A Bit of Advice.

Oh! fussy folks who fret AMI fume
And carp and sneer and criticise,
Whose presence puts an end to peace,
From whom all pleasure quickly flies;
Who never yet have found place,
A person, function. thing, or cline
To suit your aggravating souls,
Don't wear your rufiles all the time.
You make your troubles for yourself,
And ruffle others as you go;
You want December when it's May,
And sigh for roses in the snow;
You hate to hear the children laugh,
You think frolic is crime;
For other peoples sake, pray,
Don't wear your ruiiles all the time.
You tire the single life, perhaps,
''No boarding round" you say "for
me,
l mean to wed and settle down,
And take some comfort, yes sireeV
But you're at odds with Hymen ere
The marriage bells have ceased to
chin.
Just take a bit Of good advice
Don't wear your ruiiles all the time.
Your train is never fast enough,
Your paper is not fit to read.
Your tailor cuts your garments wrong,
The drama, too, has gone to seed,
The waiter does not know his place,
The dinner is not worth dime
'Tis thus you're always finding fault,
Don't wear your rufIles all the time.
For when you climb the starry stairs
That leads above this earthly sphere,
An angel at the door will say.
"You cannot wear your ruilles here. "
So II you ever wish to see
The mansions Of the blest sublime,
And mIngle with the seraphs there.
Don't wear your rufIles all the time.

Discussing the alarming and

supply, the Louisville Herald
says; eve Americans are coming
to face the fact that our forestry
resources, once so great, are al
most depleted. The high prices
of lumber tells the story. And
along with the disappearing lum-
Der comes the drying up of
streams and consequently sud-
den floods. Indeed, the face of
the continent is being changed
by the cutting of the forests.
We have acted as if the bounte-
GUS provisions of nature would
last forever. We have been
more than extravagant. We
have been more wantonly waste
full in destruction. Only in re-
cent years has it been possible
to interest the Government in
forest preservation, and the
growing of trees. 1t is now
greatly aroused. But the States
have done very little to help.
There is great need for a strong
public sentiment that will call for
the preservation of trees and
planting of new forests. j."
