The Bin Is Filled.

To the Editor
My answer to 'Fiiiing the Bin problem is as
follows Let equal the number OF bushels
In the bin and tine number required to MI It,
Then seven-thirds equals four-nfths y or s5x
equals 42y, or Ok equals 6y. Then I plus y
equals a. and Ok plus sy equals 2s4, and as ey
equals 81. sx plus 5x equals 2st; 1lx equals
2s4; Z equals "a. and y equals ~ less "a. or 20
bushels. Hence there were "a bushels In the
bin and II would take 20 more to all It.

His own True Love-

Would tempt stole soul to WOO thee

That YARNS my heart unto thea
The brightness of thy azure eye,
The honeyed sweetness of thy kissss
At times command. alas! will hy.
Mute. In the wake OF other blisses.
But when thy dear eyes dim have grown
Thy golden locks with silver sprlnkieA;
When age hath dulled thy voices tone.
And care thy sunny brow hath wrinklsl
Still love for thee my heart shall fill
The rose smells not less sweet for crumpli.s-
And age shall ind thee able still
To make me steak and kidney dumplinr.

keep theirs. or treat men as men and not like
pet dogs? Their words are only to be taken
with a grain OF salt. The more a woman Is
