Human Life for October.

With the advent of Autumn
come the long evenings, when a
really good magazine adds immeas-
ureably to the happiness and WE'LL
being of the whole family. HUI
man Life is the good old English
roast beef of the magazine menu =
a substantial meal in itself. 1t
deals with living men and women,
whose lives and acts are American
history in the making. Parents
do themselves and their growing
boys and girls wrong to omit it
from the evening circle.
The October issue is a tempting
one. In the opening article Fred
erick w. Coburn tells the fascinat-
ing story Of one of Americas great
est Captains of Industry-Theo-
dore N. Vail, whose strong hand
guides the destinies of that gigan-
tic organization, the American Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company.
A wonderful story of modern Ma
poleon Of finance and organization.
Thomas Dreier tells how Eliza
beth Towne, one of the most po-
tent leaders in New Thought, con-
quered poverty and unhappiness
through the knowledge Of the
great Truths she had tested in the
crucible of her own experience.
Next to Roosevelt's own books
it is safe to say that nothing pub
lisbed in this country today is at
tracing anything like tue eager
reading accorded Alfred Henry
Lewis's great serial, The Story of
Roosevelt. His pen pictures of
the great political leaders of Roose-
velt's day reveals facts that fill the
reader with amaZement.
Among the other strong features
that make up this splendid num-
Der are: Dave Ranney, Member of
Men; Ida Conquest and Her Phi
losophy Of Clothes; L h r a
Founder Of the House of Govern
ors; Gavin McNab, Clean Boss of
San Francisco; Modern Mortals;
Celebrities of the Day; The Came

Then And Now.

Things aren't like they were in the days
When I had to 60 to school.
No one ever tells us that it pays
To follow the Golden Rule.
We don't get the chance to 90 fshin',
Or to sneak down to the creek for swim.
Once when | got ba. * [ was wshin'
That I'd never gone at all, by jim!
For ma gave me pretty good licking,
My clothes were all dirty and wet,
But what is the use of our kicking
For the return of days we never forget?
Now it's steady fight, grab and hustle
For a hold on the ladder Of life;
It's the honest and brave in the tussle
Who mount highest out of the strife.
So let's all pull together,
Buck the line often and hard
It's those who show the white feather
That are first to reach the discard!

Land of beauty. Memories
Draw me to thee back again.

Bloom again as years ago;
AS OF yore doth evening glow 80.
From celestial heights descend.
But where are the braves left
And the maids in gay attire?

And of music art bereft?
Are the cries on Cuban sod
Of the braves who fought for thee?
Are thy maids in memory
Wandering where thy gaIlants trod?

The Life of a Dav.

Today will soon be yesterday,
Their tomorrow'll be today.
Tomorrow II not be yesterday
Nor yesterday today.
Today is ever present,
While tomorrow's on its way.
Yesterday is past and gone
Forever more to stay.
Think well, then, of the future,
Forgetting not today;
Let the sunshine of the present
Shine on byegone yesterday.
Let no act be done today
That tomorrow you'd not have barred;
Ii you'd not have sorrows
That by loved ones must be shared,
Dream not of wasted Yesterdays
That are gone forever more,
For today you're swiftly drifting
Toward tomorrow's golden shore.
Leave not undone until tomorrow
What may be done today,
For twill oftimes bring you sorrow
That will never pass away.
Build your castle, then, upon rock
Not on ropes of sand
That the sometimes angry sea of life
Your castle may Withstand.

FRAUD IN WHITE PINE

1t is charged that there has been
some skulduggery in White Pine
county over the primary elecvion. In
the Preston precinct the ballots were
taken from the polling place and
counted in a private house.
This is being shown in a contest
between H. A. Comins and Henry
Nicholson, both republican candidates
for county commissioner.
The claim is that fraud was indulg-
ed to count in certain republican can
didates. If this is shown it will re-
suit in the throwing out OF Preston
precinct. This may change the com
p~lexion of the state ticket.
