There is a revival of the talk about
Dewey for the presidency. Bosh
The Admiral very sensibly expressed
himself on that point some time ago,
and is not to be inveigled into any
pursuit so foreign to his natural
tastes as the pursuit of the presi-
dency,

Montpelier came dangerously near
a water famine, and for few days
was practically without adequate
fire protection. But she is out OF it
now; and here's congratulations on
her escape. Water is something that
nobody can get along without, for
any considerable time; although it
must be confessed that in some OF
these Vermont towns a part OF the
population gets along with drinking
altogether too small quantities o.
| that fluid.

There is sure to be an exceedingly
warm time in the ancient capital
town on dewey Day." Not a single
man, woman, or child in the nation
doubts Montpelier's intention or abb
ility in the way of honoring her
splendid son, the Admiral. But what
in the world so contracted place =
geographically speaking is going
to do with the crowds expected, is
one of those things that no fellow
can quite make out. 1t will be the
biggest job that Montpelier ever un
dertook-and here's luck to her il
the luckiest sense of that word.

The Grand Army men have decided
to refuse the subordinate place
assigned them in the great land
parade at New York in honor OF
Admiral Dewey, because the national
commander has not been officially
invited to participate in the ceremo-
MES, but has been utterly ignored
in the arrangements for this great
event. Somebody seems to have
committed an inexcusable blunder IN
thus overlooking an organization so
deserving of recognition on such an
occasion, and whose prominent
presence would naturally prove
pleasing to the sailor hero of the day

So says recent issue of Life, under

PATIENCE WITH THE LIVING.

Sweet friend, when thou and are gone
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need OF grace
From comrade or from ncighbor;
Passed all the strife, the toll, the care,
AID done with all the signing
What tender ruth shall we have gained
Alas. by simply dying?
Then lips too chary of their praise
Will tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults to see
Shall no defects discover;
Then hands that would not lift stone,
Where stones we're thick to cumber
Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers
Above our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchance both thou and /,
Ere love is past forgiving,
Should take the earnest lesson home
Be patient with the living;
Today's depressed rebuke may save
Our binding tears tomorrow,
Then patience, cen with keenest edge.
May whct a nameless sorrowl
IT'S easy to be gentle when
Deaths silence shames our clamor,
And easy to discern the best
Through memory's mystic glamor,
But wise it were for thee and me,
Ere love is past forgiving-
To take the tender lesson home
Be patient with the living.
