Of the best addresses of the evening.

perty owner and to the city resulting
from such an organization as the real
estate board and expressed hope that
every real estate man would be back
and pushing every project for the ad-
vancement of his individual city or to
the community as a whole. He ssil
that it had been his experience that
already a great many people in the
outside world looked upon the tri cit
les as Dne city of 100000 and that L

THE LITTLE HELPER.

Sometimes, when you, dear little one,
Have closed your eyes and gone to
sleep,
When all my daily tasks are done,
Beside your little bed creep,
To watch you smiling while you dream,
All pure at heart, from trouble free
And, though you do not know or guess,
You make me long for worthiness,
And lure my lost hopes back TO me.
Sometimes, when all my efforts seem
To be of no avail, and when
Ny wish to claim the worlds esteem
And be the peer of worthy men
Has seemed a futile wish, l bend
Beside you where you sleeping lie,
And, as l watch, my hopes return,
And through your trust in me learn
To keep ideals that are high.

And raindrops beat against the
When meath the storm the branches

And all the dripping boughs COM

You trust in me serene, secure,
And. though you do not know, you

Ny doubts away and let me keep
My faith unsoiled, my purpose
