A SERMON

A SERMON.
The best of us will make mistakes
Don't criticise au1lisar chap
Nor hold him guilty for his breaks,
The chance of some unseen mishap.
To err is human, but divine
1t is a neighbor to forgive.
Your faults, no doubt, are less than mine,
SO let us charitably live.
This life at best is passing brief
For kindly words and noble deeds;
The flight of times beyond belief,
So swiftly every hour speeds.
Therefore, it doth behoove each one
To practice arts of pity here,
Lest, when too late, some evil done
May wiring from us a bitter tear.
Faith, hope and charity are named
BY those who'd reach the purer skies
The last of these, when we are blamed,
Above its two companions lies.
Forbearance is the gentlest trait
That e'er a mortal wight may learn,
To pay his fee at heavens gate
And of his sins forgiveness earn.
what kind of an American are your

A HARD LIFE.

A HARD LIFE.
The trolley car conductor
Has many woes to bear,
In keeping pace with traffic
And taking up the fare.
He stops before a woman
Who fumbles in her purse
For five or ten slow minutes
1t couldn't be much worse.
And all this time he's waiting,
As patient as can be,
While no one else observing
Is half as calm as he.
And when she finds her nickle
She gives a cry of JOY
And then refuses fatty
To pay for her little boy!

TO CONVERT SEWAGE
INTO FERTILIZER

river might be made 10 yield daily a
great quantity OF the pest possible fer
tilIzer, and Plass holds that even Il
the product no more than paid for the
necessary plant, the economic saving
by returning this material to the farms
would be worth while.
II am convinced" says Plass, that
the time is not far distant when the
farms will be so impoverished, as re-
suit of failure TO make adequate
fertilizing return for the products
which absorb the richness of the soil,
that the struggle for existence will be-
come as keen as in older countries.
