Old Hymns.

There's lot of music in 'em-the hymns of
long ago
And when some gray-haired brother sings
the ones l used to know,
l sorter want to take a hand! think of
days gone by
son Jordan's stormy banks stand and cast
awistful eyew
There's lots of music in 'em-those dear,
sweet hymns of old
With visions bright of land of light, and
shining streets of gOld
And I hear 'em singing, singing, where
mem'ry dreaming stands,
"FrOm Greenland s icy mountains to India's
coral strand"
An so love the old hymns, and when my
time shall come,
Before the light has left me, and my singing
lips are dumb,
If can hear 'em sing them then I'll pass
without a sigh
To "Canaan's fair and happy land, where
my possessions lie."

Praying for Rain.

When all was fair and all was good,
Man viewed his waving fields with pride,
ana 6oasted how he understood,
ana now his way should be the guide.
HIS systems he declared we're wise,
And worked in union and accord,
he never, while he held the prize,
look time to say: II thank thee, Lord. y
The mill. the mart, the countryside,
Ihe fruits of toll from sea to line,
He gazed upon with swelling pride,
And cried aloud: 'sThis work is mine!"
He thought not of the primal cause.
All hlgher helping he eschewed,
And never thought it we'll to pause
Ana DOW his head in gratitude
But now he swelters in the heat,
And sees the changes of the scene,
And oft will gaspingly repeat:
II wonder what the Lord can mean''
He shudders at his shrinking purse,
BewallS his dying fields of grain,
Chokes back the ever-rising curse
And prays the Lord to send him rain.
"God, send us rain!'' he supplcates,
The thlrsting of the land to Slake.
The crop for moisture waits and waits,
And rain is something can't make!'
And God must smile at such time,
And pity, too, the feeble folk,
In every land and every cline
VAN man Is such a sorry joke.

Salutation.

FellOW-traveler, on the road,
Toiling on with heavy load,
Turn and look, for by your side
Journeys one who cannot hide
Kindred feeling, warm and true
See, | reach my hand to you,
Take it, friend, who'er you be,
Come and walk awhile with me.
Here's my hand to you, and you,
Fair of mein or dusky hue,
Dwarfed in body or in mind,
Slow of thought, alert or blind,
Tall OF stature, strong or weak,
Here am |, the friend you seek;
Hear me call where'er you be,
Comrade, walk awhile with me.
All are part of one great plan,
Fashioned when the world began;
Some may sow while others reap,
Some may laugh while others weep,
Some may ride the topmost wave,
Some may SOrrCW to the grave;
Each one of the human race,
High or low must fill its place.
Shall we then since this is true
draw a line 'twixt me and you?
Shall we not assistance lend,
kindness and comfort send
To the one who drags the load
Travelling with us on the road?
From the self-same God are we,
Wise or simple, bond or free.
Have you been misunderstood,
Blamed for harm, while doing good,
Have you suffered, sinned and wept,
Keeping watch while others slept,
And when tempted, did you fall?
s,0 1,< l. oil
Comrade let us start anew,
May come and walk with you?
1t may chance as on we go,
When the clouds of evening glow,
Unto us may one draw near,
Bringing words of hope and cheer,
And his presence, we have read,
Will be known in breaking bread;
And he may with us abide
In that blessed evening-tide.

A Mothers Song.

While you sleep, Watching
Little hearts, how strong you beat
With the pure young life-blood sweet,
Umpolluted yet by fear;
Till my own proud pulses leap,
While you sleep.
Hid behind the fast-closed eyes
What entranced dreams must lie.
Many a lovely fantasy
Yelled from us who are grown wise
We who sometimes watch and weep
While you sleep.
Little hands that closely hold
Favorite toys which soothed your rest;
Here doll clasped to the breast,
There a book with tale oft told
All your treasures safe to keep,
While you sleep.
While you sleep, the calm, dark night
P sses by so cruelty fast.
Little hearts. Time seems so vast,
Love is fain to hold you tight
One more kiss; away l creep
While you sleep.

Adam invented all the different ways
in which young man can make fool
of himself, and the college yell at the
end of them is just frill that doesn't
change essentials.
It's the fellow who thinks and acts
for himself, and sells short when prices
hit the high and the house is stand
ing on its hind legs yelling for more,
that sits in the directors meeting when
he gets on toward forty.
Pay day is always month off for the
spendthrift, and he is never able to
realize more than sixty cents on any
dollar that comes to him. But dollar
is worth one hundred and six cents to
good business man, and he never spends
the dollar.
If you gave some fellows talent
wrapped in napkin to start with in
business, they would swap the talent
for gold brick and lose the napkin;
and there are others that you could
start out with just napkin who would
set up with it in the dry goods business
in small way and then coax the other
fellows talent into it.

Defea at, But Honor.

The foot ball game between the
High School teams of Darlington and
this place, played on the fair grounds
in this city last Saturday, resulted
III victory for the visitors. The
pointers outclassed their oppon-
ents in line plays, but on defensive
end playing the locals met their SUI
periors. This weakness gave the
Darlington backs good opportunities
to skirt the ends for successive gains.
But the phenominal line plunging OF
Full-back Brewer, who went through
the opponents line ut will and gains
made by Half-backs Prideaux and
Hoare for the home team, compen-
stated for Darlington's aggressive end
runs, resulting in the practically tie
score of II to IL.
The game was clean and fair eX-
eept in few instances. Some con-
tend that Darlington did not lawful
lv kick their first goal; this would
have left the score tie. others al
lege that the first touchdown made
BY Darlington was by forewafd pass
and that there Darlington won the
game she otherwise would have lost
Itis a general verdict that Darling
toms official showed marked unfair
ness in his decisions in the last half.
Again, Darlington declares that
Mineral Point never made their first
touch down, it being given them by
their official, thereby lessening the
victory.
Aside from the usual athletic sport
of such occasions, highly sociabIe
time was enjoyed by the teachers
and scholars of the two schools.
