Fall q Season of Memories.

Fall q SedSOn 0t Memories.
 The violet, the frail snowdrop, the hyacinth, the wild primrose, the foxglove and woodbine, and the Narcissus (named for him who died for love) all are messengers of the holy spirit working silently toward the spiritual coupling of two souls.
 The walk beneath the apple blossoms in and the cuckoo is softly calling fills the lovers souls with ecstasy.
 The intoxicating breezes make of the blos- som laden trees harp which to strike responsive chords.
 With summer, the season of anticipation has passed away. The hopes of vernal morn- ings have ripened into realities. The future no longer is the source of enjoyment. Youth is gone with the passing of spring.
 The sources of enjoyment in summer are abundant enough-the velvety softness of the evening air, heavy with the scent of roses; the melodies that come from nook tree, rock, dell. and fountain; the hum of bees, the dash ing of waves and waterfalls But the Ian guid recreation of the summer day makes the summer romance feeting thing. With all the summer joys we cannot help wishing for renewal of those feelings with which we greet ed the first early lower-the first note of the bird.
 There is a sadness always in the fruition of hopes. And the capacity for summer pleasure

~ URING the procession of the seasons
 unquestionaby there is exerted some O undefned specific influence which in
 some manner tends to affect the human emotions.
 But spring is the season of the holiest of all emotions-ldve. Love knows no age but youth in spring. Be the lovers 60 or be they 16, spring stirs in them the same emotions the same spirit of awakening and the same spirit of youth. And the song in their hearts and on their lips is ever that dear old mel ody: springtime Is Love Time" Spring is youth It is the awakening of nature Ieve is the god of nature Love is the great awakening. And spring is the season of love!
 Spring is the birthday of love. It is the occasion of poetry It is the inspiration in gentle natures of the purest and most rever- cntial love.
 Art and poetry have long affirmed the emo tional tendencies which accompany the bud ding year.
 The advent of spring produces upon all animated nature a state of exaltation. In the spring fuller crimson upon the
 robins breast;
 Tn the spring the wanton lapw1ng gets himsef
 another crest:
 h the spring a livelier iris changes the bur
 nished dove;
 in the spring young mans fancy lightly turns
 thoughts Of love. The seasons are emblematic of life. Spring IS youth, full of action, hope, and gladness. Summer brings the ripening of youthful hopes
  rival at manhood and womanhood With au- tamn comes tranquility and sober comforts for a well spent life-regrets for an i'll spent youth and manhood The winter atmosphere is dreariness and bleakness.

 In fall there is an influence breathing from all nature that leads us to meditate on the charms of the seasons that have flown. It is a season of memories
 There is joy in the cool nights of the fall, in the surpassing sonnets of the harvest time, and the clear and brilliant days. But the divesting of the foliage of the woods and the changing of the variegated hues of sum mer to one monotonous tnge of brown and

Because of the ungracious sign of devasta- ton at hand we breathe not with the exalting breath of spring. We breathe with depres- sion of the heart as we look over the wide and withered fields proclaiming that winter is at hand.
 The frost Is in the air. Its icy fingers feel the leaves and death follows in its wake The fields have lost all vernal cheer and the birds have taken flight to southern skies.
 The saddest days are autumn days

 Heart Sighs whh Winter Winds. The harvest time is merry time. The pleasant rural occupations of reaping and fruit gathering are changed into joyous occa- sions. But in the fruits there is less to be loved than in the flowers. The fruits of the harvest we prize as bounteous gifts. But they are not endowed with thoughts of love and life as are the flowers of spring.

He wants to save enough money until we can start housekeeping in the right way.

Recently he de- clared his love in such glowingly ardent terms that cannot doubt his word. And know in my inmost heart l return his affection, but I have always vowed that l would never unite myself to minister, I would not live the life of self-denial poor ministers wives must endure. Won't you advise me as to whether shall make the change of his occupation the price of my hand, or shall give him up en- tirely? PERPLExEp POLLY"
 Better give him up, Polly. It would be hardly fair to ask the man to sacrifice his life work merely on your account. There are plenty of girls who are fond of ministers and would be happy to be their wives.

ROOSEVELT WRONG AGAIN
Makes Another Statement Which Is
Absolutely False.

Colonel Roosevelt really has a great
many things to his credit, and this
makes it all the more strange that he
should insist upon claiming credit tc
which he has no shadow of title.
There is the pure food law for ex-
ample. 1t is notorious that this was
one of the measures in which he has
but little interest. 1t is doubtful if he
ever so much as mentioned the sub
ject to any member of congress while
the bill was pending, and it is entirely
certain that it would have passed,
even if he had actively opposed it, so
nearly unanimous was the sentiment
in congress in favor of it. And yet in
a recent letter to a man in Kansas
Colonel Roosevelt said that the pure
food and drug bill became a law pure
ly because of the very active part
took in getting it through congress-
and adding that after gentlemen such
as Mr.. Wiley had vainly urged the bill
he used men like Mr.. Garfield, ther
secretary of the interior, and got 4
through.
But the truth is that Mr.. Garfield
was not appointed secretary of the in
terror until six months after the bill
was passed!
If it were somebody else who ha'
set up 80 wholly %unfounded a CLAIM
and had made so manifest a misstate
ment in connection with it, can yol
not imagine how promptly the Colone
would have nominated him for men
bership in his famous club?

Tariff Revised Downward.
The tariff has been revised down
ward. Under the Payne tariff law, ap-
proved by President Taft, the list of
articles admitted duty free was in
creased, while the average rates of
duty upon all dutiable articles was de-
creased. No American industry has
been crippled and not one American
workman has been thrown out Of en-
ployment by reason of it's enactment.
Believing that the schedules might be
still further revised, President Taft
created the tariff board, an organiza-
tion of experts, who dealt with the
tariff problem from a business point
of view and who suggested further
changes. The Democratic house of
representatives ignored these we'll
considered recommendations and also
legislated the tariff board out of ex-
istence. The tariff bills vetoed by
President Taft were framed by a com.
mittee Of fourteen Democrats, eleven
of whom are lawyers and the other
three have had no business expert
ence.
President Taft has enforced the EN-
ployer's liability act and approved the
extension of it's provisions so that en-
ployes of railroad carriers may brins
suits in any district in which the de
PENDANT was doing business at thC
time of the commencement of the
