The man that rocks
the boat"

Is there any word in the English language
that would fttingy express your contempt and
disgust of the man that rocks the boat?'
He not only endangers his life, but
endangers the lives of those who are so unfor-
tunate as to be with him.
And yet how many people are daily doing
just as stupid things either through igno-
rance or indifference?
Do you realize that thousands of prevent
able deaths and an untold amount of suffering
are caused every year by milk?
Hundreds of earnest men are spending their
time and money in trying to teach you that
innocent-looking
Mix is often a deadly poison;
that it is responsible for thousands of
cases of typhoid fever scarlet fever, and
diphtheria every year;
that if is responsible for the major
ity of the deaths of little children in the
summer time through dySentery and
other Intestinal diseases;
that it SOUS the seeds of consump-
tiOn IN the systems of the young.
What kind of milk are you letting your
family drink? Do you know? Have you ever
visited the dairy? You have a standing invi-
tation to come and visit our dairy and if you
can suggest any way in which it can be made
more perfect we shall be glad to know it.
1t IS your duty to be sure that you are get
ting milk that is free from disease germs you
didn't think it was so important matter" is
mighty poor consolation when you see some
dear one, whose life was intrusted to your care,
laid in the grave The man that rocks the
boat" doesn't think that he'll upset t-until
it is too late.
And remember that it's the children and
the delicate members of your family who are
most likely to contract diseases through impure
mlk-"the man that rocks the boat" usually
manages to save his own skin.
You can avoid all danger by letting US sup

The Stranger Within.

Ten thousand faces on the street,
And not one face l know;
Ten thousand souls 1 daily meet,
Whene'er l come and go.
Ten thousand hearts, both grave and gay
All moving here and there;
Ten thousand people on their way,
And only God knows where.
Ten thousand lights to shed their rays
Upon the city'S night;
Ten thousand joys within her ways,
But none for me in sight.
For OH this endless stream of life,
Which others live to bless,
Where lights and gayety are rife,
Adds to my loneliness.
Ten thousand hopes dashed to the earth,
To molder with the years,
Ten thousand miles from land of birth,
Ten thousand idle tears.
And yet the souls, both grave and gay,
They neither know nor care;
Then thousand still upon their way,
And only God knows where.

The Aspen Tree.

The little aspen tree stands high
Upon the hill that guards the lane:
Her leaves are green as emeraldS,
Her prattle is like dancing rain;
She gossips to the wind, the sky,
And we are comrades, she and l.
climb the hill at even fall;
She stands so high she may look down.
And whisper me if you have turned
The winding highway from the town,
And in the winds arm bend to see
And murmur that you haste to me.
And with her hundred voices tell
Each step you take to reach my s1de'
And laugh in merry mockery
Pretend to scold and weep and chide,
And stand a moment mute in grief
Then laugh with every rustling leaf
And when at last you take my hands
And call my name in mimicry,
She chatterS it a dozen times,
And then, in gay and elfish glee,
Attunes her happy leaves to this
The lisping cadence Of kiss.

The Question Whittier,

When we have thrown off this old suit,
So much in need of mending,
To sink among the naked mute,
Is that, think you, our ending?
We follow many, more we lead,
And you who sadly turf US,
Believe not that all living seed
Must flower above the surface.
Sensation is a gracious gift,
But were it cramped to station,
The prayer to have it cast adrift
Would sprout from all sensation.
Enough if we have winked to sun,
Have sped the pillow a season;
There is a soul for labor done,
Endureth fixed as reason.
Then let our trust be firm in Good,
Though we be of the fasting;
Our questions are a mortal brood,
Our Work is everlasting.
We children of Beneficence
Are in it's being sharers;
And Whittier Vainer sounds than Whence,
For word with such wayfarers.

Beside the woodland brook,
Deep in the ferny fringes,
There is an ancient sylvan book
With silver clasp and hinges.
On pages gray and stained,
By wind and weather smitten,
Through years the records have remained
AS fresh as when first written.
Green are the lyric themes
Upon the granite pages,
Repeating the delights and dreams
Of many bygone ages.

Your happy child the brook is;
She turns to music every rhyme,
And hers this precious book is!

Two Lessons.
A plant in the window grew and grew,
But it yielded naught that was fair to
view;
It's form was ugly; its leaves held stings
That pierced and tortured like evil
things.
And daily and yearly it seemed akin
To life of selfishness, hate and sin,
And on blazing sunshine it joyed to feed,
AS if gathering fire for deadliest deed.
But at last one day a rich perfume
Rose incenselike that filled the room,
And To- on the plant a flower fair,
Like the spirit of purity resting there.
Then I thought how the years dragged
apace
Ere the birth of that bloom of marvel
Gus grace,
And 1 saw in the flower, so wondrously
planned,
Two beautiful lessons, simple yet grand.
The ugliest shape may be found to hold
A soul of the purest, loveliest mold,
And blossom time comes, be it soon or
late,
For him who has patience to work and
wait.
