NEW EARLY MORNING.

vestcr Jaws wounds which smarted

An. healed with the healing which
night has shed.
yesterday now is a part of forever:
Bound up in a sheaf which God holds
tight,
with glad days. and sad days, and bad
days which never
shall visit us more than their bloom
and their blight.
Their fullness Of sunshine or sorrow

"Lrt them so, since we cannot relieve
them,
Cannot undo and cannot atone:
God in his mercy receive, forgive them.
only the new days are our own;
Today is ours and today alone.
'4Iorc are the skies all FURNISHED

Here is the spent earth all reborn,
Here are the tired limbs springing
lightly
To face the sun and to share with
the morn.
I'm the chrism of due and the cool of
dawn.

Listen my soul to the glad refrain,
And. spite Of old sorrow and older sin

Inc of1ce from which Miss Jones
manages her business is situated in
one corner of the square brick build
ing or the plant at South Chicago. On

Vi the room is a small vase of freshly
picked flowers, but aside from this TIE
atmosphere is strictly one of business.
mere business callers are received,
their business listened to, and the ques-
ions that arise settled firmly and
with expedition.
The readiness to meet every exigency
that appears, the apparently complete
grasp of the young woman in the man
ayers chair, are what create the
strongest impression upon the visitor.
And always, no matter how complex
the question or how annoying and
trying the affairs of the day, they are
met with a cheerful smile-a smile that
does not cover completely the solid
nrmness of the mouth and chin.
Directs Erection of New Plant.
The recent purchase of the property
upon Whick Miss Jones plant is stu
ated by the south park board made it
necessary to seek another place for the
construction of the new and larger
works. A suitable site has found on
the state boundary line at One Hun
dred and Fourth street and there the
new plant will be erected. All the de-
tails of the deal were in the hands OF
Miss Jones. 1t was she who selected
the new site and it will be under l,er
supervision and on her plans that the
plant will be built
The work involved in the manage
ment of a business of the size would
seem to call for the entire time and
energies of any one person. But des-
pite the fact that she is an indefatiSa-
bic worker Miss Jones has found
enough time to devote to social duties.

keep longer.
If care is taken to send only flowers
that keep well, the joy and pleasure
will be heightened to gaze. upon the
fresh, sweet tokens
When sending flowers to the sick in
the place where you live, select a
strong card board box that is fiat and
shallow. so there may be but one layer.
Cover the box with some bright colored
crepe paper; it win take but a few
minutes of time. and make a more at
tractive box for the flowers This is
but a trifie, but trifies go to make up
life. and will bring a smile to some
ones face. When the box is uncovered
there will come the delightful odor of
the flowers, a gentle reminder of the
giver; and in the heart there will be
kindly thought because of the consid
Grafton. Line the box with the light
weight paper that florists use, then
place in the bottom of the box some
good green, as sprays of smilaX maid
enhair or other ferns. Lemon verbena
and rose geranium leaves have very
pleasant odor TO most sick persons;
sprays of mignonette and the different
kinds of asparagus are all good
Put the flowers on the top of the
green. having all the flowers lay one
way, arranged so they will look their
prettiest when the box is opened, and
tuck among the flowers a little note of
love, or an appropriate quotation. This
will be evidence that it was sent with
heartfelt sympathy. and an unfailing
sign that thought and love prevailed.
Now wrap with clean white wrapping
paper, having no trace of former use,
tie neatly, and the box is ready to go
on its mission, some good in the world
to do.
This kindly thought will long be re-
memberea by the sick. and at the same

Abraham Lincoln had only a few
months of schooling" but manJ years
o. education. A writer in MeClur"s
tells how the future President WA edn-
Gated in his boyhood as debater ard
al orator
One man in Gentryville, Ind, Mr..
Jones, the storekeeper, took Louisville
paper, and here Lincoln went regularly
to read and discuss it's contents. All
the men and boys of the neighborhood
gathered there, and everything which the
paper related was subjected to their Keen,
shrewd common sense.
1t was not long before young Idncoln
became the favorite member of the group,
and the one listened to most eagerly.
Young Lincoln was not only Winning a
reputation as a debater and story teller,
he was becoming known as kind OF
backwoods orator.
He could repeat with effect all the
poems and speeches in his various school
readers; he could initiate to perfection
the wandering preachers who came to
Gentryville, and he could make political
speech so stirring that he drew a crowd
about him every time he mounted a
stump.
The applause he won was sweet; ana
frequently he INDUCED his gifts when he
ought to have been at work-so thought
his employers and Thomas, his father.
1t was trying, no doubt, to the hard
pushed farmers, to see the men who
ought to have, been cutting grass or chop
ping wood throw down their sickles or
axes to group around boy whenever he
mounted a stump TO develop a pet theory
or repeat, with variations, yesterday S
sermon.
In his fondness for speechmaking he
attended all the trials Of the neighbor-
hood. and frequently walked fifteen miles
to Boonyille to attend court
He wrote as we'll as made speeches,
and some Of his productions were even
nrinted through the influence of his ad-
miring neighbors; thus a local Baptist
preacher was so struck with one OF Abra-
hams essays on temperance that he sent
IT TO Ohio, where it appeared In some
local paper. Another article on Nation

vicinity that he declared the world

Hardly q living thing was left upon

Occasionally a strong wind sent q
