Once on a Radiant Morning.

Once on a radiant Morning..
Once on a radiant morning,
All on a summers day,
My best beloved set forth with me
Along the hearts highway:
The land was filled with sunshine,
Because 1 loved her so,
And all the world was good and fair
But that was long ago.
Now L am old and weary:
Mine eyes with tears are blind,
AS. near the journeys end, l turn
Once more to look behind
Back to a radiant morning,
Back to a summers day,
To her who once set forth with me.
Blu came not all the way.

The Ticket Collector.

The people come, the people go,
The ticket man stands there;
The trains rush in and out below,
And some one steps aside to know
How much his extra fare;
None stay to look at anything,
But each alone, intent,
Passes with haste or measured swing,
And, thinking of a different thing,
Walks up the dark ascent.
o ticket man, the sky is bright
With golden floods of sun
Not yours that wide, blue, radiant sight
Here business jostles out the light
And night and day are one.

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken In Selec-
ton of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

II you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed in a wilderness,
your first thought would be of food
supply and your next Of shelter, for
these are the two most vital necessi-
ties of mankind. It is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tials.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry in the
past fifteen years, as regards comfort,
service and architectural beauty than
in the fifty years previous.
Only in recent years has the hand
ling of cement in building work been
understood properly, and progress is
still constantly being made with it,
Modern hotels and Office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
mouldings and steel veenered doors.
Nearly every important change in
building construction is away from
the fire hazard Of wood.
One of the most significant develop.
ments of recent years is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt shingle which
is, on new construction and old, rapid
ly supplanting the wooden article
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty to
any building-in fact, there is really
no comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate of pleasing
tints of red or green, is employed as
surfacing. The shingles are uniform
ly eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing is necessary as the red or green
crushed slate is natural and therefore
cannot fade.
The purchaser, however, should
guard himself against buying a slate
surfaced shingle that is not guaran-
teed by a reliable and responsible
manufactures. There are so many
kinds of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming to be the
best that 1t becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur-
ance that the roofing or shingles are
represented honestly.

Did He Put His Foot In III

An English soldier, a member of the
Second South Stafordshre Regiment,
says that one bitterly cold night in
early spring he and his mates came
out of the trenches. They were bill
leted in a barn, where they were
packed in very close.
Though numb with cold, we were
soon asleep" said the soldier, in tell
ing the incident. Il was awakened in
the night by one of my chaps trying
to put his boots on. After he had
been trying for a minute or two
heard the fellow next to him say:
What the - are you dom?
Putting my boots on was the re-
ply.
