through life, and for the young this hope

to be blessed, for so long as horses toiled
over impossible ruts and ridges no one

man what he is. Outwardly the coun-
terfeit is as good as the genuine. 1t is
the real worth of the individual which

which determines It's value. There Is
danger in the election Of officers that
the politics of the man is the principal
thing to consider.
