A Cow Song.

/ sing about the stately COW, with
antlers growing on her brow, a tas-
sci on her tail; no other animal can
put so we'll and skillfully its foot
inside siX-quart pail. My old COW
prods me with her horns, and puts
her Trillbys on my corns, and fills
my soul with grief; but she consoles
me with some milk that's smooth
and white and fine as silk, and rich
beyond belief. The city-dwelling
modern man goes TO the grocers for
a can of milk made by a trust; and
all the people of that ilk, who live
on canned or doctored milk are
gaunt and sad faced; while / who
keep a large red COW, could polish
off Jack Johnson now, and vindicate
the race. For you, o COW, my harp
swat! You have your fats as who
has not? You trample on my toes;
and when / come with shining pail,
you slug me with your muddy tail,
and nearly break my nose. And
often, when I'm in your stall, you
Jam me up against the wall and
break three ribs or four; and when
the buckets nearly full of milk as
white as carded wool, you kick it
through the door. But then that
milk is just a dream and when it
comes to sure-thing cream a man
must have a COW; and so I'll gladly
overlook the passing kick, the play
full hook from those spikes on your
brow.-Walt Mason.

Answer a Few Questions.

Do you love your town? Do you
have any concern for its future?
Would you like TO see it grow, pros
per and extend its trade and infiu-
ence? If you do, then ask yourself
these questions: do i help support
ind maintain its institutions? Do /
encourage every movement looking
to the up-building of the town? Do
/ speak a good word for the town
and the people at every opportun-
ity? Do i lend assistance to its in
dustries? Do / patronize them? Do
fully understand the duties de-
volving upon me as citizen?" If
you cannot answer these questions
in the affirmative then you are not
only a. stumbling block but detri-
ment TO any community.

To the Front.

The good men must always be at
the front. 1t is not enough that
there be more good men than bad,
but they must be at the front every
where and at all times. Une man
in a position of influence is worth a
thousand men single-handed and sill
ent. 1t is Christians duty to WELD
all the influence he can honestly and
Judiciously, wherever he is. If a
mechanic, be leader as far as con-
sistency will allow, in the councils
of labor; IL drummer" be a lead
er among commercial Travellers; If
merchant, be as successful as con-
science and circumstances permit;
in politics, be always on hand sac
rifice time, convenience and comfort
to be at the caucus and the POLLS. 1t
requires more grace, more head and
heart TO be leader in social, schol-
astic, mechanical, mercantile or po-
litical life, constantly and consis-
tently, than it does to be the best
deacon, superintendent or prayer
meeting worker in the city, and ii
is as essential in it's way.
