Probably it is because he was not

Harvest DAYS.

In summer heat our backs were bent;
We titled the land; we sowed the seed;
And many weary hours We spent
In fighting insect, blight and weed.
But now we work with glad accord,
For we are reaping our reward.
The soil was poor the weather bad:
Our work was hard, our bodies sore;
And weary were our souls. now glad;
Severe the pain that now is Ger.
For who can think of grief or pain
Who works in field of ripened grain?
All, We who toll from day to day,
Bethink We of the smiling sun.
Zen though ye work meath sky that
gray
Twill help you when your work is done
The work you do is prayer and praise,
And Time will bring you harvest days.

If the President carries arms to pro
tect himself against possible attack. he
certainly has an ample justification in
the periS which unfortunately beSet a
man in his position. He cannot be always
surrounded by a bodyguard, nor is he
the man to submit to such an annoyance
He must of necessity realize the fact that
he may al any time become a target
of attack by Anarchists or mentally un-
balanced individuals. Under these cir
cumstances, why should not President
Roosevelt carry a revolver with which to
protect himself, should he choose to do SO?
The average sane American citizen would
rather learn that Mr.. Roosevelt had shot
an assalant than that he had fallen a
victim to the bullet Of an assassin, as
have three of his predecessors. Either
contingency is remote. Both are possible.

You would have had pleasant trip

pounds and 3 ounces, while the three

which ranked third, weighing pounds

Bangor News: 1t is rather hard to
define the scope of a village improve
ment society. 1t is all that it's name
implies. 1t strives and works and plans
to improve the village in which it has
n being. If there is a dark corner Of Il
busy street which needs lighting, this
is the society which takes hold and
sees that light is placed where i is
most needed. If there is strip of de-
fective sidewalk or a muddy crossing,
if the village library is in need of funds
for new books or for the binding of old
books. if the village cemetery requires
new fence or the old fence needs
painting, if the town hall requires fix
ing up or if a crooked street would
look better should it be Strengthened,
if there is anything unsign;ly or in
convenient or annoying about the VIII
lage. it is the village improvement so :
ciety which takes hold of the idea and
agitates and urges and works until the
end is reached. There is no gainsaying
a request made by any village improves
/ ment society. 1t not only works hard.
