FAITH THE TRUE BUILDER.
The Good Citizen in Any Community
 Must Believe in It's Future.

A man has no moral right to re- side in d city unless he has absolute faith in it. He is doing himself an injustice If he lives in a place in which he has no faith. He can not hope to be a good citizen as he otherwise would be, unless he has that faith.
 By having faith in a city it is not meant that one should close his eyes to it's imperfections. Indeed, if he has faith in it, it is because he under stands its weaknesses as well as it's strength. He must have the determi- nation to correct the weakness and to take advantage of the strength.
 Life is so short. and so much de- bends upon the attitude of the mind toward ones home. that no man can afford to live in a city in which he has lost faith. If for any reason he loses faith. he should leave. He is not doing himself justice. and he is doing the city an injus;ice to live in it if he has no faith in it's future. Life is going to be a failure to him.
 Location is a matter of inheritance. or luck, or coincidence with many people. But there are thousands of persons in every city who go there voluntarily, because something in the place. some opportunity, appeals to them. There are people living in this city who could live anywhere they desire. There are some who might even make a little more money if located elsewhere. And it is these people who come here voluntarily. who remain here after learning the local conditions who decide that there is no better place to live than this it is the opinion of such residents that ought to give confidence and faith to those who may be living here. because faith threw them here. with no choice on their part.

The Old Swimming Hole That Shrank

Sandy was the most wonderful spot in the world. It was. as most swimming holes are, on the down stream side of a bridge. The little river widened out. on it's way through the meadows, here and there into swimming holes of greater or less desirability. There was Lob's Pond. by the mill. and Deep Pool. and Musk Rat and Little Sandy. But Sandy was the best of them all. It was shaded on one side by great trees, and the banks were hidden from the road by alder screens. At one end there was shelving bottom. of clean sand, where the little kids who couldn't swim sported in safety. Under the oppo- site bank the water ran deep for diving. And in midstream the pool was so very deep that nobody had ever been able to find the bottom there. In the other holes, you could hold your hands over your head and go down till your feet touched. with out wetting your fingers. But not the longest fish-line had ever been long enough to plumb Sandy's depths. Indeed, it was popularly believed that there was no bottom in Sandy, and a mythical horn bout, of gigantic proportions, was supposed to inhabit its dark. watery abyss.
 Old Hundred and I stood on the bridge and looked down on little pool. 'I could jump across it now he sighed. But I wish 1t were warmer day. I'd go in. just the same"
 There was a honk up the road. and a touring car jolted over the boards behind us. with a load of veils and goggles. The dust sifted through the bridge and we heard it batter on the water below.
 T fancy there's more travel now said I. And the alder screen seems to be gone. Perhaps we'd better not go 1T"
 Old Hundred leaned pensively over the white rail-the sign of a state highway; for the dusty old turnpike was now converted into a gray strip of macadam road. torn by the auto mobiles, with a trolley track at one side-From The Shrinking of King mans Field" by Walter Prichard Eaton in the October Scribner.

The annual ball of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, DIVISION
No. 9s. was seriously interferred with
Inv King Boreas. Monday evening was
wet and rainy and windy, making 1T
disagreeable to go outside OF tne
doors of ones own home, and for
this reason the attendance at the Dall
was not nearly so large as was to
have been expected from the number
of tickets sold. But despite the un-
toward weather conditions there was
a goodly attendance. Nearly one hun
dred couples took part in the grand
march, and fully three hundred spec
tators sat in the balcony and enjoyed
listening to the excellent music AMI
watching the dancers.
The Auditorium was tastefully dec
GRATED with patriotic colors, and rail-
way signal lights of red, white and
blue were strung iavishly about. From
the stage a huge locomotive head
light shone out upon the dancers.
The grand march was led by the
chairman of the ball committee, MT
]. f. Duffy, and his daughter, MISS
Anna. From it's close until midnight
the enjoyment was shared in by tn;
hundreds present. The committees
having the ball in charge were as
follows:
Ball committee-J. F. Duffy, chair
man. w. T. Leahy, Fred Farquar, Z
Hook and ID. Helming.
Floor committee. E. Johnson ant
E. Bignell.
Reception committee-J. S. McCo!
and wife, John Gleason and wife, A
l.. Clayberg and wife, Edward Ra'i
singer and wife, and A. ]. Bignei
and wife.
During the evening refreshments
coffee. sandwiches and punch wer
served. and this feature was by n
means overlooked.
Measured from the social stanf
point the ball was complete success
and the engineers are not complain
ing about the financial success. TIL

Ieaaizing that his perception of the

no single battle in the war for liberty.
VINO can doubt that he saw, beyond
the slave of the cotton field driven to
work, the advancing shadow of the

Abraham Lincoln's memory was
celebrated last week in all kinds OF
ways, by all kinds of people and from
all kinds of motives. Pagans deif1ed
him for the ephemeral things ne had
done; others honored him for the
eternal spirit that led him on. Re-
actionaries celebrated his dead and
gone achievements; progressives drew
inspiration from his ideals. Literal
.sts confined mis- words for liberty to
t. e marrow ard temporary occasion of
the anti-slavery struggle; national
minds gave to them the breadth and
scope of the irreoressible conflict be-
tween special privilege and common
right, os which the anti-slavery strug-
gle was but a passing phase. For
ourselves, we regard Lincoln as
greater than his epoch. Backward
over the course of history he saw in
other forms the very conflict in which
in one of it's forms he was a par
ticipant; forward into the mysterious
future he glimpsed still other forms
of that same conflict. In homely
phrase he described the spirit of the
defenders OF privilege in all ages, past
