When the Davenport Democrat sees
young men of fourteen to sixteen
years of age with apparently nothing
to do but to draw hard on pipe and
inhale and blow smoke out of their
nostrils, while spending most of their
afternoon in front of baseball bull

casionally falters in it's hope for the
future of young America. Certainly
such spectacle will contribute lit

Who dared the wilderness and fought
With wild men single-handed there;
Who cleared the underbrush and
wrought
Out destiny with patient care!
In their small clearings. here and
there,
BY creek, and river, as they Jared,
The settlers cabin braved despair,
And challenged death and dared
The awful loneliness that crept
In through the broken chinks and
laid
Across the crib, where children slept,
Beside which woman prayed!
They were the heroes Of the race
Who conquered by the might
OF manhood; who stood face to face
With God and knew the right
And did it with a fearless trust
That brooked no shriveling Goubt;
Who did the things that ever must
Be done-as bravely did without.
It was the sons of hardy sires-
And not one whit less hardy these
Who kindled first their wayside fires
On the wide prairies without trees.
Where the dread desolation swept
Across their spirits, day and night;
Strong men struggled and women wept
For loneliness beyond requite.
Such were the men and such their
wives
Who laid the corner-stones of
State;
Who gave, in sacrifice, their lives
That we might here become the
great,
Rich Commonwealth, which now we

Far-spread splendors of grain and
gold,
With wealth which cannot pass
away.
But they have passed-are passing
The remnants of the pioneers;
With the deep burrows on their brow
Yet with cheeks unblanched by
fears;
While heads are bent and steps are
slow,
Their spirits are encountered yet
They go the way all heroes go

Millennium Draws Near

The following dispatch from rustin
in Wexford county certainly foreshad-
ows the dawning of the millennium
when, it is written, "the lion and the
lamb shall lie down together, and the
swords shall be beaten into pruning
hooks and war shall be no more.p
The dispatch says "In justice court
at Sherman, Mich, w. A. Mcdowell,
publisher of the Tustin Times, sued
Andrew J. Mlnzey, proprietor of the
Matthews House at Sherman, for back
subscription TO his paper Minzey's
defense was that when the time for
which he had paid was up, the pub
Usher should have stopped the paper,
but admitted he had continued TO take
il from the postollice. The court held
acceptance of the paper implied a con-
tract and gave the publisher judgment
for the full amount claimed.
Minzey proved good loser. Not
only did he pay the account in full,
but he also advanced his subscription
on the Times books. To cap the eli
max he served Mcdowell and his
witnesses with an oyster supper The
erstwhile litigants are now fast friends.

The club has gradually advanced
