lost faith in each other, If we are
capable of attributing the most sin

What's Your Hurry.
Where's you going, friend, so fast?
What's your hurry?
Think of all the joy you've passed
In your hurry.
Take it easy, spare minute for
pleasant friendly talk,
There are blessings all about you if
you travel at a walk
There are smiles to cure your worries,
kindly words your cares to balk,
What's your hurry?
Won't the prize you strive for keep?
Must you hurry
If it won't, it's surely cheap,
Cut the hurry.
Many years the world has waited for
your message or your song
If the world still waits little, it viii
likely get along,
And the song will be the sweeter and
message just as strong.
What's your hurry?
Life rewards us day by day
What's your hurry?
Don't forget to take your pay
In your hurry?
BY and by, you say? But listen; by
and by you'll have to rest
With ton OF earth and granite press
ing firmly on your chest
AS ! delicate reminder that to travel
slow is best.

The bee to the hive, and the bird to
the nest,
And the weary sun to the waiting
west;
The opened bud to its close again.
And sleep to the heavy eyes Of men.
Night bringeth the hour OF all the
best
1t bringeth the babe to mothers
breast.
The owl to the tree, and the stars to
the sky.
And the silver moon to its journey
high;
The beetle lurcheth in humming
fight,
While the freely flashes across the
night;
Then cometh the hour of softest
charms
That bringeth the babe to mothers
arms.
The night foldeth in as drapery soft
AS the far perfumes that the breezes
watt;
The world Is there-but we are here
With lullaby. lullaby, low and clear,
Night sendeth the hour of all apart
1t bringeth the babe to mothers
heart.

Chas. I.andOn Hurt and Buggy is
Demolished.

Gus Thurston, driver at the fire de-
partment, made rather thrilling
stop of n runaway horse at the corner
of Church and Prospect streets about

came frightened at the corner of
Bellefontaine avenue and David
streets and running INTO a telephone
pole, threw Charles Landon, who was
driving, out into the dust. Breaking
loose the animal ran to the fire de-
partment where Thurston with diff
Guilty stopped him. Landon, a farmer,
living west of the city, was slightly
hurt in the spill but was able to fol-
low the course taken by his horse.
The buggy was practically wrecked
and the harness was torn to pieces.
