eyes were like stars. A faint glow

soul

after that he and Bobbie walked in the
garden arm in arm. and they talked
of books and of men. but not of Miss

SELF EXAMINATION.

Take a trial balance
OF your life and learn
If there's loss or profit
In your own concern,
If from daily living
More could not be won
II you took a tumble
To yourself, my son.
Are you going forward. @
Up advancement's hill.
Or in sluggish comfort
Are you standing still?
Have you on life's ledger
Something more to show
Than you had in writing
Just a week ago?
Such an easy matter
Getting in rut;
Door to innovation
Seems forever shut.
In a narrow circle
Round and round you glide
Like the wooden horses
That the children ride.
There are depths to fathom,
There are heights to scale.
But you cannot reach them
In your mental jail.
Mount the train of progress,
Swearing by the gods
II you have no ticket
You will ride the rods.

Carmack candidates for the legislature
are Withdrawing and allowing Patter-
son men to be nominated. II platform

like that of two years ago when every
thing possible was done to handicap
the Governor and prepare thunder for

in such a complete victory for the
Little Giant Of Democracy"
