The Man in Gray.

ne wan III HIaN.
The Man in Gray comes trudging
down,
His heavy pack swung at his side;
And hither, thither, through the
town,
Wherever all the folk abide
The Man in Gray comes to the door
With messages both sad and gay
But he to us is nothing more
Than just the patient Man in Gray.
l see him beating through the rain
As cheerfully as in the sun;
He may bring news of loss or gain,
But day by day his task is done.
The sick man at the window smiles
AS do the children at their play
When, prompt in his accustomed
whites
Appears the faithful Man in Gray.
In winters cold and summers heat
He marches down the thorough
fare,
The trials of the snow and sleet
Are but the things that he must
bear
No flag above him is unfurled,
No drums keep time nor trumpets
bray,
Yet he brings us the outside world.
This unassuming Man in Gray.
The soldier on his tented field,
The sailor on the rolling foam,
Have the same valor here revealed
In this stout soul who works at
home.
At cottage door or mansion gate
He stops, then hastens on his
way
/ sometimes think among the great
Should stand the patient Man, in
Gray.
And now we send our gifts affair."
And so from dawn to twilight dim
The happy ones, wher-er they are,
Shall keep a daily watch for him.
Here's to that patient, toiling friend:
May he have cheer on Christmas
day
OF our good wishes let us send
A portion to the Man in Gray.

Prof. Sperati Directing Sangerfesi

Prof. Sperati Directing Sangerfest.
When you are several hundred
miles away from home it seems
mighty good to pick up a paper and
read Of home folks. While at Port
land, Oregon a few days ago we ran
across the following item in a Port
land paper, which is of special inter
est to Decorahians:
Spokane, Wash, Aug. 16.-The
Pacific Coast Norwegian Singers as
sociation will hold it's ninth Sanger
fest in Spokane on August 80, 8 and
Sept. 1.
Two concerts will be on the pro-
gram in which the different singing
societies, an orchestra and soloists
will take part. The grand chorus
will consist of about 500 voices and

Motor Bus Instead of Trolley.

The prediction is being made Tree
ly in quarters which should know,
that the general adoption OF the mo-
tor bus is likely to be the next most
striking phenomenon in urban ana
suburban transportation, comments
the Minneapolis Journal in discussing
the development of suburban tracts
and the tendency of the population
of the Twin Cities to seek lake shore
sites fer residences in the beautlful
lake region that surrounds them.
The advantages are explained by
the Minneapolis paper are that the
motor bns does not need nor demand
heavy investments in franchises,
track laying, power wires and pow
or stations. The initial cost for the
buses is comparatively small, ana
the bus travels where the trolley
profitably can not"
Build the permanent, hard surfac-
cd roads of gravel or with paved

and the motor bus will find its way
into service as certainly as the olu

The stomach and bowels are lined
