War Tax Stamps.

News that the Senate at Washing

gratified officials of fire insurance
companies. Many policies are not
taken up when issued. and the com
panies have contended that the
stamps on such documents should be
redeemed by the government The
companies have thousands of dollars
worth of the low values held for re-
demption; how the redemption can be
accomplished. however, has not been
decided. If the stamps have been
taken off the papers, il is contended.

WHEN WE GROW OLD.

When we grow cid dear love, and
from my eyes
The light and brilliance of my hot
youth dies,
And all the fairness you are praising
now
Casts but its wrath DER lip and cheek
and brow,
While one by one your golden visions
| ask you-will you love me faithfully
When we grow old?
When time shall turn these sunny
locks to gray,
From my trim form all beauty take
away,
When grace and ease and elegance are
gone
And naught is left Loves fires to feed
upon.
You, whom | choose my king among
all men,
Still your hearts queen, shall | be
reigning then
When We grow old?
God keep you ever happy by my side!
Though age may stem this feyered
passion tide.
When worn and weary down Life's
vale We stray,
Be my hearts anchor as you are to-
day;
BE my true love that shall the closer
cling
Through all the changes coming years
may bring;
Our faith upheld-count this our last
ing gain
That we so live that Love undimmed
remain
When we grow old!

Characteristics Of the Lamented War

Forbes was one of those writer's who
seemed TO be led by his pen When
writing the ink bottle inspired him.
but the apparent facility was greatly
due to his percepive faculties and
the habit of consciously as we'll as un-
consciously storing his perceptions.
He had an excellent Judgment Ia
things military and literary. and hal
an instructive feeling of the stand
point that would suit the public. H.
also read character quickly. His re-
spect for authority was deep. and yet
he was. as a schoolboy, student and
soldier, always getting into scrapes
for being insubordinate. | dare say
the reason was a Scotch tendency to
argue, coupled with pertinacity. He
told me that as soldier he received
every punishment under capital pun
ishment. short of logging, that mill
tary judges could intiict In looking
back at his career he often wondered
that he did not desert. Not that he
ever felt tempted, but his outlook was
utterly hopeless. He fancied that the
activity of his brain kept him from
doing SO, for somehow, even when
his lines were hardest, life seemed TO
him full of interest. He also took
pride in punctually obeying orders.
There was something In the walk
and look of Forbes that reminded me
of a watchful sentinel. He was eager
to make money, and must have made
n great deal, but he spent freely and
had no idea of economy. Money
slipped through his fingers. He was
a good comrade when the feeling of
rivalry did not come in. There WAS
no egotism III his talk, though he only
talked of what came within the range
of his personal experience or obserya-
