AND WAR.
Brief but Not Uninteresting Discourse by
the Old Soldier.

the Old Soldier
"You know Ican't get over the fact, "
said the old soldier, ''that there's "a
heap more heroes in the world than
there was, all due to the civil war. And
you can't tell where you're going to
meet 'em. The man you buy a lead pen
Gil of i'll the stationery store may have
served, and so may the man you buy
| your clothes of in the clothing store.
just a likely as not the man that
brings your milk in the morning, COM
ing along early through the quiet streets,
may have been at Gettysburg, and the
man that twists the grip wheel of the
cable car you ride down Broadway in
may have marched over narrow cordu-
roy roads, through lofty forests with a
gun over his shoulder and a knapsack
on his back.
"You see, you can't tell. The man in
the pulpit may have been in it, and SO
may the man that sweeps the streets.
You can't tell about it. The fel1ers
don't stand round and holler about it.,
but they're heroes just the same-the
salt of the earth on this continent-and
the world is better for 'em, a heap.
They are self reliant and self respecting
citizens, who help to keep the country
sweet. And their children are proud of
them. How proud! And they grow up
all the stronger and better citizens for
this inheritance
"Still, 1 believe in arbitration-on

believe i'll it in practice too. War is a
frightful waste of human life and of
material. l can't now and l never

In a farming district in Louisiana a
candidate once made a very sensible
talk to some of his discontinued constit-
uents. He told them that it was hard to
draw the line between the rich and the
poor. "You call the Blanks rich peo-
ple," he said, "but they are simply

Local papers say that the enterprising
hunters near the boundary line have a
way of taking advantage of both the
Maine and the New Hampshire laws
and SO get double bounty upon every
bear they kia. New Hampshire pays SC
much for each pair of ears, while Maine
keeps tally by the nose. 1t is not likely
that the bear hunters in question are
much struck with the arguments of those
who urge that there should be uniform
legislation upon a matter of this kind.

IT'S COMING.

The years on the turn,
The night is toward morn,
Winters behind.
There's a sweet blade of green.
The black earth clods between.
And a kiss on the wind.
The days have grown longer,
The sun has grown stronger,
Robin alone
Shall have sweet company
In the bush and the tree
Ere a great while be flown.
Soon, soon the tall arches
OF beeches and larches
Grow misty and gray,
For the leaves that are coming
The spring that is homing
The winter away.
The grass shall smell sweet
For the treading of feet;
The crocus shall start;
The daffodil glancing.
And in the wind dancing,
Shall lift up the heart.
The years on the the turn,
The night is toward morn,
Drawn In her eyes;
And III joys coming home,
Ger the sands and the foam,
With a tender surprise.
