A little more tired at the close of day
A little more anxious to have our way;
A little less ready to scold and blame,
A little more care for brothers name,
And so We are nearing the journeys
end,
Where time and eternity meet and
blend.
A little less care for bonds of gold,
A little more zest for the days of Old;
A broader view and a saner mind,
And a little more love for all man
kind;
And so we are faring down the way
That leads to the gates of a better day.
A little more love for the friends of
youth,
A little more zeal for established
truth;
A little more charity in our views,
A little less thirst for the daily news;
And so we are folding our tents away
And passing in silence at close of day.
50 4.
A little more leisure to sit and dream,
A little more real the things unseen;
A little nearer to those ahead,
With visions of those long loved and
dead;
And so we are going where all must GO
To the place the living may never
know.
A little more laughter, few more
tears,
And we shall have told our increas-
ing years.
The book is closed and the prayers are
said,
And we are part of the countless dead.
Thrice happy, then, if some soul can
say:
81 live because he has passed my
way"

WHY A Strong CHAMBER OF commerce?

merce.

What Is necessary to make a com
mercial organization a success from
tho standpoint of actual results is
explained in four page letter which
is being sent out today by the Cham
Der of Commerce. All persons eli
gible to membership will receive this
letter, which is as follows
The worst criticism that can be
made about Wilmington is that its
business. professional and manufac-
turing interests are not sufficiently
organized and working. in harmony.
Were we to harmonic sufficiently,
these varied interests that stand for
the prosperity Of Wilmington, COM
hining Them into central working
unit, with the sole purpose of ad-
yancing the communlty's interest, we
would have solved Wilmlngton's
greatest problem.
We have never had the personal
interest in the Chamber OF Commerce

cient as &c should be, and as effective
az similar organizations in many OF

shelves with goods, put clerk IN
charge and then ignored it,, that
store would not be a very profitable
Investment would IT.?
Precisely these same principles ap-
ply to our Chamber of Commerce.

City's business agent II is in the
business Of promoting every interest
that leads to a better and more pros

The advancement Of the communi'
