Today is thine-thy certain gift from
fate;
No more she gives to any; yester-
day
Has gone with the dead years that
passed away,
Ere Helen sailed to Troy, OF Rome

Tomorrow Is not, and may never be-
Wait not upon it; do that thing to-
day
For which thou wouuld'st the great,

When silently he comes to beckon
To-day is fair pearl, pearl of price,
{ Strung on a thread our eyes may
never see;

And never gives itself to any twice.
Swift turns Times wheel, which
moves the little hours;
Behold! How short the span we know
as ours!

WHAT DOES IT MEAN7

The Canton (Mo.) News announced
a short time ago that it had been sold
to a man from somewhere up north
In Iowa or Minnesota who would take
possession the following week. In its
next issue the News said that the man
who had purchased 1t had failed to
| perform his part OF the contract. In
stead Of putting in an appearance and
paying the purchase price he wrote
that his son had become involved in
serious difficulty and 1t took all his
| money to get him out. He protested
great sorrow at the turn affairs had
taken, and wound up the letter with
the statement that the only alternative
was to go back to teaching school and
plausible enough. and the News editor
voiced the belief that the man was
honest and meant to do what was
right. Perhaps this belief was justifi-
ed, but how is it to be reconciled
with repetition OF the incident re-
ported by the Mt. Pleasant Free
Press, assuming that the same man
figured in both deals? The paragraph
in the Free Press is as follows:
The man who bought the Salem
News from S. C. Merrill has been I'M
able to fill the contract. He writes
the editor of the, News that he has
spent all his money to help his son
out of bad scrape and that he will
have to go back to teaching school to
earn more money. The people had
given the Merrills a farewell recep-
ton and gave them some presents. 1t
should be some satisfaction to the
Merrills to know that the people at
Salem feel kindly toward them We
don't know whether there is an editor
in Mt. Pleasant who would be given
a reception il he made arrangements
to leave town or not. 1t is possible
that some of the people might agree
to reception If some of us promised
to leave
1t will be noted that the story told
by the man in both cases was the
same. whence the presumption follows
that it was told by the same individual.
in negotiating for the papers if he had
no intention of fulfilling his contracts?
The only material gain that would
likely come to him would seem to
accrue through making use of the pre-
tended purchases as ruse for Dor
rowing money or obtaining credit But
no losses on this account have been
reported to date. The coincidence of
the purchase of the two papers i.
peculiar, to say the least.
