Hot Around PuyalIup.

PUYALLUP, Aug. 2.-The intense
heat has driven many berry pickers to
their tents and the shade. The night
brought some relief, but it was a very
trying night, as there was no wind
and the air was close. The raspber-
ries are now On the wane and the
picking of early blackberries will begin
Ibis week. There will be an immense
crop. The talk of a shortage of pick
ers is due to secure work in the rasp-
berries, owing to a crop shortage but
most growers of the blackberries ap-
prehend no trouble in securing enough
pickers to harvest the crop.

THE PASSING YEARS.
Zach One Brings a 5etterment

The fugitive years follow each Other
on their appointed rounds. To soma
they come in too rapid succession-lifai

thoughts and experience OF others they
drag tediously along and seem as X
the end was infinite distances away.
In youth the years are too long. In.
8 they are too short. At the be-
ginning OF the Journey Of life IL seems
as IL II never would come 70 an end.
Toward Its SctOse IL seems as II the end
would be reached far In advance Of
its established period.
But In reality time does not fly more
rapidly Tor the, old man than II does

ument measuring the distance which
we have travelled Is also a monitor
with its lessons and Misunderstanding
a message OF reproos or OF consolation
and hope AS the Judgment OF time

They are timely thoughts as we pass

its successor come with its new tasks
and trials, its missions OF duty and its
hopes OF accomplishment. 1t Is all be-
fore us. II has Its Iabors and It's re-
wards awaiting every day and every
hour.
1t is not necessary In order to gain
the rewards of conscientious endeavor
that the activities OF life should be
wearing and unintermittent. Readiness,
Willingness, the spirit to do and TO
suffer N necessary fulfil the demands
pf duty. As Milton says
They also serve who stand and
wait.
1t is a subject fer universal congrat-
ulation that each passing year brings
betterment TO mankind. The improve
ments which science and experiment
have made the common property OF
ithe world are evidence that an ever
lowing and benevolent Providence con-
itrols the events OF our existence. Each
passage OF the earth through its orbit
brings countless blessings In human
amelioration. The benefits OF nature
and progress descend ultimately upon
all, like vcrnal showers and summer
,dews.
For every gift which the times and
seasons bring we owe a constantly ac-
cumulating debt Of gratitude to the
source whence all blessings flow. We
may best a debt by the exercise
;of charity-by dividing with Others
more needy the bounty which we pos
'sess. This is the highest form of wor-
ship.
