Ny Fellow Citizens:
No people on earth have more

conditions which have enabled us to

foundations of our national life in

the ages, and yet we have had to
pay few of the penalties which In old
countries are exacted by the dead
hand of bygpne civilization. We
have not been obliged to fight for
our existence against any alien race;
and yet our life has called for the
vigor and effort without which the
manlier and harder virtues wither
away. Under such conditions 1t
would be our own fault If we failed;
and the success which we have had
In the past, the success which we con-
fidently believe the future will bring.

glory, but rather deep and abiding
realization of all which life has Of
fered us: full acknowledgment of
the responsibility which is ours; and
a fixed determination to show that
under free government a mighty
people can thrive best, alike as re-
CARDS the things of the body and the
things of the soul.
Much has been given to us, and
much will rightfully be expected from
us. We have duties to others and
duties to ourselves; and we can shirk
neither. We have become a great ma

Eace-Ilke Flower.

The blossoms of the sehubertia. a
plant which is found in Central Amer
lea. form the exact counterpart Of the
features of an old man. The top OF
the head is as smooth as the proverbi-
al billiard ball, and the forehead is
wrinkled. The eyebrows are project
ing, the eyes piercing from their sunk
en- orbits. the nose prominent, the
cheeks receding and lined; the long
white beard is perfect. and the pro-
portions of the head are apparently
correct. The sehubertia belongs to
the orchid family, but as it grows
chiefly in places that are most mac
cessible, specimens are rarely seen
except by travellers. Attempts to
grow the plant in this country have
proved futile.-Montreal Herald.

duty is to be well done, remains essen
tally unchanged. We know that self
government is difficult. We know that
no people needs such high traits of
character as that people which seeks
to govern its affairs Alright through
the freely expressed will of the free
men who compose it. But we have
faith that we shall not prove false to
the memories of the men of the
mighty past. They did their work,
they left us the splendid heritage we
now enjoy. We in our turn have an
assured confidence that we shall be
able to leave this heritage unwasted
and enlarged to our children and our
children's children. To do SO we must
show. not merely in great crises. but.
In the everyday affairs of life, theS
