4 Tribute from Julius M. ciapp.

So Charley Butler has crossed the
great divide. Dear old Charley. How
we shall miss him and that smile and
his cheerfulness.
What striking personality and love-
able disposition that old boy had. And
now, with a goodly number of the old
crowd, he is over into that new existence
which awaits us all.
Yes, can see Charley perched on the
fence by the side of some golden street
Gf they have fences) with Ed. Annable,
Lew Andrews, Sam Lamont and a half
dozen others, living over the old days
and keeping their eyes on the pearly
gates for Lew arrivals.
No one N be more missed at our
home coming, and no one enjoyed these
reunions more than Charley did. He was
one of my old time out-in- the-country
chums. We have camped and studied
and worked and played together, but |
recall with the greatest pleasure and sat
isfaction those winters when he taught
up in the little red school house.
What conditions he had to contend
with, and how equal to every occasion he
was. How we loved him, and how the
LATEST of us would work to please him
And those nights when we all tumbled
in behind Deming's roam mares or behind
our little greys and met the Wildey
school for a spell. down!
And how that "red haired gal" always
pulled us through Dear, dear, dear,
what havoc she made with our hearts,
and how we envied Charley, who seemed
to always have the whip-row on US.
So Charley will not be there when |
come on in August. Well, l am glad for
him that he's having full compensation
for all he'll miss.
There are other good fellows left OF
the old boys and girls, the lines 10 whose
faces branch upward as those in Charley s
face did, and not downward as most face
lines do, and we'll shout and hurrah
and tee hee and haw haw until we too
join Charley and the others at that great
nome coming.
Let US have all we can out of this
beautiful old world, and then have
Heaven too.
Charley always helped and never
hindered, lifted up and never pulled
down, and my life has been happier and
jollier because / knew and loved him.
This is a gay old world when you're gay,
And glad old world when you're glad,
But whether you play
Or 90 toiling away,
It's sad old world when you're sad.
It's a beautiful world TO see
Or it's dismal in every zone;
The thing il must be
In its gloom o. its glec
Depends on yourself alone"

SYM PTOMS OF OLD AGE.
II You Have Them, You May Know
You Are Declining.

If You Have Them, You May Know
You Are Declining.
Here are the three deadly symptoms
of old age:
Selhshness - Stagnation - Intoler-
ance.
If we find them in ourselves, we
may know we are growing old-eveR
if we are OIL the merry side of thirty
But happily, we have three defenses,
which are inyulnerable; if We use
them we shall die young If we live to
be a hundred. They are:
Sympathy-Progress-Tolerance.
The first is the hardest to most of
us, because our little prison of Actual
is so immensely important to u.s.
There is no denying the fact that
when you have a toothache yourself,
1t is hard to have to consider other
peoples aches. But it can be done
though it generally involves physical
effort, for we must bestir ourselves
and act; the mere feeling of sympathy
expressed by action is poor, useless
thing; but the Soul, determined not to
grow old, can force the Body to such
physical effort, though there is no de-
nying that 1t is hard work.-Harper's
Bazaar.

Common Errors.

Josephine Turck Baker, editor of Cor

attention to the common abuses of our
language. Concerning careless speakers
she says:
Ii is the careless speaker who says 81

dislkes to be told of their mistakes" 1t
makes one think of the Siamese twins,
to hear person refer to himself as
"they" One wonders how many there
are of him anyway; for they is such an
indefinite number; at the least, never less
than two. Instead of the plural number
their, following the singular number one,
let the offender remember this simple
rule, that the "masculine" embraces the
feminine" even in grammar: and here
after let him say, 81 know | make many
mistakes, but one dislikes to be told of

Mr.. Barnes spoke about the "spas-
modic" farmer, who perhaps sprays one
year, plows the next, and fertilizes some
other year; the only hope for this farmer
is in having more spasDas. A neglected

able pests against which the owner OF
neighboring orchards must tight.
Supt. L. A. Farrand of the South Ha-
ven Experiment station gave short
talk on Fruits for Western Michigan.
He said location was the whole thing for
peaches. They should be at high
elevation. The influence of Lake Mich
igan is favorable for peach growing. The
farther from the lake the greater must
be the elevation.
All kinds of large and small fruits can
be and are grownin Western Michigan,
but our speciaties in this county are
grapes and peaches. Some places in the
county are adapted to small fruits, but
they have no means OF outlet. An cleo
trio road would result in more setting OF
small fruits.
On being asked what temperature
would kill peach buds, he said this de,
ponds on the condition of the buds.
Sometimes -l5o would kill them, and
sometimes they would stand 200.

Used the blade to shave his stubble.

Which pleased little Willie dearly

Fed the cat boracic acid
Whereupon the cat grew frantic,
Executing many an antic;

Arthur with lighted taper
Touched the fire TO grandpa's paper,
Grandpa leaped foot or higher,
Dropped the sheet, and shouted "Fire!'

Heat creates both light and notion"

All That Could BE Found OF Him-Cham-

was almost entirely hgrseS away from

trunks were brought out In succession.
After nightfall the entrance to the
mine was converted into a veritable
chamber Of horrors, the awfulness of
which was intensified by the flicker
ing of the lamps, as the feeble rays fell
upon the mangled and bleeding frag-
ments of human flesh strewn about the
entrance
Many stout-hearted mem who had
been assisting in the work Of rescue
