The ignorant and prejudiced public
may contend that it is pleasant to hear
that right Is good and wrong is bad,
but so long as the exchange does not
specify what constitutes an account
with proper and adequate margin, y
or what constitutes the improper use
of a customers securities or what
constitutes reckless and unbusiness-
like dealing" these resolutions are
nothing more than innocuous plati-
tudes.
But it is in reality a great step for
ward when the stock exchange puts
itself on record as subscribing to plat

is white;
The singing Of the lark still fills him with
delight;
Say not that he is old because upon his
knee
His grandchild comes to lean:
His heart is brave and clean,
And beauty gives him glee.
Say not that he is old because his age 10
great;
He has not learned to sit alone and
mourn his fate;
Say not that he is Gid because his eyes
are dim;
Love still is in his soul,
And still a splendid goal
Is reckoning to him.
Say not that he is old because the grave
has won
The friends his childhood knew, thsir

Say not that he is old because his head
is gray,
For Time has failed to steal
His courage or his zeal,

When the mother. who was Lillian

she married DR. Turnbull, who adopt
