There is something singular about
professional business. Stormy
nights are the best for doctors, es-
pecially those who are helping on
the population. Mondays are the
best days for lawyers, because liti-
giants spend Sunday in thinking it
over. Wintry weather is the best
for church revivals, because people
can't loaf on the corners and board
walks and must go in somewhere to
be comfortable. There is no cyni-
cism in this, though you may think
SO.

Unslung their canteens-bade US ''drinkr'
It's thus that you. to-day, revive
My iainting heart. Across the years
The scorched and dusty years OF strife
My weary march draws near It's close
Nights shadows hide my camping ground
Aihirst and famisbed, in the gloom
halt when TO nay lips sou press
This cup, with cool, sweet water filed
Iowa State Register.
