THE GOLDEN SIDE.
Mrs. A. NJ. Kidder.

There is many a rest In the road Of life
III we only would stop to make II:
And many a tone from the better land
IL the querulous heart would take IT,
To the sunny soul. that IL full OF hope
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth.
The grass Is green and the flowers are
bright,
Though the wintry storm prevalent.
Better TO hope. though the clouds hang
low.
And to keep the eyes stIll lifted.
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep
through
When the ominous clouds are rifted
There was never a night without day,
Or an evening without a morning:
And the darkest hour, as the proverb
goes.
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many a gem In the path OF life
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown.
Or the miser's boarded treasure;
II may be the love OF little child,
Or mothers prayers to heaven,
Or only a beggars grateful thanks
For cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web OF life
A bright and golden filling,
And 20 do Gods will with a ready heart.
And hands that are swift and willinE
Than to snap the delicate. minute threads
OF our curious lives asunder,
And then blame heaven for the tansied
ends.
And sit and grieve and wonder.

Emanoipating Business.

President Wilson has said that
not more than 10 per cent OF the
corporations need discipline. In

Country Life Schools.

II is quite agreed everywhere
that one OF the essential elements

Locating the Reserve Banks.

IL should not be long now before
the locations Of the federal reserve
banks under the new currency law
are announced. Il is open to doubt,
however, whether the tour OF the
country by the two cabinet members
charged with this responsibility has
changed the situation in the least,
although their observations. and the
familiarity thus acquired with the
business and financial conditions OF
the different sections, should be
valuable in the later discharge OF
their duties.

a question that directly concerns us.

Omaha ought to be on the new bank

visers must know that in setting the

ton the chief rock they must avoid
is that OF politics. II is to be ex-
pected that the democrats will have
the big end OF the appointive patron
age, but political considerations
ought not to control the location OF
the banks. By every requirement or
test, except that Of political claims,
Omaha is entitled TO recognition, for
omaha's one handicap is the political
disfavor of the democratic United
States senator from this state. whose
course has put him out Of Joint with
