"THAT WHrCH THE AUTUMN TOOK AWAY

The things the autumn took away
With no returning spring shall como,
Never with leaf upon the spray
Never With bud or bloom,
Or lambs that make high holiday.
April will come again and May,
And the green world forget the gloom
And roses In the garden gray
Yield up their full perfume:
And blackbrds sing the liveong day.
O dancing leaves and winds at play
For spring shall bring the swallows home
And nght.ngales and scent OF hay.
But there shall never come
That which the autumn took away.

No MAN can be of value to HIM
self unless he is of value to others.
Consciousness of duty faithfully
performed, with its resultant con-
tentment and peace Of mind, is the
valued reward of using best en-
deavors to extend usefulness and
widen influence to advance the
happiness of others. There is
nothing in the world sadder than a
wasted life-one prostituted to
vice, enervated by it's degrading
pleasures and rendered curse in
stead of blessing to humanity
To be of use to the world is the
law of life, and as this law is obeyed,
in that measure will happiness be
enjoyed.

SOME people seem to think that
a short sentence in prison is an af-
fair of little consequence some
thing in which experience can be
acquired that will be of value in
after life. They forget the after
effect which is the inevitable penalty
Of Imprisonment, and which fol-
lows the ex-convict to his grave. A
writer in the St. Louis Republic,
in speaking on this subject, says:
No person who has never served
a sentence in a state penitentiary
can fully realize what lonesome
place this world is. No one knows
better than an ex-convict how it
cuts to the quick to be pointed at
and Stunned and turned away
when honest labor is asked. The
courts of justice and the officers OF
the law may not know it, but it is
nevertheless true that a convict's

dred crimes which necessitate the
use Of some weapon for purposes
of intimidation. If their sale were
placed under proper restrictions, it
would not only promote the secur-
ity of the citizen, but remove from
the excitable and adventurous a
strong temptation to crime and a
criminal career. Crimes which
call for desperate methods, such as
highway robbery, are seldom en-
gagged in by the more experienced
thieves. They know their great
risks and slight returns, and, as
financial reasons are the control
ling incentive, eschew them for
more profitable methods of ras-
cality, leaving the dangerous paths
to be trod by the amateurs in
crime, who, when possessed of a
revolver, are ready for the most
reckless of exploits.

REGARD for the fitness of things
evidences the true nature of the
man. It is the misfortune of ILL.,
breeding that it reveals itself un-
der circumstances where decorum
is most necessary. Like things,
action or expression have their
place, and when out Of place de-
stroy good feeling and plant the
seeds of discord that may ripen in
to enmity. Time and place should
be considered when anything is
contemplated, for single violation
of the ethics of the fitness Of things
may have unforeseen possibilities
for wrecking the best intentions
and wisest Of plans.
