Worry so!
What we've missed Of calm We couldn
Have you know!
What we've met Of stormy pain.
And of sorrows driving rain,
We can better meet again,
If It blow.
We have erred in that dark hour,
We have known,
When the tears fell with tho shower,
All alone
Were not shine and shower blent
As tho gracious Master meant?
Let US temper our content
With His own.
For, we know, not every morrow
Can be- sad;
So, forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Let US fold away our fears,
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming yea.
Just be glad.

complaint of my infidelity. George
W. Balm the most prominent Pro-
hibition orator of our state is the
steadfast friend of myself and the
Blade, and the last time I heard
him speak he paid pretty tribute
to my services to the cause OF
Prohibition. Gen. Green Clay
Smith once candidate for Presi-
dent of the United States, had re-
ceived the Blue Grass Blade from
the time it started. He is a min
lister in the Baptist church, and
was the man who nominated me
for a position on the Prohibition
State Executive Committee when
i was elected upon that Com
mittee.
More Christian women of differ
ent churches in the State of Ken

are to-day friends of the Blue
Grass Blade than of any paper
ever published in this State. l
do not know of a woman Prohibi-
ZIONIST in the state who does not
take it and pay for it. Some of
them are stock holders in the
Blade and paid their stock with
out being notified.
l not only do not want any pay
from Mr.. Rogers for the Blade he
has now received for more than a
year but I wont have it, and if he
sends it, it will 60 back to his ad-
dress at Horse Cave.
IF a man takes away thy cloak
let him have thy coat also
P. S. Since writing the forego-
ing my wife calls my attention to
the fact that on one occasion l re-
ceived from Rev. Rogers a postal
card which was written in a jocu-
lar style but highly commenda-
tory of the Blade. I remember
that he had made a
picture of a horse with his pen,
and wrote the word "Cave" after
It for Horse Cave, his post Office,
and / remember that the card
the paper. On one
before when 1 wrote to
him for his subscription to the
stock of the Blade, he assigned as
/ reason for not paying it, that his
wife was sick.
