LIKE A CHILD.
BY LOUISE CHANDLER MouLroS.

Playing there in the sun,
Chasing the butterflies,
Catching ms golden toy,
Holding i: fast til it dies;
Singing to match the birds,
Calling the robins at will,
CHANGING here and there,
Never moment STILL
Like child,
Going % school, at last,
Learning t. read and write,
Puzzled over bis slate,
Busy from morn till night,
Striving 10 win prize,
Careless when tits won,
Finding his joy in the strife,
Not in the thing that's done
Busy in eager trade,
Buying and selling again,
Chasing golden prize,
Glad OF transient gain;
Always beginning anew,
Never the long task DER,
Just as it used to be-
The butterfly before.
Seeking a woman's heart,
Winning it for his own,
Then, too busy for love,
Letting it turn to stone.
Sure OF his plighted truth,
What more had a wife to ask
Is he not doing for her
Each day his daily task 7
A child, to pine and complain
A child, TO grow so pale
For want of some foolish words
Shall woman's faith failf
Words he said them once
What need of anything morei
Does one who has entered room
Go back and wait at the doori
Baby Mary and Kate
Never can climb his knee;
Motherly arms are open
"Father is busy, you see"
Too busy to stop to hear
A babble OF broken talk,
To mend the jumping Jack.
Or make the new doll walk.
So busy that when Death come.
lie pleads Tor little delay,
If not to finish his work,
At least word to say
A word to wife and child,
A sentence to tell the truth,
That he loves them now, at the last,
With the passionate heart of youth
Tie kisses of Death are cold,
And they turn his lips to stone;
Out Of the warm, bright world
The man gees all alone.
Do angels wait tor him there
Over the soundless sea 7
He goes, as he came, helpless wight
To a new worlds's mystery
Like a child.

Walter A. Wood Harvester
WITH
IS. D. LOcke's Self-Binder.
The Hinder Warranted 60 Give satis-
faction.

THE HARVESTER may he used with or with
out the Binder Attachment
The Harvester can be bought one year and
used as a Harvester, two or three men doing
the binding, and the Binder Attachment can
be had at any time afterwards.
The Harvester, when used as such, has sew
eral decided advantages over other laryesters:
l. The machine is well built and symmet-
rical
2. II has wider cut than others
3. The sickle is driven by a pitmsn In front
so TINT the sway bar that so often gets out OF
order in other machines is avoided.
q. The cutters are lower down and lodged
and short grain can he cut better.
8. IL cannot crowd out OF gear.
6. 1t has greater elevating capacity than
most others.
7. Il shells less grain.
8. The grain does not slide forward.
g. The gear Of the drive wheel is not bolted
on TO the spokes, but is independent on the
axle and does not, therefore, get ont of true.
The gear is under the rim oil the wheel, 80 that
the dirt does not fall into il.
10. The machine can lie changed from q
harvester to a self-binder in few minutes

Nameless and dateless; sentinel or scout,
Shot down in ,kirmish, or disastrous rout
OF hattl-, when the loud artillery drave
Its iron wedges through the ranks OF brave
And doomed battalions storming the redoubl

In thy forgotten grave With secret shame

All that thou hadst-thy life, thy very name,
And can give thee nothing in return.
