to consider applicants as candidates or
alternates who could not show them

congressman should appeal In his dis

letters and appeals for candidates ex

known throughout the country that no
candidate would be considered merely
because he was acquainted with some

The report this year shows de-
crease, Of nearly $1,000 In resources
and Liabilities. Two years ago the
demand for loans was not sufficient
to use up the income, aud as 1t is
the policy OF the association not to
keep idle money on hand. it was
necessary to meet this condition by
reduction OF paid up stock The
report this year shows a reduction of
81 900 In the paid up stock account.
Tho loans this year are within 5000
OF the amount n year ago, indicating
an Insufficient demand for money to
use up the regular monthly income
of 10000. The officers of the as

A PSALM OF Lire.

Tell me not in mournful numbers.
Lie is but an empty dream,
FOR The soul is dead that stunt ers,
And things are net what they seem.
Lie Is real Life is earnest.
AND the grave is not its goal;
LUST thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But TO act, that each tomorrow
FINDS us farther than today.
Art Is long, and Time is fleeting.
And our hearts, though stout and
brave,
sun, Ike muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches TO the grave.
In the worlds broad field of battle,
In the biyouac of Life,
Be not like dumb. driven cattle!
Be hero in the strife
Trust no Future. howe'er pleasant,
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act. act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead!
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands OF time:-
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing DER life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
SEEING, shall take heart again.
Let US, then, be up and doing,
With heart for any fate;
still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn TO labor and to wait.
