The Last words of the Romance

The Last words of the Romance
All well; let it pass in silence,
Wen forget ~
There are doubtless things to live for
Even yet.
And life has far nobler uses
Than regret.
There are joys that wait our coming
Down the years.
d., not think that shall meet them
But with tears
That for me life holds no promise,
Only fears.
Do not think that | shall idly
Sit and wait,
Watching with the old blind worship,
Your fair fate. -
This might once have been: now, truly,
IT'S too late.
There are breezy heights my footsteps
Well may tread.
There's future radiant promise
Overhead
Naught shall dim its light not even
Words you've said.
So vel let the years slip frIm us
Suns have set.
In your life may love and sweetness
Linger yet.
AID for me-O Father help me

Perfect Hot Air
Blast Draft Furnace

That will. An entirely new application whereby
1t produces as much heat from the gases and
smoke alone, by consuming them, as the ordinary
furnaces make from the coal, producing 90 de
grees higher temperature Of heat with II per
cent less coal This is accomplished by supply
ing oxygen heated to high temperature through
the middle of the body of coal on each side Of
fire pot forcing all gases from the fuel, intro
dncing high temperature oxygen above the sur.
face of the fire. Result perfect ignition of oxy.
gen, gases and smoke producing more heat with
less coal than any furnace on the market These
are not idle words, but the application of the
scientific, modern, practical way of obtaining the
full benefit of the combustion of the coal
will set one of these furnaces in competition
with any other make of furnace in the world and
If it will not produce more heat with less fuel l
will set one in your house and charge you nothing
for it.

"Come, kid; tell us what the colonel
said to you," asked the troop, some time
later, when the trumpeter had returned
from his interview.
"Well," replied the youngster, 'he said
to me, says he, Stubs, you are the boy
for my money; that's the finest call have
ever heard in the army"
There was a howl of derision from the
assembled troop. "Come off, you young
wind jammerr'-this from the first SER
geant. 81 suppose he really gave you
good dressing-down, didn't heP'
"Naw. If you want to know our con-
versation, I'll tell you, though l don't
want to hurt nobody's feelin's."
Gan set! sung out the big fellow.
The kid edged away from the crowd.
" Well says he to me, Stubs, If that
first sergeant of yours don't look out,
you'll be wearing his chevrons soon"
And with that the kid turned and fled.
When at a safe distance he halted, faced,
and brought his hand up in a manner not
unlike the salute prescribed in the present
drill regulations.
What the colonel really said was this:
"Trumpeter, why didn't you sound the re-
call, as l ordered you 20 do|"
"Well, sir" answered the hoy, cracking
his heels together and bringing his hand
up in quick military salute, TX troop had
never heard the recall in the field, sir;
they wouldn't have understood it"
There was kindly, indulgent look on
the chiefs face as he punctiliously return
ed the young troopers salute and dismiss
ed him. For the rest of the trip Stubs
was on duty as headquarters orderly.
"Me an the ole mans Twin high" was
the way he expressed his satisfaction TO
the troop-''pie every dayr'-The Century.
