Our little town has suddenly be.

some days ago and decided who
should represent us In the legislature

THE PASSING YEARS.
BY WALTER ELMO CHoRrENsInG.

How the years are rolling onwardI
Scarce is the new year born
Ere he walks. then runs away
And leaves us here TO mourn.
Behind his shadow comes another
With his beguiling smile:
He. TOO. runs away and leaves us
Before we've gone n mile.
SO the wisc have learned the lesson
That 10 run In this race.
When he starts 10 running faster.
They must increase their pace.
For the wise are used 10 running.
And only sluggsrds sleep
When they should be up and sowing
If they expect 70 reap.
