, there's a note of cheer. I. suppose it's because you realize that in a few weeks we'll have .ummer weather. The children on their way to school seem to be enjoying the season just as much as anybody. You'll find them scrambling through the tickets, pluck- ing pussy-willows or looking for marsh marigolds. Even the thoughts of Spring examinations is not enough to dampen their enthusiasM. The mailman on the Concession told me the other day that he can notice a difference in people. About this time of year he has to buy money orders for most of the folks, to be sent away to the mail order houses. They're thinking of paint to brighten their places up or new curtains or new clothes. In thethe harness shop win- dows have had their annual washing. This is an event of importance. They cloud up during the summer, fall and winter and then one day . . . . Peter McGillan decides that it's spring. No matter how amny orders may be wait- ing for his attention he goes to work with a vengeance. He cleans the win- dows and then his wife comes along and polishes them, He takes the weatherbeaten signs for harness oil and horse blankets out and puts clean tissue paper in the window and sets out a new array of display cartons and signs, Then we all know that spring has been recognized, the world is looking brighter and we can expect summer to come on schedule, An Irishman got out of a coach at a railway station for a sandwich and coffee, but the train left before he had finished his repast. "Hould on!" cried Pat as he raced along, "Mould on, ye murthen .)uld stame ingin—ye've got a passenger on board that's left behind".
