The late Amos ]. Cummings of New
York used TO tell this story of his first
assignment as newspaper reporter. He
was sent out TO write up an accident
where an Irish hodcarrier was injured
in a fall from a building. He arrived
just as two officers were assisting the in
jured man into the ambulance.
What's his name!" asked Cummings
of one of the officers, at the same mo-
ment pulling out his pad and pencil.
The Irishman heard him and, mistak-
ing him for the timekeeper on the job,
exclaimed, with a look of disgust cover
ing his face:
isn't it trouble enough to fall three
stories without being locked for the few
moments / lose goin' to tn hospital?"

CHILDREN STILL.

We seek no more daily prize,
Nor triumph in our dreams,
So changed the luster of the skies,
So faint and few the CLEANS.
Yet comes anew, when others play,
That unfOrgottcn thrill.
And are we dull and old to-day,
Or only children still:
We loved the battle once, but now
We are not overload
There's wisdom on the weary brow,
and in our hearts the cold.
Yet in the light OF eager eyes
We lose the wintry chill,
And then we are not overwise,
But simple children still.
The visions If our glorious youth
Have faded kong ago;
We hope no more to find the truth,
And should we care 10 know
Not ours To scale the viewless height,
But there's a purple hill.
And still we gladden. at the sight
And Climb as children still.
How much of all the good we planned
+ perfect or begun?
WHO watched the lifting Of Gods hand
And waits for his well done!
But when the children whom we love
The good we missed fulfil.
Thank God our hearts prevail TO prove
The hearts OF children still.

THE YEARS BUSINESS

The interviews with merchants
published in the EXPRESS yester-
day and today make most graft
flying showing for the town. A
year that has had its ups and
downs is wound up with a holiday
trade unparalleled in the history of
the town. Not only has the holi-
day trade been exceptionally good
but business has been extremely
good during the entire fall. AL
though the town and country have
had some great difficulties to con-
tend with, it seems likely that
when the books are footed up at
the close Of the year, a satisfact-
ory showing will appear.
Considering the adverse circum-
1 stances which our merchants have
had to meet, the resul S are all the
more gratifying. The long drouth
last spring disheartened the far
incrs and put a general quietus on
trade. Ii also cut the wheat crop
short. Then came the closing OF
che machine shops which was a
severe blow to the town.
With the beginning of the fall
months, the shops were opened and
gradually with the revival Of
railroad traffic, the number Of men
in the shops and in all departments
Of railroad work was increased.
When the cotton crop came on the
market, these influences together
with the starting up of the oil mill
gins etc, broue 1t an impetus tc
trade which was not slackened til
the stump in cotton prices. At the
time the stump occurred, farmer;
had marketed large part Of theil
cotton and were getting in gooc
shape. When cotton prices wen
to pieces, however. the effect wa'
discouraging and consumers be-
came more conservative.
s Another element that should b
, noted is the fine corn crop whicl
: brought good prices.
S It is the opinion of many quail
2 fed to speak that the outlook 70
business during the next year !
extremely bright. With tn
conditions now prevailing and witt
anything like favorable crop con
/ ditions during the coming year
these hopes ought to find abundan
fruition.

Duties of Major McCawley on White
House staff Enlarged to Meet Re-

Major Charles L. McCawley. L. S. NJ.
c.. has been assigned to give his entire
time to White House social matters So
extensive is the entertainment of Mrs.
Roosevelt that Col. r. w Symons. mill
tary aide to the President. and in charge
Of the White House, has been led to
take this step. Major McCawley will
have fuller sway this winter than he has
ever had before, although he has been
on the military staff of the President
for years.
The military aide formerly looked after
the details of social functions himself
but the duties have become so numerous
that the change is necessary. Major
McCawley will have his office in the
Lemon Building. with the Department Of
Public Buildings and Grounds. Colonel
Symons will have the general direction
of social functions. and. as before. will
have charge of the White House. and
will stand next to the President at re-
ceptions as head of the STAFF.
Lieutenant David r. Sellers has been
appointed 90 the staff within the last
week. The staff consists of ten. though
II has not been long since it numbered
but four. The approach Of the diplo-
rIatic reception and state dinners is
causing much work at the White House.
An entirely new floral scheme for the
tables is being prepared by direction of
Mrs. Roosevelt.
