OF Jan. u
That same morn some gay young people
hearts and minds on pleasure bent,
Had sci out upon the water full OF picnic
Joys intent
some in rowboats; some in motors; Others
still IN swift canoes:
All light hearted, careless creatures little
boding fateful news.
Stores OF good things they took with them
for their feast at high noon tide,
| Thinking of the cool groves welcome at
the waters edge beside.
One OF them had journeyed singly in a
| submarine he'd made,
just to try the skill and cunning which
he never yet essayed,
| Long and late he'd worked upon il, never
dreaming the renown
Which in store for him was waiting faith
full efforts soon 10 crown.
Twas her maiden trip that morning, just
trial run he gave
And quite TO his satisfaction she was
riding meath the wave.
All went well with boat and sailor and its
speed did so surpass
All the Others that before long he was
leading every class.
Quite alone he travelled onward in his
staunch craft meath the wave,
Little thinking of the brother whom he
was about to save;
Nor of fame which doomed before him
still unseen before his eyes;
Nor of anything but pleasure in his novel
enterprise.
All at once he spied an object in the water
floating by;
Quite unlike the logs and deadwood that
had passed before his eye.
He detected head and shoulders, then a
body struggling hard
To keep floating on the surface through
the waves which did retard.
Quick as thought he stopped his engine;
pulled the lever at his side,
Worked with all his power to turn If |
toward the strnggler for his guide.
Great was his delight and pleasure when
it yielded to his will
And his widest hopes he realized he was
surely to fulfil.
Fast he fastened to the struggler who
was sinking to his death,
Caught the body on his boats prov while
there still remained faint breath,
Brought his craft up to the surface where
he opened quick the door
And received the luckess victim who was
now to live once more.
70 the land he swiftly wended his wet
course and soon began
70 unload his boats limp cargo which he
found to be man
Who responded to his efforts to revive
the waning breath
Which at length came fast and faster as
he thus defeated Death

A Poultry Food of Genuine Merit.

| The manufacturer of any stock food must
be attentive to all the details of its prep
aration, being certain that only first-class
materials enter into its composition. II
is claimed for Pages Perfected Poultry
Food that there doesn't enter into its
composition single particle of the ordi-
nary meat meal which is the basis of so
many poultry foods. The nearest approach
to it is what is known as tallow scraps or
cracklings, and every grandmother who
has lived on the farm and taken care of
chickens knows there is nothing better to
make hens lay than tallow scraps, and
pages Perfected Poultry Food contains
a considerable percentage of this ingredi-
ent.
II you want to know more about this
food and the best ways of using it, write
to C. S. Page. Hyde Park. VT, for his
booklet, Profitable Poultry" 1t will be
