1t is matter of congratulation
that so many Of our people turned
out to hear the address Of Rev. A. A.
James at the memorial exercises
Wednesday. The speech was a cap
ital one, and the spirit that shows
appreciation for heroism is one Of the
sure foundations of u free manhood.
There may be some who feel that al
this talk and oratory and placing Of
flowers is unnecessary. There have
always been such mercenary spirits
in the world, But those who perpet-
uate our free institutions and in
whose hands our liberties are safe,
are those who do not forget 70 hproc
the memory Of our dead heroes.

STAID SHEEPV:S.
FRI. Ky I, tHB.

Several years ago small picture
came out in some Of the papers. The
picture showed an old sheep, lean
and lank with ego glasses on her
nose and her knitting in her hrnds
She was seated on broken down
fence and looking out Mt half dozen
lambs that were gamboling out in
the nearby meadow. One was reared
on its fore feet, another on it's hind
/ feet, one was leaping in mid-air, an.
other stood on its head, while various
| other positions were assumed by the
| rest Of them. The old sheep was
looking on with u frown upon her
! face and underneath the picture were
these words: ave never did that
way when / was girl" 1t is too
often the case that older people for
get that they were once children.
They have allowed tho struggles Of
life TO harden them. Now and then
one meets an elderly man or woman
that seems to be really provoked that
anybody should be pleasant and
should seem to be having good
time. These poor souls have had the
sweets Of their hearts tucncd into
vinegar. They are Il burden to the
world. They carry cloud with
them wherever they go. They delight
to talk of funerals and fusses and Of
the good old days that have forever
passed. Some of these sober souls
think it q sin to laugh and have
pulled down tho corners of their
mouths until they look fright.
These very same sober, solemn sheep
were once as frisky lambs as any
to be found in the flock. They have
forgotten-and, what is worse, grown
hard. This is bad for the lambs,
and worse for the old sheep. The
heart must be kept young. Let grey
hairs come, let the body stocp and
diminish with the passing OF the
years. But keep the heart young.
Stay in touch with the young people.
Smile with them in their homeless
mirth. By doing this you may save
them from the real dangers that
arise, and will certainly have more
delightful journey yourself. There
are old people in the world whose
grey hairs do not drive away the
children, but on the other hand, seem
to attract them. There are sweet
old grandmothers whose ready smile
and general sympathy makes the
young heart bow before them in will
ing homage. There arc dear old
grandfathers whose serene and sub
dued gentleness is the delight of chill
dren. They can see some good in the
rising generation, and tho rising gen
Grafton sees some good in them. 1t
is not every one that grows old grace
fully, but is n gcodiy thing to do,
and gives to age Il power and innu-
ence over the young that is good to
behold.
