In these days, when economy OF
time and space are of the highest i'm
portance, 1t seems to me that some
of the conventionalities of corresponds
ence might well be abolished.
Why should we write Dear sir," }"
and then make pause and begin
a fresh line? Why could not all we
have to say flow straight on in the
same line from Dear sir?"
Again, why should we take three
lines-and this, perhaps, is more i'm.
portant-over the conclusion of our
letters? 1t strikes me that it would
be infinitely simpler and more con-
venient if you concluded letter thus:
az am, dear sir, your obedient serv
ant Ed'ard Cutie" all in one line.
Can anyone tell me the reason of this
custom and when it was originated? :?

Two Famous Pioneer Trees.

Two of the most famous pioneer
trees in the west have well merited
place in history. These were the
Lone Jack tree and the Lone Elm.
The first is in western Missouri
and the second in eastern Kansas. A
good pioneer horsaman might have
covered the distance between them
in day. At the Lone Jack tree a
great battle was fought during the
civil war. At the Lone Elm caravans
over the Santa Fe trail halted for the
night and here were united two
branches Of the famous old trail

Labor's Dawn.
The toiler's day begins to dawn,
Its golden morn comes gently on:
Yon mountain rises from the night
with helmet gilded with its light.
There high appears the mornings glow.
While black extends the night below,
Where prowl the creatures Of the dark.
Where still Is heard the watchdog's bark.
The light that tips yon mountains crest
& Portends the age of darkness past;
THAT gloomy night shall lose It's sway
]; The world Of toll shall have its day.
The clouds that clothe the mountains
s. side
Begin to fall apart, divide:
The day shall follow break Of dawn
And labor come unto its own.
Shall peace not usher In the day:
On cloud and crag shall lightning play
Shall thunders voice the vale awake
> And wild the storm in fury break.
Shall rather reasons ray serene
with soft effulgence light the scene.
"A world where love and labor reign,
With peace on earth. good will to man.
