A little more tired at close of day;
 A little less anxious to have our way; A little less ready to scold and blame,
 A little more care for a brother name; And so we are nearing the journeys end
 Where time and eternity meet and blend A little less care for bonds and gold,
 little more zest in the days of old;
 A broader view and a saner mind,
 And little more love for all mankind; And so we are faring a-down the way. A little more love for the friends of youth, Alittle less zeal for established truth;
 A little more charity in our views, A little less thirst for the daily news; And so we are folding our tents away And passing in silence at close of day. A little more leisure to sit and dream, A little more real the things unseen; A little nearer to those ahead,
 With visions of those long and dead And so we are going to where all must go, To the place the living may never know. A little more laughter, a little more tears, And we shall have told our increasing years The book is closed and the prayers are said And we are part of the countless dead.

IT ALWAYS MIGHT BE WORSE

A Chicago girl, unnamed in the story. is quoted by Windy City contemporary as hay
 ing said recently, with considerably more force than elegance ''It is h. to hang onto street car strap, with seventeen bundles under your arms, and watch silver -harnessed bulldogs rid. ing by in 60-horsepower automobiles"
 It may be what she says it is, whatever that is but she forgets, or neglects to take advantage of g philosophical conclusion suggested by her sit nation that might be invoked to her relief and employed to the purpose of restoring whatever optimism she may have possessed in the (we hope) not too distant past. There is something of an apparent advantage in hanging to a strap with seventeen bundles under one $ arms. for instance, when compared with the status of some other people we might mention. There are people who cannot afford even to hang to strap, not to mention their nonpossession of the seventeen bundles, which must have con- tanned articles of creature comfort of one kind or another. This interesting Chicago girl might Keep her eyes and her mind off the slver-har messed bulldogs in the 60-horsepower automo- bile passing by, and devote her mental faculties to contemplation of her lowlier sisters. who mayhap are at the moment walking home from dlngy factory somewhere mile or two away. With no bundles of any sort under their arms. and nothing much more than cheerlessness ahead at home. It is barely possible that she might find the picture inducive not only of sweeter, nobler thoughts, but certainly of better language.
 This Chicago girl need not fool herself. Noth- Ing IS so bad it cannot be worse-not even a strap hangers lot and the bundles she needs must pack under her arms as she hangs. Not that. i've have any particular use for silver har messed bulldogs, either We think we could sur vlve the abolition of those animals and their sometimes proud estate; but we decline to con slder their presence on earth conclusive evi dence that the general situation may be-what the Chicago girl says it is.
