SURE WAY 70 SUCCESS.

The way to make your town a

place to live is to push it, talk it up,
help improve it, beautify its streets,

with the largest amount of cash to
help along business boom or a big

IF YOU II AID
A Load

and told every man you met
that you had load of wood
to sell, and every man you
met would IN turn tell every
man he met that you had a
load of wood to sell, it would,
in time, become pretty well
circulated that you had a
load Of wood to sell but why
not cut it short-not the
wood, but the mcthod-and
place a good advertisement in
a good newspaper and SO tell
everybody AToNcE? Delays

THE VANISHED VOICE.
lRichard Burton, in Harper's Magazine for
August

There stood tree beside his boyhood 6
door
That faced the West and often, lust before
The sundOwn seemed TRANSPORTED with the
light
That flooded in. and keen upon his sight
Burned Images Of flame and from the
tree
fluted naneless bird goldenly
He seemed part OF the sunset and the sky.
The listener has listened for that cry
or love and longing many a weary time,
And heard it never nor can mortal rhyme
Encompass half its sweetness. Could the
place,
The homely homestead. and the subtle
grace
OF youth return, the magic moment when
The Westering day shows Heaven to
mortal men.
Though transiently, perchance the chant
ing bird
Would be there. too, perohance his voice
were heard.
The listener listens vainly. Song is rife
Still in the world. still love illumines life,
Bnt he would give the all of after years,
Its triumphs, VISIONS. and revealing tears,
10 list that little bird soul from its nest.
Leap into lyric rapture, sink to rest,
1 outh III the air. and sunset in the West.
