His hands fall from the wheel;

What narrow channel there may

What Jagged rocks may jut out

The song the breezes sang ends

The trip is done-the world has

Along the shores where mirth

Sad murmur passes, and, with

genus Of trees, mostly from
Australia, many of them grow
to an immense heighth, one OF

extraordinary about it only to
some of US, when it was found
to be selling for $4,000 per

Still he could find nothing amiss'
and still at the central office the
little flame kept burning in the
niche dedicated to this particular

the size of an ordinary suitcase,
which was nailed up against large
tree close by the house.
In this box interval telephone

on the earthquakes on the isthmus,

Keep the heart pure and the
brain active. Study for the best
and when you have found it, work
and study for something still better
Never be satisfied with one good
aCt-nOr a hundred-nor a thous-
and But add them together one
after the other till at last you will
have a string of pearls to lift you
higher, instead of pebbles to sink
you lower. Hearts, like housee, can
be built out. Minds, like homes,
can be beautifed. 1t is as easy to
plant noble ambition as to plant
sordid desires and trees which bear
only bitter fruit. Remember that
it is little by little, inch by inch,
but steadily upward. This is the
way the work of the man becomes
a mansion. This is the way the
poor boy becomes the great man.
This is the way the apprentice be-
comes the master, and the intelli-
gence of mortals the power and un-
known greatness of those who are
immortal. Build your walls of
good material and they will last.
Be kind to the poor, for every good
act is a plant that will bear bios.

convention of the American Pu bic

He was a farmer and showed by
his complexion that he had tarried
long at the wine cup, but he was
perfectly sober at the time. He
came into the Office smiling and
said;
Doc, l wish you would examine
my throat
Il put him in the operating chair
and made a thorough examination
and could find nothing wrong, and
told him so. He looked up and
said
Are you sure, Doc, that there
is nothing wrong?
Il see nothing, I told him.
Not even a Scratch?'
No, not even a scratch
Well he said that is certainly
strange. Why, Doc. three farms,

of steers have gone down that

The Clinton County Democrat
says that Clinton county's popula-
ton is 2,066 smaller than it was 10
years ago. In commenting on this
loss the Democrat says that the
scarcity of children accounts for a
large part of this loss. showing that
in 1900 that county had 500 chill
dren of school age, but in 1910 she
only had 1924 The same condi-
tons prevail in every county in the
State. Take Monroe county, for
instance. In 1890 we had 1902
children of school age. In 1900 the
number had fallen to 6,104, and in
1910 the number had dwindled
down to 5,035. This shows a loss
of nearly 1000 in twenty years. If
this falling off continues at the
same rate in the future as it has
during the past twenty years, in SO
years or a little longer, there will
not be a single child in all
