My Boyhood's. Happy Days.

MY thoughts wander back to a dear
little cot,
Where in boyhood. spent all my
happiest days
Mid scenes that to me, have often
been fraught,
With numerous blessings i'll various
ways
And there | was happy as happy
could be,
For there was blest with a fond
loving mother,
Whose priceless love was so precious
For my mothers love could be
equaled by none other.
Home of my boyhood, how dear IS
that place,
And even to memory most sacred
Will be,
Oh, how can / help but remember the
days,
/ spent there with those who were
dearest to me?
There, mother would shield me from
pain and from care,
And when weary of play, she'd rock
me to sleep;
There she did teach me to say the
first prayer,
TO ask our great Father, My soul
TO keep
How well remember the sweet lul-
tables
Mother would sign for me, Ger and
Ger:
And each time she sang them, 10 my
surprise,
They seemed to me sweeter than
ever before,
And, while memory lasts each one III
treasure,
For / love them now as dearly as
when
heard the sweet voice when gave
me such pleasure,
And each note is as distinct now
as then.
But. alas, loving mother, long since
you departed,
This dark world of sorrow and iei'
me in grief:
No wonder that I've since been broken
hearted
In losing your care, which proved
all too brief,
In the old village church YARD. De
meath a small mound,
Her sacred ashes lies peaceful AZ
rest;
They buried her body there, ~ ins
cold ground

Or. Su;chisons' Advice.


Des Monies Tribune: During his
visit in Des Moines, Dr. Woods Hutch
inson gave us a very interesting lot
of advice very eutertaininsiy express
ed. He touched upon most everything
eating and spelling school-golng
working and various other matters
pertaining to the life of men, women
and children.
But how much of his advice is prac.
.tical for the average man, woman aud
child?
Don't get up until you feel like It..

tion on the nonsense of the old saws
about early rising. But that is not adj

ting up.

until he is ten years old before he is
sent to the school room. he told an
iother audience. But that is not adj
vice for the many either Circuni-
stances prevent the adoption OF such
advice in the case of vast majority
of the boys and girls. Their parents
cannot choose freely as to the ZINE

DR.. Hutchinson sometimes deals too
imuch with what ought to be without
reference to what can be for the ay-
Ierage man, woman and child

Must Let LIGHT Shine.

Clinton Herald The Waterloo Re.
porter in referring to the fact that the
Touring mill at Spirit Lake had closed
down for want Of local patronage. says
this illustrates in a small way one
OF the reasons Why Iowa is losing in
population. That is perhaps true,
and i also may perhaps be true that
Iowa people have not been loyal
enough in the past to home institu-
tons. But this is an age OF progress
and an age OF publicity. and the bust
ness, man who fails to keep himself
before the public, and prominently,
whether he be a retailer or a manufac-
turer, is going to fall behind in the
race. It is more than probable that
the owner of the Spirit Lake mill was
like the man who hid his light under
bushel and the people forget that
he was there. The advertiser who is
always before the public is just like
"the early bird that sol the worm.

Harvey Cromwell, for more than
six years rural mail carrier of To
peka, kan, has Just replaced his
old mail wagon with new one. The
old wagon is thought to hold the rec
ord in Kansas for long service.
Cromwell makes a trip of thirty miles
day and 500 trips a year, and since
he entered the service he has used
the old wagon on every trip. This
means that the wagon has covered a
distance of about 10000 miles in the
six years and ten months it has been
in use. The wheels and tires on the
old wagon are the same that were on
Y when II was purchased.

will permit. 1t is a question requiring
time and thought. The men who in
spire it, who place their mmoney in

tain that it will be financially profit
able and satisfactory from a point of

every reason to believe that in reas-
enable time a new hotel will be under
construction. 1t is frequently easier
to build the building than to secure
the right management There should
be as much haste as possible but no
mistakes.
