Canada giv,s to its geological survey
only $4,000 year, while, contrasts
the Chicago Herald, the various geologi-
cal surveys in our own country absorb
nearly Sl,000,0 900 annually. Yet Can
ada makes fine showing with this
modest sum. The annual geological
records are in part records of original
discovery and research, and, with their
fine maps and photographers, ar, as in
teresting as many books of travel. Can
ada contains the largest unknown areas
OF the American continent.

CHORES.

Jed Dorcum always used to say
When we asked him to come and play
with us boys down to Harry Moreis,
I've gotter stay and do the chores"
No recreation would he take
For all his wealth in jelly cake;
No glad fun in or out Of doors,
He had to stay and do the chores.
We drove woodchuck in the wall
But Jed he paid no heed at all;
A circus passed through Lower Town
But busy Jed, he couldn't go down.
The elephant went tramping by
And shook the earth and touched the sky;
The tiger howls, the lion roars,
jed stays at home and dees the chores,
Much like Jed Dorkum are we all
Who long for great things and do small;
We moil among the trivial sods
Within the gardens Of the gods,
While the dark clusters hang above
Rich with the juice of life and love.
We cannot reach and pull them down,
These fair pomegranates of renown;
Whose juice life's early hope restores,
For we must work and do the chores.
Above us sternly loom forever
The mighty Mountain of Endeavor,
And whose on their summit stands
Looks on the sun-kissed table lands.
We grasp our mountain staff to climb
Their sky-enshroudei peaks sublime,
Up where the crystal torrent pours-
And then we pause to do our chores.
We start with courage in the heart
To try the endlessness of art,
In hope that we may speak some day
The word the Spirit bids us say,
But ere we speak the word Alright
The shadows come and it is night.
Put out the light and close the doors,
For good or i'll we've done our chores.
Sam Walter Foss, in Yankee Blade.
