BLOOD

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or stave, as our
blood is rich or poor. There is
nothing else to live on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high we are being re-
freshed-bone, muscle and
brain, in body and mind-with
continual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits, no
cheer, no spring, when rest is
not rest and sleep is not sleep,
We are starved; our blood is
poor; there is little nutriment
in it.
Back of the blood is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take

mourn the loss OF man OF rare sweet
ness OF character. The following apprc-
ciative tribute is from the Boston Tran
| script
Mr. Buckham's first book. The Heart
of Life was published in 1897 and was
Lovingly Inscribed to My Wife 1t dis
closes the same deep love of nature and
Gods thought behind It that are seen in
all his separate poems, written previous
~ for ma gazines and other publications.
In 1909 Where Town and Country Meet
was given to the public--the one of Mr..
Buckham's nature books that was his
favorlte. In 1905, after a severe illness.
appeared his 'Wayside Altar, a record
of living experiences.
MIR, Buckham's last book 'Afcld
with the Seasons published early last
autumn with illustrations adapted TO
the different seasons Of the year, is a
record Of the close student Of nature In
all Mr., Buckham's work his character is
read: it pervodcs it ALL"
Mr.. Buckhams's poem "Individuality"
so expresses his life purpose that it may
well close this sketch:
Will not strive hey ond my strength
To do what other men have done,
Nor lay my yard-stick length bv length
Along the life of any one,
My life shall out. What IN it lies
OF hope, of strength, of sacred frc
To make that clear to all mems eyes
Is my supreme, my sole desire.
| am: and what | am | am
Nor evermore could other be.
God shall not write me down a sham:
III own the name lie giveth me.
