Look Daylishts faIntest glimmer
Pales ont of sea and Sky,
The serrie1 cliffs wax grimmer,
Then into darkness iiy,
And all the seas white simmer
Has thinner grown and DINNER,
And darkeued far -nd nigh.
But yoader yonder yonder,
Blooms forth each golden star;
Plucking TILE nirth asunder
God lights them thick and Tar,
While ali the hcavens wonder,
And all the beings under,
Because such glories are
All when joys am IS going
And darkness downward rolls,
When sorrow, blscker growing,
The lives OF men controls.
Tnen in God heaven glowing.
Their tender ferceness showing,
Bloom out his stsr-like souls.

Take the sunny side.

NAtN rttAEs
Let's Oftener talk OF noble deeds,
And rarer OF the bad ones,
And sing about our happy days,
And not about the sad ones,
We are not made 10 fret and sigh
And when grief sleeps to wake it,
Bright happiness is standing By.
This life is what we make il.
Let's find the sunny side Of men
Or be believers in il;
A light there is in every soul
That takes the pains to win It.
OH there is Stun bering good in all,
And we, perchance, may wake il;
Our hands contain the magic wand;
This life is what we make it.
Then. here's to those whose loving hearts
Shed light and JOY about theml
Thanks be TO them for countless gems
We ne'er had known without them.
OH this should be a happy world
To all who may partake it;
The faults our own, if it is not
This life Is what we make it,

Gather In Your stores.

Gather In Your Stores.
Hari, the autumn winds are humming,
Farmers hurry, winters coming,
Gather up your spoils and stores,
See that nothing wastes outdoors.
You have handled well the soil,
Sowing seeds
And battling weeds,
Now comes reward for all your toll
Twivt the full-eared stalks OF corn,
Pumpkins gold the rows adorn.
Squashes peep with comely face
Where the low vines interlace.
Parsnips beets and beans ohol
Sweet potatoes row on row,
Grapes grown purple on the vine
Sweet and full OF impressed wilma
Red astrachans on the ground.
Pippins, russets piled around.
Cider foaming from the press.
Full of plans
With busy hands,
Blue.eyed. laughing Bess,
Hurrying here and running there,
Shaking out her golden hair,
Fleet OF foot and deft OF hand.
Busiest maid in all the land
Tho farmers lass.
Gathers in the purple store,
Baskets full and running DER,
Singing, working merrily
Glad a farmers lass to be.

Keep Your Troubles to Yourself.
Keep your troubles to yourself;
Put them on an upper shelf:
Far away as 1t may be.
Where no eye but Gods can see.
Other people have their share
OF afiiction, pain and care;
Why should you, though sorely tried,
Burden them with yours besidef
Daily brooding DER your grief
In no way affords relief,
But intensitieS the smart,
Turns the arrow in the heart.
Think OF others who have known
Greater sorrows than your own,
Keeping all their wounds concealed
Heroes on lifc's battlefield
Give of treasures you possess.
Loving care and tenderness.
Cheerful smiles or sordid pelf
But keep your troubles to yourself.

BLANKETS

Nearly every pattern of ga Horse
Blanket is initiated in color and
style. In most cases the imitation
looks just as good as the genuine
but it hasn't tie z0a,jb THREADS, and
so lacks strength, and while it sells
for only a little less than the genu-
inc it isn'tworth one-ha1f as much.
The fact that M Horse Blankets
are copied is strong evidence
that they are THE STANDARD,
and every buyer should see that
the "a trade mark is sewed on
the inside of the Blanket.

containing various questions on the sub

by him to the American Grange Bulletin,
from which the following passages are
extracted;

But the conclusion which he draws from
it is in this case different: he will regard
others not as his equals, not as equal
members of a great whole, of which he,
too, forms part, but as subservient to
himself, mere tools for satisfying his
needs and gratifying his desires. Thus
the consciousness of self, praiseworthy
enough in its place, deteriorates into
selfishness, and self consciousness into
conceit, Selfishness, pretension and the
desire to rule tempt him to make his
fellow men serve his own will, all that
he believes to be for his own advantage.

OF course, seven thousand were liable to

We call attention to the label OF the
United Hatters of North America in our

The cannie Scotch have evolved
something new in womaudom.
They've established school to teach
women how to. be wives. They teach
their pupils how to cook, sew, mend
and keep accounts. They teach them
how to darn stockings and how
to nurse baby. They teach
how to clean silver and how to decorate
q drawing room. What magnificent
thing it would be if some one could open
a school to teach men how to be hus-
bands.
BY the way, I'm willing to. wager
neat little sum that every teacher in
that first school is an energetic take

not marry the best man that ever
walked if she could, and could not
marry that same man if she would.
