When the LIGHTS Are Out.

What is life but endless sorrow?
What is love but brief tomorrow?
What is death but sweet oblivion?
Only a. little while more in the school of
life;
Only little more of all this care and
strife:
Only little while and the breath of life
is gone.
Only a little while to a brighter, happier
morn.
You cannot lock out love,
Else you would die
You must love something here.
know not why.
When the lights are out
When tits dark and still
When there's no one about
When you're all alone
DO you never wonder

Have an object In life,
A pure, honest motive,
And work with heart
That is earnest and true.
Turn not from the right,
Though strong the temptation,
Lean hard on the arm
That will carry you through.
1t will not all be sunshine,
The clouds will oft gather.
And gloomy and dark
You will oft find the way.
But the sun will come out
And will shine all the brighter,
No night is so long
That it ends not in day.
Ii is evil that binders,
Avoid it and shun it;
Be brave and be truthful,
BE Just and sincere.
Believe in yourself and
Have faith in your neighbor,
The world is all yours
And there's nothing to fear.

The man who does not hope
for better things and who does
not believe that better things
can be brought about is not the
man likely to bring better
things about. Constant criti-

The work of removing brown tail
moth nests in the city of Bath was as
a rule done this spring in a very salts
FACTORY manner But there was one
crew OF men, according to the Bath
independent, which did not do the
trick fairly in at least one instance.
They cut off several limbs of an elm
tree and carried them to the back part
OF a neighbours lot leaving thereon
some 80 or more of the brown tail
nests which they made no effort to
destroy.

To Help the Boys and Girls.


been reading a great deal about boys
and girls and of the different soci-
cites existing and being organized
to help them to become better men
and women. Wondrous helps that
father and mother did not have.
Among the societies that are most
interesting and helpful are the ''Boy
Scouts" and the "Triad Girls. In
the former, the boys are trained to be
true and obedient; they are shown
how purity Of thought and converse
ton makes them. manly; they are
taught the evils of laziness and the
necessity of each one doing his own
share. 1t is a heart warming sight to
see hundred or more boys together
and to know that each one is on his
mettIe to do only that which is honor
able and best.
''The Triad Girls originated with
a Mrs. Dorman of Seattle. 1t all is
very simple. Each member promises
to obey the Triad law-that is, to
cultivate the heart, cultivate the
head, cultivate the hand. The Triad
motto is ''Do something for others. "
In this little motto lies one of the
greatest secrets of human happiness
and success. Harriet Beecher Stowe
said. eve can make more of our
family, more of our friendship, more
of every secret thought of love, If
blossomed into deed.
So much for the splendid helps for
city and town jewellers. We regret
very much the lack of such pleasant
associations for those in the country,
but we are glad that boys and girls
do not have to belong to any particular
band or society to learn how to be-
come worthy men and women. Each
has his own character to build-in
this he is alone.
[ know The Ranch finds it's way to
homes far away from others; to where
there are few, if any, other periodi-
Gals; where hard work and bad luck
are ever present and luxuries are not;
where boys and girls are dissatisfied
and rebel because there is so much to
do, so little pleasure, and they long
to get out into the big world. They
read of the advantages of the city
but can not see between the lines
and learn of all the heart aches that
may come from those same oppor-
tunities.
They see neat looking young fellows,
stylishly dressed girls and envy them.
They do not understand what 1T
means to be under a roof where per-
haps not ray of Gods bright sun
shine enters the live long day. They
can not comprehend what it means to
endure the crash and whir of heavy
machinery for hours at a time; of
being at the beck and call of those in
authority, then going at night to a
place that serves as a home, but is
only room in building where every
one has troubles of his own and no
time to know whether the rest are
sick or we'll. They do not stop to
think what a struggle it must be to
make ends meet if one is not fitted to
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-08-01


work, weary bodies, and aching brains.
l wish some word of mine could make
the country boys and girls realize
how to make the most of their oppor-
tunities, to not imagine that every
place but home is an enchanted spot
where the best may be had withou1
effort. wish they would begin today
serious review of the present situa-
ton. One always has to prepare for
better things; begin now to put your
self Oh a higher plane. The oppor-
tunity for which you long may come
and find you unable to make good.
Every one wishes to have a success
full life. AS we have before stated.
Richard LIE Gallienne says "Success
consists in getting out of yourself all
the good there is in you, or, out of
life all the worth there is in it for
you" This can be done in the
country as we'll as the city and can
not be measured by dollars, cents,
place, or position. Live every day
the best you can for leach day lived
we'll means a we'll lived life. "
Keep busy, do your work we'll and
in time you will learn to like it.
Even the most ordinary task requires
some skill. If you can not do simple
things we'll, how can you expect to
do greater ones? Don't forget that
sensible people realize that good
farmers are not ignoramuses. They
may not know Blackstone or geome-
try, but they do know their own
business, which is far more essential.
And don't imagine, boys and girls,
that worthy city people respect you
any the less because you belong to
the country. That idea was worn
threadbare long ago. They will rate
you and treat you for just what you
are. Keep your mind on pleasant
things. Don't let it be filled with
unkind and wicked thoughts. When
you talk let it be about interesting
subjects, noted people or places
rather than the failings of your as
sociates. You can not hope to win
the friendship of the best people
when your eyes, which some one has
called the window of the soul, reflect
impurity Keep pure and you will
not be ashamed to look at people
straight.
Have courage to select friends who
have high ideals. Shun the boy or
girl who tells stories or things that
your parents only have the right tC
explain to you. Go to them and ask
them to tell you what you wish to
know. Perhaps you can't quite
understand but you must remember
that boys and girls don't understand
anything just right until they are old
enough.
Study hard as you have the chance,
and read much. Just remember that
some Of the greatest men in our
country we're unable to attend school,
but they improved each little winged
minute. l don't mean that it does
not matter about the school, but rather
one should not be silly and give up
because circumstances are adverse.
Be honorable. Do not let your
eyes see, your ears hear, your hands
touch, things not intended for them.
